FRIENDS JEFFERSON GRILL

Great food and service, would be a regular if I lived in the area. 10/10 trash talk nachos, mozzarella sticks and sriracha chicken sandwich were delicious!

Great burgers!! Philly is good, too. The home made salt & vinegar chips are so so good! Prices are reasonable & staff are super friendly. Always clean inside & out, bathrooms as well. This location is my favorite.

Thank you Ms. COURTNEY for the great customer service. The food was absolutely delicious. The decor on the walls, table and ceiling were very cool and creative. Courtney gave some great recommendations and was very friendly and attentive with our family.

I didn’t like the charge for using my credit card. The pasta salad I was charged, but I thought it came with my meal. It was just a misunderstanding and Courtney offered to fix it. But I just paid for it. The other thing was the substitution from fries to onion rings was a dollar twenty nine upcharge when the onion rings are only one dollar higher in price.
Nonetheless the atmosphere was amazing. The owners have their story about how they got started on the dessert menu and it is a very pleasant read. Awesome story. We ordered fries, onion rings, wings, pasta, club sandwich, pmbj burger and the trifecta burger. Dessert was yummy as well. We ordered the fried cheese cake. Everything was tasteful and fresh.
So many other items we wanted to try, but will save for our next visit

Really busy but our server was great and took great care of us. Food was delicious

Dropped in last week for lunch with a friend, and it was an awesome experience. We'll definitely be back! :)

I got the pimento cheese wontons, and they were incredible! Such a fun mashup of flavors! I'll be getting those again for sure. I also got the grilled pear wedge salad, which was excellent! I don't think I'd change anything about my order, and I'd recommend it all! My friend got the boneless wings, plain, and got several sauces on the side. She said it was all good, and especially praised the tenderness of the chicken and the flavor of the BBQ sauce.

Our waitress, Kenzie, was a joy! She kept saying it was an off day for her, but we thought she was excellent. :)

The parking situation is frustrating and confusing, but there's plenty of parking around this place if you don't mind looking around for it. They don't seem to have their own parking lot, though, so get creative and bring and umbrella if it looks like rain - you'll be walking at least a little bit.

As for the atmosphere, the place is decked out in tons of colors like a fun sports pub, but instead of it being sport-specific, it's often just a lot of colorful and silly references or jokes. I appreciated how eclectic it was. As an aside, not all the jokes printed on the tables are 100% kid-appropriate. The only thing that was unpleasant was that in the late afternoon, it got extremely hot in there. I'm really cold natured, but we were both sweating, and I'm not sure if their AC was acting up or if that's normal there.

Over all, I'd recommend this place. The service was great, they weren't overly crowded or deserted, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. I sent pictures of my food to people for the next few days. Lol.

*Note: To anyone following me for gluten-free food reviews, this place doesn't seem particularly gluten-free friendly, but I don't have to eat gluten-free when my husband isn't around, so I didn't check. I'll update if I ask questions in the future!

We had a great lunch with really good service. We will definitely go back because there were so many delicious items on the menu that we didn't get to try.
Loved it.

I had the burger "Mushroom Provolone Hottie" with beyond meat patty and as a side some broccoli. The food was very delicious and also the service was very friendly.
It was my 2nd time here at the Friends restaurant and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Thank you! :)

Whole vibe of the restaurant was amazing. Our bartender was great, I think her name was rebekka. We will be coming back just for her.

Friends Jefferson is out of the way for us, but we make it a point to keep returning. They're the only restaurant south of the Mason-Dixon that can make a proper Philly cheesesteak. Their smoked wings come out hot and with the right amount of crispiness each time.

Good food! Good beer! Nice options at a nice price. Great vibe, little bit sports bar little bit quirky. Burgers are where it’s at here. Always a good game on the TV’s.

The food was great as usual, and the service couldn't have been better. Our server, Shawn, was friendly, attentive and had some great suggestions. Really fun Sunday lunch!

We've loved the Friends restaurant ever since we first went to the one in Winder. We were so glad when they came to Jefferson and were a lot closer. They make pretty decent food here in a laid-back relaxing atmosphere. They offer Angus beef and Bison for burgers Etc. They have a wide variety of foods on their menu. Their french fries are super good. They also have a full bar and a little game room in the front to play games while you wait for your table. The first time we went to the one in Jefferson the staff were all very friendly! Oh, they were pretty crowded being it was a Friday night and they are new to Jefferson. Also there is not a lot of restaurants in Jefferson to choose from so they can be quite crowded for that reason as well. It was a little tight in the restaurant and much smaller than the one in Winder. There is parking on the side as well as in the back of the restaurant. Also they are opening up another gravel parking lot just down past the restaurant. The manager was really cool and the staff including our server were very helpful and polite. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean as well.

Stopped here on the way home from shopping the outlets. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a spicy bloody Mary with some wings and fries.

No pics but the food and drink were fantastic! I do wish there were a few more fries, but the wings were a decent size and the temperature was perfect for immediate consumption.

My server/bar tender....I wish I could remember her name!! She was attentive, but not overly so. She and I chatted and I thoroughly enjoyed the short time I spent there.

Also, I've been to other Friends locations but LOVE the decor and walls in this particular spot...a good chill vibe spot!!✌🏼

Fantastic local eatery, don't let their being multiple locations fool dissuade you from stopping in for a bite. It told me that hand over fist the owners and employees were consistently doing something right. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the prices and portion sizes hit the sweet spots for someone new to the area looking to get a feel for the local flavor.

Wonderful place to eat. Different special each day. My favorite Wednesday with but one get one Wings. And the Fried Cheese cake was out of this world!!! And Angie's great waitress you can't go wrong with. Will be back!

I love the food, atmosphere and the Awesome bartender Rebecca… She is so friendly and great at what she does…

Food was quick, hot, and good. Mandy P was a great server! She took time to answer our questions, and checked on us frequently.

My husband and I frequent Friends on wednesday for wing night. 2 for 1. There wings are delicious. Service is always excellent. Yum Yum! ooga booga! 😎

We came late at night, and we got the Tuesday deal that is supposed to only be dine in, but we got it to go. Our server was amazing!

Fantastic locally owned restaurant. Great small town eating with world class service. Was well worth the trip off of the interstate.
