I came here to use one of the three $25 gift cards I have. I won the gift cards. They were…read moreincluded in a package at a fundraiser for a local pet shelter. I ordered wings (decent size oddly two of them weren't sauced), fries and cheese curds. Ok, not great overall. Went to pay my bill and leave a nicer than warranted tip ($25 card and $10 in cash). Server came back and said the gift card "could not be honored at this time". The reason was they "weren't set up yet for those". I will not be returning. Oh, and I called the pet shelter to let them know what kind of donor they had worked with.

From our booth, the TVs were distant and it wasn't at all an immersive football environment like…read moreyou feel at most sports bars. Our wings were somewhat undercooked and made my wife sick almost instantly. I ordered the most appealing beer on the menu, and it was just okay, as in I wouldn't order it again. Our waitress wasn't rude but wasn't very friendly either. Overall, unless you're staying next door, there's not much reason to choose Jay's Lounge II.

Dressing was on the side, not loaded on. Beer cheese burger was enhanced with bacon strips, and pickle (I skipped the jalapeños). Fries were abundant and tasty. It was a great first visit, although they've been open for over a year. Easy to park at the Clover Hotel. Extra special thanks to Chris at the bar.

I'd like to thank Chantel and our other server(sorry I didn't get your name), but she was a lovely lady who grew up in CA, you both were so wonderful to talk too. We ordered cheese curds, which were the best I have had in a long time! I got a bacon cheese burger and my husband got the sloppy Joe. Every thing was great. We probably sat in the place for 3 hours, drinking and eating and talking to the locals. There is not a more friendlier atmosphere and group of people. South Bend really is a wonderful time and I can't wait for our next trip out to visit my new local favorite spot.

If you want friendly, prompt service, good booze prices, healthy portions of hearty food, this is your spot. I had Scotch Eggs (pretty good for "over here") and the "side house salad." The salad could have been a meal. Wife's chicken pot pie was solid, and son's fish was well battered and well cooked. Star of the food show was the bread pudding - shared by 3 and we couldn't finish it. Star of the evening was waitron Kayleigh. Service was prompt, attention was spot on (not too much, not too little - just right). All around, excellent evening.

My vegan friend had bibimbap w/jackfruit that was very flavorful & large serving. I had poke with spicy shrimp. Very good. I did not feel mine was spicy at all. Perfectly done. We needed a carry out box for the fries because the shared servings were large & yummy. Surprised that our water had no ice. I would definitely recommend for a change of pace & especially if needing vegan entrees. So few restaurants offer that. Prices were very reasonable too. Also good for meat lovers. Many smoked entrees
