Found this gem and my first time visit, Sat 10/28/23. I always rather go to a local restaurant that care and are part of the community instead of chain places. Lovely little place. Actually have door to go in a small area for take out orders, another to go into the sit down restaurant. Nicely decorated, very clean, even the 1 shared restroom was very clean! A few locals were there with me. The only negative was they only take cash, but there is a ATM inside. I was having a hard time deciding what to order, I was down to the spaghetti on special or BBQ platter. I asked if it was possible to get a small bite to sample to help make my decision. I'm grateful that they were glad to. They both tasted so good, I wanted to order both, but decided on the spaghetti. It came with salad and bread. The lady that waited on me answered my questions, and sd she was new so she'd go ask the owner about my request. My food came out timely, salad was cold and spaghetti piping hot, as should be. All 3 staff/ owner I had contact with were friendly and efficient! I'll definitely be back the next time I have to come back to C'ville for an appt at UVA. Thank you for a enjoyable meal and experience. PS, I'm handicap, on a cane, and I found all area's are very easily accessible. Plenty of room in the extra wide booths and the restroom.

We love Jack n Jill. The staff is very friendly. They always go above and beyond for customers. The food is always fresh and cooked to order. I love everything I've ever eaten here. My son and I come in once or twice a week. The price is very reasonable and we love it!

Went for a broasted chicken… and they didn’t have it on the menu anymore. So I went for a burger. Not bad. Certainly good for the price. Feel like I should’ve ordered the dog. Not sure if I will return.

Fantastic Footlong Hot Dog!! ???? The Chile has a wonderful meaty taste, great accompaniment for the dog. Service was fast, friendly, and with a smile ????. Menu looked extensively homey! I can see why they have been around since 1945! Will return for a dinner experience. ????

While I used to live down the street from here, I had actually never eaten here. I had tried once, but they didn't accept credit cards and that was all I had on me, so I had to go elsewhere. (They now have an ATM). I happened to drop in a couple days ago not to eat, but related to a situation I was in and needed a little assistance with. I met Crystal then, who was so very sweet and amazing and she helped me tremendously. ...I made it back just now, as I hoped she would be there so I could thank her again, and I did want something to eat. I don't really eat a lot so all I ordered was an order of French fries. Now, you should know, I love French fries. They are actually my biggest weakness, and I have had some pretty good French fries. But the fries here take "amazing" to a whole new level! The portions are very generous and they have a special seasoning on them that really sets them apart from the rest! I feel like I've been deprived all my life (or at least the last 16 years,) because quite possibly the world's best French fries have been under my nose this whole time, and I never even knew it. The staff is very friendly, and it's a wonderful place to just relax and enjoy your food in. I will *definitely* be back! ??????
