I have dined here & gotten take out hundreds of times & rarely was something not perfect; assorted seafood including crab claws, popcorn shrimp,fish strips, pork chops, hamberger steak, new potatoes, gouda grits, okra, bread pudding, Key Lime west pie, large variety on the menu. A traditional meat & 3/2 is at lunch but at dinner live bands play most nights & alcohol drinks are served. A great casual venue... read more

Jan's Beach House Grill is strictly mediocre seafood, and I say this after making half-a-dozen or more trips to the restaurant. The oysters and the grouper I had on Tuesday evening were not delicious. As usual, the hush puppies were fried too hard with little flavor to them. But the worst item on my plate were the fried green tomatoes that were in a cardboard-like batter as thick as a sandwich, with no discernible tomato flavor or texture inside. In short, the whole side dish was unappealing. I've had the bread pudding in the past; it was not memorable. I like the atmosphere at Jan's and the service is always prompt and pleasant but I can't recommend the food. There's very little value for your money here. read more

ROACH INFESTATION. If only zero stars was avaliable. Had a reservation with Jans for a retirment party of 35 for 3 months. Found out through Wsfa the evening before the party that the State closed them down for a roach infestation. After commenting on Jans public facebook post about not recieving any sort of information from them about the closure I Got the run around from multiple people. 1 saying they had called me but couldnt get through. 2 others saying they never had a phone number for me at all. and several employees thought it would be a good idea to attack me. Magically those comments quickly disappeared. Thank goodness for screen shots. To top off the debacle somehow my aunt managed to get a call the day of the party from someone with yet again a different story. Thank god for Sinclairs saving the day. read more

Servicer was overwhelmed and no one helped her. Food was cold. It took forever to pay bill.

Took a while for our order to be taken even though nobody around us had food. Ordered the hamburger steak, first they were out of onions, when the food came out, that's when the server told us they were out of gravy and rice and proceeded to serve us a naked hamburger steak with different sides than what was ordered. The patty melt was good but very thick and dry. Fries were under cooked. They claim they close at 9, business hours say 10. Men bathroom wreaked of urine. read more

Jan's Beach House Grill - Patty melt dinner. - American Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

I love it when a random restaurant choice turns out to be the best night ever!!! We had such a great time at Jans. After driving 8hrs we wanted a drink and a nice dinner- we got so much more! Drinks and food were great and the live band was outstanding! The staff were on top of things and still took time to be friendly. The bartenders even asked our names when introducing themselves- when does that ever happen??? read more

We were seated immediately,and had our food within minutes.Food was good and portions were ample for the price.Decor is a beach theme and restaurant is very clean. read more

Jan Beach House always has wonderful food. Been told that they're gonna close down because the people that own it are selling the land. I would definitely miss Jan Beach House because their food is always good and hot and people are super kind. Sorry to hear that they're gonna have to close. read more

The wife I and I were in town and decided to try lunch at this place based on Yelp reviews. Everyone was super nice and the food was really good. The wife got a sandwich she said was delicious and my lunch was really good. I understand the dinner menu is different so maybe next time in town we will try. Lunch specials are meat and three types. read more

Wonderful spot. Good service, even better food. Didn't expect the amount of variety. Not your typical bar food menu.

Great service, great good, and awesome atmosphere! We ate a Jan's Beach House tonight and had a great time. The atmosphere is great, the service was quick and we were treated as family. They have a big menus and a full bar with live music. read more

If you've never been to Jan's and you enjoy good food, live music and friendly servers that make you feel like you've been friends forever you've got to try them out. We (my extended family) always book the party room when we are celebrating birthdays. We've always had a great experience there. The staff is great, the music is great...usually singing and playing music from the 70's through the 90's. It's so good that you'll usually find several customers getting on the floor to dance to the music after dining. The Fillet Mignon with Shrimp & Lump Crab is delicious and a bargain at just a little over $25. The Beach House Platter for Two at $21.95 can't be beat which includes 6 grouper fingers (grilled or fried), 8 shrimp (grilled or fried) and 6 fried oysters plus 4 sides and hush puppies to boot! Appetizers abound, although my favorite is fried green tomatoes and I can't bring myself to order any other; and there homemade desserts are a great end to the evening with many varieties to satisfy any sweet tooth. The bread pudding is my favorite but I've tried them all and none will disappoint. So if you're looking for something different in Montgomery and a taste that's as fresh as the beach please give them a try, you won't be sorry you did. read more

Excellent food and good price for this road warrior who tries to stay away from chains. Loved the live music too. Always a bonus.

We were just passing through, and lucked out. The food and service were excellent. And, the live music was wonderful. Great evening.

Ambiance is difficult to describe. Like a beach/sports bar with a large restaurant area. Service was friendly, prompt and efficient. The seafood is tasted fresh and was well prepared. Price was reasonable for the experience. read more

Fast, friendly service! I had the 8oz filet and it was the best I've EVER had! I've been to Fleming's I've been to Ruth's Chris and Jan's steak was without a doubt better than both of those. The staff are the nicest people you'll ever meet. If you're anywhere near Jan's you should go out of your way to get there! read more

I came in on a Wednesday afternoon around 12:30. This was definitely a hidden gem in my opinion. Staff was so gentle and friendly ready to help in any way they could! The menu may seem small compared to big chains, but boy do they pack flavor in every bite! Everything about Jan's felt cozy and welcoming. I'll definitely be back! read more

The food is delicious and the service was very good. I love the beach theme. We were greeted and seated immediately and the server was fast and friendly. read more

Food was good, service was a little slow. Lighting was low making it a little hard to see the menu. I'd go back!

Awesome place to be with friends. Good food at great prices. Excellent entertainment.

Jan's Beach House Grill isn't in the best area of Montgomery. Definitely has a bar-on-the-beach kind of feel. Patrons frequent the bar at all times of day. Along with the beachy bar theme, this place isn't the cleanest. The food is not great, the Rueben is way too salty. Service takes FOREVER. This is not a quick place to go for lunch. read more

Some friends invited us for lunch and let me tell you it is absolutely a gem!! They are known for friend grouper finger and gumbo. We ordered both and needless to say- they very great. Hot, fresh grouper was crispy and excellent flavor. Blueberry white chocolate cheese cake - no less than amazing!!! OMGosh amazing. Old fashioned burger - toasted bun on geill read more

You have to pay $5 to sit at the bar if you're alone and not drinking. Even if there are plenty of available seats. Sad, because I work 2 doors down from there and I was hoping to be a regular because I've heard good things. read more

Good meat and 3 place. Had week-day lunch, music in the evening and a regular menu. Service was outstanding, a little slow getting the food out of the kitchen, worth the wait. read more

Great Food, Great Live Music, Great Atmosphere! The Steak and Crab Claws were fantastic!

Great place ... they were very accommodating due to my kids and their loudness & Messiness. It's hard to go places now days with people giving you that evil glare because your kids are screaming & throwing tantrums. The food was great ! Our server Cece was great she is definitely one to go to if your looking for a fast & friendly waitress read more

Jan's Beach House Grill - I ordered the seafood platter - American Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Walked into a very friendly atmosphere with a gentleman playing the guitar in the corner who happens to be a huge fan of Chet Atkins and was very, very good! Pleasant surprise, sure beats the war splitting music you sometimes have to put up with at some restaurants. Ordered the small (6) fried jumbo shrimp platter and was tempted to try the Gouda Grits as a side, but being a relocated Yankee, just couldn't bring myself to do it - but was tempted! The shrimp were a nice size, cooked perfect and the cocktail sauce had a nice little zip to it. The cold slaw was good but the best part of the meal was the music. This guy was really good! Will be back for sure the next time I'm in Montgomery. read more

Great customer service & exceptional tasty food.Everyone was friendly. Server very attentive, Casual& Comfortable environment.

Our food was awesome! We had the chicken bites and fried green tomatoes as appetizers! The chicken was very good and tender. The fried green tomatoes were ok. They were fresh but no seasoning on them. For main meal I had the old fashioned hamburger with bacon and cheese. It comes with fries. So freaking good! We also had the blackened blue hamburger and this was delicious! We will definitely come back next time we are in town. Our waiter Grant was so attentive! He made sure we were taken care of and we appreciate it! I highly recommend! read more

Stopped here because of the big flamingo outside. Please with our food selection, good prices.

This is probably the best seafood I have had in Montgomery. I have never been disappointed by the food, but the service has let me down several times. Orders have been wrong several times and one time we waited 45 minutes for a special. read more

100% completely unremarkable. Wife and I tried it for lunch on a Friday (that was our first mistake) and it was very crowded. Everything on the menu could be cooked just as well, if not better, straight from grocery store freezer to my microwave. read more

Awesomeness in a comfortable environment. I knew my stomach and I was going to have a good time. My family and I going to explore the menu. read more
