I have passed by this business on more than one occasion. So today I decided to stop and grab something to eat! I purchased the Philly Cheese Egg Rolls, they were ok. I would probably try something else on my next visit!. It was quiet and plenty of seating and that's probably because of the time and day of my visit. I'm sure it gets a lot busier in the evenings and weekends!. I would definitely recommend and return to this establishment!.

We went on a calm, cool and collected day. The atmosphere was great. Very calming and demure. The…read moreone issue I had here is they were servicing a party in the back of the restaurant and made it very chaotic to receive service in the general areas of the restaurant. Service took forever to get. We waited over an hour just to receive drinks and an appetizer. I'm not saying this happened daily because this was my first time, but honestly just because you're having a private event in back there still should've been enough staff to service your regular customers or just shut the place down to cater unto them only. We ordered teriyaki chicken wings as our appetizer and they were okay. Nothing to call home about!!!! I ordered the shrimp and grits. The cajun sauce was alright. Again, nothing to call home about! The location is off of Airlines blvd making it convenient to my family being that we live within 10 minutes of it. Yes we could've left any time, but wanted to check the food out here. I'm a very patient person, but some places just don't know how to accommodate their customers accordingly. It's really not hard to do! Most definitely try it out for yourself. It's a one and done for us!

She gave us one of the best experiences at a restaurant in a really long time. Food was amazing, we had the brisket sandwhich which hushpuppies and green beans. Absolutely no complaints about the food. Riley also recommended the Jamaican lizard, which was the perfect touch to our dinner and so delicious. Truly recommend if you are looking for a place with good food and drinks

The party was for about 50 people most over 30 years old. I love the spacious dance floor and the sound system. They played a great mixture of music that coveted all the age groups, including the must have lube dancing music. The DJ made sure we enjoyed ourselves and led a toast fir out birthday girl. The owner welcomed us, and the entire staff was very friendly. The food was good, most people in our party had wings. The adult beverages were yummy and substantial, so everyone was happy. The seating is comfortable, and the venue decor was thoughtfully done. The food service was good and the owner checked on our party several times during our event.. Hubby and I are going back next weekend to dance and dine. Enjoyable location for 30 plus crowd.

It is Friday during Lent. With that being said, today is a great day to check out Sweet Jam Cafe…read moreand sample their shrimp/fish and grits. I've been to Sweet Jam a time or three and each time was just as perfect as the first time. After several visits, I would have to say that my two favorite dishes are their Chicken and Waffles and their ridiculously creamy and delicious Shrimp and Grits. Today is the 2'nd Friday during Lent, so for me that means no red meat. With that being said, if you are looking for a dangerously delicious red meat free dish I would recommend Sweet Jam Cafe's Shrimp and Grits. Let's start with the Chicken and Waffles- the chicken and waffles is a plate of one waffle that is cut into quarters and plated with three full size wings. The waffle is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I think their might be a hint of vanilla in the batter and I love it. The chicken, oh my gosh, sooooooo good. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. If they sold just that flavorful chicken skin, I would buy a whole bucket of it. So good. The Shrimp and Grits are...... All I can say about the Shrimp and Grits is to go to Sweet Jam and order a bowl. It is so creamy, the grits are cooked perfectly and the shrimp.... Oh the shrimp. Do your mouth a favor and try this dish. You will not be disappointed.

WHERE THE VIBES AT?!…read more My girlfriend and I just moved to the Norfolk area and were looking for a place to eat lunch at. After looking through a few menus we decided to dine at Sweet Jame Cafe. 11/10 would definitely recommend this Black-owned, local business. She orders shrimp, fried scallops, yams, mac and cheese, and cornbread I ordered the chicken and french toast with strawberries + whipped cream When I say DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was cooked to perfection and took no time for them to bring the food out. Plus, we found out they serve an all-you-can-eat buffet on Sundays for $20.00 per person. This family-owned business cooks with a lot of love + their customer service and attentiveness is top-tier. If you're ever in the area, give this place a try I promise you will not be disappointed. Also, if you're a sweet tea lover like me I'm here to tell you, IT'S LIKE THAT!!!! Thank you, Sweet Jam Cafe, for the amazing experience and great food. Will be back VERY soon!

The chicken salad options were unique. The side options were cozy and comforting. The jalepeno pimento chicken salad did not disappoint, the loaded potato soup was so delicious, and the pickle and cookie included were the best treat. The staff were so friendly and welcoming.

They offer a wonderful variety of healthy options for lunch but their hours are 10:30 to 8pm, so I suppose you could have dinner there as well. Everything we have tried is always fresh and delicious. The jalapeño chicken salad is a favorite and I highly recommend trying it, if you enjoy a little spicy flavor!
