Even after moving to a larger location, they still often fill up and have a wait! It's just that good. The only "bad" thing I've had at J&J's was the French dip on special. I am a self proclaimed French dip connoisseur, but this one had a very difficult to describe taste. Almost tasted like how you would expect a cows breath to smell? Idk, super odd... Their burgers are fantastic and the heart attack sandwich is super good!

Meat and eggs, we got kielbasa, was good as well though we didnt care much for the american fries, they were kinda soft and needed a little more cook time as with the english muffin which could have been a little more toasty. The inside space is a lot bigger than you would assume from the ouwell. Prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking in the lot. Service was good as well.

My husband and I stopped into The Tavern Grill in Blaine on a whim one Sunday afternoon. We've…read morenoticed it countless times on our way to Hajime next door, so we figured it was finally time to check it out. The restaurant was understaffed - the bartender was not only running the bar but also serving the entire dining area. We sat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before being greeted. We also overheard a nearby table voice frustration about the slow service. We're pretty patient, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was noticeably slow. That said, once we were helped, our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Spicy Margarita and my husband went with an Old Fashioned. My margarita was on the weaker side; not bad, just forgettable. My husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. For food, we tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab-Stuffed Portabella. The standout was definitely the Bang Bang Shrimp; we both really liked it. The lettuce wraps and stuffed mushroom were fine, just not dishes we'd return specifically for. The overall vibe was calm and low-key, and the staff was kind despite being stretched thin. I'm glad we gave it a try, but it's probably not a place we'll be rushing back to.

Definitely a place to visit again!

The breakfast options are usually why I'm stopping by, and their pancakes and omelets are delicious. Very reasonably priced, large portions, and filled with flavor. There's a large vodka selection, and they're pretty well known for their Bloody Mary's, so if that's your thing, this is probably a place to try out. The restaurant is always packed, and the consistency of the food and good service is the reason why.

This time though I decided to try their special Albuquerque Omelette and it was amazing!!! Filled with cheese and hatch chilis then smothered in half red and half green hatch chilis. It was huge and so good. You definitely need to be able to tolerate some heat though. It's more than Minnesotan spicy. Next time I want to try one of the Fruit Fritters. I saw so many coming out of the kitchen and it looked amazing! Weekends the place is packed and they are not open for dinner. I went on a weekday morning and got in right away. Great customer service. Give this place a try!

Longer version: This place is located in a strip mall that kind of looks run down. Do not let that stop you!! There is actually a really pretty park across the street if you do want to take your food to go. The inside was very clean and put together. There isn't much for decor but it felt like your standard "hole in the wall" twin cities hispanic restaurant. Parking is free. The service here was terrific!! I felt like I was honestly apart of a family! I was check in on multiple times! My server was very polite and friendly! Very enjoyable! The food: I got pupusas (cheese) and they were soooo good! The cheese pull on these were great! If you have never had them, it's kind of like if a corn bread pancake and a slab of mozzarella came together! You can get these stuffed with beans and meat as well! I also got the quesabirria tacos! Now I have been to tons of places in the twin cities for quesabirria tacos and dare I say these are some of the best in the twin cities!!! Oh my goodness!! Absolutely delicious! And the consume had good flavor as well! Packed with meat and cheese! The salsas were excellent and had a great heat to them! Their horchata was also very refreshing and I would definitely recommend that as well! This is a smaller business with a great menu, friendly service and decent portion/price ratio! Don't sleep on this place!
