Double J Restaurant

Well, I was a little hesitant to try this place because their Yelp rating is only 3.5 stars. But, I'm glad that I did try it, yesterday. The service was friendly and prompt. Most plates were like less than $10 and usually came with two sides and bread. I had their hamburger steak meal. The meat was cooked perfectly. I asked for (medium rare). The mashed potatoes were really-really good (not Instant)! All for ten dollars. BTW, you may read in the reviews that they only take cash. That was true until about six months ago. Now they do take credit cards with and 3% service charge. I'm only visiting in Wauchula for a little while, but God Willing I'll be back before leaving town.

Teeny tiny Wauchula is a beautiful city with about 5000 folks. It is rural, agricultural Central Florida at its best! It has several privately owned restaurants that are solid, and this is one of them. I love a good breakfast so off I went!Arriving- These fine folks are on the outskirts of the city on Route 17 South. They are super easy to find. Depending on which way you come in, you'll be driving by citrus groves, cucumber fields and cattle ranches. If you're really lucky, you might see a bear!They are in a dilapidated plaza with no presence at all, but parking is plentiful and easy.Pro Tip- Route 17 might freak you out a little. It's a divided highway but it's divided by 1000 feet of homes and businesses! Often you can't see the other lanes!Atmosphere- There is none. It's an old building with old fixtures and furniture. There are many booths with hard, uncomfortable wooden seats with no padding. Can you say, "Butt ache!"Pro Tip- CASH ONLY so come prepared!Customer Service- Excellent! My server had worked there for 8 years and was a pro and it showed!Food- Stand southern, American menu with no surprises. I ordered a Ham & Cheese Omelet with potatoes plus coffee. It cost me $12.80 pre-tip.The coffee was hot and good. The potatoes were piping hot and not greasy. The omelet had plenty of fillings, but they were all packed in the middle with empty ends and that annoys me a little. However, it was very good, and the overall breakfast was solid.This is a hard one to rate for me. It probably should be 3.5. There are plenty of places nearby with a better atmosphere and equally solid food. I'm going with four stars because of the stellar service. Just remember to bring a pillow for your butt!

Double J is a quaint, local restaurant with a delicious brunch! Nestled in an older building, the restaurant doesn't have much signage in general but none off the side street so you have count on your GPS!Great biscuits (soo soft and fluffy! Get the gravy too!) and the omelettes were good (can come in egg white as well).

In town for Hurricane Ian recovery efforts and stopped in at Double J restaurant just before 10 am on Monday. We were immediately greeted by our server and the owner herself, Judie, came over to set up this trip for success. In a small town like Wauchula, everyone knows everyone and everyone's a regular so she knew instantly we were from out of town and made sure we felt welcome with hugs and stories and great food. We loved her and the food so much that we went back today and all ordered the exact same meal. I'll be dreaming about these perfect hotcakes and French toast for years to come! Great prices, great company, and great food. What more can you ask for?P.S. this is a cash only business so be prepared!

Nice quiet family place. Just had breakfast. Everything was cooked well and the portions were generous. Large dining area. Friendly servers. Absolutely nothing negative about the Double J. p.s. you can park in the front, but the shade is in the back.

Great down home Southern breakfast!! Quick and Friendly Service. Good coffee, perfectly cooked eggs!

We've driven by many times and decided to give it a try. Breakfast was good, service good and quick. The only reason I'm not rating higher is it appears dirty inside. Windows are dirty, floors are dirty, ceilings gross. So it makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like..

Biscuits n gravy n corn beef hash is my favorite at this place....!!! Been going here with friends for yrs.... don't be deceived by appearances...!!!!

My husband, daughter and I stopped in for breakfast Saturday morning. We were warmly greeted when we walked in. Our server was very nice and our food was delicious. They don't take cards so make sure you bring cash or checks. We'll be back.

The food is horrible especially the breakfast i had. The hash brown was plain and grey in color, IT WAS NASTY. I called to make it right and they were laughing on the phone saying theres nothing they could do about it. Last time ever going there and i hope it gets shut down due to the roach infestation! ZERO STARS IF I COULD!
