Great place to eat. My wife and I had the Turkey dinner for Christmas Eve. After a nice dinner salad, the entre was composed of a literally HEAPING plate of cut/sliced turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes smothered in rich brown turkey gravy. Big cup of cranberry sauce on the side (I ordered extra cranberry - yum). I barely finished my plate, and my wife took about 1/3 of hers home in a take-out box. My only problem was that I had no room for their excellent dessert pies. Service was very good. Late 70's dark interior. Big screen TV's everywhere. Lots of tables and booths. We were very impressed.

We've been coming here for 8 years now and we can always count on friendly service, great food and at a reasonable price. The food quality is very good and is always consistent. Their Prime Rib on Fridays is outstanding, not what you expect from a diner-style place, and all of the food is fresh and they have an amazing soup/salad bar too. I would give them a 5 star because they used to serve alcohol and had the best Bloody Mary, but they no longer sell alcohol, which is a real bummer, but I definitely recommend KJs.

Good food, great prices. The facility is nice with plenty of seating. The service is slow at times but otherwise a good experience.

Well this place is darling. We popped in here last night and what a great little spot! Candace was our server and she was absolutely wonderful. Husband had the club and salad bar, I had the half turkey cheddar sandwich and salad bar as well. Everything was well stocked and fresh! It's nice and cool inside as well as pretty quiet. We will definitely be back!

This place was actually pretty good I thought. Solid buffet with lots of choices and constantly refreshed. I thought the fresh fruit was delicious, coffee was hot, and pretty much anything you were looking for in breakfast was at the buffet. You can order off the menu but for a few bucks more get the buffet. We were served quickly, other places around town had 40 minutes wait times. Place was clean and spacious, good for crowds or large families. I'd visit again!

Years ago I came to this restaurant when it was JBs and I LOVED the breakfast menu. I always got the stuffed French toast. Seriously so good. I was sad to see that now KJs doesn't have an all day breakfast menu, but they do still have the French toast during breakfast hours. I got the sourdough burger and it was pretty good! The sourdough did become a little bit soggy, but otherwise the flavors were great and it was filling. We had a large group that came in waves and they were very accommodating. Though the interior looks mostly the same as when it was JBs, they have made some small changes to update it and I love it!

Came in this evening to eat with a group of 10. The staff were very accommodating as different groups arrived at different times. They quickly took drink orders and were great about getting the orders right and brought out in a timely manner. At the end of the meal they were able to break out the meals by group too. My family got a Sourdough burger, my son got the corn dog meal, and I got the A1 bacon burger. The burgers were well done and the fries were plentiful. Wish the A1 burger had some more sauce as it wasn't particularly flavorful. Bacon was nice and crispy.
