JJ's Kitchen & Bar is a casual steakhouse & sports bar with a large selection of Asian food as well.
I stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. I'll admit a gift certificate (from Cruz FM) brought me in but great service and food will bring me back.
I was greeted immediately by a server and told to sit wherever I liked. It was quiet so she was the only server on duty. I was flying solo that afternoon but asked if it would be okay if I placed a takeout order after I finished eating so I could bring food back for my wife. I assured that it would be no problem. All good.
I ordered the steak sandwich which comes with garlic toast and fries. The 8 oz AAA sirloin was great. You don't always get the best cuts of meat when ordering a sandwich but this one was very good. I'd like to give you some wordy description such as mouth-watering, succulent, blah, blah, but I think you get the idea. I posted a photo anyway. I ordered my wife's food when the sandwich was brought to me and by sheer coincidence or great timing it was ready and boxed up when I was ready to leave.
My wife's order was the Prawns with Angel Hair as well some Vietnamese Spring Rolls on the side. Angel hair pasta can be a bit tricky to cook just right because it's so thin and easy to overcook. The fact that it was in a takeout container made it hard to judge. She liked it though. It came with 8 good-size pieces of shrimp so she was happy. She thought it was a bit different that the Spring Rolls came with plum sauce as opposed to fish sauce but the price was right. It was 6 rolls for 7 dollars. Not a bad deal.
Just want to give another shout out to the server whose name I never got. She was very nice and attentive. My water was refilled 3 or 4 times and when I handed her the gift certificate she was cool. Sometimes restaurant staff look at you like you're handing them Monopoly money when you have a GC.
Thanks again. I look forward to coming back. read more
