    Mexican Scramble
    Marianne C.

    Went here for brunch with some friends. We all lived nowhere near this spot but somehow ended here. They have regular American and Mexican breakfast/lunch option. I opted for their Mexican scramble which came a choice of tortillas or toast then topped with slices of avocado. It was flavorful and very well could make two decent dice breakfast burrito. Service was efficient, and fast. Our food came out pipping hot and fresh looking. The space shared a room from a banquet hall which I think they rent for bigger events. The two rooms can be combined or split with a barn like sliding door in the middle of a big space. This place is an option for brunch if you are in the area.

    Went for pancakes, left beyond satisfied. JJ's is very spacious and has some very delicious food. No wait time, menu very straightforward I can see myself going here a lot for a quick breakfast.

    My search for the best chilaquiles in Dallas is now complete! JJ's delivers with excellent flavor, perfectly cooked food and exceptional service. I will go back soon!

    Staff were helpful Food was okay the chicken tasted like can chicken Inside of the place was okay maybe a little older.

    Caramel macchiato
    Ailynn A.

    The wait time for two people on a Sunday was ~20min. We were sat at 12:55 and left the restaurant at 2:11. We felt the food took a while to come out, and so did the check once we asked to pay. I ordered the caramel macchiato which was basically diabetes in a cup. I couldn't drink even half of it. My boyfriend had asked for water as a refill and was brought back another horchata which was not free and not communicated. The food was ok. I ordered the red chilaquiles with birria. The meat portion wasn't enough, and the sauce was not a level 3 spice. Seemed more like a level 1 to me. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, which were not flavordu We shared a plate of the tres leches pancakes, but they were a bit dry. No syrup was provided and frankly, we didn't want to wait another 5min for them to bring that by. I wouldn't come back in all honesty. I was extremely disappointed to have paid $61 for an experience that felt inconvenient.

    Tres Leches Pancakes

    Came here on Mother's Day so they were busy but we made reservations and waited maybe 20 minutes to be seated. The staff were nice and checked up on us. Our food came out warm/cooled down but the waffle n chicken was good still. The tres leches pancake was the highlight!!

    Great food and amazing service! Will definitely come back to visit when I come back to Dallas. Lol, the food looked so good I forgot to take a before picture!

    Chicken and Waffles
    Raquel M.

    This place was busy early! We got there around 8:30am on Sunday. It was very roomy. I enjoyed the attentive service. I would not get the chorizo and egg again, just wasn't flavorful. The beans were very good! And the potatoes obrian was more onions & bell pepper than potatoes. The chicken& waffles were AMAZING! we really enjoyed the waffles. Also got a side of bacon & eggs, sooo delicious

    We got Hevos Rancheros and Huevos Divorciados with Carmel macchiato
    Amy C.

    Super nice we got there and waited 45 minutes for a wait and we got are food fast it was super busy but really good food and good customer

    Chilaquiles Verdes with side of avocado. It was delicious!! Highly recommend!

    The coffee was yummy. The chilaquiles verde was so tasty and yummy. We also got the crepes. Highly recommend this place!!

    Chilaquiles Verdes and Tres Leches Pancakes with strawberries and bananas

    This place never misses! Our go to, exceptionally delicious, every time breakfast spot. Be prepared for crowds on the weekends, but the food is always well worth the wait.

    Chilli quilles and eggs and hash brown with a side of toast
    Victoria D.

    Service was great food had flavor and I liked how they had lots of alternatives but some of the food like chili quesllies sauce was cold my husband didn't like that at all but in all everything was great

    Menudo with patas and corn tortillas or bolillo
    Robert M.

    Drove the 30+ minutes specifically for their menudo. Possibly best I've ever had. Tipico's is a close second in taste but wins out in both distance (from me) as well as offering menudo daily, not just Saturday and Sunday. But if you're near JJ's, then by all means go! Big place. Busy. Decent service. Extensive menu with a good variety!

It is so beautiful inside and the service was incredible. I don't think my water cup ever got past half empty. Shout out to the water service. As for food, of course we started with the deviled eggs because that's what was recommended to us. They absolutely lived up to the hype and I'm dreaming about the next time I will eat these. The waitress recommended the lemon caper chicken to me and it was perfectly lightly breaded, and I'm not a huge fan on grits but loved these. The consistency was nice. My husband had the pork chop and he said it was very good. It was also ginormous. We finished off the mule with a flourless espresso chocolate cake, which hit the spot.

    The name of the game is food. And I'm a superstar. I don't think I'm particularly picky, but I can…read morebe. Where it counts. Which is food. Sometimes things win and sometimes things lose. In the end, we all just try to tally up the wins and losses and try our best to rate a restaurant. This is my story. Usually when traveling, I try to get in a smattering of different genres of food. Mostly because I tire easy. Like when walking. I also try to get in some of the best things I like. Which are burgers. And wings. I'm also kind of a sucker for wildly long names of things. Which is exactly where good friend beer garden and burger house comes in. I really dug the look of the place. Open concept with the outside, outdoor seating, cool lighting ambiance. Just a really cool vibe and feel. Like a dorm room after your freshmen year. You know, once you get everything figured out and you aren't bunking with that weirdo with all the waifu pictures hanging up and FaceTimes with his cat. I will say though, the only weird drawback this place had was it was DARK on the inside. Never really had that problem before. Wouldn't have been an issue had I remembered my headlamp, but I left it back in the mines. And in all honesty, I don't care too much about the state of the building around me as long as the food hits hard. I was pumped about the wings as they seemed to have an assortment of flavors. I ordered four and thinking back, I can't remember why. Maybe that was the minimum, maybe you could only order in increments of four. Nobody really knows at this point and I'm way too far away to drive back and ask. So, four wings. You were able to split the sauces. Not like atoms, but like different flavors. This is food, not science. So, like a good CERN scientist, I requested split sauce. I inquired about the KFC flavoring and the server told me it was a rub and their version of secret blend of herbs and spices. I'm not a fan of rubs simply because if I'm going to eat wings, I want them saucy and messy. Like my relationships. BUT he said, and I quote "it's really good." That was all I needed to hear. Sign me up. After the rub I knew I needed a sauce. I settled with the Mild because it seemed like a good middle of the road. Man. Sometimes you do wings right and sometimes you do wings RIGHT. The KFC rub was 100% top tier rub. It wasn't a light rub which I've experienced before, it was a full on flavor soak. Make no mistake, you were going to experience that rub flavor. It was so good if I accidentally got some on my fingers, I'd just have nubs left. The Mild sauce was also top tier. Although I will say it seemed a few steps above a mild sauce. It was like a Low to Mid Hot sauce wearing a Mild sauce mask. Like the kind your mom and dad used to wear at those parties you weren't allowed to go to. Oh, and the wings had that chef's kiss crunch and that chiefs kiss juiciness. 10/10 want to experience these wings again in a Groundhog's Day setting. Now let's talk burger. I have found that I love smash burgers. I have not figured out yet how to make a delicious one myself, so I rely on the skill of others. Much like everything else in my life. Except dentistry. I do that myself. Castaway style. I ordered the Bourdain which included the patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and Kewpie mayo. Not sure what that last one is, but I like condiments on my burg, so sign me up. I'll let you in on a little secret, I used to make burgs for the Bee's back in my heyday. And a little deeper secret, I can't remember how we stacked them. That being said, when I make my personal burgers, everything is on top of the burger. I'll sometimes do a condiment or two on the bottom, but I have no real methodology. In my mind, you want that patty to hit those taste buds first. No middle man. Like the lawyer you kept having to talk to when trying to figure out which parent you wanted to live with. The Bourdain burger did the exact opposite with this burger. It had the lettuce and pickle as a buffer between meat and tongue. And honestly, I think that might have been what turned me off to the burger. I patties had good flavor, but it felt like it came in too late because I tasted toppings first. In my burger mind, this hurt more than it helped. Side Note: Fries were good. The spicy ranch would peel the paint off of any car, spot weld iron beams, and melt through your hand without protective gloves. It's hurting my mouth to even write this. PS Sorry for the sideways photos. I hate that, too. Chicken Wings: 12/10 Burger: 7/10 Spicy Ranch: Please Don't

We brought our dog bc the patio is dog friendly (it is also smoking friendly so you can make your own choice on that!) We ordered the French 75 and the Police and Thieves (I think that's the same- it has celery infused gin) and they were both great! Then we ordered the katsu fries and the fried olives, I personally a not even a huge olive lover but it was so different I wanted to try! And again, it was so yummy! The sauce on the fries was a little spicy and the olives had so much flavor! I think both would be good apps for a group! I want to try the smash burger and the Nashville hot chicken next so TBD! We also had great servers, shout out to Charity and Maddie, long story short- we will come back, we have to check out karaoke!

    So my coworker invited us out here. This was my first time at this location. We decided to go here…read moreafter work. It is right off of Garland Road. It is a black building. You will miss it, but I have to say this is a bar like they say don't judge a book by its cover cause when I pulled up, I was like, where am I, but when I opened the door, wow, it was terrific. The vibe is on point. They have a big karaoke stage. They do game nights. They do a Mario Party or Mario Kart night, and they have a happy hour. They have a game room in the back with darts, pool tables, and a few arcades that offer free play. I mean, this place was amazing. We came on Friday after work. I got the cocktail. I can't remember the name, but it was a celery gin-infused cocktail. It was on point, delicious. My coworker got another cocktail that had mezcal in it. This cocktail was so good, the way it was made. It was just delicious. We also ordered the umami pretzels with a three different dipping sauce, a mustard and apple type of sauce and I can't remember the other one, but I highly recommend this as a starter the sauces were so good and everything so I really wanna go back and try the food because the bartender was telling us that they just opened up in August they have a chef a new person there and so I'm really excited to try some of the food that they have there overall it was an amazing experience love the vibe you need to check them out like I said if you don't pay attention, you will drive past them so I highly recommend this bar. I can't wait to go back.
