" Just Janice is a fantastic place for brunch, but I must admit, I've had better experiences. On my last visit, the food was good, but I expected a bit more in terms of creativity on the menu. The pancakes were fluffy, but not a standout for me. The server was friendly but appeared overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. Despite that, I loved the atmosphere; it was lively and filled with chatter. I’m still glad I went and look forward to my next visit to see if they can knock it out of the park. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just Janice truly outdid itself with our dinner last week! Every dish was delicious, particularly the soft-shell crabs we had as a special. They were cooked to perfection and kept the flavors intact. The service was prompt and attentive. The restaurant’s cozy décor created a relaxed vibe where we could enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. I cannot recommend this place enough! I will definitely be returning for brunch to see what else they have to offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Just Janice with high hopes based on all the reviews I've read, but my experience was just decent. The staff was friendly, but our service was slow, which dampened the atmosphere at our table. The food was okay—had the famous burger, but it didn't live up to the hype. While the atmosphere was pleasant, I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" While my first visit to Just Janice wasn’t necessarily bad, it wasn’t the best either. I found the food to be decent, but I was expecting something more in terms of authenticity; it felt more like a typical diner rather than something unique. The service, while friendly, tended to be a bit slow during peak hours. I can see the appeal for regulars, but I think it might be a hit-or-miss for newcomers like myself. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just Janice has a rustic charm that captures the essence of a warm and welcoming neighborhood diner, but I found the food to be more average than authentic. I tried their burger, which was good but not anything remarkable. It didn't taste homemade or special, but rather like something I could prepare at home. On top of that, the service felt slow, maybe because they were understaffed that day. I think it’s worth a visit, but I wouldn’t make it my first choice in a busy culinary scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Just Janice surpassed all my expectations! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and treated like family. Our server was enthusiastic and genuinely cared about our experience. We shared the breakfast risotto and the spicy egg sandwich—and both dishes were phenomenal! Each bite was bursting with flavor and made with such high-quality ingredients. The portions were just right—enough to leave us satisfied without overdoing it. The ambiance allowed for lovely family conversation without feeling crammed. I can't wait to return; this has definitely become one of my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll just say it: the fish tacos at this place are fantastic! I was very impressed by their freshness and the portion size worked perfectly for me. They were bursting with flavor and the sides complemented the main dish wonderfully. The ambiance is vibrant, and I love how the staff seems genuinely happy to be working there, which adds to the experience. I would recommend this spot to anyone simply for the tacos!
