    Kimi Kakes

    Had the KIMI KAKES for breakfast. Excellent. Got my favorites all in one. Ate one and enough to take one home. Give it a try...

    Half eaten Panther-Fried Omelet - Regular
    Jennifer F.

    I traveled here for work. I was told that I HAD to go to Js and more specifically if I went to Js to order the panther omelette. This omelette was huge. Way bigger than expected. I walked in and loved it immediately lots of support to the local university, and felt right at home with my server greeting me immediately. I was served quickly and paid attention to the entire time and really enjoyed the old school vibe of a good morning coffee. I ate half of my omelette and ate the other half for my lunch later on.

    Great service, amazing environment and even better food. Nothing but good things to say about J's Homestyle cooking!

    Veggie omelette & a blueberry pancake.

    This pancake was the best darn pancakes I've had in years! Omelette was delicious, hash browns were crisp and that English muffin almost stole the show. Butterfly, dense, chewy, toasty...

    Not bad! Typical diner/dive food. Reasonably priced and would be a great post hangover restaurant. Home made desserts are the highlight.

    BEWARE: Wilbo's Burgers Brats & Beers adds an extra 15% fee on all carryout orders...and worse, it…read moreis added AFTER tax! I placed a phone order and was quoted a total based on food + tax. No mention of the carryout surcharge. When I showed up, I learned that the final total included an extra 15% without warning. The way it is calculated is: Items + Tax = Subtotal. Subtotal + 15% Surcharge = what you ACTUALLY pay. When I confronted them about this, the manager stated that it was "to help the chefs in the back." To which I responded: "Maybe you should pay your employees what they deserve instead of dumping your responsibilities onto your customers." The issue isn't just that a surcharge was added, though I still find it unreasonable, but that it was never mentioned beforehand. It felt intentionally hidden and was added without any disclosure, which comes off as really sneaky and unprofessional. We had the Wilbo Combo, Build Your Own Burger, and The Spicy One Brat. The food was decent, but the business practices were extremely disappointing. Overall: I do NOT recommend coming here! I will NOT be coming back here!

    In town for some personal business and had time to kill so we decided to find a local place for…read morelunch. Per my usual when it comes to deciding factors, the name drew us in to The Flying Elbow. Super cute place - simple. Very clean. Straightforward. The menu is on the wall, above the same counter where you order. Staff was helpful and friendly. My husband got a burger - The Patterson. The gentleman taking his order was kind enough to switch out the bread since my hubs isn't a fan of jalapeño. He recommended Texas toast, which the hubs was grateful for and he LOVED it. It was just the right amount of messy, juicy, and YUM. I got the all-beef hotdog with chili, cheese, and green onions. It was delicious. My only recommendation would be putting the cheese under the chili so that it melts (or run it under the broiler for a sec) and gets super gooey. Otherwise, the chili was awesome and tasted great with the dog. I'd definitely get it again. BUT, the kicker of the whole meal, the absolute "must go back" item was the tots. HO. LY. COW. We got one order to share and just figured we were getting regular old tator tots. But NO. The order was six tots that were each about the size of a ping pong ball and they were the MOST epic little flavor bombs. I know they had potato, cheese, and bacon in them ... not sure what else they add to create that little ball-o-flavor but MAN. If you're in the area, this place should be on your list of "must try." If you're not, those tots are worth the trip.
