"The servers would not leave us alone. From the time we sat down the servers would not leave us alone-even after being told that we were not in a hurry and wanted to visit and enjoy our time together. The crowning blow was the server clearing 2 plates and asking if we wanted the desert menu before 2 of us were finished eating. The food was excellent but the service ruined the evening!"

"I took 2 clients to lunch, and it took 50 minutes to get our food- way too long for a business lunch when trying to be in and out in under an hour. Our service was not that great either. We had to ask for refills 2 times."

"My husband and I have been coming to J Bucks-Clayton for our wedding anniversary since 2007. It's great every time! The menu changes each time but that's understandable given our once a year visit. The service is always outstanding. The food is always great and I love their bar selections. We plan on keeping this tradition for many years to come."

"Perhaps our experience would have been better if we were not stuck at "Table 50" which is all the way in the back near the kitchen and right next to the bread slicing machine. It was hot, smelly and loud. Chicken patty on sandwich was hard and tough. Service was perky but our request that extra cinnamon sugar be left off the sweet potato fries was ignored. Yuk!"
