I come to JJ every chance I get when they say Soul Food that's what it is and I love it

Me and my family stopped by for a earlier lunch. The smells ourside made your mouth water. As we entered the restaurant to dine the young lady behind the counter welcomed us in and was knowledgeable of the delicious entrees and specials. As we read the menu, I had a hard time determining what I wanted. So we chose to get a little bit of everything (the special is Ox tails and gravy over rice) so you know I had to get those. We also chose fried and barbecued chicken, mac n cheese, fried okra, collard greens and yams. My God!! Everything was superb! Hot, fresh, full of flavor and the service and atmosphere was like comforting (like being a your grandmother's or favorite family members house like a family reunion). All I can say Lexington has a jewel and if you haven't tried this place you are missing out big time!! As we were leaving the manager/owner asked how was everything? Delicious!!! I'll be back for the baked spaghetti...

Their food is always amazing, it’s one of the few places around here that actually uses real banana in their pudding and the sweetness is balanced perfectly! I wish I could eat here all the time

This place is awesome! My sister and I had the pork chops (grilled and fried) and I am in love with the grilled ones. The macaroni and cheese was great. The greens and yams were great. Lastly, the koolaid was wonderful! Stop by here if you want some really good food!

One of the worst soul food plates I’ve ever had. The chicken was burnt, the meatloaf overcooked and dry with no flavor, the Mac and cheese was extremely GREASY(the meatloaf needed the grease the Mac had atp), and the yams had to be canned. It looked like 1950 inside. How on earth is the place getting damn near 5 stars??? Are y’all only good at making certain dishes? Is the food only good on certain days? I tried to eat it, I really did. This plate had to go straight to the trash. I’ve been bamboozled ?? I’ll chop the $15 as a donation smh. This is what the food really looks like! First time and will not return. I tried to post on fb seems like any bad review is filtered out ?
The best soul food restaurant there is! ? Always so friendly, food is amazing! You won’t ever regret coming here!!!!

I'm pulling up to a soul food restaurant at 1:30 on Good Friday and there's only one other vehicle in the parking lot. I automatically begin to think red flags. I entered the restaurant and a young lady greeted me. She told me where I can sit and asked for my drink order. I chose to sit in the back of the restaurant to observe to see if any more customers would arrive, only a take out order came in during my visit. Being raised by a southern grandmother, I tend to love neck bones! The fact this restaurant served neckbones is what prompted my visit. I received a complimentary chips and jarred salsa. I was kind of disappointed by this. It's a nice gesture but why offer if it's nothing special. The sweet tea was delicious. There was a family of 4 dining. TV's around the restaurant were playing 80's Family Feud and old school R&B coming through the speakers. My order of neckbones, pinto beans, and collard greens. These were the meatiest neckbones I've had in a while. They were tender! The gravy was very thick. This made the rice an afterthought because I was searching for the rice and just gave up. The greens were salty. You have to be careful with seasonings when cooking with smoked meat. My pintos tasted old. The cornbread muffin was sweet and crumbly yet good. My entire lunch felt like I was visiting grandma's house the Monday after a family Sunday dinner. I felt as though I was eating good leftovers at grandma's house. I ordered oxtails, mac and cheese, and cabbage to go. The oxtails are tender yet the gravy is too thick because of this, the rice underneath was lost. I like my mac and cheese creamy but it all comes to personal preference. I will visit again. Perhaps the second time around will be better. They have buffet style dining on the second Sunday of each month. This will be my next visit so I can try more than the items I did on this visit. I also enjoyed the service, very nice people.

I’ve been multiple times & every time has been consistent. I’m not sure if the star of this place is the food or the staff! Every time the food has been consistently amazing & the staff is so nice! My advice is run, don’t walk to get some of the best southern comfort food around but wear your stretchy pants ?
