The menu looked interesting but we weren't hungry at the time. He asked me to pull over and he would give me and my son some samples. We chatted for a few mins then he gave us both a homemade tortilla chip topped with smoked salmon a crawfish tail some roasted corn salsa and cheese sauce. My son doesn't eat seafood. Like at all. He ate tail first then devoured the rest. I did as well. I asked him if he wanted some nachos and he replied Yayyah (Lil Jon voice). So we got some kid nachos. He loved them and I snacked on his left overs which were delicious. When we got home later that evening I started looking for Leo on IG, yelp, etc. I saw he was grilling some patty pan squash topped with fresh Maine lobster. I told my wife he mentioned he made some fire vegetarian nachos so I headed back down to see if could catch him. There were several folks there when I arrived. Picking up slabs and fixins, plus some sandwiches. I saw the prime rib on his IG an it looked so good I had to try a wrap. He grilled up some fresh asparagus to top my wife's nachos as well. Everything was super fresh and delicious. The pepper sauce on my wrap was spicy and the roasted corn and prime rib were tender and smoky. It was an epic portion of food. No I mean seriously the vegetarian nachos could easily be an appetizer for 6-8 ppl. I am really excited to have met Leo and I can't wait to go back. He also mentioned that if I have clothing or shoes to donate his foundation needs them and he would take them there at the truck. I told him I would put a review up on yelp and be back soon.

And good thing I did! I looked at the menu and honestly wanted to order everything cause it all sounds good. I don't eat much so I went with the two piece chicken tenders kids meal. The lady who took my order said they have a regular chicken tenders meal but I said I wanted the kids meal cause I don't eat a lot. She then said "It's the same amount of food." which, ok cool, but I don't think that should be said cause they can lose out on money. Just my opinion. And FYI, I very often get kids meals cause I really don't eat a lot. Not trying to save money or anything. The meal came with two chicken tenders, sauce, fries and a drink. Fries were good.

And I express my thanks to my servers and bartenders, who were not only attentive in service, but also offered recommendations which led me to a great dining experience. In short, I had the following: -dry-aged Shima Ahi crudo ( flew in from Japan) -a Mordella sandwich, and -peach fried pie. My wine pairing for my dishes was a California Albariño, which was a great surprise. I'm now searching for this winemaker to add bottles to my cellar. Every dish I tried was my favorite in its own way. Each meal was well-balanced and highlighted the flavors of every ingredient. The mortadella sandwiches featured a playful twist with Cobia fish, and the house-made focaccia bread, where the mortadella and Cobia spread are nestled, was truly what focaccia dreams are made of. Plus the garlic aioli for the fries is money !!! And the peach fried hand pie was the perfect end to a great meal. The aromatics of caramelized glaze comes across like it might be super sweet. But when you bit into the flaky buttermilk pastry crust it gave it a warm, humble feeling with the perfectly diced peaches pie filling adding the right touch of sweetness. And as a special treat, this hand pie is paired with a sour cream-lemon sorbet which I didn't know I needed in my life that was refreshing. The peach fried pie is a seasonal dessert, so enjoy it while you can. Overall, the ambiance and music were spot on making it a vibe that you definitely want to come for dinner or just enjoy cocktails which looked really yummy( but that's for another time ). The unique decor, with a mix of midcentury meets fisherman lighting and a crowned octopus handles tap beer, was a lovely detail when you get to sit back and enjoy. Even the plateware where food sits on is crafted by a local Bham female artisan at Civil Stoneware, is a nice touch ( which I was obsessed with ). I hope your experience is as great as mine.

Wanted to support this business so I called my order in at 6 pm. I was told they were a bit busy and to wait 30 mins. I waited. Even took my family to Publix downtown to waste some time. I get to the business and let them know I'm here. The lady at the register was oblivious to the fact that there was even a call in order under my name. After waiting another 25-30 mins. What was the point of calling it in?? I talked to the manager and her only explanation was "Sorry we are busy". Meanwhile, people who came in and ordered after me are walking out the door with their food! Smh. (Be mindful that at this point I had ordered my food AN HOUR EARLIER.) I finally receive my order just to get to the car and realize that the lady didn't even get my whole order! So I had to go back in a order the rest of the food.

This has been our go-to wing spot for a while. We ordered our usual: #16 Combo One-piece catfish and 6 wings We always request the catfish fried hard and get the Kickin Bourbon wings. We also always upgrade the fries to the Cajun ranch cheese fries and grab a J's Punch with the combo. The atmosphere itself is not really much to talk about, and the customer service has always been more average than standout. But the food? Banging. The Kickin Bourbon wings continue to be the star. Sweet heat with good flavor balance and enough sauce to matter without drowning the wings. The catfish fried hard gives that extra crunch without drying the fish out. The Cajun ranch cheese fries are part of the experience at this point. Salty, messy, loaded, and worth the upgrade every time. And the J's Punch has become one of those "you just automatically order it" drinks once you have been there enough. J Wings has always felt like one of those places where the food carries everything else. You are not necessarily coming for ambiance, elevated service, or aesthetics. You are coming because when that food hits, it hits.
