I've been to JJ's previously a year or 2 ago ! Used to be one of our steady hangouts to enjoy good friends, good music and AWESOME food.!! Just been deathly sick past couple years and wasn't able to get out a much!! Aside from that!! JJ & Terry are AWESOME! Just absolutely love them so much!! They treat everyone they meet like family if you deserve to be treated that way as long as you come in with a great attitude and respect!! If you want respect you gotta give respect!!

It is very much a country bar. But I love their bartender Em. I'll keep coming back as long as this bar feels this welcome.
