JB Quimby's

Stopped in on Monday before a 6:30p appointment in the same plaza. Arrived at 5:45p and sat at the bar for a drink and a quick dinner.  Little did I know...everything on the menu is $5.99 EVERY Monday for Dine-In only (and upcharges apply)!!  Great deal!   The place was packed!!  There were only 2 open 2-tops!!

I ordered a drink from Ollie and placed my order a few minutes later.  I mentioned I had to leave by 6:25p and he said no problem.  Time passed, the patrons at the bar were friendly, the beer was refreshing and then it was 6:15p.  Ollie checked with the kitchen who said the food would be out in 5.  Unfortunately that didn't happen and I left the bar with no food in my tummy, or in hand.  I told him I'd be back in an hour and we could try again.

Arrived an hour later and Ollie had placed my order 10 minutes earlier so it would be ready with almost no waiting.  GREAT service!!  An hour later the restaurant was half-full and service still attentive.  I had to get going so he packed up what I didn't take a few bites from and I headed home.  The food was subpar.  I actually think the cook set my order aside from earlier and may have just reheated because the 'raved about' tots were soggy as were the chicken fingers.  I read positive reviews on both so I went with a tried-and-true I thought?  They had good flavor...if that counts.

I would rate this 3 stars because I was so disappointed in the food but I plan to try again on a different Monday when I have more time to stay and eat fresh food. The service earned this 4 stars.

**If you head in on a Monday, prepare to have a drink or two before your food arrives. A $3.25 beer pint special, $5.99 meal and some open time in your schedule will probably have you reviewing Mondays with 5 stars.

Nice craft beer selection, fresh and flavorful bar food with a flight upscale twist, this is a great find! Had the Porkchop special and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection!! Pork can be tricky .. undercooked it will be tough and chewy. Over cooked and it'll be dry and flavorless.. they have it nailed and brought it to the table piping hot!! I'll be back and you should try it too!!

A good family-friendly casual restaurant with decent food and an average beer selection with a few craft taps. You'll get good bar food here, and the fish fry is something I'd definitely order again. The fries are extra crispy. As for the ambiance, I think it's kind of depressing. A bar in a strip mall, dark inside, old tvs. I tried watching a hockey game from my bar seat and was difficult to make out some of it. The dining room is open and has a homey feel. The service is prompt and friendly. I do like JB Quimby's for its offerings of good bar food, great wings and a good fish fry, but as far as ambiance and location, there are other places I'd probably choose over it for a beer and pub grub. Good place to go with a family!!!
