We had a large group and they took care of us. Good food at reasonable price. I enjoyed the fish and chips

I'm surprised I haven't written a review for J Macs as it is a staple and go-to place. I usually go for brunch and love their mimosa carafes. My go-to order is the prime rib dip with fries. The fries are skinny and so delicious. it's enough to split and I often do with my mom. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is upscale gastropub.

To the Chopped Kale Salad...."How do I love thee, let me count the ways." I love thee with a grilled salmon filet...... I love thee with an almond coated goat cheese patty....... I love thee without those things...... Just know, that I love thee..... I get this salad almost everytime we come to J. Macklin. It is a perfect blend even though I like to add all of the things sometimes. J. Macklin makes homemade soups and that is a rareity in restaurants nowadays. This is a great local joint and the service is always amazing and friendly.

The food & service were great here. We got sat right away & the server was very friendly. The potatoes & fries were delicious. I had a mess up on my order, but it was fixed right away. Would recommend!

We stopped by on the weekend it was freezing. I wanted to try it since it seemed like a local favorite. On our first visit, we had Queso with Chips. It was delicious. We also had The Goat Cheese Salad. I have never had a Goat Cheese Patty but it was perfect on top of the lighter salad. For Entrees, we had the Shrimp and Grits and The Turkey Sandwich. It was so tasty we decided to come back again. On our second visit, we decided to have the Goat Cheese Salad again. We had more people in our party this time. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak which was perfect. Also had the Brunch Enchiladas Verdes. They kicked up the spice with extra chiles. We also had The French Dip. The atmosphere is very casual with quite a few locals coming by. We had great service with Alberto. He is quite the personality. The food was quite tasty. We will definitely come by again since we are usually running errands in the area.

Stopped in and grabbed a spot at the bar to have dinner and watch the World Series game. Breanna took great care of me behind the bar and she was very busy throughout the night. The food runners were very friendly and my food arrived at a very reasonable amount of time. I'm started with the Ahi Tuna Tar Tar appetizer and it was just average. The "crispy" wontons were pretty soft and almost stale, which was a bummer. The tuna tasted fresh and the coleslaw/cucumbers were refreshing but seemed like a somewhat cheap attempt at a nice dish. My Steak Frites with Parmesan Fries came out a few minutes after they cleared my dirty plate, which was perfect. A lot of places don't time this right when trying to eat dinner alone and you end up with multiple dishes in front of you at once, so I really appreciated this. The steak was cooked correctly and I enjoyed the herb butter melted on top. The fries were delicious and just how I prefer them, skinny/crispy! The aioli sauce on the side was a perfect addition to both the steak and fries. The quality of the meat seemed to maybe be subpar but for the price, it's tough to complain. Overall, it seemed like the staff all loved working together and they knew so many regular customers, which was cool to see. While the food quality might not be the highest like a fancy restaurant, the more than reasonable prices make up for it.
