Reasonably priced. Best soul food in town. The ribs are nicely sized, the corn bread is delicious, and the cinnamon waffles are unique. Everything is very tasty. When it gets busy it can get a little stressful if you don't like noisy places. I believe you can call ahead to reserve a spot as it's usually very busy. If you don't call ahead and show up during a busy time i found that the waiting time isn't usually too long. The staff and servers are very friendly and helpful.

To start this review, let it be said that my review is based on ordering over the phone for a to-go order, with a 30 minute drive home before a could eat. And we had never been here before but my mom had heard rave reviews about their fried catfish. Over the phone they were great and patient. When picking up the food, I mistakenly said no additional items were needed. But upon installing myself in the car with a lap full of food my mother reminded me she liked lemons and tartar sauce with her fish. So she went back in to get them. She's pretty insatiable when it comes to lemons. Unfortunately she wasn't happy with her being "rationed" on how many lemons she could get to take home with her. This started a bad experience. By the time we got home and ate our dinner, it was really lack luster. We will try one more time in the future to see if eating it there, hot, and with table service, will improve the experience and taste.

I love this place. Their food is so good. It's comfort food. I have said in the past that one must be a fool to believe there is some place better. It may simply be that J's Place brings comfort to my heart and mind. It's like going to grandma's house for an awesome home cooked meal. This is the place to go when you are happy. Also the place to go when you are sad. The best home cooked meal anyone could ever want-other than in your own kitchen.

J's place is an all around 5 star food space. I am highly proud to say it is the type of restaurant that the food is so good it brings cultures together. On any given day you find white black latino Indian asian and other cultures all gathered together eating and enjoying in this one place. To me that is a sign of great food when it transcends culture and race like that. Besides the food being good the customer service is good and the prices are also. The signature chicken and waffles are great as is anything on the menu. If you're ever nearby you definitely should treat yourself to J's Place.

Oh wow the food takes me back to when I was just a little kid. The blackeye peas, macaroni and cheese, and the fried cabbage is to die for. Makes me miss my mom and grandma. Now if they could only learn to make Raisin Fried Pies then they would deserve 10 stars. Too bad they only allow 5 stars on here. I think Google should update their review system and add more than 5 stars on here.
