In our search for a unique restaurant in the East Texas area, we decided to go to Nacogdoches and try one that we had selected. However, that one didn’t open till late, so we found Pemberley”s at the Jones House. Pemberley’s is a bed & breakfast in a restored 1879 house with Queen Anne style detailing throughout.
My wife had the Chicken Mushroom Crepes, and I had the Quiche Lorraine with a pot of Blueberry Herbal Tea.
They are only open from 11 am – 2 pm on Tuesday – Friday. If you’re in Nacogdoches around lunchtime and want a good meal, then this is one you need to try.

We had such a wonderful lunch here!!! The ambiance, decor, and food were sublime! There was only 1 waitstaff; this was not fair because she could not keep up with the demands of the noon hour. She was sweet, however, and our experience was still absolutely wonderful!! This is now one of my favorite places to eat in Nacogdoches!!!!

Beautiful Victorian house, presently a B’n’B, lunch room, and tea room. We had tea and it was terrific. The finger sandwiches were excellent. 3 teas to drink- we could ask for a different tea each refill. The scones were the best I’ve ever eaten. We were so stuffed we brought the desserts home and we are about to dig in. The service was excellent. Gorgeous woodwork and decor, including fabulous floral displays.

Pemberley’s Review
A true test of a restaurant for me is after your visit and experience you are immediately planning a return visit. And so it was with this exquisite dining establishment.
The culinary creations from the kitchen were at a level to declare some of the most enjoyable food from any restaurant in Nacogdoches.
The ambiance is lovely and so different from restaurants here in Nacogdoches.
The background music, white linen table settings along with cloth napkins had me feeling as if I was back at Commander’s in New Orleans.
The service provided by Jasmine and Dillon was attentive but not intrusive. They both were so professional and helpful for our first visit. Had to share this first dining experience at Pamberley’s with my wife Bethany.
She is as pleased as I am with this unique place.
Now on to the food selections.
The Shrimp Rémoulade was devine. Beautiful devein farm raise shrimp served with lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, eggs, and black olives along with a most delicious rémoulade sauce.
Bethany totally enjoyed the Chicken Mushroom Crepes. I tasted her selection and it was delicious as everything we ordered. The creamy béchamel sauce made this dish a winner.
We both were also delighted with a cup of their Creamy Chicken Soup. The mirepoix with plenty of chicken, butter, and cream. A bowl would have been better to order and enjoy.
We gave in for the Chocolate Cake dessert. Decadent and so good with their coffee.
Pemberley’s has no liquor license but was informed we may bring in our bottle of wine to compliment the tasty food. Corkage fee of $5.00 per person is very reasonable.
The only problem for me to report with this establishment is that it is operational only Tuesday thru Friday from 11:00am to 2:00pm.
And there is High Tea served on Thursday late afternoon.
A most enjoyable dining experience for us in our new home here in Nacogdoches.
This first of many visits had my taste buds doing the Jitterbug. Pemberley’s would be a very successful restaurant in New Orleans.

The food was great and it was served on a fancy three tier platter. Paired with three tea selections it made for an interesting experience. The negatives of dining in at this tea house and a word of caution, their reservations are “guaranteed”. If you say you are bring five people, than they make food for five. You are expecting to pay for five even if you only have two show up. At thirty dollars a person it’s an extremely costly experience so be careful!

I always love coming to Pemberley’s! I’m always greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff there truly go above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest. They’re also so knowledgeable on the quality of their service and they deserve all their flowers and recognition as the best place to eat in Nac if you’re ever looking for something new, you won’t regret it!

The food was delicious and the house was beautiful!! I highly recommend stopping by for something to eat or staying in one of the rooms. While I’ve never stayed there myself I heard that they have rooms upstairs where guests can stay.

Food and atmosphere were fine; service was chaotic. We asked for a chair to be removed as one of our party was in a wheelchair. They took away the entire place setting as well as the chair and we had to ask to have it brought back. We were half way through our meal before the first cup of tea was poured, and then only after we flagged a server down and asked if we could please have some tea!
