One of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited and it’s only 5 mins walk from my house, can’t believe I waited so long to visit. I stopped by with my family for a quick lunch and had no expectations, but everything blew my mind. Awesome salad, whiskey ribs, giant fish and fries, even the kid’s Mac n cheese was extraordinary! It will be my go-to place!

Cute little place.
Drink menu is impressive only if you knew what 1/2 the ingredients are in some of the drinks. Ordered a standard margarita it was delicious, not too sweet.
Ordered chicken wings, marinated olives & lamb lollipops.
Chicken wings standard. Crispy. Dipping sauce was a nice add.
Marinated olives would be better if they were pitted.
The lamb lollipops were the show stopper! Delicious! Cooked perfectly. Great taste! They should just up the price to $27.00 and offer 4. Instead of unchanging additional $7.00 for one more for 2 people.
Would go back for more lamb lollipops!!!

I come here often enough that I’m almost a regular. It’s always a great time here. Superb food, incredible staff, and a lovely “chill night out” atmosphere. I definitely recommend checking out “The James.”

I can’t say enough amazing things about the James. We’ve been going for 7 years now and I’m always in awe of how delicious, interesting, and fun the space continues to be. All my friends and family that come from out of town - we take them to the James. Love this place so much!

We hop a lot of resteraunts but this one made us pig out.

We got the soda bread, lamb lollipops, mushroom gyro, and halloumi (two times).

Bar staff was awesome.
We stayed awhile to watch food come out of the kitchen. Kept trying to decide if we should order more.

Soooooo, we got desert. Some sort of donut from Heaven.

FOR SURE WILL BE A NEXT TIME.

Mid meal reviews this place is legit. Wings were delicious, ribs outstanding, Fraser salad was perfect. This comes from a person who doesn’t leave reviews. Felt impelled to do so because of how great the experience was.

Nice casual place for a bite and good music. The food is a notch or two above expectations. The staff is super friendly and provide great service.

Fish and chips very meh. Sticky thick batter. When raised opinion with staff met with indifference. “Sorry” and given bill. Could have made it right.

Had leah as a waitress. she treated us very badly as if she didn’t want our business. We couldn’t even order our food because she was too busy being rude and not letting us talk everytime we went to speak to her. We had to leave after just ordering our appetizer. We was treated so badly we went to an other restaurant to order our entrees. After she wouldn’t let me even finish a sentence I had to stop her and tell her to let me talk! I explained to her as a waitress she needs to at least listen to her customers order. She even bought my drink order wrong then blamed me for it being wrong.I don’t know if race played a part on her treatment. However we paid our bill and left immediately. We left no tip because that was not okay!
