"J's Hideaway has moved to 20700 South Street, which is much larger. The're moving right up. We just love this place. Food and service awesome. And the decor is the best, who doesn't love our military and first responders."

"Nice little family diner. I had chicken fried steak, MAC & cheese, and veggies. The steak was obviously homemade and I mean that in a good way. Mac and cheese was very good also. The service was very good and they were very nice. Decent value for my meal."
