I really frequented the place to listen to live entertainment and have a drink are two. The live entertainment is bad at best such a nice place and geared so well for some serious acoustic listening and why they have these live mostly amateur bands is beyond me. I have been lucky on occasion to sit and listen to some decent acoustic artist one in particular on Mothers Day a year or two ago. I was told that gentleman would be returning but that has never taken place but I keep hoping.

We have eaten at BR twice in the last two weeks, and both times were a positive experience. We had…read morethe fish special -- the fish pieces were delicious and huge! Last evening we ordered and picked up pizzas. They were delicious too and grandson loved his cheese pizza. Staff has been very courteous. We enjoyed browsing the gift shop and picked up several cute tees. We moved our boat to a dock here at BR last fall, so we were anxiously waiting for the restaurant to open. We were able to enjoy the live music from our dock.

First and foremost for us, they are dog friendly on the patio! We were traveling with our dachshund…read moreand needed a place to eat where he would be welcome (too warm to leave him in the car) that also wasn't the typical "burger and fries" joint. We split the Harris Platter and 2 frog legs (added on). It was enough for us because we were looking to eat light, but those with more robust appetites may not be able to share. A side + hushpuppies were included so we got the Real Southern Potato Casserole. Hushpuppies were GREAT and I believe they were made in house. The shrimp, frog legs and catfish were seasoned and fried to perfection. Crab cakes were on the smaller side (after all, it is a sampler) but packed a LOT of flavor. The remoulade was a great accompaniment (and tasted like it was made in house as well). Clam strips were good overall, but we're not really 'clam' people so we're not sure what is good and what isn't. We did, however, end up eating everything on our plate so they definitely worked for us! They offer Pepsi products as well as beer and a full bar. We ordered a West Sixth IPA (brewed in Lexington), which paired nicely with our seafood. Everyone that worked there was so sweet and friendly, including our very attentive server (we don't remember her name but wish we would have so we could give her a shout out!). We would definitely return here if we're ever back in the area.

I stopped in today for a late lunch while working in the area…read more I'm so glad I found this place. I walked in and went straight to the bar for a seat. It wasn't crowded at all. I was quickly waited on by the bartender/server. The staff were very friendly. I had a local craft beer, Paducah Beer Werks Irish Red, which paired well with the Made from Scratch Hush Puppies and Fried Crawfish Tails. The Homemade Remoulade for dipping was excellent. I would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. The nautical theme is throughout the restaurant and I noticed a few fish tanks as well.

We've enjoyed meals at JJ's a number of times; it's under 2 hours to our house in Brentwood and…read moreworth the trip! We've tried the steaks (tender and flavorful), sandwiches (yum! -- the cheesesteak seems packed with flavor and the grilled chicken is tender and juicy), fish and chips (not over-cooked -- lightly battered), and salads (fresh). Save -- if you can -- room for dessert! Everything is great, the portions are generous, and the price is reasonable (a rare find these days). Also, Josh (chef and co-owner) is a deep-fry master. His waffle fries, mozzarella sticks, and mushrooms are over-the-top. Josh sometimes steps out of the kitchen to greet customers and make sure everything is OK. The rest of the staff follow his lead for friendly service. If you get the chance, check out the adjacent, beautiful wine tasting room for Lake Barkley Winery. In addition to tastings from proprietor and builder, Bill, you can pick up some great local wines or some California varieties. Not only did Bill build the tasting room by hand (along with the entire building), he's the vintner who created the local wines from grapes he grew nearby. Get some of his local wine before he runs out of it. The California wines are from a vineyard his relative owns. This really is a family business! The tasting room is gorgeous and could be a great place to rent out for an elegant event. I hear JJ's and Lake Barkley are close to opening a banquet facility upstairs -- can't wait to see that!

As someone who grew up in a rural community outside a small town, I have a deep love and appreciation for restaurants like The Pond! The staff was amazing and friendly! We had 7 of us in our party. We were seated very quickly. We were tended to with care. When looking at the menu, I was surprised (in a very good way) at the prices. The amount of food you get for the price beats any place I've eaten in the city, for sure! I ordered the fried shrimp dinner which comes with the fried shrimp, a choice of a baked potato, fries? Or potato wedges. It also comes with slaw, white beans, and hush puppies. I chose to go with a loaded baked potato. The shrimp I got was AMAZING! It wasn't the dinky little shrimps you get at big chain restaurants. These were big plump shrimps. That loaded baked potato was also delicious! I'm pretty sure I inhaled it. I'm a sucker for a good slaw and I could have eaten a large bowl of it. I'm not one who particularly likes white beans or hush puppies, so I didn't try those. I got flu after the slaw, potato, and just half of my shrimp. I was a bit disappointed because I didn't get to try their desserts. I am looking forward to visiting The Pond again on my next visit!

The appetizers were fried and delicious, the sauce was amazing in the seafood boil. The service was so good, they made sure we had everything we needed and checked up on us.
