    Tall stack buttermilk fluffy pancakes Paula Dean style

    You cannot get any more local than Bub's. Come right in and find a seat, no invitation needed. Packed to the brim, every table filled with locals that all know one another. Simple breakfast menu, hot and fresh, country style. Everything made to order. Comes out fast, service super friendly with a southern charm. Staff all seem to help one another out with no set roles and responsibilities, just one big family unit serving the masses from 7-11am every day.

    Love this place for a great homestyle breakfast & a hearty lunch. The food is great & service is amazing! I love the relax vibes & that is a local favorite.

    2 Biscuits & Gravy, eggs and sausage (sausage has a kick to it)
    Cristen R.

    Charming breakfast place with the best biscuits and sausage gravy I have ever had at a restaurant. Servers are very polite and attentive. Perfect small business restaurant!

    Breakfast

    The reviews said the biscuits and gravy were great. That's true. The food was good. It's where the locals meet.

    Three Cheese Omelette, hash browns and thick cut fresh bacon. It tastes even better than it looks!

    I think it's a tad pricy but the decor is so cute. I will still come back. I like the home town feel.

    Passing by Kentucky area on our way home and was craving hot soup, this place came up on my search…read more First impression, place was huge, clean, cute and cozy with ample different types of seating. We had the Phó combination, Cambodian noodles and Banh Mí with Honey milk green tea boba. I tell you, delicious! Delicious! Everything was goood! Very authentic. It was the perfect meal for this chilly weather. The bobas were delish as well, soft right amount of chewiness and adjustable sweetness level. Friendly and quick service. Check them out! Happy tummy!

    Great pho and banh mi!…read more The first taste of pho and you know they've nailed it. It's that broth. That's the key to the pho. And this place has it. We went with beef and it did not disappoint. We also shared a Houz Ba Roi banh mi. That roasted pork belly just danced on the taste buds. It almost makes you celebrate the French colonial period. If this came out of it, it couldn't have been all that bad. What a great fusion of the two cultures. Place was super clean and comfortable. The guy at the counter was very helpful. We ordered the banh mi based on his recommendation, and I'm glad we did. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the best pho I've ever had was in Duluth, Minnesota. The best banh mi I've ever had was in a gas station in Metairie, Louisiana. Does this place measure up to those? No, but it's still five star. If I'm in Ellizabethtown, I'm stopping here.

    We stopped here randomly while Just on a road trip and had some of the best burgers. I got a bison…read moreburger and it was great. Definitely the spot in town. It was really busy. Everything was such a cheap price!

    Sunday, 18 January 2026…read more Met friends at J.R. Neighbors for lunch. According to my friend, the have the best burgers in Etown! ‍ There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant (maybe 5, with 2-3 slots being reserved for handicap). There are nearby parking lots with plenty more parking. As it was a Sunday, we had no trouble finding parking. There were a few people ahead of us, maybe three different parties. My partner and I did not have to wait to be seated since the friends we were meeting had already arrived and got a table. We greeted our friends then reviewed the menu. Since it was around 12ish on a Sunday, only the brunch menu was available. Not long after, our waitress arrived to take drink orders. Shortly after that, and after the drinks arrived - pineapple mimosas, apple juice, and water, we ordered our food...mostly everyone had a burger. I had the Texan burger/sandwich which came on a Texas toast, hence the name, and my partner had the Newberry Smash burger (double). Each came with a choice of "regular" fries or tots. I wanted sweet potato fries, but again, since it was Sunday, only the brunch menu and what was displayed was available. So, I settled for regular fries. My burger was good albeit a bit messy with the sunny side egg running everywhere! The bacon topping the burger was perfectly done with the right crispy/crunchy consistency. My mimosas was refreshing except I did not get much of a pineapple taste. The fries were fresh and appropriately seasoned, not too salty and not too bland, just right. We were all full from our meals so we did not even consider dessert! The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded, so the atmosphere was quite. We sat by the windows and were not even distracted by the outside vehicles passing by. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend J.R. Neighbors to anyone looking for good burgers in a good atmosphere in Etown.
