Great company and great matching service

By R C., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

It's Just Lunch is a well-managed company. The best part of it is that they have a great matching system. They assigned Joel H as my matchmaker, and he has been amazing. He has great communications skills and his delivery is warm and empathetic. From the first interview I had with him, I felt very hopeful. He was committed to understanding what I am looking for and is working very hard towards that end. He has been very available and responsive.

I have used It's Just Lunch before and my experience this time is very different. I think the company has made a lot of very positive changes and I am very hopeful.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Is a well establish service, they are experienced and keep making it better

They provide a very personal approach that emphasizes different aspects of compatibility

They do their homework thru the work of the matchmakers

It is confidential, reaching people that can not afford to have their name or picture in the regular dating sites.

Not sure if they have enough members that would be good matches for me

Great service for personalized matchmaking!

By Ann L., Austin, TX, Verified Reviewer

I was hesitant about joining this type of service, but have been very pleasantly surprised with It's Just Lunch. They are truly professionals in the matchmaking service. The process was simple to get set up and much more personalized than the online dating scene. Your matchmaker will get to know you and all about what makes you YOU and then set out to find someone who has that sparkle that is just for you. My matchmaker Kayla has been a pleasure to work with. It is pretty easy once your account is set up. Just show up for lunch and meet new people and see where it goes! Would highly recommend.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Easy to use.

Cuts out the online craziness.

High quality people for dates.

It's not cheap.

You don't have as many dates as you would with online dating because your matchmaker is trying to be more specialized to fit your specific desires.

A place for you

By Cindy B., Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

Will D, matchmaker extraordinaire at IJL, smoothly handles the details of where and when to meet your dates. He takes on the logistics so you don't have to.

IJL ensures that the choice to go on a date with a particular someone is mutual. This provides a certainty that introducing yourself on your own does not.

Will D sets up the dates with confidence and enthusiasm, and designates a place for you to meet up with someone who will just be there to meet up with you.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

I like having lunch dates on the calendar to anticipate

I enjoy a feeling of camaraderie with my matchmaker

It gives me the opportunity to meet new people

I prefer less distance from my dates

I'd like to update my initial interview preferences

I'd like to give input for choosing the restaurant

First date, so far so good.

By Fernando V., Long Beach, CA, Verified Reviewer

Kenia has sent me out on one good date. I'm brand new at this but I have to say that IJL delivered as advertised on that first date. It was fun, well planned, excellent venue, my date insisted on paying for 1/2 and that impressed me. Just like the company said. I hope to see this excellent, classy lady again next week.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

My date was high quality and compatible.

Kenia had a good feel for what I was looking for.

So far so good.

The follow-up was lacking. I waited six days then finally reached out myself.

I'd like to have more of a selection sooner.

The 4 stars are specifically for Tamia

By Lauren C., New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

IJL is a terrible service I wish I never purchased. That being said, Tamia is truly working to fix my experience. She is my 3rd matchmaker after the first disappeared. She is very responsive.

I give IJL 1 star.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

I have to put a lot of effort to get a 3rd date rescheduled

In 5 months I've only had 3 matches out of 12

Eva K lied, and I cannot get out of the contract after the 3rd date if the service is not working for me
