  The burger was pretty flippin solid.
  The bartender was the only one serving in the place and he did a really fantastic job.
  It was a weeknight with no special events and The place felt a bit like a VFW but for a local bar/grill I was pretty damn impressed with the food and the service.
  My buddy had the calzone. He's picky about calzones and pizza and he was impressed with his.
  
  Burger and a soda was 11 bucks. Pretty reasonable!

  This is one of my favorite restaurants, with awesome food, daily specials and a super nice, smart owner named Linda Sue. It has a regular crowd of the nicest, coolest people but new folks are welcomed. They get bands at night so check out their nightlife scene as well.. I saw an awesome band there lately called Steele Rose Band. One of the best burgers I've had; the other day I had chicken cordon bleu and it was wonderful. I'm dying to try the Guinness chocolate cake! A+++ all around!

  I stopped in here to see Andrea, a rockstar bartender beyond compare. Although see wasn't working this, the service in this neighborhood pub was still excellent, and I soon found myself sitting in front of a plate of delicious spiced shrimp. Yum!
  
  JW's spiced shrimp was really quite a surprise as it was cooked to perfection. So many places over-cook their shrimp, but JWs gets it just right. It was also satisfying knowing that for once you were eating healthy in a bar of all places. The boiled shrimp was compliment by a side of JW's secret shrimp sauce which appeared to contain capers. Hooray! For capers for in my view they are not used nearly enough.
  
  Besides the stellar menu and service, another thing I like about JWs is that it is clean. I mean so many dive bars can really offer to much grime for my taste, but not JWs. No, this spot is simply clean, friendly neighborhood bar that is certain to make you glad you stepped in for a few.

  On a Yelp post about $5 burgers on Mondays,  I stopped in today to try it out.  When I walked I , I was a bit taken back because the outside of the restaurant looks laid back but the inside had a stuffy atmosphere that was aiming for way more than casual dining. I had to walk through the lobby area to see if anyone was there and was greeted by an extremely rude bartender. I was told to just take a seat anywhere. Aside from a few people sitting at the bar, there were no other patrons. That should have been my clue.  A man came out of the kitchen and told us where to sit.  He didn't come with menus or a kind attitude.   I took a paper flyer with the specials on it and a menu.  I opened my menu and it had food smeared inside... yuck.  The burger special said it came with cheese and any other toppings would be .50 each extra. No mention of if it came with  chips or fries so I assume those would be extra too.  I had such an uneasy feeling with the rudeness that I left before ordering.
  
  I WAS ACTUALLY CHASED BY THE ANGRY BARTENDER all the way to my car where she waited by my car door until I would tell her why I left.  She said something about being too busy cleaning to help us.  I truly felt threatened by her demeanor.  It was like I had walked uninvited into someone's house.  
  
  The whole thing was creepy. If you are looking for a sad and dark place to drink in the middle of the day, this is a good place.  If you actually want lunch, go next door to Five Guys like I did!  I won't ever go here again and toss caution to those who do.  If zero stars were an option, that is what they would get from me.
