Hear from our valued guests
Beautiful location, tastefully decorated inside and out. Great gourmet burgers. I had burger with bacon and fried egg, cooked perfectly. The seasoned fries are good. She had bison burger with Gluten-free bun , cooked perfectly and the bun was actually good. Service was great, very attentive and prompt. Food arrived quickly and hot. Definitely going back and will recommend to friends.
Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday, great food, great service. The deviled egg appetizer is amazing. We also got the bison burger and the elk burger. Both are great choices.
First time in Elizabethtown, beautiful little place, and the J.R. is the place to visit. Had the Bugle boy Elk burger, it was very interesting and tasteful, also had a smoked table Rickhouse rita, that was good as well. Friendly and nice staff, recommend everyone to visit.
Good restaurant with good food, excellent atmosphere and service. Had a great Elizabeth smoked old fashioned, and enjoyed the bologna sandwich and sweet potato fries. The group also loved their burgers. I appreciate their wide variety of bourbons and regional snacks like the bologna sandwich and fried green tomatoes. Pricing was not bad and was a bit less than most city restaurants. Obviously rare bourbon will cost more and you can see from the menu pictures they have some they are charging a lot for, but good for them if they can get it and stay on business. I recommend and will be back.
Wonderful place for our lunch after a day of shopping. The atmosphere was perfect for us to enjoy our cocktails while catching up with each other. No one had to raise their voice. Service was awesome. We never once had to ask for anything, and the food was delicious. One of our parties tried a vegetarian burger, which was sent back due to a lack of flavor, but outside of that, everything was perfect. Parking was located around the town square and nearby parking lots. Less than a 5 minute walk. This is more of a restaurant setting, so it would also be ok for kids.
We went about 1pm on a Thursday. Not real busy. Food was really good. I had the loaded tots and my husband ordered a hamburger with tater tots which he said was delicious. The server was friendly and attentive. We would go back again!
Checked it out because of previous reviews. It didn't disappoint. Had their CBS burger with blue cheese. Great selection of bourbons. Tried Hardin Creek Boston. Loved it.
This place is well worth the the short easy drive off US65. Had the Buffalo Burger and Greens. Both were good. The green were an extra $2, but we're very, very tasty to my MI pallet.. There is a round about in town and when you come to it it is right before the second exit.. Enjoy. I did.
Excellent first time lunch visit to J.R. Neighbors. Our server, Eddie, was exceptional. He even recommended the Eattown Hot Chicken sandwich with tots and a side of pimento cheese for me. Great choice, Eddie! I also had a 1996 Rickhouse Rita that was very tasty. My husband ordered the Newberry double smash burger with fries. He enjoyed a Buffalo Trace followed by a Johnny Drum, both on the rocks. Thanks to everyone at J.R. Neighbors for a delightful time!
Came in town for spring break and found this lovely gem! AS SOON AS WE WALKED INSIDE WE WERE IMMEDIATELY GREETED WITH A BIG SMILE FROM ERIKA.! From the beginning to end her service was AMAZING . She was VERY informative, kind and just all around awesome. The place was really clean , the wait wasn’t little to none, if I ever visit again, I’ll make it my business to stop by, thanks for having such and amazing impact on my family while we were in town. Food was great. Some of the BEST water I’ve ever had.
