    We were out with another couple. All enjoyed our meals. I had the rotisserie chicken which was tasty. I up graded one of my sides to broccoli which was steamed just right for my taste. All in all it was a pleasant experience. I rated all as very good but the value. That I rated good because both my wife and I enjoy salad and I think the up grade charge for a salad is too high.

    I felt like I was at a cheap mall restaurant. It was loud, crowded and dirty. The food and service was just mediocre. We wouldn't recommend or return.

    My husband had the 1/2 chicken and I had the filet mignon. They both were quite tasty. And you can never go wrong there with their apples on the side. And we shared the brownie dessert, which was scrumptuous. And although the restaurant was very busy, the service could not have been better. Great dinner and experience.

    Our dinner at JB Dawson’s was OUTSTANDING - cheesesteak eggrolls were to die for (3 large ones, 2 of us - we actually had to leave 3/4 of an egg roll so we could eat our dinner, lol) and our entrees were seasoned and cooked to perfection, including the veggies. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing dinner. The food was absolutely perfectly cooked and plated. The atmosphere and mood complimented the evening wonderfully. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. The wine and drinks were perfect with our dinner. It was our anniversary and a birthday celebration and they added a cute party favor to our dessert. Will definitely make this a regular thing when we come through. Would recommend the lobster bisque 10/10. As well as everything else.
