"First I want to say I have been to the Jar with members of my family several times and I really love it. Great food and staff. I would have given 5 stars except for the fact that there is only 1 "regular height" table and chairs. We go early around 3 to hopefully get that 1 table. However this past week when I arrived it was already taken. I noticed that the people were eating and didn't think they would be too long. So I attempted to get on one of the high chairs at the table behind them so i could get the regular table when they left. I am in my 70's and not as limber as I used to be so it was difficult but I finally succeeded. At one point I almost slid off the chair or stool. It was uncomfortable waiting there and no way would I have attempted to actually eat at that table. Anyway they left after a while and I got the table and waited for others to arrive. All of this being said I am hoping you would consider a few more low tables for those of us who cannot sit on those high stools but still like to have wings and good food and a beer. I also witnessed the unfortunate incident of a toddler upsetting a high stool he was sitting on with his family and falling to the hard floor with the stool on top of him. That was frightening. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you for responding. Also sorry if I mistakenly thought the child fell off the stool. But at one point I did see him on the stool and that is why I thought he fell. Looking forward to visiting your establishment in the near future."

"Cool little "hole in the wall" bar and grill. The stuffed Hungarian Wax peppers and the wings with their signature bottom of the jar sauce were fantastic! The bartender was funny and awesome to talk to and yiu never had to ask for anything. Check this place out if you're in the area!"

"Was recommended from several people so while in the area we checked it out! Wings amazing , perfectly cooked , got a salad with the BOJ sauce and I loved it ! Homemade Ranch so good, my boyfriend got a foot long it had so much on it and was amazing! Reasonable food prices! Not a fan of the pepperoni rolls that are deep fried , but that honestly was it! Had a true bar atmosphere! True bar food ! Not pricey at all! And I really liked the service! Would return for sure!"

"Oh man, what a gem! We were on the road late and were lucky to stumble on this place. Great brisket, good beers and the friendliest people anywhere. Totally recommended!"

"We ordered from Grubhub. Very very yum. The wings for me were the best! The hot garlic Parmesan and the Bottom of The Jar wing are a must. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich is good, a lil sweeter then expected. The Beer Battered fries don't do well with take out, very soggy by the time we got them."
