    Deviled Eggs - 3 Pieces
    Ben J.

    Came back to Lancaster for the first time in 40 years to catch up with an old friend. We met at JB's Downtown Grill, a quaint place on North Columbus Street. Very friendly greeting by my waitress as I sat and waited. While waiting, I asked to try their French onion soup (which I love) but unfortunately it wasn't available. So I went with the second best thing, their deviled eggs. Haven't eaten deviled eggs in a long time and I so enjoyed these. My buddy arrived and we both ordered the pork belly BLT on a hoagie roll. Upgraded my side to their onion rings. Loved the sandwich, a nice and different take on the BLT. Our server was terrific, checked on us repeatedly and refilled our drinks as we got caught up. Really enjoyed the experience.

    Spring salad with Italian dressing

    My mom, sister and I meet up in Lancaster often, and JB's Downtown Grill has become our go-to place. JB's has a pretty big menu. Their salads are pretty big. Each comes in half or full size. My mom and sister are partial to the Greek salad and I love the Spring salad. The Spring salad comes with pineapple, grapes and candied nuts. It is an odd combination in my mind, but it is truly delicious with Italian dressing. All their sandwiches we've tried have been great. The classic slider with cheddar is my favorite. I can't explain why their burgers are so good, but I can say that I think it's my favorite burger I've had. (What?! I know.) The only thing I don't love at JB's are the fries. They're OK, I just prefer fries to be crisp and these are kinda soggy. All in all, JB's is absolutely worth your time. Give it a try!

    The salad was very fresh and tasty. I absolutely loved the sweetness in the homemade Italian dressing. I also had the baby classic hamburger which was cooked perfectly. The service was quick. My husband had the buffalo chicken wrap with natural cut fries which he also enjoyed. I wanted to try the Texas sheet cake but was just too full to do so. We will be back!

    Food was outstanding absolutely loved the onion rings, food didn't take no more than about 20 minutes and the onion rings were the best hand, battered onion rings I've had in a long time ! Definitely recommend if you're stopping for a quick bite to eat and want to really good burger!!!

    Nice little place in Lancaster. Sandwiches are really good. Tried the fried fish and the Cuban. The fries had great flavor but were not crisp. That's the only reason for a four. Service was great and friendly. Price isn't bad.

    We had breakfast and it was delicious. The garlic hash browns were the best hash browns I've ever had.

    My husband and I went to this diner/bar for a late lunch. The bartender server was attentive to our…read moreneeds. She took our order quickly and she brought our drinks. This was clearly a neighborhood bar. There were 4 people at the bar who knew each other. The restaurant was quiet enough that we could carry on a conversation comfortably. I ordered the cheeseburger and french fries. My cheeseburger was very good. My french fries were greasy and soggy. My husband ordered the broccoli and cheese soup with the ham and cheese grilled sandwich. His sandwich was missing the ham. He enjoyed his food and chose not to complain. The prices were great. The service was quick I don't know if this was an off day and the grease wasn't hot enough in the afternoon but I really love french fries and I was disappointed with them. I am not sure if we will come back.

    There's one bartender that's really nice. The rest of them treat you like you're a problem,…read morenuisance, inconvenience, etc. Then you have one of the bartenders who told one of the other guests that I look like a drug addict when I've never touched drugs in my life. I have health problems that i obviously don't tell every single person I meet about. I won't ever set foot in this bar again. Especially when they think I'm a drug addict. So yea, if you're not perfect looking in their eyes, they'll gossip about you to their friends who patronize the establishment. The food there isn't good either. My 13 year old can cook better than what they provide. I wanted to like this place but it's kinda hard.
