What People Say

Most Disliked
While Janie's Cafe is appreciated for its delicious food, some customers mention the longer wait times during peak hours. Freshly prepared meals take time, and it can be a bit frustrating when the cafe is packed, especially on Sundays around 11 AM when it reaches 100% capacity. However, many agree that the wait is worth it for such high-quality food.
Another point of critique is the self-seating arrangement, which may catch first-time visitors off guard. Locals often know to bypass the host stand and find an open table, but new guests might benefit from clearer instructions or signage. Additionally, some diners have pointed out that certain food items, like fries, could use more attention in cooking to achieve the right crispness.

Delicious food. Great service. There was also live music too. I have great experiences here always!

It's always packed. The food does take time to come out because it's fresh and they make it according to who placed the order first. The food is delicious so the wait is worth it. I love that they serve breakfast all day so I do recommend this place!

Arriving at 12:15 on a Wednesday, we had excellent service and delicious, huge meals. Hubby had Janie's #2 (combo fajita plate with fries and Texas toast). The fries needed to be cooked longer, they were limp. Everything else was exceptional. Many shrimp in the meat combo. Huge green salad. I had #58 Mexico City, which included cheese enchilada, fajita beef taco (huge!), a yummy tostada and beans and rice. The beef was so good. The cheese enchilada was excellent. I pulled off all the tortillas as I'm watching my carbs. Such good homemade fresh squeezed lemonade, not too sweet. And their homemade salsa is HOT but so tasty. We are definitely coming back here and bringing our friends! Very reasonable prices. Can't wait to try their breakfast. UPDATE: 11/3/23 Had brunch here with 3 friends. Delicious coffee. Great food (try the pancakes and French toast!). Excellent, friendly service. A+++ rating Best pancakes ever!

Great food but be prepared to wait some minutes as the food is being prepared fresh. It is worth it. Have breakfast here alot and always hot and fresh! Especially the tortillas! Will keep going as breakfast is served all day.

We love the food here. The decor is nothing to brag about but the wait staff gets the job done. They are usually so busy that there is no host to seat you and if you've never been there before, you wouldn't know to go to an open table and seat yourself. The only way we knew was when some locals, who were also waiting for a table, told us that. We ordered breakfast chilaquiles with eggs and a pork chop with eggs and potatoes. Both dishes came out hot and tasty. The prices are pretty good, the two of us ate for under $20. Our server was very good, taking care of several tables at once. This restaurant is always busy with locals, which is always a sign of good food!
