Bloody Mary, fries, and garlic Parm boneless chicken was awesome . Sound control and seating options were very good. Food came hot. Dishes, tables, silverware clean. Our waitress was pleasant, prompt, and knowledgeable. Would definitely eat there again.

We have driven by this place too many times without stopping, so we recently decided it was time to give them a try and we were SO pleased with our experience! We had Michelle P as our server and she was phenomenal. She gave the best recommendations and was so accommodating!! The food was super tasty and the atmosphere was nice and comfortable. We can’t wait to return

Been coming here for a few years now. Food is always good. Had the Southern Skillet breakfast and loved it. They get REALLY busy sometimes (especially on Sunday) & I’m not a fan of large crowds of strangers, so I tend to steer clear when the parking lot is full lol.

Picked this place for a group of five birthday lunch. It had a variety of choices. Two got burgers, two got crazy big fish sandwiches, and one got the lake perch. We all left full and happy. The service was great!

I had heard many great things about J.J's, so we stopped in while in the area. My wife had the Chicken Parmesan which she said was good, but said it had an extra sauce on the chicken that she didn't care for. I went with the Lake Perch which had good flavor and texture, not overly soft or mushy. The dinner salad was good and fresh too. Not sure if it's always self seating, but it was when we were there. Service was fast even on a Friday night maybe 10 from the time we ordered.

You do not go away hungry here. The food was good and the staff were so nice and friendly. The side salad was served in a cold bowl so it was nice and crispy.

Found JJ Ruby's when searching for breakfast spots south of Mt. Pleasant and were delighted we found it! Inside was inviting and a cozy atmosphere and staff was super friendly. Was there at around 9am on a Friday morning and it was about 3/4 full and got a table right away. Decent menu - chose the Southern Skillet which was really good and would get again. Service was fast and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely go again when I'm in the area!
