    Midtown Meatloaf
    Jana J.

    I haven't been to (Jams) in years, and was so sad at having a bad experience when I stopped in last night! I worked at Jams for eight years, and was at this location for four of those years. Unfortunately, from what I have experienced and heard from others, it has definitely gone downhill. Our server did not do a great job, I saw her standing around a bit, so she was not too busy, but we struggled to get anything to our table. We ran out of water and never got anymore, as we didn't have an opportunity to ask. It took us quite a while to be checked on after our food was dropped, so we waited to get extra sauces that we needed. Overall, she did not do a good job at checking on us through our entire visit. The food here is still good. In my opinion, the coconut chicken salad has always been my favorite, but I was disappointed to see that it is much smaller than it used to be (I did order the full). The flavor of the dressing is still the same, and the ingredients are unchanged, but there was a much lesser ratio of toppings to lettuce this time around. The most disappointing part was that I asked for a dinner roll at the end of my visit, as I was still hungry. Our server took back my checkbook so that she could ring this in, and I was charged a dollar for the role. The menu still states that dinner rolls are available upon request, so this was disappointing. The salad should've been $20 for a full salad, as shrimp is the same price as the coconut chicken I substituted at four. I was charged $24 for the salad. Slight mistake mistakes like this are not the end of the world, but really do show the downhill direction. This restaurant has gone, unfortunately. I will stop in again, but only because I have a gift card to use up. Otherwise, I will check out the downtown location and hopefully have better luck there!

    Carnitas enchilada
    Nicole C.

    My sister was in town and wanted to celebrate her birthday here with a small group of family members. She made reservations and we got an 8 top right in the center of the restaurant. The music was soooo loud, it was hard to converse or maybe the speaker was right over our table. They played a lot of disco and 80s which I didn't mind. We got a selection of appetizers for the table to share. The onion rings were good but the bleu crab Rangoon egg rolls tasted a bit off (I've had them before at the Old Market location and they were excellent there). I ordered the Jams fish tacos with the beer-battered mahi and they were good but not fantastic. I got the vibe that everyone felt that way about their meals. The red chili rice tasted bland and the chipotle black beans had a smokey flavor but were not my favorite. Our server did check on us often and kept the drinks and water coming. It was a nice outing but I wouldn't rush to return here again.

    Carnitas Enchilada! Bomb! Don't sleep on the scampi either. It's $17 but so worth it.

    The food definitely does not disappoint. The scampi is to die for. I got the carnitas enchilada and my husband got the fish and chips and both were fantastic. Our server was great as well.

    When you can see the dressing pooling at the bottom, you know it's too much.
    Lola S.

    I dine at Jams a lot! Someone in the kitchen got out of hand with the dressing. My lettuce and everything else was drenched. I realize I failed to tell them I wanted the dressing on the side, but I think that should be a standard question that the wait staff asks. And please stop spraying your cleaner on the table. The smell in the offspring is more than a Diner wants to deal with, sitting at the next table.

    Coconut Chicken Half Salad
    Clara L.

    Jams Legacy Short Rib Tacos - I thought these tacos were super good. I'd probably give it an 8/10. I also love cabbage, and there is a lot on the tacos. It comes with a side of smoked gouda white cheddar mac and cheese, and it was fire. 9.5/10 Coconut chicken half salad- my mom and aunt got this & I know they liked it. It's a little hard to mix in the bowl given, but it's a good salad! My mom said this is one of her favorites, and she gets it every time she goes to Jams!

    Jams is my go to spot for appetizers and a quick cocktail. This location is a bit smaller than its other stores, but it's a very open concept. The staff is so friendly and they are quick to offer suggestions. We tried the chicken nachos which were amazing. They are loaded with lots of toppings and the most delicious cilantro crema. The portions are average sized. We also go the ginger curry potstickers which we loved so much, we got a second order. For drinks, I got a blood orange margaraita which was great, but the best cocktail award goes to the pear and pomegranate martini was *chef's kiss* Great spot for happy hour and speedy service!

    Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
    Andi X.

    I had such an amazing meal at Jams last week. We ordered the crab rangoon egg rolls and they were HEAVENLY. They came with this delicious peanut sauce that I could have drank like water. They had a bit of a kick but I like spicy. We will definitely be ordering those again. I ordered a red sangria and it was just OK. Nothing fancy. I didn't taste any booze in it, it was filled with more ice than sangria and it was pretty pricey at $10. Hard pass on that one. The coconut chicken salad came highly recommended and that's what I ordered. It was absolutely perfect. One of the best salads Ive ever had and I can see why it was a best seller at Jams. It was out of this world! Slightly sweet sauce over the crispy chicken breast. Creamy avocados and hearty artichokes. Lightly dressed lettuce. Seriously. Perfect. Our waitress Madeline was so sweet and attentive. She immediately fixed a slight change on my order before I even saw it and checked on us regularly. Amazing experience from start to finish. I've been dreaming about that salad so I know I'll be back soon!

    Chicken sandwich
    Nathan D.

    Options | portions | Chicken Sandwich Options - there menu is pretty comprehensive. They have daily chef specials which rotate often, so be sure to check out that menu every day. Their standard menu has a comprehensive selection which a good amount of flavor and complex combinations. So before you change the meal, be sure to check with the chef to make sure you aren't messing up your pallet. Portions - their portions are pretty substantial given the price point. Their appetizer order of fries for example is a health bowl that easily satisfies a table of 4 and sufficiently satisfied a table of 6. The chicken sandwich was pretty large. The chicken is about 10-18% larger than the bun it comes with. The side of vegetables is pretty sizable as well. Chicken sandwich - I had the chicken sandwich minus cheese and bacon. It was great. The flavoring is savory and sweet and overall a unique taste when compared to the normal/standard chicken sandwich. I highly recommend and would definitely get it again. Pro tip: this restaurant is associated with the JAMS in old market. However, this restaurant is significantly smaller. So if you go during peak hours be sure to get a reservation. Pro tip: there is more than sufficient parking. They are located in a strip mall, therefore it's a massive parking lot.

    Midtown Meatloaf, Fish & Chips, and White Jams Sangria
    Li'Son H.

    They have my favorite white sangria with extra cherries always made right! The meatloaf and fish and chips are the best in the area. It's close to my home and I'm always excited to have date nights here. Great service!

    PARMESAN CHICKEN

    We ordered 3 Parmesan chicken so burnt they served them black. The Mac was good the rib eye questionable.

    Meg B.

    My first at this location was great! We we're sat in the party room, so we missed a little of the hustle and bustle of the main room but had great service. I didn't catch out servers name, but he made excellent drink recommendations, including being very candid about certain wines that we should avoid. We were thrilled with our wine choice. We had already snacked a bit before we arrived so we split an appetizer, the cashew chicken strips. They were a little too heavily breaded but had great flavor. Over all good experience and good service for a Saturday night.

The location in Countryside Village is a plus too, with a few other bars and spots right around the corner.

One exception worth calling out is the lunch special: the Timber Hacked salad and soup combo for around $22 is a nice, more balanced option and probably my favorite way to eat here. Lots of people love this place and it's easy to see why. Just know your palate going in.

One of my favorite things about Gather is honestly the staff. Sometimes when you go to a nicer restaurant, the service can feel a little intimidating or overly formal, but that has never been my experience here. The servers are always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and down-to-earth while still being knowledgeable and attentive. It makes the whole experience feel special without making you feel like you have to be on your best behavior just because you're eating somewhere nice. And the food is SO good. This is one of those places where I genuinely feel like you can order almost anything on the menu and be happy. Every dish I've tried has been flavorful, thoughtfully put together, and just really well executed. There's clearly a lot of care that goes into the ingredients and the way everything is prepared. It feels creative and elevated, but not so experimental that you're wondering what you're eating. It's still food you actually want to eat -- just done really, really well. The drinks are great too. They have a really nice selection, and the cocktails feel like they fit the restaurant perfectly: interesting enough to be memorable, but still approachable and actually enjoyable to drink. It's definitely the kind of place where I want to order a cocktail, take my time, and make a whole evening out of dinner. Also, DO NOT leave without going downstairs to see their indoor growing space. They grow leafy greens right there in the restaurant, and it is genuinely so cool to see. It's such a unique little part of the experience and makes you appreciate the whole farm-to-table concept even more when you can literally see some of the food being grown downstairs. Even if you're not normally someone who gets excited about that kind of thing, it's worth checking out. The restaurant itself is also just a really cute spot. It feels nice enough for a date night or special dinner, but still relaxed enough that you could come with friends and have a fun, comfortable night out. Overall, Gather is an easy recommendation for me. Amazing food, great drinks, genuinely kind and friendly service, a beautiful atmosphere, and the bonus of getting to see their indoor farm downstairs. It's one of those restaurants where the whole experience feels thoughtful from beginning to end. Definitely check it out -- and seriously, go downstairs!

I have zero problems with the food that they serve here, they always do an excellent job at preparing whatever they need to prepare & the portions are always satisfactory. As for the service, there are days where you will receive perfect service while on others the service is not so great. Some days you will be attended to in a timely manner, while there is other days where there isn't anyone available or willing to seat you somewhere. I've also experienced instances where they didn't attend to our table to take orders until I made a complaint. Most of these instances were during days where the place was virtually empty so it's not because of the place being busy. I've also ordered take out from here before, again some instances are perfect and there's other instances where they don't tell you if a certain food is out of stock via text or call so if you ordered something that isn't in stock, you're forced to wait for them to prepare something else once you arrive to pick up your order. They also don't always include syrup or butter in the takeout bags for chicken & waffles. One minor thing I'm also disappointed about is how the portion of grits has lessened over time, going from being served in a bowl to instead being served in a small cup/mug. Overall, I certainly don't return for the service because you never really know if it's going to be a good day or a bad day for that. It's always the food that brings me back. I do want to like this place, and I do to an extent but again the service is always unpredictable. I'd still say the food is worth coming here to see how it goes.
