I can't believe I have not rated Java House! I have some friends who swear by the joint and others who would need a giant historical oversized pole just to get near the entrance.
Myself, well I'm a bit divided. The food is just meh, and the beer is okay. There are sometimes decent deals on pitchers and food specials. I've never had any health issues after eating the food.
Only thing I dislike are the washrooms. You have to pass the open kitchen to get to them and they are really gnarly, so it really does destroy your appetite. I'm going to give this place a 2 , but I can't see that affecting business too much. As long as it's cheap, the masses will keep coming.
