Pizza wonderful and they don't skimp on cheese. Love Canadian bacon & sauerkraut. Waitresses are busy but they were on top of drink refills. I will return.

Service is was fast and efficient. Food was served hot and prepared well. The prices were reasonable.The ambiance was family dining. The only very small thing was the bartender served our wine which was not what we ordered with a tiny infant in a carrier strapped to her front. It was very disturbing seeing this woman dangling a tiny infant as she worked. I want to go back and eat the pizza which had a huge amount of cheese. Hopefully soon...

It was a staple in my hometown when I was a teenager and it still is today. Just a wonderful, beautiful place on by wonderful great people who love food. Or more can I say? Come, eat, try or don't at your peril

The food was okay, we have had better. Service is great and was worth the stop. We put this down on our list as middle of the road food and atmosphere was great.

Stopped in after a work call for some lunch as a buddy had dragged me there. Good service and nice ambiance for SW Rural Iowa. I had a grilled chicken salad with Italian- a very filling salad with ALL of the fixings. Buddy ordered a ribeye sandwich - he claims it's one of the best for a ribeye sandwich. Would go back if I'm ever down there again.

We ate here for lunch after noticing everyone was yelping about the Fried chicken . We were not dis appointed! The Crust was melt-In-your-mouth and yet crispy at the same time , while the meat within was well cooked yet juicy ! Noticing that you got 2 extra pieces getting a 1/2 chicken, rather than a 1/4, for only $1 more ,Grandma and I wisely decided to "share"The 1/2 chicken dinner . Soup, side & even tea or coffee was included in the price ! That's "hometown hospitality "! Speaking of hospitality, the booths areComfy, the air conditioner is very cool and refreshing & the waitresses could not have been nicer , keeping our water, tea & coffees topped off throughout . They communicated well that the fried chicken was "cooked-to-order" and therefore would take a bit longer than other menu items . All I can say is that it was worth the wait , and I will be back for more fried chicken next time I visit Clarinda,Iowa !

I have only ever been here a few times. Everytime I come with local family who talk very highly. Everytime I try something new. Everytime I am completely satisfied with my food, the family abieance, but this time I felt like I also had a server who really cared a lot about her job. Anita told us she had only had the position for a short time, but I can tell she is already on her way to being a pro. She was prompt and checked on us several times. I was really pleased and I will always recommend J's. Next time we will have to try the Pizza, we've had everything else.

The most delicious pizza I've ever had, but on Sunday's buffet there is never enough lemon meringue pie and it's almost always gone by the time I get there, they do that to me right in front of God like I'm some sort of chump. The next time I don't get a lemon meringue pie I'm going to lose my mind. Amazing pizza not enough pie.

Worst service EVER!!! We waited an hour for a pizza, the waitress forgot to bring my daughters salad until her supper was ready, never came to ask if we wanted any more beer! My husband had to go upto the kitchen to see where our pizza was. Tables that came in 20 minutes after us got their pizza before we did. When we expressed our displeasure to the waitress she says she's sorry but it's pizza night. After that she doesn't come back to our table until we are finished. Never got asked if we wanted Parmesan cheese or pepper flakes. Finally got our check & when the owners wife asked how it was & we told her, we again got the excuse that it's pizza night! I have been there on other pizza nights & have never had to wait an hour! To top it all off, I was planning on buying my aunt a gift card from there for her birthday but after that decided against it! Needless to say we will not be going their anytime soon! Very disappointed that we just got blown off! Must be nice to run a business that you don't have to worry about the experience & service people get! And they wonder why people don't want to spend their mo way local!
