Junior's is consistently excellent. The food tastes fresh and delicious every time, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and on the ball—even during their busy lunch rush. They keep things running smoothly and make sure every customer is taken care of. It’s hard to find a place that gets both the food and the experience right, but Junior’s nails it. Highly recommend!

Stopped for lunch on a road trip. Cafeteria style service. I had the country fried steak, it was the best I have had. Staff was very friendly. Very glad we stopped.

Visiting from California and came in tonight for their prime rib dinner. This was the best prime rib we have ever had (not exaggerating!) and at an unbelievably affordable price. The portions were generous, the sides were perfect (creamed corn, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cornbread etc) and the service was lovely. Can’t recommend this cute restaurant enough.

The food and the quality was above normal. Line servers were a little snippy but not unbearable. The food quality was well above most and atmosphere was memoresque. The price value was excellent. While I enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak, excuse me, "Country" fried steak, I am used to a different type (and name) being from Texas but different doesn't mean "not good". It is definitely worth going...again and again.

This was our first time here since they changed ownership. They give generous portions and the price was reasonable. I had chicken and dressing with gravy, a roll and cream corn with tea. They have cranberry sauce but I had to ask for it. The room temperature stuffing was good, but a bit too salty. The roll and tea were good. The cream corn was delicious. My husband had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and fried apples with a roll and tea. He said it was good. Everything was lukewarm except for his apples, which were hot. He said everything was pretty good. For the price of $29 for both meals, I would give a grade of B. We will most likely come back and try something else.
