It's Just Lunch Reviews

Amber chose a really nice date for me. I met her for lunch because It’s Just Lunch but, to my pleasant surprise, we ended up spending the evening together at a cafe and had an interesting, wide-ranging conversation. I’m glad and thankful to have Amber as my date-finding person!

It’s Just Lunch has been an easy service to work with and it’s true, you get top notch service. The dates are pleasant and work well with your schedule. Since I’ve just joined and the experience is still new, I already feel they know me well enough to know what I am looking for in a partner.

I spent a significant amount of money with It’s Just Lunch and unfortunately had a VERY disappointing experience. Given the cost of this service, my expectations for communication and follow-through were very reasonable. When I signed up, the salesperson told me I would receive six dates within six months. After signing the contract, I learned the company actually gives themselves up to one year to provide those six matches.

My experience so far and been very professional and great communication with the entire staff. I would highly recommend others looking for their partner. IJL is a great idea and very little pressure on either party.

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been wonderful. The very first date they matched me with has been a huge success, and we are moving toward a positive, longer-term relationship. I am just getting back into the dating world after being widowed some years ago, and IJL has made it easy for me to connect with someone with whom I have so much in common, is easy to talk with! Thank you!

Kylie B is a delightful matchmaker with IJL. She is very accessible and responsive to my emails or calls. This day and time it’s difficult in many cases to find a business person who is vested in trying to solve problems, be helpful, positive, and very pleasant …Kylie is all of those and more. IJL should be delighted that she is an employee and a valuable part of their team! Well Done!!!

So far it’s been disappointing and frustrating. I’ve been on two totally mismatched dates that were several years beyond my specifications. There’s lots of hype “we’ve got a great guy for you” but ends up we have very little in common and they’re too old! I’m not a “dater” and this process is difficult for me hence the reason for signing up. I have a fairly busy schedule so lunch on days I’m seeing patients does not work and I live 30 to 45 minutes south of Houston. I’m required to travel into Houston for dates when there are great restaurants closer to where I live. Furthermore, I’m under the impression he gets to see a photo of me but don’t get to see who I’m being matched with. I paid a lot for my membership too so why don’t I get to see a photo? I feel like back in college going on a blind date! I’m going to give this one more date and if this is the same mismatched runaround I seriously will request a refund of some kind.

The team worked hard and diligently with kindness and thoughtfulness to detail. I’m very lucky to have been treated and cared for IJL, especially Julie **. Time was given to every detail. The interviews included details that made my chances of finding my right match much higher.

It's Just Lunch recently arranged a date/match for me with a gentleman whom I truly enjoyed being with. It appeared to me that IJL had carefully considered our respective personalities and how we might "hit it off." I had a great time, and while this individual and I may never become a couple in the future, it's wonderful to have a lovely new friend who has already enriched my life!

My experience has been horrible and I even canceled before the 12 dates because 10 of them were mismatches. There was a long time between each date. There was misrepresentation, not listening to what I was saying and multiple matchmakers that I had never even met on the Zoom, but they’re just looking at a piece of paper and sending forward any guy at all!!! Unfortunately low quality matches! It was a very frustrating experience and dissatisfying experience. I think it’s a scam. The sales executive put a lot of pressure on me and I waited a long time before I joined. She made promises that never happened.

I’m pleased to offer a brief review of my experience thus far with IJL and specifically my match maker, Lisa B, along with my initial and ongoing contact, Julie. Together they have been nothing short of highly professional and driven to help try achieve my ultimate date goals. They are passionate about their profession and I feel have a genuine desire to seek the best possible match. They communicate very well, are thorough in their questions of me, and they encourage feedback from prior dates. With such a great process, I'm confident that the more we work together the closer they will get at fine tuning for best results. I am very pleased thus far, and am also thankful for such a great, exclusive and private option to try find someone special.

I adore Lisa and IJL! Everyone I've met have the same goals and similar values- all that he and I need to figure out is chemistry and what to eat!! Even when there isn't chemistry, the restaurants are fantastic, and my dates are lovely and interesting people. I've met several amazing guys, and even put my account on hold recently to go exclusive with my latest match! Couldn't be more excited, and couldn't have done it without Lisa's in-depth knowledge of who I am and what I'm looking for.

My experience with Marina has been very positive. She's professional, friendly, and a great listener. The first date she presented exceeded my expectations. He is my caliber of guy, professional, polished, kind and a good communicator. I welcome more matches like this in the future, and I think Marina understands what I'm looking for.

Great first date with an amazing woman who made me feel very comfortable and had a very enjoyable dinner together. We ended up having a nearly 4 hour dinner together and could not have had a better evening.

I overall like the idea of It's Just Lunch. I had my first date a few months after signing up, and didn't get my second date until almost two years later. I like that they were still willing to work with me, despite being blind and just had me complete a quick medical release with my own description "that I still see the light from up above" to show to potential dates. I am in the Harrisburg, PA area and not sure how many people in the area have signed up for the service. They have tried to set me up with dates all the way in Philadelphia, which would be a two-hour train ride and quite a bit of money to spend, just to meet someone whom I may never see again.

This is such the biggest scam so I paid for. It’s Just Lunch for about a year to two years 'cause they financed me. I did go on dates. All of the dates were foreign. No disrespect. Respectfully some of the women were nice but they were all **. They were such a language barrier. I kept on reaching out to. It’s just lunch and informing them that I would like some different ethnicity dates and they kept saying oh OK OK OK. Kept setting me up with ** or ** or **. Again with the language barrier and everything it was just not good dates so I called to cancel. They canceled it with me we completely. She said, "OK you don’t have to worry about paying anymore because you paid so much." Now it’s on my credit and now they’re trying to garnish my taxes. The biggest scam and rip off ever. I should’ve just did an adventure adventure. The biggest scam and rip off ever, I should’ve just did a adventure adventures.

Abmer has been the absolute best most professional consultant that I have had so far. I really appreciate her. I would recommend her to friends and family. She has provided what I thought IJL service would be.

I signed up with It’s Just Lunch in November 2025 for a 12-month membership costing $**, with a promise of 24 matches. My experience did not reflect what was presented. Communication was inconsistent, there were long gaps between matches, and I went on only one date in the first few months. The matches I received did not align well with my stated preferences.

Hello, I have talked to several different matchmakers at IJL... They've all been extremely caring... And they have always tried to make this experience the best that it could be for myself... this is I hope that this is the next chapter of my life... And I can't wait!!! Thank you everyone. 😁

I am not overly thrilled with IJL. Two of the three dates recommended were not of interest to me. I received an email addressed to the wrong person. I have not heard from IJL since March 1st. I am not sure if I believe this a value that will benefit me. How can I speak to someone regarding a partial refund. I do not think IJL can find a match for me.

IJL was after me for at least 10 years by phone and email. I steadfastly refused its offers until 2025 when I got tired of no results from Match.com. IJL promised two dates monthly for a down payment of approximately $2000 plus $280 monthly. The dates did not happen, so after four or five months I cancelled IJL. I would never recommend IJL to anyone, and I wish I had searched it on Google before committing; I would have seen IJL being in litigation, and I would not have engaged its services. But IJL has Amber who is full of integrity. She said I was owed eight or nine dates, and she is trying to accommodate me and to arrange those dates. I have the utmost respect for her, but I would never have engaged IJL had I searched it first on Google and seen its litigation or if Match had produced dates. Thank you Amber.

I’ve had a positive experience with It’s Just Lunch. The team is professional, communicative, and takes the time to understand what you’re looking for. It’s a great alternative to dating apps if you’re tired of endless swiping and prefer a more personal, curated approach to meeting people. The process feels organized and thoughtful, which I really appreciate.

It hard to rate my experience with It’s Just Lunch. I am very disappointed with the lack of transparency regarding the cost and structure of the program. I guess should have known it's a sell pitch! First, the full cost of the program was not clearly explained. I paid over $** to join, expecting a personalized matchmaking service that would continue until a successful match was made. However, I later learned that the membership actually ends after a certain number of dates or after six months, whichever comes first. This was not clearly communicated when I enrolled and feels very misleading.

Very disappointing after paying close to $13k!!! They initially robbed me of $10k and after complaining about the VERY poor quality of men they matched me with, they lead me to believe that I should be in some "Elite" group, and I fell for it since I was new to Dallas and had a very demanding career. They said it will cost me another $3k and I fell for it only to continue to be matched with men that were nowhere near my expectations. The entire experience was absolutely terrible!!!! Never again!

So incredibly disappointing and unprofessional! Complete waste of money. I finally decided to invest money after my husband passed thinking paying so much money would set me up for success. They literally told me that no man would want me because of my age. So incredibly unprofessional and rude. Please spread the word,

Oh my GOODNESS! I could not be happier with Amy M! She has been so attentive. She listened to my needs and told me what she needed from me. Not only is she a good listener, she had great input on looking at things a little differently than I may have. Amy really performed in finding me what I have been unsuccessfully searching for for so very long. I am so grateful for her listening ear and advice; AND her "can do" spirit in the search for my person. I can now rest a bit easier. She did the leg work and found the needle in the haystack! I can not wait to see the man she set me up with again. I am beyond thrilled. It was the best first date I have ever been on. The connection we had was remarkable. I am mind blown and actually still in shock that this is really happening! Thank you, Amy. I am excited, giddy, content-- just all the things! Thank you for seeing the connection!!! YAYYYYYYYY

The date went very well. Both parties were kind and considerate to one another. I think we both enjoyed meeting each other. We both want to do things with another person and not be alone. We both have common interests in doing things together. I feel we both enjoyed each other's company.

Amber is very customer focused and listens to their comments. For example, parking garages in Center City where one of the Its Just Lunch restaurants is located refuses to take my vehicle for parking. Hence, I explained this to Amber and she is going to ensure that my new lunch dates avoid this high-traffic, parking constrained geographic area. Thank you Amber!!!

After previous less than great experiences I am really happy to be working with Marina at the Luxe level. She really listens and so far I am so glad I trusted the process and signed up with IJL Luxe. Marina’s approach is organized and her attention to the little things is really making this process work for me. I truly believe she cares. I’m excited to see where this goes.

DO NOT USE IT’S JUST LUNCH!! This dating service is not who they try to say they are! It is such a scam. I was very specific and clear about the type of person I was looking for and the location I could date. It HAS BEEN AWFUL. I have never once been matched with someone who met the profile I had requested or in the location that I could date. I asked repeatedly for a refund and all they do is move me from one different matchmaker to another. Tabitha H. Sign me up and she knew exactly what I was looking for and promised me there would be “many” men for me to pick from.… but there have been none that met my criteria. Also, in between matches can be as long as a month or longer. So when I have declined a match, sometimes it takes a month or longer to be matched again…just to have the same issue repeat itself over and over. If you are trying to decide to use the service or not… listen to me and do Not sign up. Scam!
