Wj’s

Food was good, a local favorite, and the best place to eat in boonville. Service is not a professional attribute, which is fine, and adds to the family owned feel.

Came in on a search of local Unilocal places. Food was very good. Service was good. No complaints. My disappointment however is on portion size related to cost. I think for the price you should get more food or they should drop the price just saying…

This place was a nice surprise. We enjoyed the New Year’s eve menu was delicious. We enjoyed the scallops and the sweet and spicy ribs.

The «WJ’s Burger» was an almost spiritual event for me. If you’ve had the «Royal Red Robin» then you’re close to this but still not as good. The difference in quality and deliciousness would be akin to that of Outback Steakhouse as compared to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Both burgers are good, but the WJ’s Burger is HOLY CRAP good. I seriously held off on the final bite because I didn’t want it to end.
On the down side, to call the service slow would be like calling a hurricane windy. Nobody in my group ordered anything that should have justified the wait we experienced. Not everyone enjoyed their meal quite as much. The chicken on the Nachos was apparently questionable but the chicken sandwich got good review. I and one other person in our group of 7 got the WJ’s Burger and we both were enraptured. Nobody else seemed quite as impressed. So, if you’re looking for an almost life changing burger… do not pass go. Proceed directly here.

I found this place while on a business trip. The building is just off main street and easily passed. Watch for the neon in the windows. It was early when my guest and i arrived. While I’m outside the car waiting for her to park, a Mennonite carriage with 3 passengers in it flops by. It was surreal! They waved, I waved… it was special. So is the food at WJ’s. I’m sad I won’t be able to eat here regularly. The beef filet and au gratin potatoes were fabulous! I still think about the potatoes and wish I could make them… The desserts are homemade and the zebra cake was delicious. It was served in a small ball jar. I’ve ever seen one like it. Wish I could have gone back while in town.

Hmmm… wondering why my previous post was deleted. So, let me be clear… I have ate at this restaurant in the last month and I found it to be as disgustingly bad as some of the other restaurants in the area.
In fact, I have tried this restaurant several times and found the food to be rather inconsistent, service sort of mediocre, and the atmosphere to be too cramped and noisy to even hear myself think.
My burger so undercooked, that I am sure the health department wouldn’t recommend it and a server who simply shrugs her shoulders as if asking them to cook it was like asking for them to warm up cat food. Ditto, the salmon, which ranged from raw to dry. This place tries too hard to be something that it isn’t and the reviews that are on here are simply over-​rated. 5 stars? Maybe for Boonville, but that really isn’t saying much. This is a wannabe restaurant and pub, with subpar food and service and unfortunately a place for drunks to sit around and collectively congratulate themselves on trying to be the proverbial big fish in the small pond. I’ve been here more than a few times and it is always the same drunk people loudly extolling the latest small town gossip over subpar, over-​rated food.

The place was packed on a Friday night, so we sat outside as the summer sun went down. Good mixed drinks, generous portions, tasty salmon, attentive service. Good company, but you’ll have to bring your own. Hope to pass this way again.

It had been a year since I had been to WJ’s. It was just as good as I remember! I went by myself last time, this time I took 11 friends. The food was obviously chef-​prepared. We went without a reservation and the restaurant nailed it!
It is a very diverse menu, probably tough to coordinate in the kitchen but our group (to a person) was very impressed. The servings were very generous and the quality was excellent!

Don’t come aknockin’ when T’Pau is rockin’.

I ate here with my family last summer for the first time and was blown away. The front is a bar area, where they serve at least 5 speciatly beers on tap, plus full bar. After a couple brews, we were seated in the back which is a quiet dining area. The night I went the special was lamb chops, which had already sold out by 7 when we showed up, so they must’ve been killer. I ended up having the blackened pork chop that was the size of my palm! Besides the portion size it was hands-​down the best chop I’d ever eaten.

Love this place! Delicious Food and awesome service!
