JR's Grill & Cafe

The 2nd Saturday of the month we have standing appointment. Since my wife and I are out running around we always have breakfast out for our "date morning." We love going out for breakfast, sitting at the table and enjoying each other's company and catching up with meaningful conversation. We dine at different restaurants each month. We were close to JR's, it sounded good and has an awesome breakfast menu.As we were being seated, my wife saw them put out a pan of fresh baked cinnamon rolls from the oven. My wife has never met a cinnamon roll she didn't like. She immediately knew what she was going to order. I decided on the Combo #3. It consisted of two eggs, two patties of sausage, hashbrowns and a pancake. You can choose your breakfast meat of choice and have toast or a biscuit instead of a pancake.When our server greeted us we were totally surprised. We were reunited with Craig, a longtime server we knew from another local restaurant. He worked at the other restaurant for close to four decades. Craig is the consummate restaurant professional. He is one of the best servers that's ever waited on us. We got reacquainted and placed our orders.Breakfast arrived after a short wait our breakfast was delivered to our table by one of the kitchen expeditors. My eggs were cooked to perfection and everything on my platter was SO good. My wife didn't say much since she was "inhaling" her cinnamon roll. Oh, my goodness, JR, thank you for a wonderful Saturday morning breakfast.

Mexican Omelet: delicious.Mexican Skillet: a jar of pickled jalapeños with some eggs and taters. Not enjoyable.Raisin bread: Pepperidge Farm bagged, so not bad at all.Waffle: very nice.Iced Tea: weak. Very weak. Service: very attentive.

We had been saying that we should check out JR's for ages but for some reason we never did. A few months ago though, we gave them a try. WHY DID WE WAIT SO LONG.The food is fantastic. Everything we have had there I would recommend to anyone. The favorites that I have had are the Chicken Fried Steak (a real steak not chopped patty), Fried or Grilled Pork chops, and Chopped Steak with a brown mushroom gravy. All entrees are served with 2 sides.The service has been great each and every time we have been here. Did I mention the rolls? OH MY GOODNESS. Fresh hot rolls that are fantastic.Check them out you will not be disappointed.

If you are looking for a homestyle cafe you need to go to JR's. They have breakfast all day, lunch and dinner. I never had the breakfast but I have been here many times for dinner. I get the wonderful chicken fried steak with 2 sides and rolls. Rolls come with the meal. The chicken fried steak is real steak no press patty. All the sides are good. I like the green beans, hashbrowns, mash potatoes with gravy. I have had the grilled porkchops also very good. I have tasted other items from my husband plate the smothered chop steak, fried porkchops all good. They have many other items to pick from on the menu.The restaurant has certain hours and days open so check the web page. Nice clean restaurant plenty of seating. Good size crowd most of the time but we have never waited to get seated. Some of the best customer service around. Food is fresh made to order hot and plenty.

Atmosphere was adequate for non-chain restaurant. Booth seats were comfortable; no tears or worn out padding. Service initially was prompt and polite but once food was delivered waitress never came around again . However, I did see other tables being tended to by the other waiter. Food was quite good. Mashed potatoes were REAL potatoes (not only could you taste the difference, from where I sat I could see into the kitchen a bit and observed worker pealing potatoes). Gravy was tasty and a great consistency, not too runny and not too thick. Okra was crisp. Chicken fried steak was just the right thickness, with a nice crispy crust. My mom said her pork chop was moist and tender despite being thin. She also said the coleslaw was very good. We'll be back.

Everyone enjoyed their meals today! I only took a picture of my burger but we all had clean plates afterwards. I ordered the original burger (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle) without mustard. Burger is a nice size and had good flavor, the veg was fresh, & bun was sturdy! The fries were good. I got a side of ranch and had good flavor & consistency (I'm picky about my ranch). Other meals devoured were a BLT + avocado with sweet potato fries, chicken & waffles, chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, green beans served with two massive rolls, kids JRs french toast (eggs, bacon & french toast) & a breakfast sampler platter. JRs is a great place to have a delicious casual meal. Many menu options to choose from with a selection of pie slices to entice you on the way out.

Neighborhood gathering! The cafe is located in an older shopping center, primarily known by the locals who live within blocks of the main strip of Pantego. Parking is limited, but several surrounding spaces are available if you don't mind the walk. The customer base appears to 50+ age, but a small kids menu is available. My friend suggested we eat there after church, and I was pleasantly surprised to see several 'cafeteria' plate options that reminded me of past eateries. Frist vist I ordered the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with cream gravy, green beans and two rolls as the side. Second visit, I ordered liver/onions, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and rolls. The food was enjoyable, not hot but luke warm, reasonably priced and neighborly environment. The seating area is small and limited for large parties. In between breakfast and lunch can be the most crowded and hard to get service from the waitress/waiter. There were delays in ordering and paying for my food. I had to request my ticket at the register because my server never returned to the table, but despite that, I would like to give it a third try before making a final conclusion.

My first time visiting I ordered a cheeseburger with fries to go. Pros: The service was great and the employees were very friendly and helpful. My order was taken friendly and cooked fresh. The burger was large in size and the French fries were decent. Cons: The only flavor the burger had was the cheese. The patty was also very dry.Unfortunately, I'm not fan.

Found this place on Facebook, and so glad we went. I got some Mexican breakfast and it was so yummy. We also got some chicken and waffles to share. SO GOOD. the chicken was just *mwuah* chefs kiss. They're always pretty busy so the service is just fine! We usually get seated in the back, it reminds me of my elementary school with the tile. Not in a bad way. It's cute, they have a lot of art on the walls. We've only been for breakfast but I'm sure their other menus are great too!

JR's was great they have the best BLT w/ cheese than any place. I recommend them over nearby JJ's any day and they don't have extra charges like JJ's charges a FOOD TAX of about 8% in addition to regular tax.
