J. Lights Market Cafe - Durham

The Salmon BLT is IT!If you're looking for a flavorful lunch bite, order it and thank me later : The atmosphere is simple, very chill, and the staff was friendly upon arrival. They offer a good, but not over bearing menu which is great. Your food is made to order, so it's always fresh. The prices are decent for the quality and time spent preparing the food, and the seasoning is on point!There is ample free parking and various indoor/outdoor seating nearby. Plus their neighbors to Crumbl Cookie. Like c'mon, easily a must go lolTry it out and enjoy friends!

Follow us on Instagram at Raleighfoodtrap!Now let's get into this review!! Someone new to the Raleigh area and a staple in Durham is J lights. This local on the establishment features some of the areas most creative breakfast dishes. We stopped by on several occasions to indulge in the brunch and breakfast menu. One of my favorite dishes is the peaches and cream waffles. It's a must try. It's so good you'll want one for the road to go. Conveniently located in Raleighs new smoky hollow, there's Great parking and amazing vibes!

I am very disappointed in my experience at J Lights tonight. We are from out of town and came here with our daughter and her husband and grandson that live here. The mandatory 18% service charge should not have been charged because of the rudeness of the girl taking the order and the amount of time it took to get our food.We waited over 45 minutes to receive our 2 orders. The first order was a cheeseburger , wings and a Negroni. they didn’t even know what was used to make the Negroni) the 2nd order was a sandwich, cheeseburger, and kids burger. We were the only people that ordered food and the only people in or out were f the restaurant and it should not have taken 45 minutes. There was no apology just rude comments “ not our fault” when we questioned where our food was.Food was okay when we finally got it but overall a disappointing meal

Excellent location and interesting and eclectic menu! We had craft beers at Highwire and got dinner, and sat out enjoying the beautiful night lights. It's a wonderful restaurant and I'm definitely going back. quite a few vegetarian options as well.

We love this place!! The sweet potato sandwich is bomb and I’m not a vegetarian or anything but will definitely find myself craving it. Great staff and good drink selections. I just wish they had a location in Lakewood!!
