Biscuits & Jamz Reviews
We're Houstonians who come in each chance we can. Please be aware there will be a wait since it's a local small business but definitely worth the wait. The food always has a homemade taste with each dish like their waffles, hash, and especially their homemade biscuits and jams!! Every visit they have a new jam to taste. The Josh and Pork chop plate will always be our go-to order
I'll keep this short and to the point: make sure you have breakfast/brunch here when you're in the Lake Charles area. Boudain Hash was phenomenal! Seasoned well, and the flavors all work together amazingly. 10/10 The Kari is a salmon croquette, on top of a fried cheesy-grit cake, topped with Chipotle shrimp, and love. Biscuit was homemade, buttery, and excellent. 9.5/10 Pancake (not pictured, but I mowed through it quickly) - perfect....crispy edges, fluffy center. 10/10 Service: Everyone was friendly and accomodating. Very attentive and even asked how our experience was. Id ggo back, even if the food was medicore, for them. The food being amazing was the cherry on top. 11/10 We went around 9:30 on a Saturday, and there was a wait of about 45 minutes. Worth every minute. Don't sleep on this gem, trust me. Get there without delay.
Oh my . Best thing I tasted in a long time ! Highly recommended! It well worth searching for. Staff was great
Total Yelp find on a recent trip to Lake Charles. Came from Texas to visit some famous chef's steakhouse on my birthday weekend. We stayed just over the bridge in Westlake. Saturday morning we awoke looking for coffee and the all important breakfast before we went for that big fancy $$$$ dinner. We arrived just in time to avoid the wait; this place obviously has a local reputation. My mom immediately exclaimed how good the coffee was. That would be a secret blend of Folgers and Jim Beam coffee mixed in. Let me tell you friends, there is Walmart purchased condiments on every table. What they do with them is glorious. The secret ingredient is Cajun love. My Ashley omelette had bacon, link sausage, shrimp, jalapenos, onion and bell pepper. Four eggs not three; paired with one of the best cheesy grits I've ever had. My mom HATES grits..She loved this version. Man boy had the chicken and waffles. GF had the Shuggah hash Mom had the BJ omelette. All perfectly presented southern love on a plate. By the time we left folks were parking behind other cars so nobody ahead of them could leave. Possibly the best breakfast find in Louisiana.
Amazing black owned restaurant! It's located in a neighborhood in Lake Charles so don't think your GPS is off. I went and truly enjoyed the music and vibe of the restaurant. I ordered the seafood grits with shrimp, imitation crab meat, and sausage over creamy gouda grits with a fried fish filled. Sooooo good. That fish was fried to a golden brown and the batter on it was good! I also had a waffle and a homemade biscuit which both were good. The service was ok, the young lady was nice. 9/10, I'll be back again.
