About J&D's Bar and Grill

J&D's Bar and Grill offers a varied menu with options like the Chicken Greek style, $3 margaritas, and all-you-can-eat shrimp and fish. The interior has a mix of banquet-hall, canteen, and open floorplan bar styles, with TVs everywhere and a lively atmosphere. The specials menu is written on a chalkboard weekly, providing some of the most affordable and tasty dishes. The restaurant is well maintained and clean, with considerate and well-mannered staff. It’s a great place to enjoy a hot cooked meal for families, late shift workers, and anyone looking for a casual dining experience.

Many customers praise the quick, knowledgeable service and the friendly environment. For example, the Ty Cobb Salad with grilled chicken was described as very, very good and large enough to take home half. The Build Your Own Burger was also highly recommended. The $12 all-you-can-eat shrimp and tilapia or half of a chicken are standout dishes, offering good value. While the quality of some main entrees like ribs and chicken can be inconsistent, the restaurant’s atmosphere and friendly service help make up for it.

Recommendations include checking the chalkboard menu for some of the most affordable and tastiest options, and limiting yourself to two plates of all-you-can-eat, as they tend to serve more than two. The restaurant is well suited for group gatherings, especially on Monday nights. Parking is available for roughly 80-100 cars, with space depending on buses parked there. The single-floor setup makes it wheelchair accessible. Overall, J&D's provides a neighborhood feel and a welcoming environment for a casual, satisfying meal.
