The Panther Omelet is legendary! Best comfort food in the Cedar Valley!
It's a hit or miss on the food and the service. The price is right though. I've had great times at J's and some not so great. Today I left hungry after paying for my food because they couldn't get it right and now I'm at home after paying for lunch and I'm cooking another.
This is always an excellent place to eat. Best customer service and great food!
J's is a great breakfast spot! Food was fresh and delicious and our server was great. We finished with slices of pie and they were superb. Short wait, as the seating area is cozy.
Pie terrific
Absolutely delicious! And they handled our group of 25+ with ease. Lots of menu options to choose from. Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked great! Would definitely eat here again!
There are many places where one can go to get a bite to eat in the area, many I leave feeling frustrated at the cost/quality ratio. Not here. J's blows it out of the water. The food was fantastic, and even though it was super busy, we were helped when we needed it without fail. And the nut rolls are INCREDIBLE. Will be back!
Fantastic and tons of sweet treats to choose from and great food💯
Was super busy, service took a ehile. Hearty soup.
Went for AYCE cod Friday night and it was great again. They changed it for awhile and wasn't good. The extra goodies are very recommended.
