“I traveled here for work. I was told that I HAD to go to Js and more specifically if I went to Js to order the panther omelette. This omelette was huge. Way bigger than expected. I walked in and loved it immediately lots of support to the local university, and felt right at home with my server greeting me immediately. I was served quickly and paid attention to the entire time and really enjoyed the old school vibe of a good morning coffee. I ate half of my omelette and ate the other half for my lunch later on.“

“We ordered off the Easter weekend menu, we’re regulars so anytime you guys add/rotate items or have specials we get excited! These absolutely hit. The scallop risotto I’d expect from a Michelin star restaurant in Chicago, it was delicious. Bang bang shrimp were also bright explosive flavors, a joy to eat. The star for my wife was the cheesecake, lemonade lavender and blueberry? Exceptional.Our waitress took great care of us, great experience once again. Thank you, we’re so glad to have a kitchen trying things and pushing out excellent, exciting dishes here in cedar falls.“

“Ate here first time about a week ago sort of bar side feel when you first walk in . They do have large back room though with tables. I had chicken strips with fries and they gave 3 really large strips so good portions. My son had a burger and enjoy his also. Happy hour was told is 4 to 7 and they had a good selection. Our server was great also fast service. I will return here again.“

“Was in town for a wedding and decide to stop in to see my brother who was eating there.After a little visit and some conversation with the waitress and the owner I got interested in the menu. I saw one item offered that always hard fine tasting good. Potato Salad! They said it was homemade and really good. A relatives recipe. So I thought I would give it a whirl.Shazam!!!! So good I ate every piece of it!! After being hooked and not having an appetite I ordered a Maid-Rite. Delicious. Before I ate all the potato salad I mixed some of the maid rite meat with it. Oh! soooooo goood!Friendly waitress and owner who has a ketchup trick to show you.Highly recommended this place.Tell them you saw this review by Jorge from DBQ, IA.“

“Seven of us in our party on a Friday night - super busy but a table was available right away. Our server was fantastic. Took a little for our food because of how busy it was. The noise level was high and difficult to talk to everyone at our table.Everyone enjoyed their food, especially the ones who had burgers, even the ‘lonely’ burger. My daughter stated the best burger ever.We will return during lunch and enjoy the atmosphere and wall decor without the noise level - great food and service!“

This was my first time here, it was definitely different when walking into a line and you have a person for every station making part of the sandwich. The staff were respectful and quick with making the subs. I will definitely stop again! Huge menu and many different options.“

“Liberty took great care of us this afternoon. Was a little bit chilly but understandable as it was the beginning of lunch time. There were approximately 20 people standing outside waiting for the restaurant to open and they were able to get everyone seated quickly. Liberty took our drink and appetizer order. We got the onion blossom which was delicious. When she brought our drinks Liberty took our entree order. My husband ordered the Salmon with green beans and baked sweet potato. I ordered the ribs (enough to take home). All was very tasty and everyone was very friendly especially when we were leaving! Thank you Texas Roadhouse for a wonderful lunch date!!“

“I've been here twice. Both times the favorite meal was the Jack Daniel's Burger. The first time with pepper jack cheese instead of the Swiss and the second time with Swiss. I prefer the pepper jack, it gives it a little more bite. The onion rings or the fries are good. I love that they have Tip The Cow on tap.“

“Decent place for a beer and a meal. The food was good but nothing amazing. The server was nice, but I could tell she was overworked. Took an hour to get food from the moment we ordered. However, the server informed us about the long wait for food beforehand, so I greatly appreciated that.All in all, it's a decent place for a beer and a meal if in the area. Will definitely visit again“

“Staci at Famous Dave's is the most kind-hearted person EVER! She saved our lives with emergency food while we were stranded and nearly freezing to death in this -20° blizzard! The food was so good and comfortingly warm, we actually cried while eating it. The dinner Staci arranged for us is the greatest meal our old haunted home has seen in several decades! Everything right down to their famous Devil's Spit sauce was so intoxicating that we had to stop and get the silverware out for it... and the GRILLED-CHEESE SANDWICH was the tastiest, most decadent grilled-cheese sandwich I've had anywhere! Our pipes are currently frozen and we have no water, so without Staci and Famous Dave's, we probably wouldn't be alive right now. For that, we are eternally grateful. I understand now how a hot meal really can save a life! In the case of Famous Dave's and a loving soul like Staci, we had an amazing dinner that we'll remember forever. ❤️From Ray & Cait at The Haunted Bonorden Nursing Home ??️❄️Thank you! ?????️ ❤️“
