My main course, the Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast, was a delightful symphony of flavors that danced on my palate.

“First time at Jillys and it's a very nice establishment, clean, friendly staff and fast service. Hooooowever, the only let down is they advertise 14 hour SMOKED BRISKET and pork etc which is what we came for. I ordered the smoked wings and they were good, crispy , smokey. But the "smoked brisket" cheesesteak absolutely bombed . Zero smoke ring, taste, char, no signs of it anywhere. Maybe i caught them on a bad day but for the upcharge for smoked brisket it completely missed the mark. Bland,no seasoning, no smoke.... i would score higher but the main attraction is the smoked food and bbq grill and the brisket just let us down causing me to lose faith in the remaining bbq/smoke menu . I would've asked for a normal slice of smoked brisket but i doubted that was available and rather not spend anymore at that point. I even verified with the waitress a second time to verify that what i ordered was indeed it, and yup, just not worth it. If you go skip the smoked brisket and just get a normal cheesesteak if this is the smoked beef expectations at this establishment. Otherwise i recommend the restaurant, and the cheesesteak, just maybe not the bbq ?“

“So let me start by saying that the decor at this place is everything ! Walking in seeing Betty Boop, Popeyes the Sailor man figurines all throughout was a sight Z the place was small but cozy . The service was great. Brandon behind the bar is beyond awesome . His service is everything . Far as the food : the banging shrimps (10/10), honey old bay wings (10/10), calamari (7/10), onion rings (6/10) chicken cheese nachos (4/10)... it was just okay. I would only come back to explore their breakfast options .“

“Got a menu in the mail so decided to try it out. I was not expecting the food to be anything special because places that sell all different kinds of food usually aren’t. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza was. I am definitely going to try the Indian food later but the pizza was the best local pizza I’ve had in a long time.“
