This is definitely not a place that I would have traveled to especially based on the mixed reviews. I seen a post on Instagram by an influencer that I follow and so it was on my radar. I happen to be in the area for family reason. I figured if I didn't try this now I probably never would get an opportunity so I gave it a shot. If you're traveling to this area this is not exactly an upscale shopping experience area. This is technically a hole in the wall Burger restaurant the area is a little sketch but definitely safe enough to go and feed your family. This is an old school burger place. They got tons of other food as well and breakfast and so on. The menu is pretty extensive. There was no lineups no wait and that's usually a bad sign but they took my order right away and prepped it and we got out of there within 5 minutes. At the drive-thru. Crinkle cut fries that were tasty maybe just a little tad too oily but they were really good french fry and a generous portion. I came for the burger and I got the triple cheeseburger and wow wow that was a handful. You could tell it was freshly cooked Char-Broiled and a good amount of cheese. It was a bit greasy but hey if you're eating a hamburger it's supposed to be greasy if you're looking for fancy Foo Foo Burger this ain't your place. This is for Burger connoisseures. It had a really good taste to it and a huge portion. This isn't your tiny.in and out burger . This is some old school huge Burger. It looked like it would fill you and it did. It had a really good taste to it and it had some nice grease stripping from it you know that it was made with good quality beef and not a frozen Patty. I was definitely impressed at the quality of the burger. This isn't your local chain burger. It definitely was good value for the money . read more

My husband had been craving for a pastrami sandwich the last few weeks. He recently stumbled upon a social media ad for Mr, J's Char Burgers, so we went to go check them out. My family and I stopped by on a weekday at lunch, and there were barely any customers. We decided to order through the drive through. Service was friendly and extremely fast. Their menu is extensive and, as first time visitors, we had a ton of questions. The woman on the other end of the speaker was patient with us as we tried to finalize their orders. Our ordered consisted of - 2 Pastrami Burgers - 1 order of the value Chili cheese fries The pastrami burger was fine. It wasn't extraordinary but also wasn't awful. It was a solid burger with good pastrami. The fries were fried crispy and the chili had good flavor with a bit of a kick. Unfortunately, immediately after this meal and through the next day, my husband and I contracted some sort of stomach bug. It was such a shame because we wanted to love them and possibly revisit. We could have just come in an off day, but we're not willing to take the risk to come back and re-contract whatever we got from our meal. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally was able to come In. The food is so good, I got a pastrami and a small order of chili cheese fries. The pastrami was plentiful and juicy and the chili fries are the best I've ever had ! We will definitely be coming back, when my kids tell me they want to come back I know the food has to be good. The staff was very nice very polite and helpful with all the questions I was asking read more

Overpriced greasy food! I'm very upset with myself for giving them a 5th try , because boy did they disappoint today. I had to drive back to the store to pick up my $19 dollar pastrami , meanwhile all my food is getting cold at home. The bags of food had spilled ranch containers all over the fries, the chili cheese fries are so greasy that the juice leaked out and got all ocer the other food containers and drenched the napkins. The last time I came here I ordered a quesadilla and it was so nasty. The meat was hard and dry, the cheese was gross and hard. I had to chew my quesadilla a lot just to eat it. The time before that, I ordered a pastrami, which was really good and that is what I ordered the first 2 times I came here. The thid time I ordered a deep fried burrito and was shocked to find out it was the size of those tiny frozen Tina's burritos you get from the grocery store. No wonder it was 7 bucks, because the full sized burritos are double the price. I wanted to give them another try after that because my family liked their burgers, chili fries, and pastrami sandwiches. Boy that was a mistake too. I ordered taquitos and those were nasty too. They were like the frozen taquitos you can buy from the grocery store too. Nasty. I'm never ever going to make the mistake of ordering from Mr. J'S AGAIN! read more

Now now now... this place is good they're better than Tams which is down the street . But good god are they expensive the portions are nothing to write home about. It's super dark from the outside you never know if they're open. They have so much on the menu I think they'd be really good if they just focused on a few items Ave ditch all the filler menu items. Service is always good. read more

Strictly for breakfast burrito cuz I haven't had anything else. With tator tots instead of hash. Fire! Asked for bacon and sausage and it delivered. Mad amount of protein yum! read more

Double check your order even though they checked it the items were missing and you call in to complain they. Said next time you. Come back and they going to take of it's a lie. I spoke to the manager female. She didn't care. The place sucks I ask to speak someone one else she the only one . The last time the my money I guess. They don't value the customer with out customer they be out of business. It's just a fews dollars missing fries and zucchini. read more

We decided to give this place a try since we were in the area. I first heard about Mr. J's through Instagram influencer Obieats and came mainly for the chili cheese fries with pastrami. At $12.99 for a large, the price was reasonable, and the three of us shared it along with some fried zucchini and cheeseburgers. The chili fries were a bit salty but generously portioned, with a massive pile of pastrami on top. The burgers were comparable to those from any typical charbroiled burger spot--nothing unique--but based on the steady flow of customers, it's clearly a local favorite. Overall, it's a solid choice if you have a big appetite and want a satisfying meal without spending too much. read more

You order from grubhub? Expect your food to be late every single time.. they do not prioritize your order, driver will be waiting 20-30 minutes every time for a 2 item order. Customer service isn't good, the lack of communication and transparency is ridiculous. Nice place for family dine in but awful for delivery pickup read more

Tried something different today and went with the crispy spicy chicken sandwich. It had great flavor with the perfect spicy kick, just enough spice. All it needed was a side of ranch. Definitely a great choice, and I'll be ordering it again next time the craving hits. read more

Great place for burgers and staff is always attentive when you are there. Portions are good and good overall ambience

I ordered my food over the phone, and they gave me my total and told me that it was going to be ready in 10 minutes. My wife and son went to pick it up, and they ignored them. When they asked, they said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was a DoorDash order ‍‍." On top of that, they didn't have the whole order ready; they were missing a hamburger. The food is good, but this time customer service was really bad. read more

I was really craving a BLT, so my husband went out to get us sandwiches. Our first thought was Farmer Boys, but he decided to try Mr. J's instead. He specifically asked for a BLT with soft bacon, not crispy, and even paid an extra $4.78 for additional bacon and $0.75 for ranch. What we got was the complete opposite--extremely crispy bacon, not extra at all, and definitely not what we ordered. By the time my husband got home, it wasn't even worth going back to fix it. It's disappointing because we were really looking forward to it. I wish I had taken a picture to show the discrepancy. The order clearly said extra bacon, and although the lady spoke in Spanish, my husband thinks she acknowledged the request for soft bacon. Unfortunately, the end result didn't reflect that. I'll be giving one star because I have to in order to leave a review, but this experience was very frustrating. read more

Disappointing Experience at this Location Stopped by on a weekday before the lunch rush. There was only one car in the drive-thru and one person eating inside, so it wasn't busy at all. My husband, kids, and I waited inside for quite a while, but no one took our order or even acknowledged us, even though staff clearly saw us walk in. After standing there with no service, we ended up leaving. Really disappointing experience. We won't be back. read more

Arguably the best burger joint in town. Ever since they rebranded, I've always had a great experience coming here. Burgers are flavorful and fries are seasoned and crispy. The lady who always takes my order over the drive thru is also excellent! Super friendly and amazing service 10/10 read more

On Oct 06, 2025 at or around 19::00 pm, I decided to stop in Mr.J's char burger and order a triple meat pattie with cheese. I stated it twice to the order taker, ' fresh off the grill with everything ' and I will wait for it. The order came to $10.21 and I replied that would be to go! After a few minutes wait time, my to go order was ready! I took my order went home to enjoy a triple Patty char burger only to discover the order was wrong... again! Several months prior down the road, the something happened again This appears to be consistent going there and it's important if you do go there check your order before leaving. The days of orders getting it right are gone! In the past I've corrected them on a dine in order and the crew lost their woke ass shit! Now your asking what person endures such poor customer service! The answer lies in good faith, I like their burgers at the expense of customer satisfaction. I think after this incident I will spend the extra money, drive the extra distance for a better burger adventure, a burger establishment that takes pride in another level, instead of beating you up for their fuck up. It's not like its rocket science... but Mr.J's sure makes you feel it's an impossibility to get it right! read more

The food was really good, especially considering the price. We saw a video on TikTok and decided to give it a try. When we went inside, we were greeted with a large menu full of many options. I started placing an order, but the lady at the register was quite rude and rolled her eyes when we asked questions about the menu. I felt a bit offended, but we kept going. The food ended up being delicious. Our kid forgot to order his drink, so my husband went back to get it. It took him about 10 minutes to place the order, even though he was the only one in line turns out the cashier was on her phone. Overall, customer service could definitely use some improvement. read more

I got a stomach virus from there chili cheese fries with pastrami I've been sick for almost a week now never coming back

I had a good experience ordering from here. Ordered a sausage and egg burrito for breakfast via GrubHub delivery, since I haven't actually been to the restaurant I can't review the service or ambiance unfortunately. I did receive the correct order and thought it tasted good. Probably not the most delicious breakfast burrito ever, but definitely still good, especially with the salsa and pico on it. I was surprised to only get a burrito though, and maybe this was just me misinterpreting the menu, I thought the hash browns came on the side but it came in the burrito. Order came on time and was warm when it arrived. read more

Friendly staff very informative and attentive Plenty of Booths and tables can accommodate large groups. The cheeseburgers are full of Flavor, zucchini is amazing definitely suggest trying them, regular fries are tasty. Moving on to what brought us in, the Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries, they were disappointing as the chili was extremely greasy saturating the fries so much for ordering the fries crispy they ended up soggy, however the pastrami is good. The picture below is after I stuck 4 napkins on the bottoms to soak up the grease. The post from Instagram on these was misleading his were nowhere near what I was served . I wouldn't order these again. read more

I went to this restaurant because I saw it on TikTok and my son really excited to try this place out we went and the experience we had was not great. We took our meals to go.
