For a pub, this place is ok. Family of 6 ate well. This is the only other place in town other than pizza or Subway. I got the Salmon in Pineapple Curry. I was disappointed that it didn't have more curry flavor, but the pineapple sauce was sweet and the salmon was ok. Blackened on the bottom but still pulled apart with a fork well. Their garlic mashed didn't have enough garlic. Wife had crab spinach stuffed haddock. She was satisfied. Kids got Mac and cheese, yes, Kraft Mac-n-Cheese. Overall, small portions across the table. I would normally rate this a 2 star, but this is the best place for not having pizza in the area. read more

We came here for lunch and split 2 sandwiches. We were there about 2 so definitely off hours but the service was good as was the food. Also, it was heck of a deal. Gave us a 10% discount because we were staying at the hotel next door. Very reasonable prices and a wide selection on the menu. read more

service was great and food was good. I ordered the southwest salad with steak and it was very good. Husband ordered the Haddock and loved it. read more

Stopped on a snowy day for a quick bite. Corn chowder was nicely spicy in a southwestern style (colorful taco strips on top). Chicken wings were cajun spiced and very enjoyable. Definitely wirth another trip. read more

This is one of the best restaurants ever. A special treat were the Buffalo chicken rangoons, a perfect of Asian pastry and Buffalo's trademark chicken. The shrimp Milano - fat shrimp, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach in a light delicious sauce - and one of the day's specials, an Italian style steak, made this a perfect meal. Even the loaf of bread we were served was as close to perfect as possible. We will return. read more

Broccoli and cheddar stuffed chicken with double mashed potatoes(instead of vegetables ). For an appetizer I asked to upgrade the regular fried sampler from regular chicken fingers to buffalo an the potato skins to potato skins with steak terryaki. The waiter was extremely pleasant and said yes to all my upgrades with a smile. :) read more

Good stuff here. I love the clam chowder. I was a commerical fisherman on the Cape and dug up many clams since a boy as well. This place has some of the best NE clam chowder out there. read more

After touring Mt. Washington for a few hours, this was a great place to stop in for a hearty lunch. Traveling alone, I was greeted by a hostess who seated me right away and the waitress joined at the table shortly thereafter. The waitress was super helpful and attentive. I ordered an item from the list of "specials", the Maine Lobster Roll on a butter/toasted Brioche, with a side of hand cut fries, the Lobster salad was extremely fresh and tasty. read more

We were in NH for 3 nights we chose Jays because it was convienent to our hotel. The food was great, my son had the Jays chicken sandwich special, which he said was excellent. My husband and I had the bacon cheddar burger which was also excellent . The second night we ate there again, I had the Jays chicken sandwich special it was excellent and my son had the salmon which he also said was great ! read more

Nice little spot in a small town. The service was excellent, kind and helpful. Atmosphere is clean and inviting. It is good for groups or like me by myself for business. I ordered the award winning clam chowder and it was spot on! Then I followed with the seafood trio and could tell all was fresh seafood. Large portions and a great price in my opinion for what was given! read more

Went there during lunch on a Sunday. The place wasn't crowded. There is plenty of parking. The wait staff girls were very nice. I can find anything bad to say about this place. Ordered a lobster roll and clam strips because the sign outside said so. We were glad we got it because the food was very fresh. It was worth it. Gorham was a hard place to find good places to eat while we were visiting. We were glad that this is gonna be our go to place when we visit mt. Washington next time. read more

I had the baked scallops, and they were delicious. The pilaf was delicious. The homemade bread was delicious. I don't care for green beans. I have to give them five stars because I don't see a lot of room for improvement. read more

Nice place to get a quick bite to eat. Portion and price were reasonable as well as tasty!

Great food and fast service (how often can you say that?)...creamy New England clam chowder was unbelievable, and my son ate all of his sauteed green beans before anything else on his plate. Burgers were juicy, and the portion sizes were spot-on! Will definitely come back! read more

My husband and I walked into J's a little late for dinner (8:30pm on Saturday) not knowing what to expect, and were pleasantly surprised. J's is primarily a steak & seafood restaurant, and while the menu doesn't have a ton of choices, there was enough variety there in those categories for us both to find something we really wanted. Shared a tasty chicken wing appetizer with chili sauce. The BBQ ribs special was very good; I almost ordered the steak tips but was not disappointed with my choice. The baked potato wasn't very large, but with those ribs to eat, who needs a large baked potato? My husband had the salmon and reported it quite good; we both had the corn on the cob on the side as well. Its sweetness was just fine on its own; no need for butter or salt! The service was excellent; I noticed our waitress glancing over to see how we were doing a couple of times, and I never found myself wanting for anything or waiting for her to show up. Enjoyed their beer on tap list; it's nice to see a local restaurant offering some local beers, and I always have a soft spot for Switchback on tap. We splurged on dessert, and that was tasty as well -- chocolate cream pie for me; cheesecake for him; both of us were happy. Overall, we left happy and pleased; we'll definitely come back. read more

Awesome food awesome crew, aaron was awesome, must stop if u r in Gorham. Coolest spot in Gorham read more

Unbelievable fish chowder last night. Mussels always fresh and tasty. The missus loves the Southwestern salad and that cool homemade dressing. Service on the money. We're picky about seafood but when we come up from Joisey every other month we always hit J's for some good chow and warm vibes...Bob n Jeanne from Point Pleasant Beach read more

Great food all fresh. Order the pot pie or steak potato skins for appetizers. Great service as well, friendly staff.

Five stars for the clam chowder alone! There were so many different notes that you would taste individually. Best chowder I have had, and just what I was looking for on my first trip to New England. On top of that, the turkey artichoke sandwich was delicious. My next visit would be at dinner time in an effort to get more atmosphere, it was very quiet for lunch. read more

Outstanding baked stuffed haddock (we live is Searsport ME) and an excellent Chicken Pot pie. Great little joint.

Volunteering up here, I've eaten here approximately once a summer for the past few years. While their menu is pretty extensive, everything is super-greasy; I can't eat more than a handful of fries for fear of extreme digestion problems. Burgers, appetizer-type things, salads...all typical food, but for the area, better than the Pizza Slut down the road, or the few other restaurants there. Interior very upstate NH with lights, beer posters, a bar and wooden accents, it's pretty classic. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had at a restaurant. I am here on vacation with my kids, and I think we are eating here again tonight!

If you are in the area, I highly recommend this establishment. The dinner we had was perfect. Do yourself a favor and order the raspberry cheesecake. It was out of this world!! read more

Really good food and service! The stuffed clams, ruben, haddock sandwich were all great choices. No complaints at all! This was a good place to stop at read more

I'm confused by the poor ratings on the other reviews. I come here once a summer on my annual trip to NH and have always been exceptionally pleased with the food. Perhaps the food is just a bit variable. read more

We were quite disappointed in this restaurant. The food was underwhelming at best. We both had pasta dishes that were significantly under seasoned. Both were missing salt; mine had multiple vegetables but they didn't add much. The sun-dried tomatoes had all the flavor soaked or boiled out of them. The sauce had undercooked lumps of flour. My husband 's fettuccini Alfredo was missing salt and cheese, although we could detect the faintest scent of cheese. read more

Great fisherman's stew. A busy place, lots of locals, friendly bartender. Your basic 'where I would go regularly if I lived here' place

Great service! Didn't have to wait long for our food and burgers were so yummy! Great price for food also.

Took the kids here and for the money it was a great meal. The clam chowder was awesome, and I have had many bowls in my life. Prices we good and no one had a bad meal. The waitress was very nice and we had a good time. read more

Don't let the exterior fool you, this place has good food. I had a delicious homemade clam chowder and a huge grilled chicken sandwich served on what appeared to be a local bakery bun. Great service and good prices as well. No wonder this joint is so packed. read more

this is the place to go after a long day of riding the trails or just to have a quiet dinner. we have sat in the restaurant as well as at the bar to have dinner many times this summer and fall. never once had a problem, great food, fast service, quiet-yet friendly. tired another place to eat the other night and was highly disappointed in the service and the food! when headed to gorham or berlin nh make sure you stop in for a bite to eat and a few drinks at j"s. always a great place and excellent employees. way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kudo's to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mary old orchard beach, maine read more

We were looking for a nicer place for a celebration dinner and J's was at the price point we were looking for. The service was average. We had a buffalo chicken rangoon appetizer which sounded really innovative but tasted weird and had no discernable chicken in it. I had a grilled veggie sandwich with clam chowder and my husband had a club with chili, both for $10. Both of the sandwiches were fine. We weren't excited about them, but the pesto on the veggie was pretty good. Both soups had the most bizarre, unidentifiable taste. We literally could not finish. It might've been good at 1/2 the price, but we were let down. Avoid the soup. read more

Hot sandwiches are decent. Buffalo Rangoon's are the best tasting appetizer on the menu.

Tried on a whim and reviews. BEST handout fries. Service was amazing and everyone was friendly

Always consistent in the quality of their food. Good variety. Great portions. Good martini and wide draft beer selection. Interior just redone and looks great. Thursday night live music is a great addition. Definitely worth stopping for. Buffalo rangoons are excellent. Family friendly read more

Not really worth the money or the time. The food was bland and greasy. Subway would have been more satisfying, and we do not like subway.

Definitely a local's spot. Service was friendly, but not somewhere I would visit unless in the area. My husband had the cool ranch wrap and was disappointed it has nothing to do with cool ranch Doritos. The fries looked a bit strange but tasted okay. I had the "famous" clam chowder which was decent but nothing fancy. The biggest miss was the drinks. We ordered bloody Mary's and they were flavorless. read more

We ate here on Presidents' Day weekend. It was convenient because we were staying next door. It's a nice little restaurant that had good drinks but dinner was a little lacking. The bread that was served hot had the texture of bread that was just microwaved, it was tough. We both got the steak tips. We were expecting regular steak tips but this appeared to just be cut up small pieces of steak. The marinade was ok. The service was ok, I really felt like we were left waiting while the waitress hung back. Probably wouldn't go back again for dinner. read more

Ordered the "award winning" clam chowder, the pot pie and the pork chop. I'm not sure which awards it's won, but every slurp of the hot, creamy chowder was absolutely delicious and boasted a respectable amount of clam. The pot pie was large and hearty, with generous hunks of tender, white-meat chicken mingling with a colorful medley of veggies in a dense, gravy-like broth. Its golden, buttery crust was smooth, shimmering, thick and flaky, and crept over the sides of the bowl like a proper pot-top. One whack of my spoon cracked that beautiful crust open, unleashing ribbons of aromatic steam. The cranberry relish served alongside it was the perfect foil to balance the pie's rich and savory goodness with a touch of sweet, subtly tart coolness. The pork chop was fat (but not fatty), juicy and grilled to perfection, with just enough glaze to compliment its flavor without overwhelming it. Come to think of it, the cranberry relish may very well have been meant for the pork chop. Regardless, it didn't need it. The restaurant's ambiance is unpretentious and convivial. The service was quick and excellent. read more

Food over cooked Service was reasonable. Had chicken parmigiana and chicken was burnt, noodles were dry. Chicken fingers burnt
