Jams@209 Sports Bar & Grill

Came to their spot during lunch time.Foods are good taste. Service was nice and good. Love their set up, since they are reconstructed from movie theaters so the place is cozy. Perfectly best place to hang out with friends. Even friends from bay area said their food is really good, really crispy and crunchy. Only thing that if the soup come out warm will be better (maybe they just open, need a little time to make all the process in the track).Will be back for sure

Update February 19, 2025Sadly the poorly designed Los Banos Jams variant (for which this Yelp thread was originally set-up) has turned out to be a low cost lobby beer bar & overpriced snack bar, with both attracting the lowest common denominator customer that promotes excessive drinking and a drunken non-family or fun atmosphere.Most of the our surrounding growing community prefers soccer to football, but incredibly they will not accept requests for viewing the "World's most Beautiful Game".Otherwise the friendly local servers are great and are trying to work very hard to save to save their jobs and override this business model dichotomy. The local servers are also doing a great job more recently in promoting the Crest Community Center, but the food and beverage is ironically outsourced by the bookers to the better third party food and beverage suppliers, leaving a frustrating work environment.If the the F&B side of this business doesn't improve, then it is basically an overpriced and duplicitous community center, which we do not need and hence will probably not make by the end of this year without further subsidy from the more successful Atwater and Turlock locations.However I do wish them the very best of luck and hopefully they will improve significantly soon to help make downtown Los Banos better everyday.

I stopped by Jams the other day. While the food options weren't all that impressive, the service made up for it. Andrea was fantastic ~always smiling and incredibly attentive. She truly made the experience better! I also wondered if Jams gives back to the community, particularly to local kids' sports teams or schools. I've seen Blue Agave (across the street) listed as a donor in various programs, but never Jams. It would be great to see them supporting local programs!

I've gotta start off by saying I love the other two locations so I'm already quite familiar with their food. We came on opening day, the location is fantastic, in what used to be an old movie theater and also a skating rink at some point? Anyway, location is perfect, they have a TON of seating and the outdoor seating is really nicely blocked off and under an overhang so even in colder weather it will be perfect. You're greeted by the bar when you first walk in and tables are kind of hidden, which makes it kind of cool. The bathrooms are huge compared to the other two locations, so no waiting in line, yay! The food is pretty much on point with the Atwater and Turlock locations but I do take off one star for not being super great with the Parmesan garlic on the wings, they were pretty much dumped on one wing and not coated among them all. I'm sure first day is hectic and this will not be an issue in the future.

A lot of TVs with sports on. Went there and just had some onion rings and potato wedges. The potato wedges were delicious. The onion rings were average. The service was great. Would go there again. The menu had a lot of items.

I have been coming to Jams 209 since the first week they opened. Let me tell you that you won't be disappointed with anything you order from here! Yesterday my kids & I went for a quick bite for dinner. I've had everything on the appetizers menu so far and everything is delicious! Those pretzel bite are soooo good! Not pictured was the voodoo burger and the PBJ protein Power burger they were delicious! Service is amazing the ladies are always so attentive. Great atmosphere.

Food and service were excellent, especially our server Sam. She was attentive and overall just such a delight. Everything came out so quickly, too! Definitely stopping by again sometime soon!

My family and I finally went to try this place out. I'm a very picky person but the potato skins were delicious. Then we got calamari yummm. The waitress slash bar tender made me a fruity drink was yummm her name was Samantha service was great. She had so many great recommendations makes you definitely want to come back. Very clean very comforting good vibes. Even found out they have a space to rent to throw bigger gatherings. So much great info definitely will be back.

The service was amazing Kendra greeted us immediately and sat us. Our waitress was nice and efficient. My partner got the tacos, they were hot and fresh however the chicken could use more seasoning. Also the tortilla fell apart because it was a single layer with so much filling. When she asked for hot sauce the waitress brought us Buffalo Sauce and said it's a .50 cent charge. We thought we'd get tapatio or chelula. We got the field of fries garlic style. They were hearty and delicious. I got the Chicken Parm sandwich with onion rings. It was delicious and fresh. We also ordered garlic Parmesan chicken pizza to share and it was good with a crispy thin crust. Can't beat the Happy Hour Prices on a weekend. The whiskey sour had a good taste. I got the Bay Breeze. It was a bit strong but refreshing.

I had a fantastic experience at Jams on Wednesday! Andrea was our server, and she was attentive, patient, and made sure we had everything we needed. The bartender, Sam (I think), nailed it with the perfect sweet tea..absolutely the best. Azalea was so smiley and friendly, which really added to the welcoming vibe that night. The food was great, but honestly, I'll be coming back just for that sweet tea!A little suggestion for the owners: you've got that huge room in the back--why not bring in some karaoke and line dancing? It would take the vibe to the next level. It's been a while since I've had such an amazing experience, the last time being when Mallory was my waitress and before that Kendra and Andrea were working. Big thanks to the Wednesday night team for making the night so enjoyable!
