“What a wonderful little diner filled with a line of regular customers on Friday noon! The burgers are big. The onion rings are crispy. The iced tea is fresh and refills on on the house. Then you leave with a small dish of ice cream or a cone.Parking: Parking is limited, but street parking is available within a short walk.Wheelchair accessibility: Two steps up gets you in the door and the seating does not allow much of a walkway. But J's is called "Carry Out" for a reason. They do a bustling business from the drive through, and you still get your complimentary ice cream! You don't need to get out of your vehicle to enjoy J's.“

“I love love LOVE Amanda's.We got the #3 Roast Beef, #8 Kickin' Southwest Chicken, with a side of the house coleslaw.First off, overall, the food was delicious. Flavorful, great texture, and not overly salty like most places.The roast beef: on sunflower wheat, wonderful! In the past, the horseradish mayo has been a (very pleasant) kick in the mouth, but it was absent this time. Still my favorite sandwich to eat here.The southwest chicken: pleasant, blended flavors of smoky chili, roasted pepper, melted cheese....Great contrast of the crunchy toasted bread and melty insides.The coleslaw: mild, not sweet or onions, good crunch to the cabbage.The workers are kind and knowledge, and the atmosphere can't be beat. It's full of old friends and acquaintances running into each other, just very positive vibes.The high chair was clean and easily accessible.(They have NATIONAL GEOs laying out for you to read while you wait??! I ADORE this)“

“I freaking love this place! Especially now y'all got all that pinball! I've only had one bad experience down there and that was just because of one j*** otherwise the staff is awesome and it's always fun to come in play some games and chit chat.I threw at least $10 into those pinball machines and me and my friends had a blast! Always tip your bartender because they're working hard so we can have fun.Maybe I'll make it down there for St Patty's... seriously one of the best places in town and that's why we call it Royal!“

“Was upstairs for a party for a good friend and everything went great! The ladies behind the bar often came out to check and make sure everyone had what they needed. I went downstairs and saw a friend I hadn’t seen in years and one of the ladies came all the way down and served us a shot of tequila each (which we do every time we see each other in 5 or so years haha) . Really appreciated how well they took care of everyone. Thanks again!“

“We went here on a recommendation from a friend. Our food was wonderful. It was served hot and fresh. The server went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She knew we were coming from out of town. For being a college town, the area at the time, it was not too loud to where you couldn't hear. Thank you for wonderful food, service and making us feel welcomed.“

“I'm from Kansas City area, and so when I came to Bruff's for the first time, I wasn't sure what to expect. Oh, how I was I surprised! I enjoyed all the menu options. My 2 little boys both loved the steak sandwich and chicken fried steak sandwich...and ate it all! The food came out hot! The staff and service were great. I came in on a busy Saturday evening and things seemed to be ran smoothly. I ordered a bloody mary and it did have an odd taste. More like tomato juice? not a bloody mary mix. The tomato juice tasted slightly off too, so maybe work on that. Otherwise, I will definitely return. Thank you and keep up the great work!“
