Garlic butter on breakfast toast, more focused on there Italian brunch then they were on there breakfast . Try jam on garlic toast ( unknown to us ) and ZERO compensation offered in Liu of the mistake 😔...also waited a half hour, only two customers in restaurant.
Went here specifically to drink but they didn't have a drink menu and was told they were "Working on it". I asked for any kind of cider they have because that's a go too, they don't serve any variety. I ended up ordering a root beer because she didn't provide any suggestions and I wasn't about to play 20 questions. Later I noticed that 2 of the 6 (attached) ads on the little stand on the table had some of the drinks on it. Odd this wasn't suggested by the server. I ordered one of the drinks and the server completely disappeared, our food being delivered by a different server. The food I had was quite good, the fish and chips being a large well cooked piece of fish and a normal portion of fries. Although the friend I was with said the chicken burger had an over toasted bun resembling plastic. During the food I was finally followed up on my drink, being told they didn't serve it anymore as the promotion has ended. This is quite disappointing, why did they not remove the AD. This drink experience is quite a hassle.
What a fantastic place to eat. Probably the best steak sandwich that I had ever had. The second night I had the club house and that was a home run also. Service could be a bit quicker as glasses often sat empty for a while. If you were trying to watch the hockey games on the TV’s, the score board was cut off on every TV in there so they probably could be updated. And it looks a bit tacky, their till systems are just mounted on a post in the restaurant and all of the wires are just hanging everywhere, with a bunch of zip ties. Could have easily been done better if they were thinking of appearance. But that being said, I’m in FSJ again this week and I will be back for supper again. The food here is fantastic and the prices are great too.
Nice place, friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices, not busy for late lunch
I’m sitting in my truck, no time to waste to write this review. Ordered the steak bites to start with the spinach dip, main course was Fillet Mignon 9oz with Rice and veggies, cooked to medium. I’ve eaten many places as I travel for work, and JJ’s steak is top 5 easily, and definitely the best in FSJ. I hope this wasn’t a fluke, I’ll be back again to make sure! EDIT: I've been back 3 times after original post, and can vouch that the consistency was no fluke. I had their filet Mignon and steak bites again last night (surprise surprise) cooked perfectly!
4 out of 5 stars for this place, went for Sunday brunch. The food was great, good service, nice place ,really enjoyed the fresh cooked loaded omelets. Going back for some more. The only downside was the male waters after shave was over powerful to the wife and granddaughter, even herd the same thing from the people that were sitting at tables next to us. All in all I think we will be back for the next Sunday brunch
COVID did not stop this place from great service and food. Wife had the vegetarian burger with sweet potato fries and I had the bison burger with regular fries. Mine was seasoned great (peppery) and...well my wifes was so good I was jealous I didn't order it. The mighty peace on draft is great! If you are coming through Fort St. John stop here...you will regret not doing it.
I was staying at the Pomeroy Hotel recently, and this was a nicely sized restaurant connected to it. However, for its size, it only had 1 person doing service. I was here for lunch, and there were only two families already seated. I waited for 10 minutes at my table, before tracking the server down. She was obviously overwhelmed. However, food was prompt, and was very good. I had calimari and an Elk burger, and a chocolate Kaluha cake with ice cream for dessert. Put one other person on staff, and you'll have the wait time issue taken care of.
Great quality vs price and better food then most big and more expensive chains.
Was not impressed. Poor quality. Tried again and it was still bad
Worst service ive ever had at a sitdown restraunt 03/06/24- 16:00 Food : 1/5
Absolutely amazing all around, the food is so delicious and the service is fantastic
Love Just Jacks! Thank you Team!
We went there for the lunch buffet. It featured Irish Stew and Shepherds pie. The stew was fantastic probably the best I have ever had, the shepherds pie was really good but the yorkshire pudding needs a little work.
The Buffet on Sundays is amazing. It includes coffee tea juice and Chef prepared omlette. Great deal with carved Roast Beef or a selection of breakfast and lunch entrees. Dessert was cheesecake. Delicious - we will return hungry!
Feels right at home!
Great selection, food was delicious and came quickly. It was all really great.
Food was okay, server definitely needed a shower and lots of deodorant! Overwhelming odour when trying to visit and have a meal every time he was near.
Friendly Quick service and good food period.
My son loves the buffet!
Used to be our go to for dinner or Sunday breakfast. Their standards went down over 3 years ago! Food is not good anymore. Parking: Parking lot is in dire need of repair but owners of the Pomeroy site dont care.
Food was excellent and service was good. The steaks are so good.
I stayed at the hotel for work this week, and of the 3 times Ive eaten there, the food was sub par. Tonight they served me a clubhouse on partially toasted bread, that Im sure was stake beforehand. Stay away.....
Loved it! Huge Club sandwich with yummy Sourdough bread had chunks of chicken instead of fake processed slices, big enough for 2. fries were crispy, gravy was yummy. My fav was Breakfast buffet, was incredible! They had a chef making fresh omelets right there, so good, along with all the usual breakfast goodies. Service was amazing, fast and so friendly, highly recommend!
3 pieces of Yorkshire bites for $15 was not ideal at all. Service was not the best, never got checked up or asked how our food was.. my beef dip had no sauce so it was dry had to use sauce from my Yorkshire bites because our server never checked up. My partners steak was supposed to be med/rare and it was very rare. Was very dissatisfied!! Wont be back
Would never go again. Horrible meals. Ordered medium rare steak. Got well done. Friend ordered garlic bread and apparently cheese bread is garlic bread. Other Friend had clun house which was like a shish kabob sandwich. Horrible meals.
Very un happy with meal and service . I will never goagai
Had the prime rib on one visit. Was absolutely delicious. My son had the fish and chips, also very good. Really enjoy this place
This s the first time I ve ever gave 1 star on a review. I called a day before we came to ask about a Happy Hour time and the answer was 4:00 - 6:00 pm. We came and asked the waitress, she said no happy hour here but she ll check. The answer was 5:00 - 7:00 pm! Ok, we re early which is fine then I ordered Martini with olive, turned out no olive but she brought it later. We got checked many times if we wanted to order more or is it a bill time. I ve never experience such thing like this before. Not recommend this place.
Amazing restaurant.
Went there for first time. The waitress doesnt seem to be happy to receive us. The menu was boring and limited.
Very Limited menu and not happy about the service.
Wait staff is awsome. Very attentive and there everytime you need them. Food is delicious
Always good food, not to busy in the early afternoon. Excellent chicken wrap.
Great food and family friendly!
Service used to be amazing and now you wait up to 20 minutes for a drink and after you get your food the waitress don t come check on you. When she did come with our second order of drinks it was spilling out of the glass, table was full of spilled liquor. Finally she made her way to us and asked if we were ready for the bill all while we still had full drinks and we were eating. It s sad as regulars how we were treated. Been coming here for b3 years faithfully but I think we ll find somewhere more inviting.
Went for dinner at 7. The place was empty and the main server went home I guess. The meatloaf dosh I had was undercooked in the middle but hard and way over cooked on the outside. The drinks were terrible. Worst old fashion I ever tasted. Wifes pork chops were practically rubber. We had to ask the floor cleaner if anyone worked there after sitting for 15 minutes at a table. Never eating here again and will vehemently recommend people never eat here.
Food ok. Bring a parka, as it it warmer outdoors in mid October than inside. My advice if you go here is... eat fast. If you like your food hot? You have 2 minutes to eat.
It had such possabilities... staff were friendly but... an hour and a bit waiting for the meatloaf and then it was cold . Then when I sent it back and said I am not eating that . They charged me for my wine anyways . Great presentation though on the meatloaf.
New menu, food was perfectly on point. The steak was slighter over what I expect for a rare, but thats ok. Good steak, well seasoned without being salty. The arugula on the top of the steak sandwich struck me as odd, but it was a pleasant pairing. Went for a management meeting that was scheduled. The other dishes ordered were the Salmon and the Beef Dip. Both were received well!
Just had a bowl of Tomato basil soup it was tasty server was friendly.
Huge servings friendly staff pretty fast service
Waited 25 minutes tonight for our bill, did not try the roast special as it was disappointing the first two attempts. Our food was alright, but the fries were undercooked which has been the case in the past as well.
Didnt enjoy the food or the service probably want go back!
Awesome supervisor was very attentive with his costomers
Great service great food!
Had the Saturday night steak special. WOW! Perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth, excellently seasoned. Beautiful dinner! Highly recommend, best price in town and best steak!
They have a really good club sandwich. And every Friday is wing night 1 pound of wings for five dollars
Went to just jacks for valentines day dinner and the service was great and so was the food
Hotel restaurant and bar all in one place convenience
Great food....great staff
Good service and food is amazing!!
Awesome Good!
Great service farmilair faces needs a chef
A coworker of mine told me about wing night on Friday nights, so I decided to go for wings with some friends last night. When we arrived the hostess told me we needed to wear masks. My friends put the masks on, but myself being medically exempt, I proceed to tell the lady at the counter. She didn t like that, and proceeds to tell me it s the law . In reality it is not a law, especially if you have a medical exemption. I wasn t rude, but I stood up for myself and my rights of my medical exemption. The staff were snarky, rude and refused me service. I will not be going back to Just Jacks
The server was lovely. Saw her once to order, once to pay the bill. We ordered the nachos which were genuinely bad. Very tiny plate, half burned to the paper, half undercooked. Paid $6 to add about 2 tbsp of burned, shrivelled granules of what used to be ground beef that we finally found burned at the bottom with the paper cheese. Salsa, guac, and sour cream were okay but not worth the $. Left both feeling ill even after not choking through it all. Idk if the food was genuinely this bad or if it was just post-covid bad, however, we wont be eating there ever again.
AMAZING food. Great staff!
Last Friday my husband and I came in for wings. It was 5:30:pm and the reopeningafter the pandemic closure we are frequent customers and so were lòoking so forward to the experience. We were asked by the hostess if we had reservations and I explained that I had called the night before to see if they were open for business and was not told that we needed to reserve. She stated that she could get us in around 8 pm but that they were fully booked. Despite nor a soul being in the restaurant she would not serve us. We walked out so incredibly disappointed and unfortunately will not be back.
Great food. Wings night on Friday nights is always fun.
Great food and great service:)
Food was good. 1st time back in here since the pandemic. Got my usual. Never a disappointment.
great food
The $20 rib eye steak meal on Saturday was cooked perfectly
Decent prices, good portion sizes, meat seasoned perfectly. Try the bison burger ;)
Kiran wouldnt take my order with 1 hour of open time left
Extremely small portions and pricy. I went to ask the server if maybe they forgot some bread or something, things happen, but she gave me so much attitude and then never got back to me. Food wasn t that good. I don t recommend this place.
Very poor meat quality - ate the rib eye steak special. Probably the worst steak ive eaten..
Great Food Awesome Staff
Food is always good
Service is pretty good, great burgers! Nachos leave a bit to be desired
Great food awesome wings
Great service and excellent food quality
Talk about a disappointment. Went with some friends for a steak dinner, the potato options where limited, I was hoping for a baked potato with my steak but I guess they just have fries or mashed so I went with mashed and had to pay extra for gravy....... once it came my jaw dropped. Potataoes where about as plain as plain could be the gravy tasted like nothing, the veggies where meh and over cooked and the steak was meat I guess..... It was tough, tasted like it had been frozen and had little to no seasoning on it and the onion marmalade that came with it was just fried onions mixed with syrup.... And to top it all off our server provided almost no service and was not very intuitive to the needs of the patrons. Very disappoing. I had visited The Office the restaurant at the Pomeroy in GP and I had high expections due to amazing food and service there. To sum up Just Jacks at the Pomeroy would be to say yes they serve food. But that s when they stop trying. I am planing on trying the Sunday brunch buffet. Let s see how that goes ....
Spectacular restaurant environment, with fantastic service with drinks as well as service. The bartender is extremely tremendous . The place to be in Fort St. John
Got food poisoning 2 out of the 6 times ive been there. never again dont recommend it. Foods not great either.
Disgusting...food
Very disappointed prices keep going up and portions getting smaller.
Great food great place to eat
Menu changes since the last time we were there were disappointing. If you want pub food, you can get it on the new menu, but there are not a wide variety of dishes, the prices for common food are in the higher range for what you get and there are few interesting dishes for adults looking for a tasty dinner. The pizza is one of the better things on the menu. The crust tasted a bit flour-y, but I took that to mean hand made there which is a plus and they put on good quality toppings.
Everything was good.
3/5, it wasn t bad but for the type of restaurant it appears to be and the placement, I was expecting some good quality food and service but the service was very slow and the food quality was just decent, nothing special with prices that compare to much better quality options.
Great staff great service
Nice friendly staff good food very clean and not crowded they just need a bigger menu then it would be 5 star
Lunch time rocks. The specials are great option to change up the menu options. Carly is our waitress and her service is 2nd yo none.
Great place to go for drinks or a bite to eat. Staff are welcoming. They make a mean Caesar.
We are staying at the Pomeroy and decided to get some room service. I went with the 40 dollar ny steak. Long story short, I wouldnt feed the meal to my dog. I dont blame the chef, Im sure its management who tells them what and how to cook. Their cooking style is, add butter! If management reads this, please understand that some people like the taste of vegetables. You dont need to give your customers brolloci swimming in butter. Nor do you need to serve a baked patatoe covered in a stick of butter. Its disgusting Moreover, get a new meat supplier. Or buy local. There is great meat here in Fort Saint John. You dont need to ship in lame cuts of meat from Toronto. The kicker was the person who deleivered my food, said since it was the first night I couldnt charge to my room. Never heard of that ever. So I pay with card. After paying she shows me my bill that has gratuitity included! Classy. Dont eat here.
Over the weekend I came here to eat, one of the girls in the restaurant served me she was very welcoming and nice, checked on me regularly with all her other tables she was very good with the kids, which you dont get very often in fort St. John , she was very outgoing and talkative, meal was very good and the service was perfect, very kind young girl !
Great food, great service. Pricy
Excellent buffalo wings
Great food and service, my family is always excited to come and eat here.
All you can Eat ribs.
Great food, service, staff very welcoming. Large portions, better have a good appetite. 6 of us were there and all enjoyed our meals. Will definitely be going back!
