Pemberley's At The Jones House: Exquisite Dining in Nacogdoches

Nestled within one of Nacogdoches’s most charming historic homes, Pemberley’s At The Jones House offers an exquisite dining experience that seamlessly blends warm Southern hospitality with elevated culinary delights. This lovingly restored 1879 Queen Anne-style residence sets the stage for a meal that is as much about ambiance as it is about the food. From the moment you step inside, the intricate woodwork and period décor envelope you in a genteel, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the thoughtful menu.

At Pemberley’s, the cuisine artfully embraces classic American comfort with a refined twist, spotlighting fresh, quality ingredients and homestyle flavors. Among the standout lunch offerings, the Quiche Lorraine captivates with its flaky savory crust, generously filled with diced bacon, sharp cheddar, and tender baby spinach—each bite is a symphony of rich, smoky, and earthy notes, beautifully balanced by a side of fresh fruit and a warm muffin. Another beloved choice is the Pemberley’s Chicken Salad Plate, featuring all-white meat shredded chicken blended with finely diced celery and just the right amount of creamy mayonnaise, served alongside a pineapple gelatin mold that adds a subtle tropical sweetness to the plate.

For those seeking lighter fare, the Seafood Cobb Salad delights with crisp romaine and an array of fresh seafood, while the ever-changing Soup Du Jour promises a comforting cup or bowl of the week’s homemade specialty—perfect for an intimate lunch or to warm your soul on a cooler day.

End your meal on a sweet note with the chef’s rotating selection of Desserts of the Week, each thoughtfully crafted to elevate your dining experience and provide a comforting, indulgent finale.

We had such a wonderful lunch here!!! The ambiance, decor, and food were sublime! There was only 1 waitstaff; this was not fair because she could not keep up with the demands of the noon hour. She was sweet, however, and our experience was still absolutely wonderful!! This is now one of my favorite places to eat in Nacogdoches!!!!

The food was delicious and the house was beautiful!! I highly recommend stopping by for something to eat or staying in one of the rooms. While I’ve never stayed there myself I heard that they have rooms upstairs where guests can stay.

I always love coming to Pemberley's! I'm always greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff there truly go above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest. They're also so knowledgeable on the quality of their service and they deserve all their flowers and recognition as the best place to eat in Nac if you're ever looking for something new, you won't regret it!

In our search for a unique restaurant in the East Texas area, we decided to go to Nacogdoches and try one that we had selected. However, that one didn't open till late, so we found Pemberley"s at the Jones House. Pemberley's is a bed & breakfast in a restored 1879 house with Queen Anne style detailing throughout. My wife had the Chicken Mushroom Crepes, and I had the Quiche Lorraine with a pot of Blueberry Herbal Tea. They are only open from 11 am - 2 pm on Tuesday - Friday. If you're in Nacogdoches around lunchtime and want a good meal, then this is one you need to try.

Pemberley’s Review A true test of a restaurant for me is after your visit and experience you are immediately planning a return visit. And so it was with this exquisite dining establishment. The culinary creations from the kitchen were at a level to declare some of the most enjoyable food from any restaurant in Nacogdoches. The ambiance is lovely and so different from restaurants here in Nacogdoches. The background music, white linen table settings along with cloth napkins had me feeling as if I was back at Commander’s in New Orleans. The service provided by Jasmine and Dillon was attentive but not intrusive. They both were so professional and helpful for our first visit. Had to share this first dining experience at Pamberley’s with my wife Bethany. She is as pleased as I am with this unique place. Now on to the food selections. The Shrimp Rémoulade was devine. Beautiful devein farm raise shrimp served with lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, eggs, and black olives along with a most delicious rémoulade sauce. Bethany totally enjoyed the Chicken Mushroom Crepes. I tasted her selection and it was delicious as everything we ordered. The creamy béchamel sauce made this dish a winner. We both were also delighted with a cup of their Creamy Chicken Soup. The mirepoix with plenty of chicken, butter, and cream. A bowl would have been better to order and enjoy. We gave in for the Chocolate Cake dessert. Decadent and so good with their coffee. Pemberley’s has no liquor license but was informed we may bring in our bottle of wine to compliment the tasty food. Corkage fee of $5.00 per person is very reasonable. The only problem for me to report with this establishment is that it is operational only Tuesday thru Friday from 11:00am to 2:00pm. And there is High Tea served on Thursday late afternoon. A most enjoyable dining experience for us in our new home here in Nacogdoches. This first of many visits had my taste buds doing the Jitterbug. Pemberley’s would be a very successful restaurant in New Orleans.

Beautiful Victorian house, presently a B'n'B, lunch room, and tea room. We had tea and it was terrific. The finger sandwiches were excellent. 3 teas to drink- we could ask for a different tea each refill. The scones were the best I've ever eaten. We were so stuffed we brought the desserts home and we are about to dig in. The service was excellent. Gorgeous woodwork and decor, including fabulous floral displays.
