“We hosted a birthday party at Mustang Sally's. The space was perfect for our occasion. The process of booking and planning with Sally was super quick and easy. Our guests enjoyed the space as well- enough comfy seating for everyone to be able to relax and catch up! Darts for people to play. Enough space for some kiddos to move around. Great wine and beers too! Loved all the decor and music as well. Thanks Sally and Staff (If I remember correctly bartenders name was Sandy). :)“

“Best Pizza anywhere. Great garlicky sauce, tasty crust and fabulous amount of cheese and extras for the lowest cost around. Still can’t believe you can get large 4 topping pizza for $20-21. The taste is out of this world fantastic.“

“the fish dinner was hot and good. Band only played to before 9pm but was decent. Nice people from Luck!“

“My review is based on how 5 J's is a community-minded business. I am the student council advisor at a nearby high school, and this place helps us raise funds to improve our school by donating the cans that come from the patrons who go to their establishment to our aluminum recycling project. They don't have to do this, but in talking with the owner, she very much wants to support the school and students rather than making a few bucks. If you ask me, that is pretty amazing, especially in this economy. We can't thank them enough for their generosity! So if you are looking for a friendly place to relax that supports students they are near, this is the place!“
