About this business
This cafe offers such a casual dining experience you will be amazed at the incredible food that comes from this kitchen. Located in the Heights, it has its own parking lot in back for those busy weekday lunches. The line will probably be long, but it moves pretty quickly and it is definitely worth the wait. The menu is diverse. Vegetarians will enjoy the monstrous Caesar Salad, while Tex-Mex lovers will prefer the sizzling fajitas straight from the grill. The daily specials are always a good deal and popular.

Zydeco and Cajun food in an open-air setting. – The Scene The restaurant is fairly spacious, with a huge outdoor patio and an expansive indoor section with a dance floor. Cajun food is the specialty of the house. Aside from serving food and spirits, Jax doubles as one of the city's top zydeco haunts. A rotating lineup of local acts (Wilfred Chevis, Step Rideau) and regional stars (Roy Carrier) provides the tunes. The dance floor is usually energetic, with folks young and old strutting their stuff. The Food You can't go wrong... read more
Really good food (carb-conscious dieter friendly, to boot!) – This is the best place to go if no one knows exactly what they want to eat. Very diverse menu. Haven't come close to trying everything, but what I've had (salads, burgers, grilled chicken/vegs, pecan-crusted salmon patties and their gumbo [mmm!]) have been VERY good. My absolute favorite, however, is their bruchetta shrimp. It's their version of what most restaurants call Shrimp Diablo. Instead of just bacon/jalapeno wrapped shrimp, they have an oyster in theirs, ... read more
Passably Good Food Amid Total Bedlam – If you are coming here for a business lunch, or dinner with friends, forget it. Not only is this place noisy, but the staff shouts food order numbers over the PA system at the top of their lungs. One staff lady screamed so loud into the microphone, we had to stop talking and wince every few seconds while the echoes died down. However, if you plan to eat alone or with mute friends, this is a good place to be. I always get the fried catfish, although they put more cornmeal on it than your... read more
Great Place – I've actually never tried the hamburgers here, but everyone that I've been with says they're great. Their crispy fried chicken salads are the best. Also try the fried catfish and they always have very good daily specials. Food is great, service is great and at a very easy, going atmosphere. Even though they're really busy at lunch, we never have to wait long for the food. Try it out, you'll sure to come back to Jax.
Tite c'est bon cher'! – Maybe the folks running this place aren't Cajun or Creole, because with the exception of the fried shrimp basket, there are not Cajun or Creole food items here. Good food though, but that's not what'll bring me back. Met my true love there and had a great time. Was like a taste of home (Broussard,LA) dancing and visiting with just good old fashioned home folk. Adults, seniors, kids and babies,...definitely reminded me of dem fais do do and festivals I grew up attending down in Acadiana. Will definitel... read more
Love it!! – I eat here at least once a month for lunch and everything that I have had there is excellent. Come early because the place gets crowded after Noon. The burgers are the best and the salads are huge. Great value for your money.
burgers & fajitas – I don't know what it is about this place, but they have some of the best burgers and fajitas in town. They're the best! And if you're in the mood for lighter fare, the salads are pretty killer too.
Large Portions, Great Food & Prices – When I think of Jax Grill, I think of nice open-aired restaurant with that services great food that's reasonably priced. Their portions are huge as well! If you ordered a chicken caesar salad, be prepared to eat an bowl of what resembles an entire head of lettuce and chicken with dressing. And it's under $6. There really isn't service where someone comes over to take your order. It's a walk-up and order type of place (almost like a cafeteria) unless you sit at the bar. On Fridays & Satur... read more
Great Mesquite Grill & Zydeco – A great family environment with mesquite grilled food and Zydeco music (on weekends.) Great music with singles, couples, and families all enjoying themselves.
