    Stopped by 5 & 50 on way through on this hot spring day. First cones of the season were delicious! Attaching pics of menu as of 5/16/2026.

    Best, thickest Burger ever!!!

    Awesome service from the moment we walked in. The young man at the front is so very personable. We ordered the Fried chicken sandwich (very tasty) the fried mushrooms are THE BOMB!! Husband ordered a burger and tots!! Both cooked to perfection. Tots crispy outside, fresh inside. Burger was thick and juicy!! Don't worry about $$ everything is expensive these days... but at least at the Cali... location you definitely get what you pay for!!

    Some of the best old fashioned drive in food & ice cream on mid Missouri! Definitely worth your stop.

    Great old fashion drive in! Burgers were hand formed (not prepackaged), fries were hot and crispy. Service was super friendly!

    My buddy and I were looking for a lunch spot in Jefferson City. We came across what looked like a…read morehole in the wall that was a food truck and they are now a brick and mortar place. We looked over the menu and saw they had sweet tea. More on that in a moment. That's important for Bama Boys. The menu is pretty simple with pulled pork, wings, and burgers. I went with a full order of wings. 10 wings were $20. I thought that was pretty high though they were terrific! I chose them to be naked and had DAT Honey, Spicy BBQ, and Sweet and Spicy on the side. DAT Honey was a superb sauce especially mixed with the homemade ranch. The other 2 sauces were good too. Now back to the sweet tea. As I came in thinking I was going to get a fresh-brewed homemade sweet tea turned out to be purchasing a bottle of that abomination of sweet tea known as Gold Peak. It was comical how fast I told the guy at the register I would rather take a water. Then I receive a bottled water from Sam's. The owner did throw in a cookie for me to offset the price. But I wasn't impressed with the drink options. The service was good though! I really debated between a 3 and a 4 rating but the most important thing to me about a restaurant is making sure my food tastes amazing. JQ's delivered on that and plus the service was friendly and fantastic. I didn't like the price of 10 wings or the drink options but if you don't mind that, JQ's is a solid lunch spot.

    All the food was really good. Especially the chicken and waffles, fish and chips, and the summer…read morestrawberry salad. The waitress (Clara) was awesome. It was a little slow because they were so busy but they had a dude playing guitar and singing songs. Absolutely worth the wait and essential to end your day on the lake.

    The family decided this was the place to go for early dinner the Saturday of Labor Day weekend…read more Fortunately it wasn't super busy and we got a parking spot right outside the door. That's pretty fortuitous since it was 100°+F outside. Overall it looked like parking was a smidge limited, so I'd imagine if this place is busy, you might have a bit of trouble finding a spot. We hit the shift change, but our waitress was prompt and had drinks (hello Guinness) for us pretty quickly. Sidenote though, sitting close to the door when it's really hot out can prove a bit uncomfortable with people entering/exiting and being blasted with heat. We started with an order of fried pickle spears, which were tasty, but fell apart after a bit or two and were fairly messy. Mom and I opted for an order of the chicken and waffles each. It looked significant in the pictures, but having not really eaten all day, I was feeling ambitious. Mom failed to eat half of hers. At the expense of my waistline, I was able to devour the entirety of the 4x millionaire's-esque bacon strips, 3x waffles, 2x fried chicken breasts, and the orange maple syrup (which was unique and fantastic). Overall, while it was pretty good, it was more of an exercise in quantity over quality. I can't even fathom a dessert after this size of meal. This was closer to a 4.5 star experience, but next time I'd probably want to do something with a smaller portion to save room for cheesecake and an Irish coffee.
