Firstly, let me start by raving about Colleen, the GOAT of bartenders! She is an absolute sweetheart! From the first day she made me feel at home! If you are new, she goes up to you, introduces herself and hands you a napkin. She has the most awesome and proper etiquette for the hospitality industry. Colleen is an absolute godsend!

JL's Pizza and Sports Bar is known for its great bar food and fantastic daily specials. The lasagna special on Thursday nights remains popular and generous in portion, often enjoyed by customers either alone or shared with others. On Fridays, the rib tip special is a must-try, accompanied by sizable and flavorful chicken skewers, which may not look impressive at first but win over diners with their juicy and well-seasoned taste. The bar features a lively atmosphere with various neon signs and multiple TVs playing sports. Despite its no-frills appearance, JL's Pizza and Sports Bar delivers top-notch food that keeps customers returning.
The restaurant offers excellent daily deals and is a local favorite. The pizza has received praise for being very good, and there are several vegetarian options on the menu, including tasty salads and veggie pizzas. Guests have highlighted the chicken bacon ranch wrap as one of the best they have ever eaten, along with the amazing Cheddar Cheese burger. While the bar can be a bit noisy, the service is exceptional, with bartenders like Colleen and Lisa remembered by name and drink order, providing a welcoming experience. Parking can be challenging as the restaurant has no dedicated lot, but there are nearby options for those willing to walk a bit.
