| - This place, is one of those hidden jewels. There are some ups and downs. But the fact that we were there to eat, the food was very pleasing.
On the corner of Craig and Lamb, also being next to a gas station, it stuck out with its big JUKE JOINT sign. We were looking for something new, something different and end up at Juke Joint. The outside look clean and going their a tad bit after 1pm, we notice that it did seem to be busy. We were kind of surprise in a way, that they separated the bar and the restaurant. Usually going to a bar and grill, the bar is smack dab in the middle. But in this case, it was in separate rooms. Which was very interesting and I kind of like it. It was connected by doorways, but minimizing the connection from loud music and dining area, was enjoyable. You can still hear the loud music, but its not blowing out your ear drums, as if you were in the bar. Plus, the variety of music they have was pleasing.
Since majority of the customers were in the bar area, we basically had a lot of options to sit in the dining area. It was spacious, for us to move around and relax. The scenery, was very settled, nothing really stuck out, except the big TV and a sign for Karaoke.
We were greeted by a nice elderly lady, that knew our waitress was on the other side, in the bar room. So she was kind enough to give us a menu and go over the weekend specials. We were amaze on the pricing, for the food they were serving. A 10oz New York Steak, side of vegetable (mine was corn) and a choice of mash potato, bake potato and other choices ( I chose the baked Potato), all for $5.99, then of course I'll get it. I think the wife got a double cheeseburger special, which was $4.99 and it was more then she can handle. But we did start with some Nachos with chicken, and that was amazing. I wish I could of taken it home that day and save it for later.
I don't want to forget the waitress we had, she was funny. I like the fact that she was able to entertain us and make sure we were okay. Even though she had to go back and forth to the restaurant and bar. That right there is a very dedicated waitress, who would go beyond her duty, to make sure her customers are satisfied.
Another place, that I highly recommend to try. The food was great, the staff was very nice and the waitress we had was awesome. The pricing varies, but its affordable. Take advantage of the weekend specials, cause I believe they're worth it., Go during the slow times, mainly after 12, cause I'm sure you'll enjoy it more. If we had room for dessert, then I'm sure we would highly recommend it too. But we were so full, I just wanted to go home and sleep. For a place that's so far away from the norm, its a spot that you would really enjoy, at least we did.
