Jacquie’s Cafe

Our office made reservations for a breakfast meeting this morning. Upon arrival, she seemed to have lost our reservation, but as it was 8am, no one else was there so it wasn’t a big deal. The décor is a bit sparse and old but the food certainly wasn’t! Everything was fresh, huge portions. I had the breakfast burrito with potatoes and fruit, delicious. My coworkers all enjoyed their various dishes. Pricing was reasonable for large plates. The case of desserts looked fabulous, sadly boss man wouldn’t let me order cake for breakfast… boo. My only issue was the wait time. It took 30 minutes from ordering to actually get our food. We weren’t in a hurry, but if you are, I wouldn’t suggest stopping by.

It is a great spot to meet a friend for lunch and in the summer they have an outdoor patio with umbrella tables. They bring water to your table without having to ask which is a nice touch. The roast beef sandwich is AMAZING. It has just the right amount of horseradish flavor. I was actually sad when my meal was over because I was enjoying it so much. The soups are different and not just the same old you find at most places. The staff were very attentive and all seemed to help one another out. Make sure you check out the specials board too.

Had lunch and was underwhelmed by the experience and facility. First off, the cleanliness of the establishment left much to be disired and a main driver for my low rating. I couldn’t handle the amount of debris on the floor and in the grout. I ordered the burger of the day and it was a large patty, but was dry and somewhat bland. Needless to say I won’t be returning.

A couple of weeks ago a co-​worker suggested that we stop in for lunch. I’m always a fan of the local places over a chain, so I was happy to try it. The food was delicious — I did a salad with a scoop each of tuna salad, egg salad and chicken salad. Everything was outstanding — and I quickly understood why their chicken salad is their signature dish. The menu shows locally sourced ingredients — think Goose — for many of their dishes, which just makes me love ‘em that much more.
Once I find a place I like, I usually go back again and again. That wasn’t the case with Jacquie’s. While I loved the food, I felt the service was a little slow and I was somewhat apprehensive about going back for lunch while I was working. Today I went back though, and I wish I wouldn’t have. Again, the food was delicious. I had a wonderful veggie patty with a cup of fresh fruit that was outstanding. The problem. I waited almost 30 minutes from the time I ordered to actually get it. It was totally worth it, but again, for someone with a short amount of time for lunch, you’ll want to prepare for an extended wait for your food.

The biscuits and gravy was freshly made, and was very different. The gravy was buttery and peppery-​red peppery! My daughter added 2 scrambled eggs over the two biscuits. The plate was full and piping hot. The biscuits were moist but still stood up to the gravy. I got the chicken salad on sourdough. While the bread was fresh, the sour in the sourdough did not stand out enough to me. The bread was dense and had a nice flavor, but it was not the best I’ve had. The kettle cooked chips were a nice a addition to the plate. The chicken salad sandwich came with greens, but I removed them as I didn’t like all the different textures, and made the sandwich too high. We will definitely be back, though!

I eat here at least once a week for lunch. They have great soups. I get the soup and salad combo with the chopped salad. the dressing is very good and the salad has plenty of chicken. A great local place to go for breakfast and lunch.

Often times overlooked — this is a great get away! The oatmeal is fantastic, the bakery items are delicious and the coffee is always warm. Very reasonably priced and quick service. Hard to go wrong with breakfast here!

This place is very low-​key and unassuming. I’ve never heard anyone mention it, but it’s awesome. Great burgers and sandwiches, fries, and coffee.

My wife and I went in about a week ago to have some breakfast after a Saturday morning run. The café is small and intimate with paintings for sale. Everyone was helpful and the food was good.
I had the biscuits and gravy and my wife had the breakfast burrito, both which was tasty. I ordered two over medium eggs on top of the biscuits and gravy which made me super happy.
We’ll be back, it was a nice place to enjoy breakfast!

Overall: Good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Jacquie’s is good stuff!
The good: Good food with different specials daily. The quiche is made daily, the coffee is good, and the portion sizes are decent. Service was friendly and attentive.
The bad: Décor was kind of bland and the menu was smaller than I would’ve liked for breakfast.

I love egg salad, which can be difficult to find, so was happy to see it on the menu. I mentioned how I would like to stay away from carbs at this time (dieting) and the server immediately suggested some greens as a side substitute. The Champagne Vinegar dressing that came with the green salad was excellent. They also make another dressing (of which I can’t remember right now) which also sounds yummy … next time. I found the service to be exceptional. I look forward to some of the items mentioned in the other reviews.

I went to Jacquie’s twice last week for breakfast and very much enjoyed the biscuits and sausage gravy both times. The biscuits are large and fluffy/​flakey and were perfect to soak up the extra meaty with just the right balance of seasonings. The huge portion is enough for two people so bring a friend or plan on a doggie bag. Probably one of the top 3 places in Indy for biscuits and gravy.

A breakfast/​lunch place just right — small dining room, fresh delicious food, friendly staff.
Kale, chicken and roasted vegetable soup was a festival of fall flavor. The tricky kale was cooked just right — not wilted, but soft enough while maintaining its fun green curliness. The Fall Apple Salad — a mix of spanking fresh greens, Granny Smith apple slices topped with crispy bacon, lots of candied pecans and cheese crumbles. Solid strong coffee. My one suggestion: get a free WiFi and the place will be perfect.

I love this place! The egg sandwich w sausage is awesome. Small, local and delicious.

Love the food and the service. Jamie and Sarah are wonderful servers! The food is outstanding for breakfast or lunch. The restaurant location is a strip mall. That said, the parking is very accessible.

Jacquie’s recently catered our wedding, and we ultimately came out of the experience with negative to mixed feelings.
The Downside: Communication was minimal to none and we were often prompting the caterer or reminding her of our previously made decisions only to wait weeks for a response; Not so much in the loop on local fare… The caterer must have thought Sun King was a beer name and not a brewery, because we got two random beers from SK instead of what we specifically requested (at a rather pricey add-​on)
The Upside: Food was tasty; Staff was friendly (someone even ran out to get the beer we wanted after learning about the mix-​up); Price seemed decent overall; and Flexibility with our requests/​changes mostly went well.
Bottom line, we wanted to feel like our caterer was on top of things (especially for an overwhelming event like a wedding), and we often got the feeling that she had her head in the clouds. In the end, we were happy with our event, but not with the overall experience.

Cute café, where they also sold paintings.
I was interested in trying the croissant French toasts — yes they were actually croissants made into French toasts topped with pecans and a little powder sugar. I asked for lots of powder sugar but I got only a little more. The dish came with a cup of various fruits — mostly pineapple and blueberries. Water came in a decanter.
I think the waitress needed to be more knowledgeable about their items. The menu listing under «hot breakfast» was confusing about the eggs.
They have a frequent eaters card so after 7 entrée purchases of $ 8, you get a free entrée.

Ate here this week after hearing my parents rave about the place. Ordered the chicken pot pie as it was the special. I actually spit it out of my mouth it was so bad! The chicken did not taste good and there were Zero Vegetables in the dish. Probably won’t go back.

We had breakfast here this morning. The menu is small, I believe they are changing it soon. The coffee is self serve and you had three choices. I ordered an egg sandwich with fruit. It was good. We stopped by at 9:30 and the place was empty. I probably won’t return for breakfast until they change the menu. I’ve been for lunch and the food was good.

I ate here on the recommendation of one my coworkers (a fabulously talented chef and caterer) so I had pretty high expectations. I have since eaten here two more times… yes it’s that good… but this review will be based on my first visit.
There were three in our party. I ordered the Smoked Turkey, Brie and Apple sandwich with a side of fruit. The zesty lemon aioli was fabulous and worked great with the brie and apple combination. I appreciated the choices Jacque’s offers on bread varieties: I had sourdough and would order it again! The side of fruit was substantial and delicious.
Another in the party had the Gourmet Grilled Cheese and ate it up quickly. For a picky person, she was quite pleased. You can customize it basically anyway you want: 2 cheeses and a meat, 3 cheeses, 1 cheese and 1 meat and ‘ vegetable… very creative.
The last member of our party had the BLT on white. She wasn’t blown away, but she commented that the avocado was a nice addition and that the mozzarella was high quality. Then again, I personally wouldn’t order a BLT and expect to be blown away… not exactly complicated food.
I’d give this place 5 stars in a heartbeat but their service… can be all over the place. We’ve had orders not made, forgetful servers, and drinks not refilled. My suggestion would be for them to add more servers at peak hours.
Great food.
