Low Gap Cafe

This restaurant has a great home feeling about! I can't say enough great things about the owner and staff. The food was amazing! Next time you are through Jasper it is a must to check out

Please let me give this a NO STARS!WE had heard good things about the restaurant and after hiking we needed some rest, hot food and drinks. The first night we drove by around 730 after watching elks and the lights were so dark even though they were supposed to be open so we bypassed and went to a great place Ozarks Down the street. We tried again earlier the next night and when we got out an older gentleman informed us there was and hour and twenty minute wait. I think he was expecting that to scare us off but when we said we would just have drinks until then, he retorted he was closing and wouldn't have time for us. We got the picture and got back in our cars and he stormed in the restaurant, slammed the door and turned off the open sign. What a rude experience at Low Gap cafe.

Great little hole in wall place to eat near Jasper. This is a small little place with a few tables and a big reputation. My first time there I was left wanting more.... I mean the service was great, the ambiance was great, but the food was a little lack luster. I ordered the 10oz ribeye with the Cesar salad. The salad..... the salad was brought out very quickly. Once I saw it I was like why in the heck is there an up charge of $2.50 to get this option over the regular salad. The salad wasn't bad, but I was expecting maybe a homemade dressing with a little more taste. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. The downside was that it was a tough piece of meat. Lot of chewing involved. Was hoping for a better quality meat. Veggies were cooked perfectly, the few bites of potatoes were pretty good not great. Cheese biscuits were light and flavorful. Will go back and try another option next time.

We stopped here after a day of hiking and site seeing, I have been wanting to try this place for years. While it looks pretty bad from the outside, everything is good on the inside. The menu for a place like this blew me away. I had the calamari for appetizer and was not the best, to much breading and to little calamari. However the cheese, bacon burger was excellent. The apple pie was very good. Service was excellent!

Delicious food for both a pre and post hike. Yes, we did eat at Low Gap Cafe before and after our hike. Pre-hike: Portobello Mushroom. The saffron rice was amazing! Post-hike: Pasta Primavera

We have been coming to jasper for over a decade and always stopped at the low gap for tasty food and cool ambience. We noticed on this trip that the restaurant has moved into town so we thought "great, this is more convenient". and stopped in at 6:30 on a Thursday. It was an odd ambience, with few customers and too much space for the number of people and furniture. There was no music or anything so it was just kind of an awkward silence. Our waiter greeted us and asked if we wanted water, then went in the kitchen and loudly said he was going home so we got a new waiter. weird but I guess it was a slow night..ordered spinach and artichoke dip. what came out was clearly a frozen app that came with stale and chewy crostinis that had at one point in their life been grilled but had obviously been microwaved for us. dip was greasy and grey colored. not good. next came an order of biscuits. also day old and microwaved. then came a salad. bag salad mix, bag cheese, fresh tomatoes, dressing from a bottle. not bad but not good. I didn't finish. then came our entrees. a fried catfish platter - undercooked all around, soggy fries, fish that didn't seem quite cooked through... hushpuppies raw in the middle. who can't cook fries? The coleslaw was straight up BROWN. what the heck? I got chicken parm. They broke the linguine before putting it in the pot. What chef does that? Ragu was broken, veggies were overcooked and VERY oily, and the chicken was cooked fine but the cheese was bag mozzarella that was not browned at all. no trace of parm in the chicken parm. we loved this place. sad to see it in such a state. no pics because it was not photo worthy food.

Traveling thru and stopped for lunch! Would like to give 41/2 stars or a little more but don't know how. Took off a little for atmosphere. Agree with a previous reviewer!Appears to be set for COVID still. Little dark and gloomy. That said, the food is 5 star, obviously the cook/cooks know what they are doing!! One of the things we had was the salmon salad with homemade orange dressing. Fantastic from nice balance of greens, nuts and fruits to the "perfectly " done salmon. Crispyly seared outside and barely cooked inside. Also had a great BLT, tasty smoked bacon and a good choice in bun. Again well balanced. Even the fries obviously from the freezer but well cooked and seasoned! Very pleasant and attentive staff! Well done!

We are at the old location 4 1/2 years ago. It was amazing. Nothing has changed with the new building. Service was excellent and the food was very good.

Excellent meal, great service and we loved Nick's new place. Perhaps the best frog's legs I have ever eaten

We have eaten there several times and the food & service has been excellent we look forward to eating there soon
