I've been going to EJ's for on and off for several years. The food has always been good, and I've never had any issues with the staff. I wasn't aware of ownership changes that have been mentioned in recent reviews, but the only differences I have seen would be changes in the menu offerings. The food has stayed consistently good.
My most recent visits I had the "Motherclucker" which was pretty good, was a relatively large chicken breast, with very good spicy sauce on it (recommend with the sauce). My only real problem was that the chicken seemed overcooked/chewy and fell out of the breading halfway through eating - not a showstopper as this happens at lots of places and may have been inconsistent with how it might normally come (I was with someone who had the same thing and they didn't have this issue). It's still a tasty sandwich. Alternatively the chicken strips with the fire/hot sauce are also very good.
The next time I went I got the "King of the Dill" burger, which has fried pickles on it. This was a really good burger and I'll certainly be getting it again.
I do plan on going back and getting other things whenever I'm working in the area. I would recommend trying it out, and going to one of their event nights if you can. That probably improves the atmosphere as usually when I am there they aren't at their busy time.
This would be obvious from street view but parking is mostly street parking with meters. Usually in and out within 30 minutes if eating alone.
Love they are having drag shows now!! And they care about employees, it shows! Love it there!

So we ordered 4 items. Jalepno burger very good and juicy, bacon cheese fries amazing and worth every penny, the chicken straps were hand breaded but not as hot as I want for hot, the avocado turkey sandwich it was very good but since cream cheese turkey and avocado are plain could use something g maybe garlic olives or pickled onions for the acid. The side salad was huge the p Fried pickles were very good but could have used 30 secs more In fryer. Over all a v e ry solid 4.5.

I’m disappointed they changed their original menu.
Eclectic small restaurant with interesting menu options. Chicken tenders and Belgian waffle were awesome.

Went to EJ’s to celebrate Mother’s Day and it was the worst experience ever. We got there at 2 and the service took forever, we overheard all of the tables around us complaining about their food and drinks. It took almost an hour for our food to come and for what reason I don’t know cause it was cold by the time it got to us. Once we got our food our server just dropped the silverware on the table. The silverware wasn’t wrapped in a napkin or anything and they looked dirty so we asked for plastic ware. When our server was sitting down the food he placed my aunts food in front of her and said “here’s the grit…whatever” and we didn’t even know that there was a Mother’s Day Special because our server didn’t tell us about it and he had terrible customer service skills. Would I go back? Absolutely not.

Quick service even on Mothers Day! From the friendly bar staff to the perfect menu. This place was so good. Plus, the pickle fried chicken on cheesy grits was incredible. They didn't even mind me asking for a no cheese version. Subbed potatoes for the cheesy grits. They did look amazing.
The food was very good, sweet tea might have been the best I ever had. Service was top notch, the new owner is very personable and nice. Will be back.

My husband and I visited on a rainy Sat morning. The only other guests were leaving as we came in. We chose our seats and ordered drinks. We decided on the chicken and waffles with grits, and honey blackberry chicken biscuit with bacon. Both meals were bland and just not good. We ate what we could, because we didn't want to waste our money. Even though we had to get food soon after. The grits were cold and one solid lump. The blackberry sauce wasn't good and the potatoes were cold and hard. We overheard the ladies in the kitchen aurging with each other.
