    The Authentic Beef Shawarma Wrap 11"
    Ivan J.

    This was our choice after debate for our tv date night. Everything, I mean everything was delicious! It showed up warm, which is always a plus! The misses never had shawarma, and she loved it! It was all perfectly cooked and spiced! I'm Rating the food only. It's a 5. Even through door dash it was affordable for us. We had the shawarma melt, beef shawarma, tex-mex chicken press, and the Mediterranean side Salad. The only gripe I have is the prices for extra sauces and the size of the melt was small. But that's it. The fries that came with one of our meals were also good! I'm not going through go through every dish, it was all excellent. I will add this. We got the small tatziki, and this was the best TATZIKI we have ever had. It was different. It was "stringy". Not the way we have usually have it. I can see some being thrown off with the texture, but give it a shot! Trust me. Better yet our hack is to mix chili sauce in our tatziki! We do it everywhere! Great place highly recommend, especially if you have family or friends that want to try different foods, this is delicious and not too far off or crazy for them to dip their toes into other cultures!

    FIRST TIME VISIT! This location is inside the Walmart on Potranco. Welp, I'll give them credit where it is due... the service was very nice. I walked up and was perusing the menu as a worker approached me from behind the counter. I let him know it was my first visit so he walked me through the menu items and process of choosing an entree with protein and side. He was so informative! Contrary to food items on display on both the posters on the walls and all over the paper tray liner, the menu was very limited. In addition, the food is not fresh or tasty. I am obsessed with garlic sauce and theirs tastes simply as garlic flavored mayonnaise. The meat was dried out and rice was flavorless. I also became quite ill after eating here. Bummer because I LOVE Mediterranean cuisine and I LOVE giving great reviews, but I simply could not today. I would love to see this place improve.

    Disgusting

    This place is terrible. I should have known when I called up there no one answered the phone. But I took a chance and ordered two shawarma (one chicken and one beef) and fries and a kids quesadilla with fries and a lemonade. It really tasted old and very nasty. Do better for your customers. Do better for your community. Do better for yourselves!!!!

    This was my first time here and the young man at the counter was very helpful. My mom had the Tex-Mex wrap, it was flavorful and the veggies crispy just the was she liked it. I ordered the Tandoori press which was just the right amount of spicy! The fries were delicious too! Over all this was a great first experience and I will definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Never did I expect to find a whole restaurant dedicated to chicken salads, but it actually makes for a very satisfying lunch spot. They have daily specials and on Friday we were excited for their tomato bisque. I tried their pimento cheese chicken salad, and sorta regretted it because it was very sweet when sandwiched in a croissant as my bread. My partner picked their new Jill pickle chicken salad on wheat and as a BLT, it was a much more savory option. We split and swapped our sandwiches which made for a good balance. I also tried their broccoli salad as my side and liked it. It had a light mayo dressing and a bit of cheese and bacon. Their tea options were also good and I drank their peach ice tea. Next time I want to try their buffalo chicken salad or maybe take home one of their to-go portions as an easy meal for the week. I support this restaurant concept! It's so smart that it's next to a healthy grocery store like Sprouts. The food came out super quick too!

    So for various reasons, nothing to do with the food here, I haven't been in quite a while. But that…read morechicken salad BLT sandwich has stayed in my mind making me drool at night, sometimes after they're closed. So today I decided it was time to revisit. It's a little hard for me to eat inside restaurants anymore so I do mostly takeout, especially take out brought to my car. Just less pain for me. But OH this is worth the discomfort. Not that it's hard for handicapped. Parking is close to the building and handicap parking is close. It's easy to push open the door and plenty of room to walk or wheel through. I happened to stumble upon customer appreciation day, so was instantly greeted and handed a cup of Carol's chicken salad to take home. Wonderful surprise. Now I have to talk about the staff here. Always so friendly and helpful. And they don't just stand behind the counter. They come out and help. There are a number, a lot of varieties of fillings to choose from. They offer samples of any you wish to try. So you see it could take a while but it really doesn't. What with my pain and some new varieties since my last visit I was a little scatter brained. But they treated me like a loved friend or family member not annoyed at all. She even noticed my military ID when I got my credit card out and gave me that discount automatically. I also sat where I could see them react with the take out and pick up customers. Again smiling, friendly, helpful...helped to carry out or check the order. Could not have been nicer. Had them sit if not ready and brought to the table. So really above 5 star on that! Now the food. Not quite five star...but maybe that's me. Maybe I ordered wrong. It's been a while and I'm really nitpicking here. The bread on my sandwich seemed to be grilled, not toasted. Only one side of the bread was toasted and it was both very thin bread but also very limp and floppy. Maybe toasted on the menu meant grilled? The other tiny thing and again really nitpicking is my bacon. It was not warm...so it didn't have the best flavor profile it could bring to the sandwich. Now was this a bad sandwich? Not at all, it was a great sandwich which I gobbled and enjoyed. But those two touches have pushed this sandwich to even more stars before. Again I'm nitpicking this sandwich. The soup was great. I was getting another flavor and the photo made me change. It was fantastic ditto the grape salad, cookie, great pickle. Highly recommend...

The ingredients were all farm fresh. The wrap was full and plentiful. My wife could only eat half. The area we found for improvement would be to offer salsa on the side for the wraps. They do not heavily salt the food, which I think is a good thing. It allows the flavor of the fresh ingredients to shine. However, without salsa, you feel the wrap needs salt. As for the wait time, it was longer than we are accustomed to. This is not a fast food restaurant. This is a quality specialty restaurant. If you plan to visit, understand that your food is being made fresh with fresh, healthy, natural ingredients, not food that has been sitting under heat lamps. It will be worth the wait. Just be sure you plan for it. I will definitely be back. Gotta try the burgers.

The cashier asked what rice I wanted and she told me the options, so I said Ill try the turmeric and didnt think to ask if there was extra cost, but it was a dollar extra.

Our salad, appetizer, and entrees were all brought out at the same time, which made the meal feel rushed and unorganized rather than paced properly. The bigger concern came after we got home. The leftover salad we brought with us contained what appeared to be a half-eaten pepper inside the container. This raised serious concerns about food freshness and handling, as it looked like the salad may not have been properly prepared or was possibly reused. Overall, this experience left us uncomfortable and questioning the restaurant's quality control. We hope this is addressed so future customers don't have the same experience.

Their Toast payment screen suggested tip percentages based on the original bill of $261.05, even though our actual total due was only $187.08. That means the "18%, 20%, and 25%" buttons were calculating tips on an amount nearly $74 higher than what we actually owed, which inflates the suggested tip by a significant amount. Most people are paying quickly and trusting the machine, so this setup absolutely feels designed to push customers into over-tipping without realizing it. Tipping should be based on the final amount owed, not an inflated pre-discount number. Management really needs to fix this because it leaves customers feeling misled at the very end of their meal.

Even on busy weekends, managers were constantly checking on guests, the self-serve bars were fully stocked, and the servers were knowledgeable about the menu and enthusiastic about the experience. It felt like they were trying to showcase Japanese barbecue and hot pot--not just serve a meal. Fast forward to today's visit... what happened? From the moment we walked in, the hostess acted like our arrival was an inconvenience, despite greeting customers being the job description. Our server was pleasant enough, but completely lacked enthusiasm for the product. At one point, when discussing an item, the response was essentially, "If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it." Fair enough--but that's light-years away from the hospitality we experienced just a few months ago. The self-serve stations have apparently changed, and several items now have to be ordered through the server. That's perfectly fine, but it would've been nice if someone had explained that at the beginning of the meal instead of us discovering it near the end. Then there were the bathrooms... I'm not a restaurant owner, but if you're open during Saturday lunch in the middle of a shopping center and business appears slower than it once was, you'd think keeping the restrooms clean would be a manageable priority. Soap dispensers were hanging off the wall, paper towels were stacked all over the bathroom, trash covered the floors, and--ironically--I found the napkins I couldn't get at my table... in the restroom. The employees clearing tables looked less like restaurant staff and more like high school students serving detention or trying to earn extra credit. The whole place feels like it lost its identity. What was once a polished, family-friendly restaurant with pride in the experience now gives off a "Come on, man... it's not that big of a deal if things are a little gross. We're trying our hardest." vibe. J-Pot used to have standards. Somewhere along the way, those standards seem to have been replaced by cost-cutting and indifference. The food is still good(ish, but that for a different time), but the experience that made this place special has largely disappeared--and that's the most disappointing part. Will JPot bounce back? Or will Jpot succumb to the lackadaisical labor mentality of the modern day employee (I blame communism) and commit seppuku??? The world awaits....
