Thank you showing your video of J&S Fresh Kitchen. Oh my favorite country fried steak and mashed potato ❤❤❤ When in 1980’s my grandma and aunt working many years ago. Good memories.
Thank you for watching and commenting! We've always had delicious meals at J & S. I'm glad this brought back good memories of your grandma and aunt. Have a blessed day! 😊
Thanks for another great food review. I guess I'm getting old since I still love these places but they are getting hard to find. I hope both of you have a Blessed Week.
We miss J&S in Hickory also. There quality did go down the last few years though. Been to Pigeon Forge and West Asheville also. Our boys are 42 and 36 and know what you mean "not cool". Hope to catch y'all around Granite sometime. God Bless!
The 11th commandment should be, " THOU SHALT NOT WATCH RU-vid FOOD REVIEWS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT"! This made me so hungry. That chicken pie portion was huge and glad the fried chicken was good and available that day.
Yes, I couldn't believe how big of a portion they gave her. And the fried chicken was worth waiting for them to bring it out. I didn't mind having to wait, because it gave me time to eat my other stuff, and that meant I was getting it fresh.
mmmmmmm !!! MISS eating some good ol J & S . We used to like eating there and going to Valley Hills Mall, many years ago when visiting my parents in Statesville. Reminded me of K & W . Guess cafeteria style restaurants are now a thing of the past.....i will always miss em !!! Thanks for letting us sit with yall ....LOOKED GREAT !
So glad to see that you’re doing a video from Asheville, North Carolina on Fairview Road. I used to live not too far from Fairview Road so it’s amazing to me how things have changed and 50 years lol such a good job.👍🏼
Oh, wow. I knew you were from that area, but I didn't realize you lived near that road. Thank you for sharing that. Yes, things sure have changed over the years. Is that the last time you've been back down there?
I use to eat with a family of 5 for under 20 with dessert Now that was with two kids meal .99. Last time it cost over $80 for four. Very expensive but it’s still good.
I was watching your span over the desserts, I thought I saw the German Chocolate Pie ( yummy) my favorite!! The cheesecake looked wonderful. Your food looked scrumptious, are the mashed potatoes made with real potatoes? Thanks for the great review!!
Yes, the mashed potatoes were absolutely real. They even had a few clumps in them. But they were as good as any I've had in any southern style cooking restaurant.
I guess. It was our children that informed us of that little gem. I sure never had looked at it that way. I remember after they told us that and complained about going that night, we got there, and there were all kinds of other kids their age in there with their families. I made sure and pointed that out to them.
Hey sweet friends! Hope you had a good time on your camping trip. I always loved this cafeteria, just hate that we don't have one here anymore. Which one do you like the best, K-W or this one with the fried chicken?
I think that's pretty much a toss-up, as their chicken is very similar. I love K&W, and I love J&S. The breading on the chicken at J&S might be just a little bit more crispy, which I do like.
Like everything a good cafeteria is great but a poor one can be really bad, similar to a buffet. Their potatoes and Mac and cheese looked great. Not a fan of pot pie. Good review as always don’t blame the kid I won’t not share my cheesecake either.
Yeah, but it was way too big of a piece for a 3 or 4 year old boy. He would have just as soon his brother have done without. J&S is really good as far as cafeterias go. The one we ate at the other week, was okay, but nowhere near on this level.
