1st time here on NYE, so I will have to try again when it isn’t a holiday. The service was good, very friendly wait staff. The drinks are rather small, but have free refills. The wait for the food was a bit long and the dishes came out 1 at a time with maybe 5 to 7 mins before the next plate came out. Definitely be prepared to wait here, don’t come if you’re on a timed lunch break. The food was very good, especially the mac and cheese . The smothered chicken was tender and flavorful. The meatloaf was juicy. Catfish and shrimp were fried nicely, not too crunchy. Will definitely have to go back and try the oxtails which are only available Fri – Sun.

J’s Eatery was amazing. I had the best greens of my life, the best sauteed spinach of my life (how did she even do that?!), mac and cheese that was up there with the best… My husband had the smoked meatloaf, which he loved, and some fantastic banana pudding. He joked that he wasn’t going to share with me and so the owner brought me my own little cookie. Thanks, J! Wonderful place. She’s adding all day breakfast and other new dishes soon. This is one to watch; I only wish it was closer to where we live!

The visit here was an experience. We love the honesty of Mrs. Judy. My fiance wanted oxtails and they were not tender at that time. She personally came out to talk to us to let us know. By the time we finished talking they were good to go. I don’t eat oxtail but I tasted his and OMG. DELICIOUS. The food was so good and a lot of it. The desserts were delicious as well. This is our new go to spot. If you haven’t tried it out, you should!!!!

Y’all do NOT sleep on this place. It was absolutely phenomenal. I wish I would have gotten the before picture of our plates, but I did include pictures of the after. The first is our plates which as you can see were cleared. The second is of the desserts we had to order ( say YES to the lemon pound cake). We go to SA all the time but had never been here before and wish we had because we have been missing out. The service was so kind. They sat and talked with us for a while. Food was hot and served quickly. I had the chicken fried steak, and my husband had the smoked meatloaf. We also had a sample of the ox tail and I’d order that as a meal next time it was really good. Corn bread was incredible. Check this place out!

I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant, and it turned out to be amazing! The food was delicious, the prices were super reasonable, and the atmosphere was really nice. Honestly, this is some of the best soul food I’ve had in San Antonio. I’m surprised they don’t have more publicity because they’re definitely better than most of the other soul food spots in the city. It’s rare to find quality soul food like this — they just need better marketing. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Review for J’s Eatery – New Braunfels, TX
If you’re looking for good old-fashioned comfort food made with love, J’s Eatery is the place to be! The food was absolutely delicious — every bite tasted homemade and full of flavor. The atmosphere was calm, pleasant, and relaxing, perfect for unwinding and enjoying your meal.
Mrs. Judy and Mr. Bryant were such a joy to talk to! They’re polite, kind, and friendly — and without a doubt, the best cooks in town . You can feel the heart they put into every dish.
Oh, and here’s a little bonus — their holiday menu will be coming out soon! I can’t wait to see what they have in store.

This was my first time here, and let me just say… I was completely blown away!!! I had the Shrimp and Grits and they were so buttery and creamy, an explosion of great flavor in my mouth, and my partner had the meatloaf and I got to taste that as well with the Mac and cheese, rice and beans & corn bread and we couldn’t stop expressing how good it was every time we went in for a bite ❤️❤️❤️ The soul food was out of this world! Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition. It was rich, flavorful, and so comforting, like a warm hug from the inside out. I was so excited to eat that I didn’t even think to take a picture before I devoured everything on my plate — and I have zero regrets! The staff made the experience even better. They were beyond friendly — so welcoming, warm, and attentive. You could tell they truly care about their food and their guests. It felt like I was eating at a family member’s house, not just a restaurant. This place has officially earned a spot in my heart. I’ll definitely be back!

I just had the best chicken fried steak I have ever eaten! That is a big deal since my father came from the south and I had never had any as good as his. Well, now I have!
The spicy shrimp and grits and sweet potato pie were also great. Definitely go here.

We came upon this place, and I am so lucky we did. You walk in and you see mini lights hanging from the ceiling. We were approached by the owner Bryan, and he welcomed us as if we were entering his home. According to Bryan, “ This is not soul food , bc everyone has their own soul, this is home cooking.” The food was absolutely AMAZING!! We ordered the smoked meatloaf it was over the top! Nothing I have ever tasted before. We ordered the smothered chicken, red bean and rice, macaroni, garlic mashed potato, sauté spinach, Al La cart fried catfish. And corn bread. Every bite we took we shook our head. This our place to go for home cooking. Food is to die for!!!!

J’s Eatery just set the bar high for my first visit! I ordered shrimp and grits, garlic mashed potatoes, cornbread, and meatloaf, and let me tell you—EVERY BITE WAS PURE COMFORT & FLAVOR!!!
The shrimp and grits were absolutely perfect—creamy, well-seasoned, and so satisfying that after just five bites, I was ready for a nap. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth, buttery, and packed with just the right amount of garlic to make them irresistible.
Then came the cornbread—moist, slightly sweet, and baked to golden perfection. It tasted like something straight out of a home-cooked Sunday dinner. And the meatloaf? Tender, flavorful, and covered in a sauce that tied everything together beautifully.
For my first time ordering from J’s Eatery, they made a lasting impression. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the flavors spoke for themselves. This definitely won’t be my last visit! .
