About James Bar

The James Bar is a local favorite in the heart of the city, offering a delightful dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delicious lamb sliders and small house salad with pickled red onion, which are customer favorites. The knowledgeable bartenders provide fast service, ensuring a smooth experience even on busy nights. While some guests have experienced less than stellar service, the overall vibe of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for dinner or lunch. The outdoor area is an added bonus on nice days, and the music selection is also a standout. Prices may be a bit high, but the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere make it a worthwhile visit. The restaurant has been described as a "hidden gem" with a "cute and cozy space" and "many TVs if you're trying to watch sports." Customers have raved about the great food at reasonable prices, including the Caesar salad, fries, burgers, and beers. The lamb burger, beef brisket sandwich, and "Aidenator" have all received high praise, with customers planning to return to try more items on the menu, including the bison stew during the winter months.

Love going here. Good food at a fair price.

My wife and sat for 10 mins and watch multiple people get seated and served before us. When we asked if we could get a couple menus the waitress was extremely rude. She took another 10 mins to come back to our table to rudely ask, “What do you want?”

We left and went to the Iron Horse where we were promptly seated and had excellent service. We will NEVER consider eating at this establishment again!!

We had a family get together 15 people this past Sunday and they helped make sure we could be seated together. Our server, Taylor, couldn’t have been more attentive and did a fantastic job. The food was absolutely amazing! The beef bites might be the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Tater tots are delicious and the portions are insane. Never an empty glass which with our family is key :-). Can’t recommend this place enough. Great atmosphere, great food and fantastic service....read full review
