The staff is great but Fridays are boring at nite...nothing to keep you at the bar after eating...used to have karaoke and even its bad it was still entertaining...the owners do not seem to care read more

Went with neighbors for lunch. We had very good service & each of us enjoyed what we ordered, some taking the rest of their meals home! Portion sizes are very good & worth the money. The ambiance is friendly & casual here. Their tvs feature sports so if you want to grab lunch or dinner & see a game, you've come to the right place! read more

This used to be a great place. Service was bad. Food was worse. This egg sandwich tasted like rancid oil. Broasted chicken was cooked well, but bland. read more

Mom loved the sandwich a lot! She said it was the best one she has ever had since living in Az!! She has lived here for more than 50 years!! We know a great Tenderloin sandwich when we taste it!! It was huge too!! Service was great atmosphere was chill. I'm certain this place would be a hit in the west valley!! We drove 40miles for this Sandwich!! It was worth the Drive!! "Come to the West Valley"" !! read more

Wait a damn minute! Where has this chicken been alllll my life! This chicken is a game changer not to mention tater tots made in house! Stop playing with me mesa! The menu is correct this is the best fried chicken ever (Broaster) with a light breading and juicy inside not too salty and just a touch of pepper, loved it! Becareful that first bite is hot as they are made to order not sitting under a lamp! The sides i could tell are not made in bulk the cold slaw has a touch of sweetness which really helps off set the medley of flavors you are about to take in! Secret menu discovery! Ask Gee for some of his crazy hot sauce selection but be prepared! read more

Everything is always good there I particularly like the fried livers In their roasted chicken for what it is, it's really really good and you can tell by the chicken I got the chicken that's never frozen. They did a good job. However, they need to get their blue moon back. They had it there for 10 years. New owners got rid of it. I used to go four days a week now I only go to. If they don't want to carry a blue moon, shark top is a good substitute All these other orange wheats whatever the purveyors want to sell, you aren't any good read more

Walked into this bar and we were told to sit anywhere. We sat down and drink orders were taken. We also ordered Poutine. After awhile our drinks arrived. We placed our order and waited for quite awhile for our food. The French o ion soup was ok but throwing croutons in there was strange. Four out of five orders all came out at the same time. One of the pizzas ordered was missing the waitress told us it was burned they were recooking it. My French dip was really dry. I could not eat it the waitress asked if I would like something else. I ordered a Cubano. After eating half hour it finally came out. Half our party had left so I boxed up the food and brought it home. The waitress took off half my meal which was nice. Service was below average food was below average. The spicy chicken pizza was just diced chicken with a ton of jalepenos on top. The meat lovers pizza was ok. read more

I'll start of by saying the pace smelled like sewage. We sat outside because of that. The service was the best part of our experience as we had a great server. Food was subpar. The cheese curds were decent but everything else was not great. I got the New Mexico green chili turkey melt. It sounded great but was lacking flavor and not to mention I ordered chips and got fries. My wife got wings and they came cold. She also got a baked potato which was just ok. They did have good drinks specials and the place was affordable. Just wish the food had been better. read more

My mom's neighbor told her about bingo. We met up last Tuesday and had a great time. It starts at 5. You should arrive a bit early to get your cards and find a seat. It's pretty packed. It's free and they have great prizes. The menu is expansive! There are so many great options. Our service was great. There's a ton of seating. Looks like a great place to watch a game. The pulled pork was delish. My mom and I shared nachos. It was a huge dish. There was plenty for both of us. We'll definitely go back. I've told coworkers and friends how much fun it was . It was only 1.5 hours. So, don't worry too much about being late on a work night. I'd definitely recommend this establishment for fun and food! read more

Honestly I want to tell everyone that it's horrible food because I want to keep this gem to myself!! But to be honest it's an awesomely great little bar/ restaurant! The food is amazing. I'm personally addicted to their Gyros but everything from burgers to the fish and even Mussels are great. read more

I just had the ABSOLUTE PERFECT LUNCH HERE. Their New Mexico Turkey Melt is literally better than sex. I don't know how I'm gunna get through my week without that sandwich again. It was literally the PERFECT LUNCH! That sandwich has my heart. My friends wings could've been better, but we both like the bread less shrimp. read more

JJ Madisons All American Grill - THE BEST THING YOUVE EVER TASTED! - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Ah yes, where do I start, after 30 mins minimum, I've had to endure what my story is going to be called "A tale of 2 Pabsts". What I thought would be at least a decent place (been here before after being ignored for 5 mins). Which seems to be the norm. Don't expect to be noticed until the 5-10 minute mark, just don't. Kick back relax with the air around you. The bartender just simply either ignores you or is just that oblivious. After about 7 or so minutes I have finally acquired my first Pabst...then awkwardly she gives me the menu, almost hinting the demise of taking the menu. After maybe 15 minutes of being ignored I have acquired my second Pabst but before I can even order my food she bolted off to other people (I was already ready to order maybe like 10 minutes before the second Pabst). I'm starving now, and since I've been from Wisconsin and now down here, there isn't really a bar that's great. This bar apparently prides itself from Wisconsin. I'll tell you this, this embarrasses anything of a true Wisconsin bar. The atmosphere by staff is the vibe if "you're not 50+, you can see yourself out" I'm just wanting to leave and pay, but I feel like I'm being held hostage for the how bad the service is. It is truly a taste of home to me...(that being neglected). She has only came to me twice in about 40ish minutes, hasn't even looked at me with my 2 pabsts, and all I've wanted was a broccoli cheddar soup. Just seems dismal as this bar that I have been at multiple times has been similar experiences. If I had a white board telling the bartender what I wanted with writing on it, I don't think she'd care or notice. This just seems a bar that doesn't care if you're not over 50. Perhaps the only thing is maybe the Thursday wing deal, but that is the ONLY thing that may save this bar...can't think of anything else. Also, there is a sign that says "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" maybe add the fact if you're young you won't be getting service at all. Nothing like being uncomfortable at a bar, but this one did it. That's the story of "2 Pabsts no food" aka "A tale of 2 Pabsts" read more

We were in the East Valley for a baseball tournament and the team decided during break to go there to eat. Service was very good considering about 40 people came in at the same time (including our messy 13 year old boys). I ordered the Reuben because that's how I rate a restaurant. If you can't make a good Reuben I'm out. This Reuben was one of the very best I've ever had!! The tater tots were not hot but they were ok. My husband ordered the walleye grilled and it looked delicious! He ate it all so my guess is he enjoyed it. I would absolutely visit this place again if I found myself in the area! read more

Great service and food. Every time we went from happy hour to Friday Fish night the food did not disappoint.

Every time I come here, there's only one waitress for all the tables. She has to take the orders, deliver the food, and clear the tables for the entire place. I hate the feeling of watching the waitress running ragged. It's not right. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday night happy hour. .75 wings. Very good. Got a top shelf bourbon and sprite. A solid, honest drink for $8. Great bartender. Give it a try. Nice staff. I paid much more for a whole lot less at The Hub on McDowell. You can see my review for 'The Hub'! You know the rule: -Screw me once, your fault. -Screw me twice, my fault! Cheers read more

A friend recommended JJ Madison's as a local place to go for something to eat. We arrived shortly before 9pm and opted to sit at the bar. We were saddened to find out that the grill shuts down at 9pm, but the bartender said that if we ordered something quickly, she could probably get it in for us. The bartender was awesome and very attentive! We ordered a chicken tender basket and shrimp basket. The food arrived fast and hot. The shrimp basket was very basic. It wasn't phenomenal, but definitely not horrible by any means. I was impressed with the french fries because I don't generally like battered fries. The chicken tenders were impressive. They weren't your typical flat chicken tender strips. These were massive! The tater tots were perfect. I felt that the pricing was quite reasonable for what we received. There was karaoke going on when we arrived. I very pleased with the fact that this places has some regulars that are impressive singers. Overall, I thought this was a good experience and I'd have no qualms in returning. read more

Was there this Friday 1/16. Normally very happy but lately service has been slow, My fish and onion rings were cool when received. Chicken pieces are very small compared to other years. If it was my first time I would not return. Waitress asked but left before anyone could mention about food. Will try again cause of last year's experience. read more

Bad - I guess we walked into new ownership - place was truly updated and looked great - it was 5:00 on Monday Night Football and there was one bartender - took 20 min to order food - got chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy - CFS was served with no gravy and gravy on the MP was like thick water - asked for gravy on the CFS and got the same watery gravy I'm sorry but it was bad - meat was not the "old school tenderized round steak" but just a piece of meat breaded and fried - but it was a truly bad experience! Bartender was great but had to work the whole floor and saw her every 15 to 20 minutes read more

We visited today and had our usual wings and string fries we asked for extra crispy wings and the place was busy as usual for 5pm as expected our food arrived in reasonable time and our wings were not hot or crispy they were slightly warm to the touch normally here and everywhere else I go I can't even pick up the chicken wing for a couple minutes until it cools down to a reasonable heat to enjoy this time it really disappointed me we didn't even finish our cold soggy skin wings we really love coming here on occasion and that experience doesn't make me feel like I'd like to come back :( just had me thinking about it and prompted me to send a review read more

Brunch food not so good. Potatoes greasy. I had eggs Benedict and the English muffin was microwaved. My husband's pancakes were burnt. Service was very slow, only two servers. Bloody Mary's too spicy. Sad. read more

Just too noisy to be able to enjoy my meal. I get that it's a sports bar but it did not have to be so loud. I had the Cowboy burger and subbed a grilled chicken patty for the beef. It was delicious! No good premium beers on tap so I had iced tea. Virginia, our server was great! Not a big fan of sports bars so won't return but my meal and Virginia's service was very good. Just too noisy!! read more

Saturday date night last month brought us back here and we settled in to enjoy our evening. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Our waitress was dismissive and almost rude. My husband ordered a Tall Jack and Coke. After asking our server about blended alcohol drinks, I ordered a Strawberry Daquiri, laughed, and said FULLY LOADED. His drink was served in a small glass. However, the refill later was served in a full size glass. I was served a virgin drink. The receipt for our meal stated virgin as well. I didn't say anything because I was just angry and it was small in the grand scheme of life. We asked our waitress about the same charge for both a short and tall glass at $5.65, she blew us off entirely and said the drinks were the same. Sorry, if you put Jack and Coke in a small glass, and you put more Coke and the same amount of Jack in a tall glass, there is a huge difference to the person enjoying that drink. My husband was disappointed. Our meals were good. I had a My Boy Blue burger, my husband had sliders. Both were very tasty, but hat stayed with me was the drink fiasco. read more

SLOW Service. The waitress is good! There were too many people for her to wait on in a timely fashion. We have been here a few times. This is always the case on each visit. Today we decided to leave after we'd waited 15 minutes and she had yet to approach our table. You need to hire someone to help her. Thanks read more

Best food in East Mesa! wonderful atmosphere, great service and a wide range on the menu. love this place! 5 stars doesn't say good enough about JJs. read more

Service and food were great. Nice place for a group. Never had anything bad to eat. Give it a try!

We wanted some good home-style dinner without cooking, and decided on a favorite, JJ Madison's. Boy, were we disappointed tonight. First of all, the site touts delivery from GH, UE and DD. JJ's is not on DD, and GH said it was closed for deliveries...on a Friday evening? UE had JJ's available. But boy, is the delivery offering limited! Being basically keto, I had a hard time finding food. They have a great menu, but it wasn't represented on the app. Mr P ordered the Philly Philly. He subbed a cup of soup for an additional charge. I ordered the Boston fish and chips. There were no desserts or beverages available. Weird. The Philly Philly had stale bread and what appeared to be yesterday's over-boiled thick roast beef. The soup didn't come. Only soggy fries. I get that this can occur in delivery, but they were sad. I would have taken a photo, but he picked it apart with disdain before I could. How dare they even say their fish and chips is like in Boston! Not a chance. I had put an order note that I would prefer veggies instead of chips, but obviously I couldn't. The fish and potato chips were super greasy. The only thing that was half-decent was the 1/8 cup of cole slaw accompaniment. I don't know if this is on UE or the business, but when I contacted app service, it wasn't "eligible for a refund". Why not? #1, I paid extra for soup that never came and #2, it was horrible and we didn't eat it. I should at least get refunded for what I didn't receive. I am disappointed that what is normally a great place was absolute garbage. Not sure we'll be back. Looks like they stopped caring about their output. read more

Worst customer service we've had in a long time! Started with server Kirsten. She seemed overwhelmed by a Saturday lunch crowd. We moved to the bar and were accosted by Gene the bartender! He demanded to know if we settled up with her. We did. All in an accusing almost angry tone!! We are 3 nice older ladies and just wanted a few drinks ! Never ever will I go there again!! I see now why they have barely 3 stars! read more

Between 5:30 and 6:00 pm last Wednesday we arrived for dinner at one of our favorite places to eat a Rueben sandwich. They have a great Rueben! The problem was Denise, the bartender. We had to wave a man behind the bar down to get our order in after waiting at least 10 mins. Denise not once came to check on us, ask if we needed anything or even give eye contact to us. Each time we needed something we had to wave someone down, usually the man, to get helped. The only person that was a professional was the young guy that brought us our food. He was polite, friendly and respectful. During our visit Denise was very friendly and accommodating to people she called by name. When Denise finally came over to us was when we paid and all she said to us was Thank you friends. If we get that bad of service there again, we will not be returning. We love their food but bad service is inexcusable. read more

We usually like JJ Madison's for dinner; but the last time we were there our food was served rather on the cold side. My husbands pork tenderloin sandwich and tater tots were cold. My chicken snack was not very hot and my tater tots were cold and greasy. They took my husbands meal back to be redone but when the tater tots came out the second time they were still cold. Service was okay but the server was overwhelmed by the number of patrons in the restaurant. Overall the establishment could use a really good cleaning of the windows. We probably won't be back. So sad as they have great breasted chicken when served hot. read more

Delicious broasted chicken and great Beer Battered Fried Alaskan Cod. The beer was really cold. Yummo!!!

This is a clean, pretty cool place to hang out for a few beers and some decent bar food. They pride themselves on their wings, which were great, with about a dozen flavors to choose from. However, the execution on the cook of the wings failed miserably, but the flavor profile on the wings were great. The chicken was nuked or should I say cooked way too hard. I was going to order the meatloaf but when I inquired as to when the meatloaf was cooked the waitress did not have a clue. That was a quick pass. My wife had the chicken fried steak which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was an ok experience overall. The service was cool and my salad was very fresh. read more

I came here for karaoke and the Bartender Zina was inattentive. She had ear buds in and I had to flag her down for a drink despite being 6 feet from her. This level of service is unacceptable. read more

The roasted chicken was very good as was the wings, we'll go back for those again! The French fries were the best I've had! The cod was also good and the short ribs were good but needed more gravy. The Bang bang shrimp would have been better with a little more spice. It is a sports bar so it is casual and loud at times. The downfall is poor service. When we walked in a sign said"seat yourself" so we did and sat for 15 minutes until we went looking for a waiter, once she came over she did apologize as she had the entire room to serve alone. They need more help as we had to wait so long even after we ordered our drinks. We will try again but if service doesn't improve we won't go back. read more

If you have never had Broasters chicken, you need to come here and try it, itis the best! Come and see Denise for excellent service!

We have been going to JJ Madisons for a few years now. Tonight the food was excellent, my burger was cooked perfectly and my wife's meatloaf was delish.

Will continuing enjoying this establishment in the future. read more
