I have been a member with IJL for 11 month (since the end of November 2023). For the first 7 month I was very unsatisfied with the service I was getting, in other words I was not getting any service at all. In July 2024 I was contacted by agent Marina who was a matchmaker for the guy who was interested to meet with me. I really liked Ms. Marina's approach and professionalism in matchmaking and for the first time I experienced the best service in IJL and I requested Ms. Marina if she could be my matchmaker. I started getting more and more dates with great man in town since Ms. Marina took over my case. My rate for Ms. Marina is 5/5.
Rate for IJL is 3/5 for the bad experience (for no service) I had for 7 month.
I have been working with Tayna from It's Just Lunch for over a year, and my experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, Tayna has been incredibly responsive to my calls and always takes the time to listen to my feedback. Her friendly and approachable nature makes our interactions comfortable and productive.
Tayna is proactive in arranging all the logistics of my dates, which has made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She genuinely understands what I am looking for in a relationship and goes the extra mile to ensure that each match is thoughtfully considered. After every date, she eagerly seeks my feedback to continually improve the matching process.
Her dedication and professionalism have made my journey towards finding a meaningful connection both enjoyable and hopeful. I highly recommend Tayna and the team at It's Just Lunch to anyone looking for a personalized and attentive matchmaking experience.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and value you as an IJL client. Thank you!
I think the site needs to open up to allow for more personalized interaction with the date that you select.
We appreciate this feedback and will absolutely share it with our team. Thank you!
I have just gotten started with IJL and have gone on one date. The staff are professional, helpful and invested.
Thank you Leslie and we look forward to more fun first date feedback!
I've had two dates so far and both were enjoyable. I like the fact that my dating coaches are open to feedback, willing to listen and learn about my dreams and wishes.
Thank you Leslie! Feedback from you is the most essential part of the process and we greatly appreciate it. Thank you for being an IJL client.
I have had two dates with IJL. For the most part they were positive but, no match I am in my sixties and the dating pool is limited.
Thank you! Your matchmaker is hard at work on your next date and we will be in touch soon.
My matchmaker has astutely listened to my preferences and expertly delivered on the first match. Though we may not have clicked, the individual she found shares my traits, hobbies, and values. Following the date, she provided invaluable support, helping me prepare for the next match while keeping the experience lighthearted and enjoyable.
We are elated to hear this feedback and appreciate the time you took to share it. Without your feedback, we cannot continue to improve for you. Thank you for being an IJL client.
I had Destinee as my personal dating coordinator. I have found her to be kind, & prompt on making plans for me. She is respectful to my requests, listens and receives feedback professionally. IJL needs people like her to contact their clients because she shows a caring personality! And gets dates done!
Thank you Ann for the fabulous feedback about your matchmaker, happy dating!
Jaiye is one of the best at IJL. Always positive and very professional. Works very hard to find the right match for you. Great about getting back in touch with you and a Great communicator
We love to hear this! Matchmaking is our passion and we are happy to hear you are enjoying the experience with the matchmaking team. We will share your feedback with our team and look forward to your next date
The staff has been very accommodating and helpful. They are very nice and positive. They communicate well before and after dates.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback; looking forward to your next date!
It's been a great experience working with Bryana to find a good match for me. Always hard at my age to find a companion that works. Somethings getting someone who doesn't know you personally is the best method.
We appreciate the candid review and can't wait to share this with our team. Thank you for choosing IJL!
First date in 20 years. I was a nervous wreck, end it couldn't have gone more smooth. Great restaurant and even better company. They take all of the guess work out of it. Just show up and have fun.
Appreciate the feedback and time you took to share your experience, thank you again!
Matchmaker Marina provided a very clear description of the proposed date's profile. The lady I met and I hit it off very well - this was certainly the person that I had been presented. This was certainly a good match. A very commendable introduction by Marina.
Appreciate this feedback and so elated to hear you had a wonderful time!
Bryanna makes me feel like I can ask her anything. She seems genuinely invested in my happiness. When i have a concern she talks me through it without telling me what to do, and we always END our conversations with a good laugh! It's wonderful to have someone like her in your corner :).
We love hearing this great feedback and thank you for taking the time to share. Your matchmaker is in your corner and your ultimate wing-woman throughout this entire journey. Thank you for being an IJL client!
Eyrina has been very patient and detail oriented. She takes the time to listen and give advice when solicited. She is kind hearted and smart. She is helping me in this journey and I trust her judgment. I feel like I can tell her all my thoughts freely and that her feedback will be direct and honest.
Thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments about your matchmaker an the process. We are so happy to hear you are enjoying the experience and cannot wait to share your remarks with our team. Thank you!
While I J L is not for everyone, I found that it is working for me. Though a bit expensive for a 12 to 18 month experience, the staff seems truly out there to help me find a perfect match. I have been assigned a life coach. EYRINA. She has to b the best there is. She has experience and it shows. She cares about me and she cares about the matches she makes for me. Tough position…. To worry about both people in the match. I am convinced after just one successful match that Eyrina will b successful in matching me when it is all said and done!
We love this feedback and love your mindset about the process! We are looking forward to your next great date.
I am very early in the process and Jaiye has been helpful. I would like follow up communication on dates to happen closer to the proximity of the dates. I will be able to communicate more after a few more dates. All arrangements that Jaiye have made on my behalf have worked out well.
Thanks Doug! We look forward to more fun first dates!
Could have a little more communication and checking in and following up on dates or matches in progress. Starting to feel like my must haves in a match are just now really being considered after a few dates.
Claire, thank you for sharing. We will pass your feedback along to the matchmaking team who is hard at work on your next date. Your feedback is essential throughout the entire process, as we use this to fine-tune your dates.
I signed up with IJL about a year ago. Overall I am disappointed with my membership because I have not been able to find a potential partner. I signed up for the de luxe program and spend a lot of money. I have only been on 1 date and the few other times that I was interested in meeting someone the dates were cancelled last minute.
My matchmaker Amy was absolutely delightful. She really took the time to get to know me and I know that she did her best to find a good match for me.
The problem was however that there were no men in the network that I was even remotely interested in. That was the biggest disappointment for me in this whole experience.
I know though that Amy had my best interest at heart. I was extremely satisfied with her work.
Before joining It's Just Lunch, I had no problem getting in touch with someone - even on weekends - with any questions or concerns. Now that I'm a member, it's almost impossible to get a response from anybody. I've been on one date since I joined (two months ago). I can't get any feedback or new prospects - just no response. I'm feeling like I've been scammed.
Answer: It's Just Lunch is a scam... don't do it! It's just them charging your credit card! They work hard on getting your credit card number - once you pay customer service is OVER! There's no team of people looking for you & you can't access anyone -with out them initiating a contact. In 14 months only one 'lunch'. However, because the experience was so horrible, not even It's Just Lunch counts it as 'lunch'. I've been asking for my money to be refunded. Whatever you do, be proactive for yourself & just say "no.".
Answer: Unfortunately, now I cannot share a success story, because there was absolutely nothing that was successful about this company


We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your matchmaker and things are moving in a positive direction. Keep the feedback coming our way as your feedback is the way we fine-tune the process and continue to improve. Thank you again!
