Tonight I talked to my mother, a consistent patron of JJ's despite getting food-borne illness from their chicken wrap twice. She and my stepdad had just come from a funeral and she wanted comfort food. She asked their waiter, Brad, if she could get a grilled cheese and he said that management had advised the wait staff that adults are not to order from the kids menu. Seriously, management? You're going to have your employees tell seniors that they cannot order from the kids menu?! Despite her disappointment, she says that Brad was very nice and a good waiter. Alpena might not have an over abundance of restaurants, but JJ's is NOT it. I'd eat Applebees for the rest of my life to avoid going to JJ's again.

A hidden gem in North Michigan!…read more I was visiting Alpena for a diving trip and was recommended this place. Specifically the Fire Burger and their Poutine. Our party was 6, they gave us "outdoor beers" and a pager. When a table opened up we sat down and I was immediately impressed. Our server was friendly and helpful, super sweet. She handled our accommodations (one of my friends had a lot of specific "requests" for his meal.) We got the poutine and mozzarella sticks for our appetizers... holy sh*t.... The poutine was INCREDIBLE. The mozzarella sticks were clearly house made. Just absolute perfection. I took the recommendations of my friend, and got the Fire Burger... insane. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great beers. Great apps. Great burger. Just an all round great time. You owe it to yourself to try this spot.... And if you don't think so, you probably hate puppies and America.

This was the only one in town so we came in around 7:30pm as they close at 9:30pm which would allow us 2 hours if we needed it. As soon as we walked in one of the employee's asked for the size of our party and seated us promptly along with what we would like for drinks. A variety of soda to pick from but we stuck with water. From there we made our way to the corner which is where they had all their items. In the center is their chinese food where you can find fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken etc. etc. There were a couple dishes which I haven't heard of before so it was only natural to try it out. A coconut chicken is what I picked up and it just wasn't my thing so that was on the plate when I left to get a new plate. The fried rice was probably my favorite (bias because I really wanted rice) Along with the Orange Chicken. Other than that everything else was what you would expect. On the wall side there was actually some american food such as Ribs and Fried Chicken. To the very corner there was also a small assortment of desserts like cake along with ice cream adjacent to it. Food wise would be a 3 but giving the extra 4th for the quick service and kind hospitality. It was very cute around 8:30pm they take over a long table and the cooks bring out specific containers freshly made so that the staff can all eat dinner together and or when they could. They left our bill at the table and just waited for them to finish up so they weren't rushed.
