J's Corner Restaurant & Bar

Location is good, interior layout and design is nice. The staff are always welcoming - service is mixed based on who you get. Food is definitely not good. Menu reads great - we have tried 4 times and tried to order different things. Chicken salad is made with a heavy mustard ratio, fried green tomatoes are cut too thick and not cooked right- the batter is bad. Homemade chips - some are cooked and some are not cooked.
Fries are greasy. If you like beer cheese - this one is for you, they put it in everything. Quesadillas and Nachos with beer cheese 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sweet potato fries are dipped in cinnamon sugar… so that was interesting but not good. I could keep going through the menu but it’s a no from us. We tried multiple times and now we won’t be back. **drinks are good.

J’s Corner is definitely a mixed bag. In terms of the ambiance, setup, and location, it’s one of the best restaurants in Columbia. I love how wide open the floor plan is, and how they have so many TVs in your sight line. It’s also a great place to see live music on a nice day, and seems like a great place to take your kids and let them run around.

Having said that, the food and drink at J’s leave a good bit to be desired. The mozzarella sticks I got were below average, and reminded me of the ones from a grocery store deli, not a sit-in restaurant. The chicken tenders were solid but unspectacular, and the fries were simply not very good.

I also got a vodka pineapple to drink, which distaste’s more like water than vodka or pineapple.

In all, J’s gets a 5/5 for ambiance, and a (generous) 2/5 for food and drink.

I work nearby, so J's is a great spot for a quick workday lunch. It is also a great spot on the weekends, and especially during football season! There is a good variety of food, and you just have to figure out what you like there. I like their unique chicken tenders and their wraps are solid.

Good food, fun atmosphere. They had a band playing outside. Good for dates or family

Love this place

Great local restaurant. Nice atmosphere and good food for the whole family. I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in town.

Food was great, server was nice and checked in regularly, and loved the live music they had going that night too!!

Found this place while looking for something local while visiting. The service was great and the food was excellent but best of all the prices were on point. They offered a wide variety of menu options with lots of local varieties and traditional offerings as well. If you haven't been here yet, it's worth trying out.

Most foods very good. Nachos not so much. Beer cheese just doesn't work for nachos.

Stopped by to meet friends for drinks and ordered food l.
