The interior has a unique layout as if this wasn't the original function of this venue, but they make good use of the space. They have a pretty expansive menu for a "greasy spoon" style truck stop, with all day breakfast and some specials. The okra was overcooked. The chicken and dressing was mostly dressing. And the cornbread was as dry as a new sponge. However, the hull peas and the burger were well made and seasoned. We split the coconut special cake as an Easter treat with the special. It was sooooo sweet. The topping was as if I was eating a coconut peep. I don't think I would stop at JJ's again unless, like today, my options were limited. Nothing was bad, I guess I wanted something more.

They had some nice specials yesterday, so we decided to try it. When we called, I asked what side dishes were offered with the specials. She would not answer me directly, saying "We have all of our sides available." Not having a menu in front of me, I asked her to name some recommendations. She said, "mashed potatoes and gravy" and when I said that I wanted that, she said, "Oh no, we're out of that." She did the same with baked potatoes and could not remember what side dishes were available besides purple hull peas. We kept guessing until we found two that she said were available. That was frustrating and she started sounding irritated with us. My husband got the double-dipped pork chop. He said that It was cold, bland, and chewy He found it inedible. My chicken fried steak was worse, not just cold and chewy, but also grisly and greasy. The gravy and sides were so heavily salted and peppered, that I wondered if the chef had any tastebuds at all. My purple hull peas had these unsightly, slimy pieces of bacon that would have been good a few hours ago, but how were just nastily breaking down in the juice. I would not even feed that to my dogs, it got thrown in the trash. The serving tray that I received looked as though the purple hull peas were thrown from across the room, they were splattered all over inside and outside of my tray. It was a mess. I will not be back this time. I give up.

The waitress brought water and menus then disappeared. We had to go look for her to take our order. Another waitress finally showed up and was very unfriendly and short. The food, meatloaf, potatoes, broccoli arrived and was mediocre at best. Meatloaf was loaded with fillers and smothered in tasteless gravy. Less than quarter cup of potatoes smothered in gravy and broccoli was mostly stems and small pieces. Waitress never stopped by to check how things were. We used to rave about this place but sadly, no more. Finally, we had to go look for our waitress for the bill. No thank you, no come back soon, no appreciation for stopping by. Probably won't be back.

Secondly we had to wait a few to be seated on a Friday evening. That's a good sign. We were sat within 5-10 mins. Our server (Brie) I believe was amazing. We asked her for suggestions. She was not shy and suggested the pork chops and Fish. Boy was she right! I got the catfish. I am not a huge catfish fan unless it is done right and CLEAN. Theirs is exactly that! Well seasoned and amazing! The hush puppies were hand made not frozen and were the best from a restaurant that I have had. I also. Had the baked potato, potato salad. Again easily the best I have ever had. Back to the battered and fried pork chops, unless you are able to eat enough for a family of 4 or the 1/2 portion. They were simply seasoned in a way that any chef should be proud of!! We took 3/4 home and airfares them the next day. He had the green beans with the chops and Lordy they could potentially make you slap your momma. Here's the thing. We eat out a lot and I do write a lot of reviews but this hands down was one the top 5 experiences in the last 3-4 years. This meal with drinks was only $38 before a nice cash tip on the table. I will be back again and again! I hope more people find this special place so close to Lake DeGray

She said her burger had an dirty grill taste to it. Who serves sandwiches with no fries?... no one. These were pitiful little plates.
