Been driving by this place for a year now. Finally had a chance to stop. The herb chicken and pork chops were fantastic. Roasted potatoes and maple carrots were great sides. A little on the salty side but bearable.

The service was great! The food was amazing and done exactly as I ordered it. I would recommend J.Fires to anybody looking for a great meal in a chill environment.

Did not have many items on the menu. Appetizer and entree were salty and lacked flavor. I've given this restaurant a chance several times and they continue to disappoint.

Best outdoor patio and food! The owners rock!

My husband and I love the patio in the spring and summer time, we enjoying the live music they have sometimes.. The scallions are perfectly cooked and the crab pasta is amazing.

Crab legs were to die for. Defiantly will come back.

We were finally seated after an awkward wait at the bar entrance once our waitress arrived she took our wine selection of cabernet sauvignon and returned with a chardonnay after she apologized she took our orders, she obviously didn't know the menu for she asked about the side dishes that I would like but mine came with none. My wife's shrimp were good but the crab pasta was dry and the crab tasted like it came from a can, poor service and tacky environment (electric fireplace)..$77 dollars before tip...We won't be back.

We ordered the sweet potatoes with the pecan topping for Thanksgiving and we were very pleased on how great they were. If you're looking for sides for an occasion those are definitely worth ordering. Thank you again!!!

I typically don't complain but this place Straight up horrible. Went there on a whim, no wait sat down immediately .......was never greeted by a waitress , 4 tables came in after us all greeted immediately. I went to the hostess and told her after 30-35 minutes, 15 minutes later we get a waitress, no apology , nothing, we order drinks, appetizer and food all at once because by this point we had figured it all out, then we wait for drinks........no service or acknowledgment again for about 40 minutes. Then our food comes new out, I make a comment about the appetizer and get a oh I'm sorry the cook missed it and I can make it to go for you, not interested. Then we Start eating , food was “lukewarm” at best and not good fries had possibly been dipped in the grease for 10 seconds, raw and disgusting. Paid for our meal and left out of there quickly. Horrible experience and I will not be going back ever. I would just as soon took 60 dollars and lit it on fire while eating McDonalds

J.Fires' used to be one of our favorite places in the area, but after last night it'll be a while before we go back. Service was bad, menu needed to be "updated", they were out of too many things, our food took forever (1.5 hr) and was only decent once it came out. Inexcusable for anywhere, but especially when a place is that empty and charging so much. This place is about to get mismanaged out of business; especially with all the added competition. Too bad because it's a nice venue.

Used to be a nice place for a beautiful meal. We went tonight and we waited 2 hours for our appetizers. Every 15 minutes we were assured our order was up shortly. We missed the movie. One hour later, we paid and left without our food. After a total of 2 hours, we went across the street to a fast food place to get something to eat.
