Amazing chicken souvlaki takes a little time to make but definitely fresh and tasty. Wife loves the steak on a bun. Tastes great every time we go!!
First time going to JJs, must say a very nice family atmosphere and very welcoming staff! Took the family out for some food before a fun night at the park. No complaints on the very delicious and filling food we had! Thank you to all the staff at JJs for making us feel welcome, and we will definitely be coming back 🙂
Came here on the recommendation of a friend in the area and we're so pleasantly surprised bythe service, the value, and the flavour! We ordered the 2 cheeseburger, fries, and pop meal and couldn't even make it through the fries. The burger was way better than any fast food joint for the sameish cost. We will definitely be back, can't wait to try the souvlaki! (Also they serve their ketchup cold which is so overlooked by other places and way more enjoyable!)
Not much for ambience, but the food is delicious. I had a pork souvlaki dinner. Meat was cooked well, and seasoning was done well. I asked for extra Greek salad, which was generous. Servers were friendly but no table service here. Above average place but certainly not fancy.
First time trying this location after hearing some great reviews from my local community. Ordered Banquet burger and fries during lunch wills on the road. Great owners, George and Helen who were there and had a great conversation while picking up my order. You can do dine in or take out. Steady busy inside and everything is very clean and organized. Everything tasted so great and filled me up for lunch. Fries were great and ate them while I was driving home. Great selection of food items and will be back to check out the rest of the menu. Yasas kai yamas!
Great halibut and chips. The service is also so warm and welcoming. We always come here when we are in town.
I'm so happy for places like this existing. The food is good and familiar. Better Burgers than whatever chain is around.
Everything here is delicious, but I especially love the Greek dishes! I had the chicken souvlaki but have had the pork in the past both are very yummy.
Always good food, been many times.
Owner is a really great guy and the food is delicious
Good spot, Steak on a kaiser was good.
home made and the best!
My only critique, I wish they would stay open later! Best gyros in town.
Beautiful and delicious food at a ma and pa restaurant !!! We received great and friendly service. Would definitely go back again
Great family serving great food...at a very affordable price
Amazing staff and awesome food.
A nice family restaurant, I always got the food right. I ordered souvlaki dinner.
Awesome food Awesome people. And now DELIVERY !!!!
Great staff, fresh food, easy to order takeout, or dining in. Family deal is amazing for my family of four
Me and my family love this place. The food is great and reasonably priced.
There is takeout or sit-down and its best to call your order in. The Chicken souvlaki dinner is delicious and today I tried the Peamal on a kaiser. I was not disappointed as it was really good and they do not skimp on the bacon. Their burger/fries special is awesome! JJs has become a staple for many years now due to their consistency of wonderful food and lovely staff. The food is far superior than what you would receive at a chain restaurant. They really want you to have an enjoyable experience. They have amazing specials every day, and the prices are incredibly reasonable!
Fantastic place Food was excellent. Service with a smile Clean and very enjoyable Food : 5/5
I recently visited JJs Greek restaurant and had an amazing experience! The souvlaki sandwich was delicious (tzatziki was perfect, chicken slow cooked to perfection, great portions) and the steak on a Kaiser bun was cooked to perfection. The flavors were authentic and truly captured the essence of Greek cuisine. If anyone knows Johnny s Burger in Scarborough (VP & Shepard), it s pretty much the same and likely even better. The ambiance of the restaurant was old school (which is ideal). I highly recommend JJs for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience with top-notch food. I m very happy this exists in cobourg :-).
Great food!
Amazing dinners!
Hit and miss on quality of food The one Cashier could use some customers service training. Food
Great food
Honestly the BEST cheese burger we have had in a very long time! Fresh homemade fries were delicious! Nice and comfortable booths. Very clean and nice to chat with the owner! The menu is huge, with so many different choices. Looking forward to our next visit!
Great Food! Friendly service! Definitely Recommend going here!
Amazing! Great food with great prices! Food
Excellent food. Very friendly .
Amazing food, great service! The family has been in the area since I was in high school. Little on the $$ side but Id pay it twice for the quality.
Always a favorite
Honestly one of the best souvlaki I ve ever had and the restaurant is so old school. I love the community feeling it has. I went to roseneath and got a bunch of herbs
A staple in the area. Lovely folks running a killer grill.
Best place in cobourg to grab a burger and fries. Wouldnt go anywhere else
Ordered the Cheeseburger combo and it was excellent. Very tasty and the gravy on the fries was superb.
Excellent restaurant to go too.
Had a burger and Newfie fries tonight, burger was great but the newfie fries are disgusting. They are supposed to have stuffing mixed In but they just seem to sprinkle the stuffing mix on top and it makes it dry. I ended up throwing it out.
OMG I love their club house sandwich and spicy fries....I swear to God that it was absolutely perfect... its a hard sandwich to make and JJS kill it every time. The staff are amazing and make you feel like you are at home. Its such a great place to eat. My husband loves their burgers. So you need to dine here. I promise you wont regret it Kid-friendliness: Its definitely a place to take your kids. They would always have something the little ones will love
Big portions for price point! Owners are friendly and welcoming! Newfie fries were delicious! Keep up the great work!
I love this place. Good food and reasonable prices.
Excellent food and great service!
Excellent food and plenty of it. Friendly staff and obviously good at their jobs. I have yet to have a bad experience here. If your in a rush make sure to order ahead because this place is busy. A true gem. Parking: Its a strip mall so there is semi limited parking.
I don t recommend the hot burger at all. I was poorly described what it is, it s quite literally 2 pieces of bread, with burgers on top, then a handful of fries all doused in gravy. The burger and bread is soggy and the entire thing lacks flavour and best of all it all came up to a whopping $20
Great prices for good food.
Always the best food, staff and expectations....love this place. Burgers, fries, Greek love.....delish
Excellent food and service. Never a disappointment. The menu is great. Only wish I could try all of it. So far, everything is fantastic.
Excellent Service Delicious Food Great Prices Food : 5/5
Get food here quite often never had the fish and chips. Tonite I tried the halibut and chips and they were the absolute best.
ummmm Why do the sheep still go to McDonalds?.. you could get a Real Burger here!!.. and less expensive!! A++
Service tonight super friendly and nice. Overall Great food experience Everything on point 10/10 Food
Love this place by far jjs is our favourite place to eat, the food is home and the staff are professional and friendly and respectful ...
Awesome people and food and they know have deliverey
I ordered the cheese burger with fries. This was the best burger I ever had. The burger was a fair size. The fries were great. Both tasted healthy with no greasy taste. I would recommend this place. Looking forward to trying other food on the menu. The prices are quite reasonable.
Always amazing...food and conversation!!
Been around since i was young and they still have it all the same, thats what i like most, they havent tried to change things.
The best family restaurant in town Ive tried the menus and have never been disappointed staff are friendly always a smile and laugh you couldnt ask for better
Great food and a great atmosphere
Looking for a quick sit-down meal that wasnt your standard fast food. What a great find! Bright and clean yet simple atmosphere; hot, fast, and tasty food; welcoming and kind staff. So glad we stopped by on our way through and can see why your regulars appreciate what you do. Thanks!
Best food in town. Great people you cant go wrong there.
The food was good, maybe a little pricey. Burger patty seems like a frozen one. A nice spot that Ill go to again at some point to try something other than the burger.
Great place for burgers and fries! Would definitely recommend if youre looking for a quick bite to eat
Very disappointed with the quality of food & service.
Food was delicious. Staff were friendly.
Glad they are open again fantastic food Cathy Fowler
Great Greek Salad and even better Cheese Burger
Best Greek Dinner in the area! They also have lots of different items on the menu but I always go for the souvlakis! Portions are big- worth your money! 1000% recommend!!!
Best burger in town and my favorite fries from any restaurant.
Very friendly and great burgers
Excellent souvlaki and good service.
One of our favorite places everything weve tried from the menu has been good reasonably priced large portions the staff is polite friendly service for take out quick and efficient clean
Hot dogs squirt in ur mouth
We wanted to try something different and found a great selection on their on-line menu. Prices were very reasonable and food was hot and tasty.
Great food! The owners are friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to my next visit!!!
Best takeout ever!
Best food anywhere..always fresh and well worth it
Amazing food and service!
Great food here! Pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
Good bang for the buck good portions and taste
Food is good. Service is good. Prices are a bit high. Food is good. Portions are pretty good, food is cooked well. They dont really do service. You order at the register then wait for your name to be called and take your food to your table. Once done you throw out your garbage and leave your tray on top of the garbage. Do not mistake this as a bad thing though - they are very friendly and its a warm atmosphere. Prices are a bit high for the area/competitors. I think either portions should be upped a bit, or prices should come down a bit. Either way, its great for a quick bite to eat, its nice to see family run restaurants still kicking. Parking: Quite a bit of parking out front and on the side. Ive never had an issue with getting a spot. Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is ground level. Single front door means a larger wheelchair may have issues fitting through.
Always friendly staff and some of the best food in town. My family and I stop in whenever we are in Cobourg!
The best burgers! Family owned and operated. Great spot
Fish an Chips vary good thank you..great service
Great food, great service always remember your name
Totally enjoyed chicken souvlaki dinner and 2 pc halibut and fries. And baklava for dessert. EVERYTHING was delicious!!!!
Good food
Excellent food! And really great prices! Burger and fries for $9.99, whats better than that? Generous portions as well. A must go if your in the area. Staff is also very friendly - you will see me again JJs :)
JJ is Cobourgs staple. Because anything you order is going to be very good always Fresh and very tasty best fish and chips in town.great big burgers and souvlaki dinners.Man now lm really hungry see you all there.
Outstanding! What a wonderful gem found right here in Cobourg!! Such amazing food. Fresh, made with love and passion. The burgers: WOW! The fish and chips: WOW! Please everyone, get out there and support this wonderful small business, especially during these awful covid times!
Great Souvlaki dinners live here!
Love it good food
Ordered fish and chips on a Good Friday for the first time from Jj s and it was worth the 1-1/2 hr wait. They do have the best fish and chips in town. Definitely recommend the place. We will have to try the other menu items. Glad to add another local restaurant for take out night.
Great food, super friendly staff, great value. Will be revising again soon.
Awesome homeburger and fries. Fast and friendly place and they were very busy with phone orders at the time. Highly recommended place to eat in Cobourg
Absolutely delicious
I came to the town to buy a car, I got the car, also the best homestyle burgers loved the place.
mmmmm god burg
excellent,as usual.
I have been going to JJs for a long time. I have never been disappointed.
Great souvlaki, great fries (I like them on the crispy side) and a decent burger. Personally I found the gyro meat was a little bland...but still good. My wife found the dressing for the salad a little on the sweet side for her taste...but thats another personal preference. Service was friendly and efficient. This will be another regular in the rotation for Cobourg.
We have ordered from JJs in the past and been satisfied with the food we received. However, last time we ordered food, the bacon on our burgers was undercooked (very soft and the fat was stringy), and the Newfie fries were a problem as well. For those of you who might not be aware or this, Newfie fries refers to fries with stuffing and gravy on top. Someone poured dry stuffing mix on the fries, and there was no gravy on top. It was like eating fries covered in sand. Very disappointed, doubt I will be back. 2/5 only because they were good to begin with.
Great food, great owners, great service!
Good chicken souvlaki, the tzatziki sauce was a little undersized. The rice was ok, could use some veggies, the Greek salad was disappointing, romaine lettuce would be better instead of head lettuce. Add some cucumbers and more tomatoes, peppers and purple onion, the dressing was sparse.
Great food
