Rave reviews on TripAdvisor made us choose WJ’s as a dinner spot. The glowing reviews must have been written by family/friends of the owner and employees because WJ’s was absolutely not what we were expecting. Three of our group had burgers/sandwiches - a Honey Garlic Chicken, a Tank Burger, and a Spot’s BLT. All buns were badly charred and tough. The piece of Honey Garlic Chicken was good. The burger patty was as charred as the bun. The bacon on the BLT was overdone and difficult to eat so it wasn’t. I ordered the Mac/Cheese with grilled chicken. The chicken sprinkled on top was fine, but the penne was swimming in cheese sauce. Not what I’m accustomed to when ordering Mac and Cheese elsewhere. Big disappointment. When ordering meals, our server stated the sandwiches came with soup or salad and an additional side. French fries were added to the order, although the menu clearly stated fries came with a $1 up charge. When that was pointed out to the server, she still insisted the fries were included at no extra charge. After dinner when our bill came, there were two charges of $2.99 for fries. The server had no clue why the fries had been added at $2.99 each, rather than $1 as written on the menu. She also had no idea why we were charged for the fries at all after SHE TOLD US they were included with the meal order. She didn’t bother checking with any other employee/supervisor for clarification of the mysterious fry charges. The pair of $2.99 charges should have been removed from our bill but that seemed an incomprehensible option for our server and the charges remained. We were beyond annoyed with the entire WJ’s experience at that point, so the bill was just paid as it was so we could get out of there. NOT RECOMMENDED.

This place was amazing, we had a short wait but the staff was so nice about everything and brought drinks while we waited. I got the pasta Alfredo and my boyfriend got the wade davis (steak and potato) each entree comes with soup or salad which is always a kicker. Usually I pass on Alfredo when I'm out because it's not very exciting but this Alfredo was incredible! It was peppery and garlicy, tons of flavor! Loved it!

The food was amazing, service was friendly, and environment was a comfortable home away from home. We enjoyed the Ahi Tuna and Nachos and both were fantastic!

Super fantastic food, I was pleasantly surprised. I got the steak and it was so good and the Gooey Butter Cake might have been the best thing I’ve ever tasted no lie. The staff is super friendly and attentive. HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent! We had two different pasta dishes and they were excellent. The waitresses were attentive and helpful! It is a very quaint place located in a home.

Very good atmosphere. The food is fresh as it can be. All of our dishes were well prepared and delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant. 10/10 Van Meter
Very good food in an unassuming location. Flat Iron steak salad and yellowfin tuna were both delicious. The owner took time to chat with us and gave us some good travel tips.

It's a really fun place with a ton of fascinating stuff on the walls. You can see just a lot of the local history. Nice selection of beers and booze.

We came in for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. The salmon was just not to my liking, the balsamic glaze didn't work for me. I did enjoy the salad though. My bf was not happy at all with the cut and taste of his steak. He couldn't believe how thin it was.The positives were that the service was really good and cocktails were great. The ambiance of the restaurant, we thought, could be better. We didn't expect such bright lighting and children's artwork taped to the walls. Softer lighting would be much nicer! Everyone was very friendly though. Just wasn't what we were expecting based on the menu and reviews.
