Jonathan's The Rub

As a regular at Johnathan 's Memorial Green, I was excited to stumble upon their East End location and decided to give their Saturday Brunch a try. The vibe was immediately welcoming.. cool.. full of good energy. Out on the patio, Ross was spinning vinyls, setting the perfect backdrop for easy conversation with my besties and a laid back afternoon. BONUS- Happy Hour runs during Brunch, making the experience more enjoyable. I connected with some wonderful people and will absolutely go back to this hidden gem in the East End.

The food and energy was everything you would want. Their DJ, Ross Thompson, was welcoming and made our lunch experience excellent. If you want good food, music, and a great time then this is where you should be.

My family of 9 and I came in on a Sunday at 2:30. We heard good things about the brunch and specials they have. The wait for a table and food was extremely long. Every time we asked the hosts how much longer they would say 15 mins. We noticed larger parties that came in were seated before us. After an hour of waiting and having to address the hosts about the wait they begin to show frustration with us with no apologies. No updates or anything! We didnt feel welcomed at all. We even asked if we could sit on the outside patio and they said no because they didn't have any servers for that part of the restaurant only for us to see a two couples being served and actually two servers were at the table chilling with one of the couples!

We were finally sat at a table only to wait another hour for the food! We spoke to the manager she stated they were short staffed. Why not tell us this at the beginning?

I tried to order the fried chicken special and of course they ran out! My sister tried to order from the brunch menu and they kept saying it was over. My sister explained that it doesn't end until 4pm because she has visited numerous times. The waitress gave us attitude about it. Its not our fault that it took us over an hour to get seated.

The food was delicious but I will never visit this location again!

Oh and the waiter didn't add gratuity to the other parties. She definitely added 20% just for my daughter and I. I believe she did it on purpose because I had to ask for things that weren't brought in by her initially.

I will not be returning to the location!

My dining companions and I ate here for the first time this past week and were pleasantly surprised. This is a nice addition to the East End and something different with the preponderance of Mexican restaurants. The ambiance is great as well as the food. However, there are some things you should know before you eat here. 1) No complimentary bread is served with your meal. 2) Your meals do not come with any sides. Those are a la carte. 3) You will be charged for refills. I don't know if that includes water! I had the chicken piccata with angel hair pasta. The chicken was tender and tasty. There's usually a hint of lemon in this dish, but I didn't taste any. My husband had the shrimp and grits and said it was better than Brennan's! That's quite the compliment. Our friend had the fish and chips and said it was one of the best he's ever had. Having a complimentary bread basket would have been nice especially with sopping up the left over sauces in two of our dishes. Some of these dishes would benefit from having at least one side to choose from included with the meal. Our service was not the best. We had to wait a while to give our order as well as waiting for our check.

I called at the very last minute—barely an hour in advance—for drinks and dinner for a group of 20 to 25 people. Jessica was incredibly accommodating, and the service was truly five‑star. Trevor and Gatlin delivered the food with flawless precision, not a single order or detail missed. The drinks and dishes were delicious, and the attention to detail was exceptional.
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us. We’ll absolutely be back!

I ordered lunch through Uber Eats for pickup. I told the hostess at the main entrance that I’m here to pick up my own order. She asked me go to go outside to the back of the building near gas tanks and dumpsters to ring a doorbell at a nondescript door, which was seemingly the after hours entrance for workers directly to the kitchen, in order to pick it up. Im not sure why they decided to disregard customer experience for pickup orders, but it is an objectively bad idea. It was unfortunate, given that they clearly put disproportionately more effort into the dining room and main entrance. To the owners, consider that customers would rather not have a heavy kitchen door slammed in front of them during the pickup of their orders.

The food i ordered was also burnt.

Great overall experience. Service was friendly however drinks took some time to come out. Bar service could improve. Food was amazing and overall price was a good deal.

Did not disappoint on any level. We were greeted warmly, served impeccably, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. It was a wonderful experience. Happy birthday to me!

We will definitely be back, my wife and I really enjoyed the meal and drinks we had today. The manager who came and check on us was a delight I believe her name was Jennifer.

Service was fantastic. Atmosphere was really comfortable. A bit of a wait to be seated because they were on the phone, but I get it… they are busy. And rightly so! The food was fantastic. We got the Mr. Kringle and the Prancer for our drinks. Really tasty.

Appetizer: Fried Green Tomatoes. 👍

My wife ordered the chicken fried chicken - perfection. The gravy and potatoes made the whole thing melt in your mouth. 👍👍

I ordered the jalapeño redfish. Goodness. Cooked perfectly. 👍👍

For dessert we shared a slice of coconut cream pie - yum 😋

We will be back to try something new. For sure. And soon. Loving that there’s a place close by that is not too terribly pricey, with huge portions, and so much deliciousness. Perfect date night or group celebration place. The vibe is casual. I wore nice jeans a Tshirt and zip up hoody. Relaxed but very nice vibe there.
