I've worked in Burlington for almost 19 years and during that time I've seen it grow quite a bit…read more While I don't necessarily have the data to back it up I can joke about Burlington having the most pubs per square km or per capita because it just seems that way. For a city that has roughly under 200k in population they sure do have a lot of places to grab a beer between Fairview to Dundas and from Brant to Appleby. Jersey's just happen to fall into that square of streets I mentioned as do many and I do mean many places. My list of places to eat in Burlington for lunch is littered with places like Jersey's whether they're a chain or a smaller indy type place from QB's to Fionn Macool's to Beertown there are many choices within a 10 minute drive of where I have been working for almost 2 decades... and then there's Jersey's. Jersey's is like a pool hall that just happens to have a bar that just happens to serve food. I mean the foot print for this place is huge. Considering it's in a strip mall tucked away in off a side street (Headon) off a major street (Upper Middle) and I honestly can't say how long this place has been around because it's not exactly conspicuous. Still, for having worked a long time in the area I can't say I've noticed the place. I've probably only been to this strip mall maybe one other time to buy wings at a take out place so it's not common we come around this area really. When I say we I mean my colleagues that go out for lunch every Friday because that's what we do, we go out and have lunch on the last work day of the week on the regular. Aesthetics? Who cares, right? I mean sometimes looks can be deceiving. This place has a breathalyzer that you can test yourself before you leave for a toonie. Big tv's, a big photo of Kessel as a Leaf on the wall and a "skill" machine to play video slots? Oh a bar too and if you look around you'll also see pool tables because who doesn't like to play. OK so this place is not beer town but they're not trying to be that. Jersey's to me just looks like a place to be comfortable and hang out, have fun, eat, drink and just chill. The menu is diverse enough and the food value for the portions and quality are pretty damn impressive. I mean really, how many places have their top of the line burgers for under 15 bucks nowadays? Oh the burgers aren't formed frozen disks either. Mine crumbled just like home made and I forgot to mention these are half pound patties. I upgraded my side to a generous side bowl of poutine for 2.50 and domestic pints were 5 bucks. Who does that? Never mind the place comparatively undercharges but the food is no slouch either. The service was refreshing to say the least. Our server was funny and informal but still polite and efficient. Now I have to say out of all the places there are to eat in Burlington for about an hour in all the years I've ever worked here this place felt more like home than any other. Yes, I spent under an hour here and it was the most comfortable and pleasant experience to date. It was just my kind of place which is laid the F back, easy going, casual with good food and better than decent prices. If I had to explain the place I'd have to say it has a simple old school vibe that's not contrived. It's not a brand new Rolling Stones t shirt sold on Queen Street west in some hipster store. It's the original damn Rolling Stones t shirt from the 70's. There's something to be said about way back authenticity. Welcome to it.

Reservation: Request done via e-mail. The owner Bruno was very good and helpful. Rating 4.5/5…read morestars. Food: Ordered the soup of the day tonight. It was turkey vegetable It was extremely salty to the taste and was a generous size bowl serving. Chicken Butts: Boneless chicken fried and coated with buffalo sauce. It was not spicy at all and only 6 smallish sized pieces. Could be a bit better. 3/5 Server: Not attentive at all. i had to go to the bar to flag someone down and have her tell the server that i wanted to order some food and had waited over 2 hrs. She kept avoiding me. Not good for the server and so she's not going to get a tip. She didn't even come by to ask if my bf wanted another drink. 0/5 stars. Entertainment: Lots of tvs with sports playing at all times. Friday music night was awesome though! It is a local band and the sound system was amazing. They sounded wonderful! 5/5

Appetizers were brought out by another server than ours and didn't know what table it was for so she brought it back to the kitchen for someone else to bring it out and walk around asking if it belonged to them. I told her it was ours she dropped it on the table and left. After dinner arrived we didn't see our server again till we were done. No more drinks offered. Server came to clear half the table and said she would be back because she couldn't carry it all to the kitchen then she proceeded to take other orders from tables and then go to the bar to get other drinks and came back 10 minutes later with our bill. No dessert offered.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!
