Service is friendly and accurate. Great cheeseburgers and hot dogs. Perfect small town diner atmosphere.

J-Birds was a breath of fresh air. The service was excellent and everyone seemed to know each other. I came with my coworker, Raffa, and we were sat at a table for 2 near the kitchen. The menu was a split between breakfast and lunch with mostly burgers and hot dogs for lunch. I decided to go a different route by ordering the Turkey Rueben with tots and Raffa followed suit and ordered the corn beef Rueben with fried okra. Both of our meals were quite good! It was my first trip to J-Birds but it definitely won't be the last. Thanks! read more

Hamburgers and hotdogs are excellent. Tater tots instead of fries. Servers are always friendly.

I think I found the best chili dog in town. I went for lunch and parking is a little ratch, but there are enough spots. Service and staff were great, even got a shout out from the kitchen! I ordered a chili-cheese-mustard-onion dog and was more than pleasantly surprised. The hot dog and bun were well cooked and soft. The chili was the star, with a peppery flavor that gave the dog a perfect balance with the red onion. The dog itself, however, was small for $5+. Onion rings were okay, nothing really special. With a drink, it came out to $11.50 or so, plus tip. Pricey vs the portion. Maybe 10$ lunch combo is what it's worth. T I will come back at some point, when I can, since they are closed on the weekends. The chili burger is my next target, but will skip the side and get a dog instead. read more

Top tier food! Very nice service and good date spot to recommend for husband and boyfriends

My first time out to Mint Hill and trying J-Birds. I had a double cheeseburger with some tater tots. The food is amazing and the small town vibe and friendliness is even better. If you have not been to try this gem yet you need to treat yourself. Friendly staff and great food. What is not to like! read more

Wonderful place to eat, very friendly and clean Food is always delicious and done in a timely manner read more

Very friendly servers and the hot dogs with mustard, onions and chili are the best. We try to eat lunch there every week or two

hadn't been to this place since it was Penny's Place 6-8 years ago. Man, I was missing out! Breakfast is awesome and the burgers and dogs are excellent as well. I'll be back. read more

A quick, easy lunch spot! When you walk in its seat yourself, find a table and the menus are on the table for you. I ordered a BLT on a biscuit with a side of fries and my husband got a double smash burger with fried pickles. The biscuit was kind of small, but the the tomato on the BLT was perfect! The fries were great and are like skinny McDonald's fries. The fried pickles were excellent and had a thick breading on it and my husband loved his burger. We paid at the register and headed out; I'd say it took maybe just over 30 minutes! read more

Simply southern breakfast food. It's pretty good and the service is quite nice. I was confused by the ads for other restaurants and the lack of a pancake combo. But I'd go again. read more

Great breakfast in the most adorable town. Passing through Mint Hill NC looking for a good breakfast and stumbled across J Birds. Eggs were done perfectly and hash browns were crispy. Even got a personal tour of some sports history. Prices are super reasonable and service was most excellent. Can't really go wrong here!! read more

I've past this place many times while going through the area, but always after hours running one of my children to something. I had an appointment nearby at noon today so made it a point to finally come here and try it out for lunch and I'm glad I did. Quick service, hit and fresh food and a tasty burger Julius from Pulp Fiction could appreciate all at a great price. Skip the nearby chain options and try this place out. read more

A great spot that takes pride in what they do! Awesome burgers, hot dogs and onion rings at unbeatable prices. The staff is very friendly and attentive. read more

Best restaurant cheeseburger we have had in quite some time. Service was fast and friendly. Can't believe we haven't tried this until just recently. Have been driving past it for years! read more

Good and service was great double cheeseburger and fries kicked butt and little to no wait.

Reminds me of the good old days. Food is great!!! Service is nice and the food comes out quick. Prices are very reasonable

Went for breakfast . Had a breakfast sandwich which was fine but the hash browns were just chopped up tater tots which were not even cooked well. Also the place had an overwhelming stench of chemicals that I assume they cleaned the bathrooms with . It was truly horrible . Sorry but will not ever eat here again read more

Great Small local place with great food. Hard to beat the prices. Burgers all the way are amazing. read more

Is this a real five star restaurant? Of course not. For the type of restaurant it is, it is really good though and it surprised both my wife and I. We had cheese burgers and tots and both were super hot, well prepared and tasty. The service was great too. This is just a good place with good, service and good food. read more

I have to say the food is still pretty decent but if you're looking for a place where the wait staff has attitude issues this is the place for you I had a mishap with one of the staff I was completely in the right and they were in the wrong they're not very professional I spoke with the owner and the owner says his girls are up and down and maybe they were having that time of the month to me that's not a reasonable excuse for the unprofessionalism that I had to deal with what is that your cup of tea this is the place to be read more

It was awesome. Cheeseburger fries and tots. I will return. Next time I will try the chuck wagon and the Johnny Ho. read more

stopped by for breakfast, wish we had visited sooner! The wait staff was lovely and personable. Food is resonantly price, like Waffle House but a little more southern. Will be back to try a burger for dinner! read more

Great Small local place with great food. Hard to beat the prices. Burgers all the way are amazing.

Wow, First time I've been there. If it was closer to me I'd be there at least 3-4 a week. It's a small place with a very big attitude. Went for breakfast. Two orders of eggs, country ham, hash browns, homemade biscuits, and drinks for $15. And all cooked to order and very good. Can't wait to go back soon for lunch. Excellent service, all most to good. My tea was never even half empty and it was being refill. Same with coffee. And the food came out fast even though they were busy at the time. If you like local homey places for breakfast or lunch you HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE. read more

Great atmosphere looks much more inviting inside awesome burger enjoy the fresh patty hamburger

J-Bird is an awesome breakfast/lunch jointe! Friendly staff and good food. Cozy atmosphere. Don't let the small building and full parking lot fool ya. I guess everyone meets there and drives their own car. Usually no wait or a short wait. read more

Very good food. Very good service. Food was cooked fast and was hot and fresh. Food was delicious and inexpensive. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic experience. Friendly staff and food was fast and great. Had a hamburger and hotdog all they way. Mustard chili slaw and onions. Slaw is an option but was worth the add on. Chili is homemade with a little spice and is fantastic. The owner stuck his head out several times to make sure everything was fine. read more

Ordered a breakfast combo + an extra corned beef hash. BOTH my eggs AND my corned beef hash each came back with a HAIR in it. Front of house did their best to rectify the situation, but ultimately the kitchen needs to put on some hairnets. I will NEVER come back. read more

Great place!! Ate breakfast and lunch every day while working in area. Great food and the girls are friendly and professional!!

I really wish I had liked the food here better, cause everything else was great. The place is lots of fun to be in and more inviting than it looks like from the outside. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is just a fun experience to be in. The prices here are ridiculously cheap, most foods in the range of three dollars. But you get what you pay for, meaning that a salad is some pasty white iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and most other foods are deep-fried and pretty generic. I felt very guilty and not at all healthy after the meal here, and the cooking was definitely not good enough to make the guilt worthwhile. But if cheap and greasy is the kind of food you like, this will be your heaven. If you want to experience this place, I recommend sticking to the burgers. As far as I know, a Mint Hill cattle farmer supplies the beef to this place. His beef is pastured and (uncertified) organic. The burgers tasted fairly good. read more

Prior reviews have all commented on the very cool interior wall space of license plates, and tons of signs of a long past era ! The waitstaff was excellent heeding to each customer with a personal touch! The food was subpar mainly due the amount of grease that came with the burgers etc. I knew I might be in trouble when the burger came out, noticing the sheen left on the plate. Not used to fried foods anymore & I paid for it later that day. Tried the banana pudding for desert, which was average. Will go back to taste the breakfast menu, this time I will take some tums prior to chowing down, can't beat the prices, cheap! read more

I just stumbled upon this place earlier this week and it was so good that I came back two days later. Today I had the Turkey Reuben and it was one of the best Rubens I've had in my life. read more

Great spot. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is friendly. Recommend to check out. Made a Yelp account for the sole purpose of posting a review of this place. read more

The place was clean. Didn't feel welcome, poor service. Never got silverware. The shrimp burger was mediocre at best. Noticed on sign leaving they had grilled shrimp, was never asked grilled or fried. Came with coleslaw on it but that was not detailed on the menu. Cheeseburger was okay. Menu had burgers, hot dog and shrimp burger and a list of sides. Overpriced for limited selection and quality. read more

I know there is a new owner here; he was very pleasant, asking everyone if everything was okay. I'll give them some time to get things into a 'groove.' However...Penny's owner, I hope you're reading this...there are only three things on the menu, hotdogs, hamburgers and some sort of shrimp thing. If you only have three things on the menu, and there were only two people in my party...the meals should have been served together. My son got his hotdog 10 minutes before I got my hamburger. And seeing as how much time I had to look around, this was the situation for every single table around me. One person would be served a VERY long time before the others in their party. Here's my recommendation: write the entire table's order on one ticket. Your kitchen is apparently not noticing which meals are seated at the same table, and are just cooking in an arbitrary order. My poor son, being polite, ate a cold hotdog even though I tried to get him to eat before me. Also, drain your onion rings...way too greasy. That being said, though, the hotdog and hamburger were quite good. I would consider this in the future for a quick lunch...but you've got to figure out a way I'll be able to eat with my companion first. read more

A burger, fries, and a side salad. That's not much to ask for. Yet in this case the "side salad" consisted of a bowl of lettuce. I asked for oil and vinegar and received white vinegar (for those who don't know...that's not the kind you put on a salad). The burger was clearly a frozen patty, small and unsatisfying. read more

If you're a fan of the original NC Cheeseburger, this is the place. Fresh ground chuck, mustard, slaw, onions and an absolutely outstanding chili. Cooked to order. Approximately 6oz portion that is as good as you will ever taste. Order it with hand breaded onion rings and you are set for the day. None better in this part of NC, or any part of NC/SC for that matter. Serving breakfast and lunch, this Mint Hill gathering place will treat you as family and the service is excellent. 5 Star in my book. read more

Three of us ate breakfast there this morning, and were served tasteless, reheated packaged food on styrofoam plates. STYROFOAM plates! The decor is cute, but the food is a total waste of money. We will never go back - and we live less than ten minutes away. read more
