J's Corner Restaurant Bar - Columbia

Ashley welcomed us and did an excellent job of serving us hot delicious food and keeping our ice tea full and cold. Thanks Ashley and J's for a cool break on a hot day with great food and a nice place to enjoy it!Food: 5/5

J's used to be a great place to pick up food for us here in the Olympia area. Now they almost never pick up their phone. It's very hard to call in an order. Also, our favorite app fried veggies (zucchini, squash okra) which was maybe the best thing on the menu is now just okra, pickles or mix. Burgers are OK. Captain Crunch chicken tenders are weird and our 5 year old won't eat them. Service here seems to have gone way downhill since Covid.

Unfortunately this was a terrible choice for us. While the service was fine, the food was horrible and far overpriced. We were served small medallions of what was supposed to be a grilled chicken entree that had been overcooked to the point of being hockey pucks. The sides were equally small as well as bland or greasy. At $15.95 per plate, we expected far better. Never again!

I have been here twice now and both times the food has been top notch. The bacon ranch mac and cheese is so big that two people can easily split it and be very full. The smashed potatoes always have the perfect amount of seasoning and crisp. I have been impressed by the quality of food both times and everyone I have gone with has been equally impressed.

One of my favorites! Wonderful atmosphere, great food, relaxed environment, very accommodating, but it’s Matar, John, Elizabeth and the crew that keeps me coming back.
