What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. My wife and I have been here 3 times since they opened and each time we've left raving about how good it was! Starting with the top tier, attentive service - the wait staff is kind and helpful, and maybe the best part? If you're there to watch a game, they'll change the channel for you! Seems like a given but these days that even feels hard to find. Now to the food - it's clear that there is great care in what they make. At brunch the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. At dinner the wings, green chili burger, Cuban sandwich, and even fries were all spectacular. Not to mention their homemade sauces (my favorite is the wasabi ranch). The cocktails are well made and fairly priced, the draft beer is ice cold. I can't say enough good things about "JP's". It's nice to have a new spot open up that cares about good food, good service, and fair prices. Already looking forward to my next meal there!

As someone who lives in the neighborhood and is tired of seeing empty storefronts, I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this place. My first visit was pure excellence. The food was delicious, quick, and very fairly priced compared to other trendy bustling restaurants that fall short in all categories. I look forward to being a regular here and trying the dinner menu when their hours expand. The prompt coffee refills and service was a delight. Thank you JP for coming to the neighborhood!

First I just have to say that I find it extremely childish that the owner responds to bad reviews about this restaurant with “we will report false and malicious reviews”. Maybe take the honest feedback and learn how to improve your restaurant instead of being a baby about it? All of us locals want restaurants in this area to be successful and we do our best to support with our business and honest feedback. Any person can see your responses and see through that immediately. To ensure he/she is unable to do that, I’m posting pics of my meal so you know this is a legitimate review. Good luck trying to pretend this false and malicious :) I’m a local in JP and was ecstatic to hear that a new restaurant opened, especially a brunch spot. Went here for brunch. First and foremost, the water glass I got was covered in dry and crusted egg residue. Photo attached. Major oversight and means I got a glass that never made it through the dishwasher. I ordered a Bloody Mary and a JP special. The Bloody Mary was fine. However, it had no toppings. No olive, no pickle, no cheese cube. Nothing. Honestly never seen that before. For $14, that’s unacceptable. The JP special was $17 and was basically the same quality as Denny’s. The pancakes were the best part but the meal just looked cheap. Pretty much the same sausages as Denny’s, slightly better bacon and the hash browns were 100% of the frozen reheated variety. Eggs were of very cheap variety because the yolks were light yellow and tasteless. Not bad, not good, but for $17, completely unacceptable. Seriously, make your own hash browns, please. The service was better than a lot of people have reported. I sat at the bar though so there was bartender there. He was nice, checked on me multiple times, and made sure I had what I needed. Honestly, no complaints and he did a good job. I don’t write this review to deter people. Again, I don’t want to see another place in Jeff Park close down but I do hope that the owner will step up and actually take accountability for the reviews and the pain points so they can turn this place into an absolute gem. A lot of potential, great space, and I look forward to coming here again in a couple months to see if they’ve take any of the feedback on the many negative reviews to heart.

The Berry & Nutella french toast were so good (photo not included) . The Bronco & Asada Fries were very filling 🤤 ... Definitely recommended if you have a family group . They have a couple small games & the restaurant itself is to nice. Their layout & customer service drew us in.
