We started with cheese curds. Loved that they were batter fried and not breaded. Very tasty and a huge app portion. My entree was the pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans. Everything was very good. Pork had a savory flavor and it was nice and tender. Portions were large. Topped it all off with a Hazy Little Thing beer. Great service. Easy parking. Just off a major road. Great stop.

He told me back then that someday we needed to check out J&J's. We love small business, local, non-chain restaurants. I decided to surprise my husband and take him to J&J's for Father's Day. We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!

We went to Just Love at about 11:45 on a Thursday morning. It was not very crowded, which I had…read moreexpected. It is in a little strip mall and has a drive-through. There is plenty of parking in the mall's lot. There is handicap parking, but it is in front of the next store down. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, as well as a couple tables. The tables are pretty close to the drive-through so if that will annoy you, avoid them. Inside is bright and cheerful, good space with plenty of tables for a crowd. A few of the tables seemed to be a little closer to each other than they needed to be, but they were fine. When we first decided to go here, we thought it was a small, independent store, but it is a franchise. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. There are two all gender bathrooms, cute art, and merch that includes bags of their coffee. My husband had the breakfast burrito and gave it a 7 out of 10. Apparently on the website it said it came with cream cheese, but that is an error because it did come with sour cream. He said it was good, not super fancy. It was cooked in a waffle iron so it was nice and hot. In fact I think everything here is cooked in a waffle iron. He also had a mocha which was very good and chocolatey. I had Nana's cinnamon rolls (also cooked in a waffle iron. They come either with two or with four. They are fairly small so I went with four, which ended up being about one more than I could eat.. They were good. There was a good amount of cinnamon, which is important to me, and the frosting was good. They were sweet, but not overly so. They were not very gooey, but they were good so that didn't matter. I had the "Cha Cha Latte". Which was very good. We will be back.

We opted for two of their signature drinks. They were good, a bit in the sweet side. They seem known for their mini cinnamon rolls which looked good but also very gooey and likely very sweet as well. They did have other breakfast options that looked good. It seemed it was more than a coffee shop but not quite a full meal spot if that makes sense. It's in a strip mall so plenty of parking and they recently put in a small patio which will be good come warmer weather. If I lived closer or am in the area I'd probably try again but likely won't go out of my way for a repeat visit.

Meat and eggs, we got kielbasa, was good as well though we didnt care much for the american fries, they were kinda soft and needed a little more cook time as with the english muffin which could have been a little more toasty. The inside space is a lot bigger than you would assume from the ouwell. Prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking in the lot. Service was good as well.

The toppings were great, but the waffle itself didn't seem very fresh and was a little tough. Still a really solid spot overall and we'll definitely be back.

The biggest caveat is the price, with most dishes sitting around $16-$19, even for simple items like a sandwich and fries. That being said, the taste was worth the cost of admission.

I love this place. I've eaten here a couple of times and have always been impressed. I just wish…read moreit wasn't so far away, up in Blaine (seemingly just south of Duluth -- kidding). Everything seems fresh and homemade. I LOVE hot turkey sandwiches and consider myself a turkey sandwich snob because the quality of different restaurants vary so much. Carol's is the real deal with obviously hand-carved pieces of real turkey that are as good as Thanksgiving leftovers from your mom (assuming your mom was a great cook). The gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce were equally excellent. My wife had a tuna sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. Service was quick and friendly. Although the inside of Carol's reminds you of Perkins, the food quality is consistently high. I have not been here for breakfast, but that seems to be another of their specialties. It's impressive to find an old-time, high quality, high variety diner experience in town (well, almost in town) and I'm so happy that places like Carol's still exist.

Ambience was good and our server was attentive. Parking is in a shared lot, so it's a little hard to find parking near the restaurant. I do wish the waitlist feature was a bit more helpful - this OPH allows you to join a waitlist, but never shares where in line you are which makes it tough to gauge when to show up/join the waitlist. Overall, I'll definitely be picking this OPH over some others due to the faster service!

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

The gps sent me to a roundabout and told me the restaurant was the center of the roundabout. had to go back to the main road and detour all the way around then there was signs. Its seat yourself. You order at the counter or via QR code via your phone and they bring your food to you. I ordered an impossible cheeseburger + fries & a dirty soda. Everything was good. They had a walleye fish special going on, my friends shared that & fries for their meal. Not much interaction w/ staff as it's mostly help yourself but someone did come out and greet us and made sure we knew how the ordering process worked.
