I've been in Rockport about 5 years now and had never had the opportunity to visit. Today was a perfect day to adventure out. Great little hideaway place next to Walmart. Nothing fancy loved the ambiance. Immediately greeted and self select of a table. A little bit of a wait for menus and drink orders buts that's okay, Rockport is a laid back place on my opinion. I had the 2-egg (choice of scrambled) with hash browns and choice of meat-Canadian Bacon and toast, I chose an English Muffin. My husband had the grits but asked for Catfish instead of Shrimp and they obliged. Thank you Chef!! Overall I enjoyed my first experience at JJ's and will most definitely return for lunch. I overheard the chicken fried steak is a winner. read more

We have lived in Rockport for a year now and I would imagine I have frequented this establishment probably 30 times during that year. Always great service, excellent food and great prices. Guess something has changed. That all got ruined by one rude employee today. Came in this morning at 10:10 and ordered a migas breakfast plate to share. The waitress asked us if we wanted flour or corn tortilla(s)! I said can we have both please. She said I will have to charge you for the extra tortilla. I'm sure she knew I looked astounded but I said how much is a tortilla. Response: I don't know I would have to ring it up to know that... I simply said if it's more than a dollar for a tortilla I don't want it and I did say charging for a tortilla with migas is nuts as she walked off. So it's now 10:40, keep in mind no meat in the micas only onions, tomatoes and eggs. The onions were huge and raw, so 25 minutes to basically cook two scrambled eggs. There were only two other tables with customers so they were not busy at all. Never had that happen here before but just wait. Food comes and The server sets down the plate with one flour tortilla and an aluminum roll with two more corn tortillas, ok that's good. She adds, I just went ahead and brought you a couple corn tortillas at no charge. Didn't mention "paying" for them for us! We thanked her and went about splitting and eating our breakfast. About that time another server walks over, not the owner, not the owners daughter but just another server and says directly to me in a very condescending and rude tone " your server was nice enough to PAY for your extra tortillas but in the future don't expect that to happen ever again"! Wtf! She felt the need to come over and try to shame me over a freaking tortilla that was none of her business to begin with. I responded don't worry about it because I will never be back! I then asked to speak to the owners, weren't there but daughter of owner was. Explained the situation and while she was apologetic for the rude waitress she also tried to add about the economy and blah blah blah but seriously. We all know the economy sucks but charging more than $1 for a tortilla that they sell at Walmart next door for $2.99 for a 20 pack. Give me a break. So will not be returning to or promoting this breakfast/lunch spot to any more of my visiting friends, family or my community. I guess JJ's is off our list. It's a shame too. read more

Very nice place service and food was very good! Will go again next trip. Went for breakfast and was very pleased

After a weekend of fishing, we went to JJ's Cafe for a big breakfast before heading back to Austin, and we were not disappointed. We were immediately greeted and seated, and hot coffee, that was very much needed, was immediately brought to us. One of my sons had the JJ's House Omelet with hash browns and toast. The other son had Texas fried steak with two eggs, hash browns, toast, and then a short stack of pancakes. I had the two porkchops with two eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit. All of the food was deliciously prepared, very filling, and our coffee cups were never empty. As good as the food was, the service was even better! We will definitely be coming back here every time we visit Rockport! read more

This cafe did not disappoint at all. We got there and we were immediately seated since we requested outside seating. Every waitperson who attended to us was very friendly. From the young woman who took our order, to the women who brought our meals and bussed our table. The food was delicious! We went with the biscuits and gravy which had lots of flavor, corn beef hash and eggs and the pancakes with bacon, hash and eggs. Every entree we ordered was very good. Dogs are allowed in their outdoor dining area. Wish I had known this before hand. It would have been nice to have our dog with us. At any rate, my husband and I were really happy with the choice we made for our breakfast. I have no doubt you'll feel the same way if you decide to given this place a try. read more

Closed on Tuesday. Great food and great service. I can't wait to go back and eat there again.

I went to JJ's for breakfast because it had good reviews. I walked in and was seated about 5 mins later so not bad at all. However that's the last good thing I have to say. 10 mins later I got a waitress who wasn't mine come by to take my drink order and about another 5 mins later my waitress came and took my order. I didn't order anything out of the ordinary, just two eggs with cheese, hashbrowns and bacon. I saw other people who came in after me get sat and served and meanwhile I still had no food and no one came by and gave me an update or checked on me to see if I needed anything else. It had been over 30 mins and I was close to walking out and my food finally came. The hashbrowns were decent but the eggs were rubbery and way overdone. When I used my fork to grab a piece it all came up as a whole. I pushed them to the side and finally when my waitress came around to ask I told her about the eggs which she did offer to have remade but I honestly didn't want to wait another 30 mins so I declined and told her I would just eat my hashbrowns and bacon. When she brought me the bill she had taken off 20 % for the eggs which was nice but overall I left pretty disappointed. I will not be going back again nor would I recommend this place for breakfast. read more

I had such high hopes for JJ's Cafe. The Yelp photos made it look like the perfect spot for diner food. Unfortunately it was just sub-par. Hashbrows were okay - could've been crisped up a bit more. Scrambled eggs were just a clump of egg. Wait staff was nice, and helpful. Let's talk about the prices - for what we got, it's pricey. For 2 people we left with a $28 bill before the credit card fee. To-go cups are 35 cents as well. One thing I did like was that they have a dog-friendly patio. read more

Grill needs to be cleaned! Hash browns and bacon tasted rancid. Eggs were okay. Would have been perfect if grill was cleaned and waitress was friendly read more

Food & service was great ! I loved the fact that it was pet friendly . The waitress was super nice & offered to bring my pup some water. The patio would be perfect if they added some shade . Maybe get a few umbrellas or cover the entire patio with shade and some misters for the guests . Especially with this summer heat ! That would make a huge difference!!!!!! read more

Good ole fashioned diner food served up by the friendliest people! Every one was hustling and kept an awesome upbeat positive attitude. I enjoyed the very delicious patty melt with a side of sauteed squash! Totally yummy! Hubs ordered the lunch meatloaf with mashed and corn. It was only slightly less awesome as it was a bit dry and had a chunky tomato topping. None the less we ate every bite so was still great. He said next time he would just ask for brown gravy on top. Super cool that they had a salad bar open - have been missing that since COVID. They provided disposable gloves to use while serving yourself. Great touch! Even if don't order a salad, you can even add some items from the bar on your sandwich if you like. Cool! Good prices, ample menu and pretty hand painted pictures on the walls. Thanks JJ's! read more

SInce our first visit to JJ's, we've been back several times - usually for breakfast. In a town littered with 3 star experiences, JJ's breakfast is a standout for their service, the food quality and value. We've tried the eggs benedict, the BYO omlette, the shrimp and grits and #2 eggs over easy and several other dishes - and they never disappoint. We also enjoy their interior more with the nice murals they have added. Overall, JJ's is our go-to breakfast place and we will be back! read more

Fabulous down home country dining. Excellent breakfast and lunch menu combined with great service. Daily specials. One of Rockport's finest.

Excellent breakfast joint. Try the JJ's Benedict. The pepper jack cheese sauce could make old shoes taste delicious and when it's spooned over a fresh biscuit, ham, and topped with a runny egg, it's magic. Perfectly prepared white grits, too. Pro tip: their homemade hot salsa is first rate. Very clean, terrific service, frequent drive bys for coffee refills so your cup is never empty. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely a Rockport gem! Sit where you like and was immediately greeted by super nice server. First time here so I Asked her what was most popular. She suggested the JJ omelet and boy did it NOT disappoint. The eggs were folders perfectly and it was cooked all the way thru (sometimes inlets come a little runny/soft - this was PERFECT). Used sliced cheese on the top but I didn't care. Still tasted great. Service was impeccable. Always attentive and smiling. Can't wait to come back on a regular basis read more

Well to begin with I understand a small town hosts events in which you have numerous people from different locations attend and people are looking for eateries that are local instead of franchises but it didn't seem that they were prepared for it which made wait time for breakfast about an hour in a half. Almost decided to drive to Corpus Christ just for breakfast but instead found a different location that served breakfast. read more

What else can one say about this place. The food, service is always outstanding. We go every Sunday for breakfast.

Literally one of the best breakfasts I've had ever, and I'm almost 40. The service was amazing. Rebecca was our server and apparently also made the delicious salsa we ate with our food!!! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. read more

In Rockport for an anniversary getaway. Since moving to Texas from the Midwest, we miss the home style breakfasts. This gem did not disappoint!!! French toast was so delicious and the crispy hash browns were fantastic. Hubby tried shrimp & grits, he absolutely loved them. As they say in "My cousin Vinny" no self respecting southern eats instant grits. The service was great!!! read more

This is a great little cafe that has awesome breakfast and lunch menu items. I typically get their breakfast omelette called JJ's Omelette with a side of their homemade cheese sauce (can't go wrong with this combo). The wife gets their French feast. Overall great start to the day and the waitress staff keeps the coffee mug filled. Go early unless you want to wait in line. They also have outdoor seating, if you want to bring your furry friends. read more

As a party of six we had to wait about 30 minutes which was acceptable. The place was packed and it was obviously locals grubbing down on delicious looking meals. Once seated the waitress was fantastic. She was quick with drinks, brought extra hot water for our hot teas and kept the coffee cups full. She was precise with the order and it came out in good time. The food was fresh, cooked to order and sooooo delicious. The Philly Cheesesteak Omelette was the best !!! Prices are reasonable and the food was well worth it! We hope to return before our vacation ends! read more

Excellent service, and even better food! We were wanting a good hearty breakfast before heading back home on a long drive and JJ's hit the spot. Philly cheesesteak omelet (with crispy hashbrowns cooked to perfection) Shrimp and grits (with side of biscuits & sausage gravy) Chocolate chip pancakes (fluffy and delish!) & a side of bacon YUM!! We will definitely be back! read more

JJ's Cafe original location got hammered during Harvey so they closed for a long time. They reappeared a few months ago and although the location is different, the quality of their food never left. It's still tasty good! They're now in a strip center just off 35S in Rockport. Their menu looks a little different from what I remember a few years ago. My brother-in-law and his wife who live in Rockport told us that JJ's Cafe is one of the few places that re-opened after Harvey that serves a decent breakfast. So, it's always crowded with people lined up along the wall just to get in for Sunday brunch or even a weekday breakfast. Imagine our surprise when we walked in and got a table for 4 immediately. That does not happen - according to our Rockport locals. It's in between season - the winter Texans are not there yet! Anyway, the food was delicious and we consider ourselves lucky to get in quickly and enjoy brunch. We were hungry from a missed meal the day before! So, if you're in Rockport/Fulton area, check out JJ's Cafe. They serve a mean brunch out there. read more
