Living in Austin, I get to experience all sorts of cultural dishes and foods I never would have tried otherwise...but there's nothing quite like coming back to DeKalb for the holidays and going to the Junction for their good old Monterrey Chicken. FSJ is definitely in the heart of this small town. I've grown up going to eat at the Junction with my family after church, with my friends after a shopping trip, or before a Friday night football game. I've never tried anything from the Junction I didn't like - the Monterrey Chicken is my favorite, but they have everything from sandwiches to ribs to pizza to awesome appetizers to a delicious salad bar with their own homemade dressings. The restaurant itself has a Southwestern country atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. Ask anyone in town - if you're passing through DeKalb, plan to eat here! You won't regret it!
Review Source:I visited from the SF bay area and came here for a local steak dinner. Â A big, juicy rib eye was only $11.99! Â Yeah, I could get a steak for that price in the bay area but it would be about the size of a credit card. Â DeKalb is lucky to have this restaurant. Â I heard the carfish is awesome too. Â Will definitely come back when I'm in town.
Review Source:The food is wonderful. Â My boyfriend and I came here today to visit his family. Â We were hungry and his father wanted some catfish. Â We sat in the car for a while, wondering where in the world would we find some catfish at 6:30 pm on a Saturday. Â The only alternative was either to drive into the next town maybe even further, or go to Sonic/Dairy Queen across the street ( bleh!! Â Commercial food is everywhere!!.). until we saw FSJ and lord & behold they had catfish. Â We also ordered some chicken fried chicken, tilapia, and pecan pie. Â
There is nothing like getting some down home country cooking in a small town, and the pecan pie?? *Drool* I may have to take another 3 hour drive back here again just to buy it. Â The hostess at the front who took our to go order was very sweet, and the restaurant was pretty busy.
Next time we come to visit fam, I know exactly where to go for food
This is my small hometown restaurant.  I can't tell you how lucky we are to live in a small town and have a restaurant of this quality.  Life would simply not be the same without FSJ.  Food is always good.  Service is always excellent.  And I don't know how they do it for the price.  Folks come from miles away to eat here.  Saturday night specials including the Steak and Shrimp Scampi...can't be beat.  The lightly blacken Trout....dang!  Also secret special sauces like the spicy ranch and Jalapeño Jack Sauce...keep things exciting.  Small but great salad bar with HOMEMADE Ranch and other dressings. Homemade pies and desserts, yummy.  Stop in if you're traveling through.  If you live here...you already know...good good good.
