My youngest and I stopped for lunch. The food was excellent and my only complaint that is nit picky was that they had 4 TVs clustered together and on but not receiving a signal so just had an error code. There were TVs on the other side of the room that was off so this was the only distraction on the atmosphere. Our server recommended the fried pickle burger and it was awesome. I highly recommend and look forward to visiting again so I can try other options 😁
Alexis is the best, ngl. Sorry not sorry, good time great food! Oh yea, Hali the manager was superb, touched my table 3 times. Quality.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience thanks to our waitress Brittany and the manager Jamie. Brittany was friendly, attentive, and stayed on top of everything from start to finish. Our drinks were always full, the food came out quickly, and she made sure we had everything we needed without us ever having to ask. She had a great attitude and made us feel welcome the entire time. Jamie was just as impressive. You can tell good management when everything runs smoothly, and that’s exactly what we experienced. Jamie checked on us, made sure we were satisfied, and clearly leads the team well. It’s always refreshing to see employees who genuinely care about customer service. We’ll definitely be back because of the excellent service we received! 👏
Top-tier experience at broad stret location ! Huge thanks to Alexis for the sweetest service and Tanner for quick efficient servicebehind the bar. special shout-out to Faith for making sure i could hear and see all the super bowl commercials. 10/10—do yourself a favor and get the spicy garlic parm wings!
Brittany and Jamie are our go-to when we come here! They are absolutely the best and have truly become friends of ours. Their service is always outstanding, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for them — you’ll receive top-notch service every single time!
Great music, great food, great atmosphere and great service! There were many food choices to pick from, and my son was delighted to enjoy a root beer float! We will definitely be returning.
Great food, great service and great atmosphere! Fair prices and great menu selection! Loved the wings!
Fun place! Our server, Gabby, was amazing. I appreciate a sports bar that has tvs but isn't so loud you can't have a conversation. The jalapeño poppers were reasonably peppy and the Southeastern salad was excellent!
The garlic Parmesan flavored chicken wings was finger licking good. Very nice and comfortable place to bring your fur baby, my Arya was treated very well and the waitress was super friendly. The back outdoor seating area is covered, has fans going, has the television going and music playing in the background. It was a great dining experience. Highly recommended!! Take your fur baby out for some chicken wings, those wings are calling!
Courtney is one of the best waitresses we have ever had. She is so friendly, extremely competent and very efficient. She went over and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to make our first visit to Jefferson's an amazing experience. Food was top notch as well. 10/10 recommend
