"We recently dined at Elijas in Jasper, our first time eating at Kirbyville. Upon arrival just before the lunch rush, our server Karen was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and attentive without being overwhelming. She truly stood out. My wife ordered the grilled catfish with okra and squash salad and absolutely loved it, cleaning her plate. Her friend enjoyed the pot of red beans and rice with fried apples, finishing all of it. I opted for the veggie plate with five delicious vegetables, although I couldn't finish it all as the portions were generous. We decided to skip dessert, but couldn't resist trying a piece of the coconut cake, which was delicious. Overall, Elijas offers good homestyle food at a very reasonable price and I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a great meal."
