The cheeseburger was amazing . My coworkers came with me, and they both liked the food as well. The smell was a little strange at first, or maybe it was the mop water making the restaurant smell funky or a sewage situation going on. I can't complain because the food was great, just a minor discrepancy. They had a bottle of ketchup but not a bottle of mustard, which is a must-have on my cheeseburgers.

This was my first visit and I'm ashamed I've never been here. I had a bacon burger and onion rings. The burger was delicious and BIG. The onion rings were beasty as well. I was worried cause it was lunch time but it wasn't packed thankfully. The menu is quite extensive and have to say I will definitely be back to try many other things!!

My wife wanted a burger and although we don’t live close by, we looked at some places and decided to try JLB. I ordered the BBQ burger and my wife had the bacon avocado burger. The size of the burger was the first thing I noticed when I picked up my order at the counter. The buns are so soft and you can tell they are made in house. The burgers were juicy and the combination of ingredients was delicious. We tried both the regular and sweet potato fries and both were outstanding. JLB seems like a neighborhood treasure, and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Best place to get a burger. If you try this place you won't be able to go back to trash places Burger King or Whataburger. This is the place to get a burger. Don't get anything else as it's not as good. But the burgers are the best. Angus beef and the bread is made the same day.

This place is really good and you can really tell that they care about food quality here. They have gotten my order wrong 2 out of the 10 times I’ve been here but they immediately try to take care of it. My favorite thing so far is the patty melt, they do overcook the egg a little bit, but I’ll just ask for a different next time. If you were in this area and you’re skeptical, just try it. I’ve worked next to this place for years and I’ve always just thought it looked kind of weird.

Finally got around to checking JLB out. Onion rings are killer! Really enjoyed my bacon cheeseburger when I usually get a dull at most other places. Waffle fries also very good.

Came her to grab dinner very good choice. I had the cheese burger with a side of chili cheese waffle fries. The burger was a great size and patty was delicious! Loved every topping it had, the burger was a 10/10. The fries were good as well everything was hot and fresh. Also grabbed the fried Oreos, a must if you have a sweet tooth ver yummy. The chicken strip Buffalo ranch sandwich was good as well. The place was very clean and to go packaging was good. The items on the menu are worth the price in my opinion at least the items I had. They have a nice patio outside as well and plenty of seating inside and out of the restaurant. Also the wait time was not bad at all, went there around 6:30 PM. Overall food was great definitely going back if I’m ever craving another burger and fries

Always a great experience. The staff is super friendly and food hits every time. I go for the burgers BUT their fried fish is toooooo good! You can close your eyes and point anywhere on the menu and I guarantee it will be good.
