Been coming here for years as a very friendly neighborhood bar and grill. We like the people working there, as service is good. Owners have become very greedy with the bar. $8 for a draft beer before, $10 for house wine- the bottle being served at retail stores does not come to $10. Knowing 2 people in the wholesale alcohol business, the wine prices have not gone up, as there are too many producers in the business. Even Victors, a much nicer place, sells house wines at $9 and their beer is much cheaper. We complained, as did some others on the pricing, but we know bartenders have no say. We heard their Italian restaurant is doing ok, but not great, so maybe trying to make up some of those margins. Nonetheless, we will take our dollars elsewhere, as the 2 other couples agreed- they will no longer patronize Macklins. I would expect the response to be the Italian place is doing great. read more

This place is awesome. The service is always great and the food is delicious. Took my employees here for a reward dinner. I had the Ribeye chicken fried, and one of my employees had the avocado tacos, and the others had their versions of the French dip. Everything was outstanding. For dessert, I had the bread pudding. That was just ok. Try the blackberry Mule you will love it! read more

We had a large group and they took care of us. Good food at reasonable price. I enjoyed the fish and chips

Usually this would be 5 star because I love this place so much but walked in hungry at 830 and they turned us away saying they were closed... why does everything say open till 9 pm if you won't take orders till 9. It was a Togo order and they had a full bar sitting there drinking with full glass. This is extremely annoying considering how many times we have supported this restaurant. read more

Wanted to post update. Tried this place again after a not so great initial experience. Service was so much better and our waitress went above and beyond! Food was just as great as before. Will be coming again! read more

BIG SHOUTS OUT TO TODD an his staff for coming up with a concept of a restaurant that is so an well put together with all the bells an whistles in a simple not over the top way. You can feel the look of the food that they have created for a one stop dining. It's been awhile where I feel in love with everything iv order an went crazy on ordering at that. Every dish was a HOMERUN. The time they took to prep it all an made sure it came out piping hot an season just right was perfect. Cameron my server was so peaceful an a breath of fresh air. He was the idel server one should have. He loves what he doing an it shows. An kudos for him not allowing anything to get in his way no matter the difference he endures. Todd please keep my Burbon Strawberry drink as well. read more

First & foremost Gabby was an amazing waitress. I was obsessed with her. My sister and cousin have tried J Macklins for brunch a few times. It's so close to home I've always wanted to try. Convinced the husband and we were impressed. The portions are large. My mother-in-law enjoyed the left overs. I went for the Texas omelet and the hub went for the Benny. To be honest the star of the show were the scalloped potatoes. Every restaurant cooks their breakfast potatoes the same. I'm not a fan. These scalloped potatoes won in my book. I know I'm not delusional because my mother-in-law was also obsessed. We tried the Manmosa and Rose Lemonade. Super delicious. Last but not least the bacon flight. I now know I prefer floppy bacon instead of crispy. The habanero with chopped green onions was yum. read more

We really enjoyed this place. Started with Chips, queso and Parmesan fries and that set the expectations. Grits and Shrimp, chicken fried steak and a cowboy burger were all outstanding. Large portions, probably share in most cases. A little pricey but the food is very good. Restaurant was clean and trendy. Noise level was moderate. Our waiter was helpful in selections and drink choices. read more

We were quickly welcomed and seated. Our staff was on top of everything and managed our drinks and order well. The fried chicken steak, the lobster ravioli, and the chicken parmesan were delicious and quickly enjoyed. The service and food were great but the cocktails were awesome. Everything was so good! read more

Love J Macklin's. Just wish they offered more food choices and more specials from time to time.

Courteous staff and quick service. Can occasionally get a little loud outside, but for the most part, it was very pleasant for us and our small daughter. read more

Came in with my family, and the food and service was fantastic. Also this place has such a nice aesthetic. Our server Chandler was attentive and made suggestions for my wife and I that we loved. Skillet chicken for me and some off menu Vegetarian options for my wife he called a hummus cucumber sandwich. read more

We both enjoyed our salads as our main course tonight. No wait and the service was excellent.

I absolutely loved their fish & chips!! Service was attentive and prompt but not pushy. Had lunch with a friend and the atmosphere was fantastic! read more

This place is just as good as I remembered 10 years ago. I got the veggie tacos and instead of corn on the side I substituted mac and cheese for an upcharge. It came with 2 tacos. The mac and cheese was amazing and flavorful and so were the tacos. The waitress was great and very attentive. I will be back before 10 years again lol. Please bring back the creme brulee. read more

AMAZING food. French dip is legit, service is quick, it's fancy but with flip flop casual feel. Have had club and fish and chips and they're both pretty great too. If I lived closer I'd be here every week. read more

This place is sooo yummy! I stopped by here with a group of friends (there were 6 of us) for brunch around 11:30am on a Saturday. Our server was so kind and extremely attentive. They have a brunch menu and an extensive alcoholic brunch drink menu. After 11am on the weekends they start serving lunch but before that they'll only serve what is on their brunch menu. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered a side order of pancakes and a side of grits. All of our food came out within 10 minutes of us ordering and there were other groups of people there which was impressive! What I really like about this place is their portion sizes. They are practical for the price and you have enough food to finish your plate (I'm not a fan of brunch leftovers). The chicken biscuit is HUGE and one of their best sellers and I can see why. My pancake was INCREDIBLE. It wasn't too dense or fluffy and the flavor was spot on! Only thing is they served me cold syrup which was no good because my pancake got cold. The side order of grits was so cheesy. I saw it was jalapeno grits but it wasn't spicy at all. Only thing is it was maybe a small scoop of it served in a b&b bowl and it cost $5 which seemed a little high for this type of restaurant. Was it worth $5? Not really, but it was flavorful so I can't complain. I also got coffee with my brunch. This is the only thing that wasn't good. Stay away from it because the coffee was really watery. Stick with mimosas. Parking outside of the restaurant is tight so come a little early so you don't have you park behind the building. Overall, if you want a tasty meal, I would recommend you come here. All 6 of us finished all of our food and we were very happy! They have a decent kids menu and the food and service were good! read more

I've been trying J Mac's often over the years and its been mostly good. Today however was very disappointing Food - i tried the roasted turkey sandwich. Very disappointing. Thin slices of meat, over powered by masses amounts of cheese and bread. This needs to be taken off the menu! Service - the guys behind the bar are too busy talking rather than servicing the customers! There use to be a girl bartender that was Great! She provided good service and was a great conversationalist. Bring her back!! Ambiance - was the same as previous visits. Its ok. read more

Omg the shrimp and grits were so good. I can't wait to come back. The server was very nice. The food came out very quick and it was fresh tasting. I love this place. I got the French 76 it was amazing. I love this place... I live far but I won't hesitate to come back. Please JMack me!!!! My husband said the chicken and waffle was delicious. read more

I came here for dinner and it was filling and delicious! For apps we enjoyed the chip and queso - can you go wrong with chips and queso? Never haha. I enjoyed the steak with mushrooms and gravy with a side of asparagus and mashed potatoes. The meat was flavorful and cooked perfectly how I like it. My date enjoyed the salmon with rice and green beans. The gravy that covered the salmon was delicious! For dessert, we enjoyed the crème brûlée - it's our favorite dessert and it was a hit! I really enjoyed the Moscow mule and Bourbon lemonade! Overall great dinner. The staff was very friendly. We also had reservations and were seated immediately on arrival. read more

We tried the Lemon chicken with orzo and farmhouse breakfast. All very delicious. And the jalapeño cheese grits, were addictive!

I love this spot. After having a taste of their beignet and salmon kale salad, I wanted to order one of everything on the menu. It was simple yet executed perfectly. I enjoyed the simplicity of the dishes but that the ingredients were top notch. I enjoyed my not-so-brunch brunch thoroughly. If ever in town again, this would be a definite go to spot. read more

The bartender was fantastic, otherwise horrible service. We arrived and sat at the bar before our reservation. We were then sat at a table by the hostess and never acknowledged by a server. We sat for 20 minutes before leaving without being acknowledged. read more

Food was really good and service was great! I had chicken & waffles, my wife had the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup, which she raved about and my daughter had the Club sandwich that she really enjoyed along with the queso and chips. Chicken and waffles were good but not great, I expected the syrup to be a little more rich with butter and at least a little kick. The queso was ok but needs work. read more

Wow!! Love this place and amazing food. Great atmosphere, even better food. I've had fish tacos to their brunch- wow!! Yummmy!!

The service was a bit slow during lunch time, but ended up fine in the long run. The spinach dip was super taste and very cheese. I got the iron steak and fries and it was super good! The atmosphere was super chill and quiet. There was a news crew that was inside. That was pretty cool too! read more

It's been a few years since I've been in the place but the food is still just a good as before.

I just happened to run across this place and I'm so happy I did. You know you're hungry and don't want to waste it bc you had some nasty food and now you're full??? Well yeah, that didn't happen, I didn't even want to be healthy initially going to this place, I wanted fried everything BUT I said let me do a little better. I tried the lemon chicken skillet and it was very tasty!! I would get it again. Most places make that dry, non-flavorful chicken but this place got it right!! Thank guy for that J Macklin's!! I also tried a side of the Gouda Mac and cheese, now it cooked perfectly but I love pepper and a little more salt in mine but my bowl was still empty so let's just say - this place is worth the visit and I'll definite back to try something else or repeat this meal for sure! read more

Good Food.... Excellent Service.... A Special Thanks to our server Cameron K. ...... His service was impeccable.

I chose the wrong day to come here - they were having a party for a football team so it was packed and incredibly loud. The service was slow because of the large group. That being said the food was good - I got the quinoa salad and it had some good flavor. I love that they have a French 76 on the drink menu, not many places do! I just wish that they would've warned when me when I was making a reservation that there was something going on that night as I probably would've gone somewhere else. read more

Amazing food! I was able to get lunch with my friends today here. The server was so nice! I highly recommend their burgers and parmesan fries! read more

Menu has good variety for a lunch meeting. Atmosphere is conducive to for a social or business-related gathering.

I really love j macklin's black bean burger with the goat cheese. The salmon was also excellent. Their service is very good, but when busy the food sometimes takes a bit of time. The atmosphere is intimate very good for date night. The parking lot is a bit small. read more
