I was staying at the motel next door and Elijah’s was recommended to me to try, and I am so glad I followed up on that recommendation. The food was excellent it’s been a long time since I had such an amazing chicken fried steak. I had green beans, and black eyed peas as my sides. I also tried the fried pickles and they were delicious! Reminded me of my favorite catfish restaurant back home. I’ll be in Jasper for the next few weekends and I’ll definitely be back to try something new!

The food is hands down amazing. I am not one for bad reviews, but this is the second time that we have had an absolute terrible experience. The first time we went we had a young blonde waitress and we did not get silverware or a menu within the first hour of being there and then we did not get refills for most of the night we were a group of 5 on a very slow night and were nice to staff but every time we needed anything we would have to hunt staff down sometime she was not even out for more than thirty minutes at a time and when she came back would still not have silverware or menus we were probably there 2 and a half hours she gave our table to someone else who did great compared to what we had that day. Today we had an older Hispanic waitress who was amazing we complemented her the whole time and were very thankful and right after are food came out she left, it was over an hour before anyone else checked on us and when a waiter asked if we needed a ticket we said yes and never got one we were here about three hours today and there’s no excuse for this if you go use the drive through because their waiting staff doesn’t know there heads from their rears. Congratulations you both lost yourself good tippers.

Previously I had had excellent experiences at Elijah’s. Maybe tonight was just a bad night. Three of the seven seven people served at our table had terrible food. The steak was terrible quality, one over cooked and one under cooked, pork chops were overcooked, baked potatoes and steamed carrots were practically raw. Everyone else’s food was pretty good. Service was terrible. Very slow and took about 25 minutes to be seated because we were a party greater than six. I never received one of my sides and refills were hard to come by. Server did state that they were out of cornbread but did not offer the typical rolls either. 2025 Update: Restaurant was about 40-50% filled. Took 45 minutes for salads to come out. They were out of fried pickles and baked potatoes. Food started showing up at 52 minutes. Last food came out at 66 minites. First round of refills at 67 minutes. Medium rare steaks were cooked well done. Pork chops very thin and overcooked. We asked a few times for bread; nothing. I have always loved this place but they bombed tonight.

Do not order online. They do not have all of the updates in. At least that is what I was told. Lame to me. No option to put gravy/sauces on side. So take out is soggy. If you do not mind driving. I highly recommend the Woodville location. Better atmosphere. Servers have warmer, friendlier personalities. Oh yeah and ordering through the app or drive-thru apparently you do not get bread, even though you are paying the same price as dining in. I’m saving myself the hassle and go to Cedar Tree. They have a lot of the same items anyway and some, not all, are cheaper. Same portions. If I feel the need for Elijah’s, I’ve no problem driving to Woodville.

Yesterday our family was there for lunch at 11am. I ordered a patty melt as well as my husband ,I substituted my fries for onion rings extra1.00 ok no problem. My granddaughter ordered a burger and ask for a baked potato instead of fries. The waitress never bothered to say no sub on burger brings out potato and never says anything assumption I thought that maybe a couple extra for potato. Then as she brought the check I told her that she ordered a potato instead of fries and then she said oh no we don’t do that. 7.99 for a very small plain potato. Ok I go to said manager and she refuses to take the potato off saying that she will not refund or change it completely rude. So I paid and told her she lost a customer she was not in the least concerned that she was rude or losing a customer. Y’all should teach your employees the RULES of your business if your never gonna be there . Anyway she cost a faithful customer of many years to her rudeness and inadequate behavior.

Nice looking restaurant. Friendly staff. I had a chicken, bacon, and cheese sandwich. A pounded flat chicken breast, no seasoning, two small pieces of bacon with one slice of bacon an inch long. I hope I didn’t bankrupt them with all that bacon. I may try them again with different meal just to see difference. Not bad, but not any flavor.

Ordered the large grilled chicken ceasar salad, I wold call it a medium sized salad, just served on a dinner plate. The chicken was pretty good, not dryed out, the lettuce seemed old and pretty wilted, a few dark green ( should have thrown in the trash) pieces, also lettuce was warm. I have eaten her several times when working in the area, is what it is. The waitstaff is great, attentive and friendly.

The chicken fried steak was GREAT! Gravy was an A+ and I reccomend the fried okra along side the whole kernel corn! All for a price of 12.99!?! Can’t beat that hardly anywhere anymore! Waitress was tentative and very kind! We will be returning customers!

The food was delicious but our service was awful. We had Chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, kids baskets, burgers, 3 different kinds of dessert. The mashed potatoes were served cold but good. Cleared our own table of excess dishes. Waitress dropped plate of juicy green beans on my son and didnt bring back napkins or apologize. No refills, and lack of concern for our table. We will return, but hope for better service in the future.

Whenever I am in the are I always like to eat at Elijahs. The food is great. My favorite is the chicken and dumplings. But order confidently bc it will all taste like it came out of a southern grandma’s kitchen.
