It's worth going a bit out of yourxway to go to K & J's.
We try to make it up there at least once a month, bit sometimes we have it delivered. Their delivery radius is larger than typical, so it couldn't hurt to ask even if you think you're too far away.
My husband wanted to try this place and I have to admit, walking in there the first time, I didn't have high hopes. I've been to a lot of country cafés that looked like this, and I'm used to a simple and limited menu and a lot of stuff frozen or from cans. I ordered the ravioli special and my husband had a burger. The ravioli was good, the sauce was home made. But my husband raved about his hamburger. He's quite the aficionado, and he was quick to declare that he would have expected to pay near twice as much for a burger of that quality. We've been back several times since they opened earlier this year and we have never been disappointed. We were a bit skeptical when they added pizza to their menu a month or two ago, but tonight we decided to try it. It's our new favorite pizza in the area. It's real New York style, big and flat with a foldable, chewy crust and a sauce that is flavorful and not at all sweet. The prices are good value, the owners are friendly, and food is worth the trip to Forest City. read more
