My spouse and I enjoy the home style meals and home made pizzas from Mr J's. This is your typical pub fare. The food is always excellent and the barkeeps are second to none. Never been disappointed with quantity sizes (portions are med to lg) for most meals. Great atmosphere and the staff there have always made us feel welcomed. Will we go back?... well of course we will!!

If you're looking for an authentic homemade breakfast that tastes like mom made it, then this is the place to go! The meats were cooked to perfection, and the home fries aren't frozen sad chunks like your usual breakfast places and you can tell it was made with love and care. I'm thankful for the good, honest chefs that dont see the spotlight, and it'll definitely be our new breakfast place along with a great bar to hang out with friends! All in all, it costed us 30 for 2 of the greatest breakfasts we've had in a long, long time and I beg you to take some time out of your drive to check it out! Thanks again for the amazing service and the excellent food!!

The clubhouse, beatball sub and fries were fantastic (and that's an understatement) My son and I were seated right away, food was prompt, hot and delicious. It's an old original building but the environment is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this hidden gem!

Stopped in for a late breakfast and was pleasantly surprised with the good food and friendly, efficient service. Located in a strip mall. Most of the customers appeared to be locals, which is a good sign. We did not sample the pizza.
