Being that we are fortunate enough to have close access to all the unique dining experiences that living in Toronto brings, dining at the commercial big-box joints are not our thing. I admit I am a food snob, and I've been known to say that the big-box joints employ 'cooks' not 'chefs' and the food certainly reflects that in those places.
For a while we avoided JB's because we thought it was looked a little too 'Boston-Pizza-ish'. Then a neighbour of ours had nothing but compliments to say, so we ventured in...and we were not disappointed!
The service is fantastic, and while the size of the resto and menu appear similar to those big-box types, the food is all homemade, well executed and just DAMN TASTY!
Kobe meatloaf, ribs, burgers were all a hit with our family!
