Friendly staff, fair pricing, and cool ambience. The food itself was just mid. We all could have used a bit more seasoning in the variety of dishes our group got. It was ok, I might go back but not rushing to. read more

Another great experience today for lunch (we've done fam dinner, and dinner/karaoke girls night) consistently tasty! This place is a top fave! Party of 5 today-we got queso, wings, sweet potato fries, tacos and quesadillas ALL delicious! Clean and comfy inside and out, plenty of parking. Learning curve on ordering, but it's so EASY once u get the concept and staff are happy to help. read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar 05-31-24 Had lunch with family! Service was good. Not too busy. It's almost hard for me to order because of so many choices! Friendly atmosphere I had Beef & Chicken with Peppers and Onions with Avocado Ranch and Queso! They were so good. One of my grandsons had the Burrito Basket with Beef and Chicken and all the trimmings! It came with tortilla chips. The other grandson had The Burrito Basket with Brisket and Pulled Pork and all the trimmings! It came with Tortilla Chips. All the food was served fresh and hot! We also tried the Spicy Asian Wings. They had just enough spice and were meaty. I will get them again. read more

It took some trial and error, but I have decided I love JNeely's. They kept tricking me with their carnitas, which made it tough at first. Their carnitas are not carnitas, they are bbq style pulled pork. If you order the carnitas thinking you are getting carnitas, you will be disappointed, but once your brain pivots to pulled pork you'll probably be like "okay this is pretty good" (assuming you like pulled pork). Anyway, since I've learned not to order carnitas, I've been very pleased! I love the variety they have! It's like kind of similar to Chipotle or Qdoba where you mix and match proteins/toppings/serving styles, but they have extra options like quesadillas and a "secret" (well-publicized) menu. They also have bar fare! This leads me to the "ambiance" as Yelp so classily words it. I have yet to eat in, but every time I pick up food I think about how much I want to eat here! They have a whole menu of "bar fare" and a really nice looking bar. Happy hour is Mon - Fri from 12-6, which is a lot of happy hours. I don't know if my 2 month old wants to hang out at the bar, so it might be a bit before I can update my review to talk about eating in, but I'm looking forward to it! Oh, last thought - I love the way you order. I know it's probably not for everybody, but I have social anxiety and love the option to look over everything and customize my order without having to tell someone all my customizations because it always makes me feel awkward. I get exactly what I want and can experiment with different combos. read more

Terrible food and service I don't understand how this place is still in business definitely will not be back!

I've been here a few times and the food is so so. I came today and they had no soap in the men's room. That's a health good violation. Who knows how long that has been the case. They took their dear sweet time to fix that. I'm not coming back again. read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar - Ribeye rice bowl! - Bars Near Me - Belton, Texas

Food was delicious. Real cool vibe in here. Staff was good. Drinks were great. It's like a DeLuxe Burrito place.

The concept is great, the menu items and dish ideas are on point. The services could be a bit better. This doesn't and shouldn't reflect manners. The entire staff is friendly. The negatives here would be organization and cleanliness of the dining area, quality of food, and price. Everything that makes a great restaurant. read more

I took a client here for lunch at his request, he told me that the spot would be a good meeting place. This spot was the right spot because not only did they serve burritos but also alcohol. The food was great and the service was fast and friendly. read more

So we've given this place a few tries and I've decided that on this final attempt I needed to post a review. I honestly hate giving a local business a bad review, but I'm hoping this will inspire some changes. The staff is never friendly. Now, they aren't rude per SE but they aren't inviting. It's difficult to tell who is running the restaurant and the overall aesthetic is just kind of awful. Once you get past that, the antiquated way of ordering your food isn't great. You write it down yourself on a small menu and submit it to someone at the register. While it's kind of unique, it's more so lacking in feeling like this place cares about its patrons. The food is delivered upon being ready. We had 4 people eating and everyone got their food at different times, none of it very hot. The rice in my burrito was crunchy and the over taste was bland. Believe it or not I will eat most meals without complaint, but I didn't even finish my food. That's a rarity for me. Honestly I just figured I would eat something at home later. To top it off another customer's small child spilled a drink near the entrance and the customer cleaned it up by himself. I'm all for accountability, but he's dealing with an upset child, so maybe some training in customer service is needed. This is my first review where I felt the need for a picture. Honestly, this place looks and feels like it would be featured on Restaurant Impossible. I'm hoping things change, but until they do I won't be coming back. read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar - Burrito, chips, salsa, Guacamole - Bars Near Me - Belton, Texas

Went here for our first date night in Temple away from our toddler and it was just what we needed. Chill vibes with the bar slightly to the side for people who just want to come for a drink. Lots of TVs with games on from different angles. Food is easy to order on a tablet. Indoor & outdoor seating. Staff greeted us and was happy to help and even asked how we liked the food. My husband and I shared the 8 piece wings and build your own nachos and they were great, especially the wings and fries. We got ground beef on the nachos, which was a bit dry, may just try a different meat next time. The food was served to us promptly. I wish I got pics but I am pregnant...so I dug right in. Women's bathroom was clean and spacious with a soft changing table if you brought your little one. Cleaning supplies were out so if you brought your kiddo in with you, that may be a hazard. Overall great food & service. We finished it all and we were full. Definitely will return! read more

I hate writing negative reviews, but I'm hoping this will help provide feedback for improvement. The first thing that turned me way off was the roach on the floor. Someone had stepped on it, but it was left on the floor. The burrito was large, but underwhelming in quality. The rice and meat were crunchy/hard, there was not a lot of flavor, and it wasn't even hot when it came out (the inside was barely warm). It wasn't busy, so I really don't have an excuse for the lack of appropriate temperature. Skip out on the dessert as well. It tasted old and gross. Overall a really disappointing experience for the cost. This is a place we won't come back to. Sorry guys! read more

9/27/2024 my first time trying it out. I drive by all the time, and honestly it was a nice stop. This place reminds me of an elevated Chipotle, ( but JNeely's food tastes better). The restaurant is clean, very modern interior. Cute decor. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I ordered the steak tacos; comes with rice and beans in the price. I will say it is a very good price for 3 tacos INCLUDING rice and beans. Plus a drink, my total was $14. Not too bad. My food tasted great, it was stacked with all my toppings. I do wish the steak was chopped up a little more; cubes are hard to eat on a taco. The only real problem I had was the beans; it was heavily flavored with black pepper, but to the point where that's all I tasted. It felt like I was just eating black pepper out of a jar. Otherwise, I think the food is pretty good and I will definitely come back to try other things on the menus. read more

I have been here a few times in the past and have enjoyed the food...in the past, not the present. I picked out the items for my burrito and also ordered wings because I never had the wings before. The food took over 20 minutes to come to the table, we were the only customers who ordered, and one table got their order before us. The burritos were huge and warm which was a good sign, and the chips and salsa were good. The burrito that I ordered was not the burrito that I got, items were missing from it. The pork carnitas tasted of pulled pork, smokey and that was the only flavor of the burrito, none of the other items on it had any flavor at all. Then I got my wings and fries, and they looked good...looked good indeed. I took a fry and popped it into my mouth, and it tasted of nothing but oil, no flavor except oil. The wings could have used a bit more sauce, but not too bad at all, looked meaty, and then a bite of it. The wing was so dry, it was like eating a stick, I had to have a drink to get it down. The next one was not as dry, but not good at all. I enjoyed the chips and salsa the most, and would not recommend the food here at all, unless you want quantity instead of quality. read more

Do you like nachos? Do you like to customize your own nachos ? How about a nacho plate so big that two people cannot finish. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for nacho, nacho bowls or wings. The wings were so buttery even with a dry rub. read more

Great and tasty food. I've had several things here and it all tastes good. nice quiet atmosphere, but you can socialize too. There is a small bar area towards the back. The way it works is you customize your dish on a paper and then you hand it in to the cashier. They bring it to you once it's ready. I had a bowl , chicken I believe with cilantro sauce. read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar - Bars Near Me - Belton, Texas

The food was awesome! Brisket was super tasty. The lady at the register was super helpful and friendly. The lady bringing our food to us on the other hand was not very friendly and seemed very inconvenienced at any question we asked her. The cooks were knowledgeable and helpful when we asked if a certain item had gluten. The ambiance was weird. The bar area seemed like standing room only. There was a huge table put together that said "reserved" but when happy hour ended like 4 people came over and sat at the huge table "reserved" for like 12 or more people. Not a huge dining area especially when one big table is reserved and only four people sit at it. There's an okay amount of two tops and four tops, but when you're a family of five and get snubbed for asking the server a question...makes for a bitter environment. Food was delicious and I'm hoping the table situation was just a one time thing. We will be back to give it another shot. read more

Good meal. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES!! Charges 3.5% extra on Credit Cards. Way to "piss-off" you customers who don't like to carry cash!! As a merchant myself... I understand Card Processing Companies are a rip off. DON'T charge your customers extra. Just raise your prices to cover the charge. ID-Ten-T read more

I can't believe it has taken me this long to go here. Went on a Monday to get their margarita deal! All the staff is amazing and friendly. I decided to do a "build your own" bowl and loved it. Prices are fair! I definitely want to come back to try more of the menus! read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar - Nachos with Carnitas - Bars Near Me - Belton, Texas

See all

The service is always friendly and the staff makes you feel like family. It's a bar and a "check the box" food establishment. Our order has been jumbled on the check the box part at times but it's usually with them putting better meat on our plates. We live nearby and frequent the establishment a couple times a month. The ingredients taste fresh and the offerings are good. Happy hour attracts is usual customers and finding seating can be a challenge. They have a very nice outdoor patio area and with nice weather I suspect it will be a pleasant place to eat. read more

Ordered food for take out during the height of the pandemic. Not one food preparer is wearing a mask! They were standing shoulder to shoulder. Cashier greeted us without a mask. Threw out food due to safety reasons. Will never order here again!!! read more

The food was ok. Freebirds and Moe's are both better. Took 20 minutes for them to make a burrito when the restaurant was near empty. Staff is in severe need of supervision, could not tell if there was even a manager on site. It wasn't bad but I certainly will not be back. Did not have the charm or care a locally owned restaurant should have. read more

We were super excited to eat here but upon ordering our food and paying, we noticed the cook eating in the kitchen where the food is prepared. He wasn't wearing gloves and COUGHED into his hands and went on preparing food. My mother in law spoke up about it and he actually asked "do you want me to wash my hands?" So if you're looking for a place where the cooks eat in the kitchen while preparing food, don't wear gloves, and don't have any common hygiene sense to wash their hands, then we totally recommend this place. Won't be going back. read more

I like the vibe the place offers; covered out door patio and an open air type bar. Ordering was like filling out a Powerball ticket (color in the bubble for the ingredients you want). James, the bartender, was nice and attentive. I ordered a ribeye burrito with a sun-dried tomato infused tortilla. It was tasty; but, the steak was grisly and the burrito itself was cold. The bigger complaint: my wife was served her dish about 10 minutes prior to mine. So, she attempted to wait so we could eat together; but, her taco meal also turned cold quickly. As mentioned, I like the vibe (bathrooms needed attention tho - trash overflowing and sink/commode could use a rinse down). I'll try it again. But, I'll order a different protein and will remind them to please serve us together... read more

Never been to this building before, I was pleasantly surprised by the nice staff and great food. Would recommend it to anyone passing by, and I surely would come back here again. Thank you for this nice dinner, Jneely's. read more

Really good burrito. I am a little surprised by the low star reviews. I will say that I ate here like 2:30 on a weekday so they were slow and didn't have pressure from a busy dining hall. Ill say the location and space were ok, the decor/design was good but the way you order your food does not flow very well. I could see so problems arising when it is busy. I will definetly be back and you should give it a try! read more

Atmosphere was quite welcoming and burrito was decent. Would go back to try the nachos.

Finally tried this place out and am really glad I did. The choices are selective but the food is great. Service was quick, enough time to get settled and get a drink from the bar. (I will say the high top bar stools just aren't big enough to sit on with out continually sliding off what seat area the chair does have; and I'm not a big person.) bottom line this place offers a great spin on burritos and tacos with fresh ingredients that taste amazing. I highly recommend; beware busy nights this place gets packed so come early or an off day. read more

JNeely's Burrito Bar - Bars Near Me - Belton, Texas

Always excellent food and service. This is our go to place for quick burritos or nachos. The Jneeley sauce is highly recommended!!

I was attracted to this restaurant by the beautiful patio and bar. I thought it would be a great place to go for a date night or even out for drinks with friends after work. I hate to give a one star anywhere but if you cannot make a margarita correctly and the food is sub-par and employees complain about the owner and management then something is not right. Margarita was made by pouring lime juice, tequila, and sour mix into a cup with ice and serve to me with a lime. (why it wasn't shaken I have no idea....) After that drink I didn't order anymore. Beer Selection - your typical generic beers. This is a small local town, I would expect some Texas beers, or even Bold Republic Brewing since its right down the road. I would love to come back when things are more organized . read more

The concept of this restaurant is novel and the flow is great. The options were fantastic and easy to understand. The salsa was okay not exceptional, the queso was good. I paid with cash to get the free chips and salsa but I have to say the chips and salsa were not better than the 3% I would have gotten back from my credit card. I didn't mind as I know that cash is better for the business and they did offer an option for cash, which was nice. We went when it was not too busy and our food took a little longer than expected as someone that ordered after us got their order before we got our food. We ordered two different burritos and they were good but left our stomachs unsettled for the evening and the next day. Whatever they used in their ingredients impacted my wife and I. I thought it was the queso which we both eat, however I did not eat all of my burrito and brought it home. My son asked if he could finish it and I said yes. He tried it but it was too spicy for him so he ate the remaining part of his mother's burrito. The next day he get just like us. There was something that did not sit well with us. We are not drinkers and this place is really set up for the eaters and drinkers crowd. Not bad but not great for us, which is why I gave it 3 stars. read more

Update to my previous review. We love this place now! My husband and I are regulars. We come every Sunday for a Mexican Martini and sometimes a burrito bowl. Those are soooo good! Highly recommend trying this place if you haven't been here! read more

I don't know why this place has "meh" ratings! Food was great, drinks were great, service was great, and music/environment was great! The shrimp tacos were delicious and it's hard to beat a few Dos Equis... top those off with great music and service, absolutely no complaints. They have great happy hour deals and live music on Thursday. Great name too!!! JKNeely (not affiliated, tho I wish I was) read more

Chips and queso was equivalent to a high school football game nachos and cheese order. Food not worth the visit, Burrito was not fresh and qalulity of food can be predicted by the kitchen producing it. Save your money and go to the Taqueria down the street. read more

Tasty! Great waffle fries! Sopapilla cheesecake is great! Order by marking a menu paper and they fix you right up! Not huge but very filling and just like you ordered!
