    3 and 3 meal
    Kayla B.

    The lady who took our order was extremely nice and helpful. The chicken strips were good. More like Zaxbys but black pepper forward. Fries were basic. I did not care for the wings. They were very small and over cooked. The fried mushrooms were delicious! I also loved all the sauce choices.

    Hungry Meal with mac and cheese
    Claudia E.

    Not half bad! The anticipation for this opening was killing me, and seemingly everyone else in Etown because I came four days after opening for a late lunch and it was still very busy. I picked up some lunch to-go for my husband and me. For the both of us I ordered the hungry tender meal with mac and cheese (instead of fries), the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich that I got as a reward for downloading the app, and the pecan pie in a jar dessert. I love fried chicken a lot, and have very high standards. Was it the best fried chicken that I've ever had? No. But is it the best anywhere near Etown? By far. I especially liked the sandwich and the pecan pie dessert. The atmosphere is very lively, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Welcome to Etown, Slim Chickens!

    Tried this place out never had it before. It was a nice place to have lunch in. I got the chicken tenders and fry's and they were really worth it. hot and fast.

    Burned "Texas" toast (that's not Texas toast, just wonder bread). The soda I got was also flavorless. My husbands food wasn't much better

    The "Texas toast" is just burned wonder bread. Texas toast is thick cut, this is not that. We paid $24 for two meals and the fries was the only decent thing. The soda, root beer, that I ordered had no flavor. Way overpriced for what you get.

    First time I tried it, didn't care for it. Was too salty. May try it again in the future.

    We stopped here randomly while Just on a road trip and had some of the best burgers. I got a bison…read moreburger and it was great. Definitely the spot in town. It was really busy. Everything was such a cheap price!

    Sunday, 18 January 2026…read more Met friends at J.R. Neighbors for lunch. According to my friend, the have the best burgers in Etown! ‍ There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant (maybe 5, with 2-3 slots being reserved for handicap). There are nearby parking lots with plenty more parking. As it was a Sunday, we had no trouble finding parking. There were a few people ahead of us, maybe three different parties. My partner and I did not have to wait to be seated since the friends we were meeting had already arrived and got a table. We greeted our friends then reviewed the menu. Since it was around 12ish on a Sunday, only the brunch menu was available. Not long after, our waitress arrived to take drink orders. Shortly after that, and after the drinks arrived - pineapple mimosas, apple juice, and water, we ordered our food...mostly everyone had a burger. I had the Texan burger/sandwich which came on a Texas toast, hence the name, and my partner had the Newberry Smash burger (double). Each came with a choice of "regular" fries or tots. I wanted sweet potato fries, but again, since it was Sunday, only the brunch menu and what was displayed was available. So, I settled for regular fries. My burger was good albeit a bit messy with the sunny side egg running everywhere! The bacon topping the burger was perfectly done with the right crispy/crunchy consistency. My mimosas was refreshing except I did not get much of a pineapple taste. The fries were fresh and appropriately seasoned, not too salty and not too bland, just right. We were all full from our meals so we did not even consider dessert! The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded, so the atmosphere was quite. We sat by the windows and were not even distracted by the outside vehicles passing by. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend J.R. Neighbors to anyone looking for good burgers in a good atmosphere in Etown.

    I hadn't been to Texas Roadhouse in a few years given fitness training and meal planning I've been…read moredoing. I was quite excited when my daughter mentioned that we should visit. The rolls and cinnamon butter were always something I was fond of and looking forward to but their recipe seems to have changed from what I recall. The cinnamon butter wasn't as sweet as I remember it, and the bread not as hot and soft. I ordered a sirloin with salad and sweet potato. The steak was delicious, the salad not as robust with vegetables as I recall, and the sweet potato aggregate of cinnamon and butter not quite the same. I'm not sure if the recipes changed as they normally do over the years or whether I just don't appreciate it as much. Either way, I wasn't as impressed as I have been with other restaurants offering steak, salad, and sweet potatoes. Service was great. Hunter did a great job serving our needs and making sure everything was as good as it could be. They do offer a 10% military discount when you ask, although it's 10% off the main meal. We saved $1+. All four of us at the table were veterans and apparently eligible for the discount but it was only applied to the one meal. They have a virtual waitlist that you can add your name to in advance which I recommend to avoid too much of a wait.

Should have had some caution because (a) their sign had half the neon out and (b) only two cars in lot on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and given menus . My wife asked for water and lemon. I told the waitress I wanted a big glass of sweet tea. Lol. She brought a glass and a pitcher of tea! We decided to split the rib, pork, brisket and chicken combo. My wife chose a loaded baked potato and I the BBQ as sides. I wanted to upgrade fries to onion rings but those were off the menu. I walked around taking pics and noted dozens of trophies on display for BBQ. That made me feel better about coming. Our meals came surprisingly fast. Unfortunately that was also a bad sign. The combo plate came with their own BBQ sauce slathered over everything, no option for anything different. The meal was all barely warm, not hot enough to melt the butter on the potato or cornbread. Oh, we asked for bread and we're told they had no bread or rolls? Normally I prefer pulled pork and my wife chicken, not this time. Not a fan of the pork or brisket, I tried a riblet. It was horrible. Not only cold but very tough. Couldn't cut it with a knife, and hard to bite off the bone. Almost like it had been cooked and sat for awhile. My wife said the brisket was fair but didn't like the pork or chicken and her riblet was too tough to eat. I thought the chicken was fair and ate that, trying to wipe off the sauce. Not sure if they will be in business long if ours was an indication of the food. The trophies must have been another generation? Also noted as we left that their tall sign, to be visible from the Interstate, was off. The only reason for one star for the great server and great tea.

    I should have known better. But, despite mixed reviews, decided to try it…read more The cornbread muffin was good. The rest was an attempt to conceal lackluster meat with mediocre sauce. The brisket was torn up enough that it was nearly "pulled beef." And, again, all the meats were low on flavor. The ribs were ok; but with that many awards, should have been a lot better. Baked potato was good (but served lukewarm). The food looks good; but that's where 90% of the "good" stops. Friendly wait staff (hope they get good jobs when this place closes). All-in-all: Pass this one by.
