Excellent service from our wait staff, very thoughtful, considerate, proactive! The beers are nice and frosty! Best apps! Get the Jams Carnitas Jalapeños for appetizer, we enjoyed the chili and tortilla chicken soup. The best fish and chips for central valley and the sidewinder fries ! Their bathrooms were impeccable! Lol

Just had dinner here with my family. The food was hot and delicious. The cocktails were spot on. The staff are courteous and attentive. Definitely a 5 star review!

Dropped in for the first time around 5pm Was greeted by a nice waitress as soon as I entered Inside - Very nice & clean / interior cozy sports bar vibe Newly renovated. Very well done. outdoor - has plenty of seating area & with corn hole Nice place to hang out have drinks They have a big craft drinks menu and plenty of beers on tap - reasonably priced for craft , compared to most other bars Ordered the surf and turf burger to go Very delicious Great food. Great drinks & reasonably priced Nice local spot Check them out

I have nothing bad to say about Jams@209! The specials are a great deal, happy hour is awesome and the food... is great! Fast service, perfection! So much to choose from and did I mention that the food was great. Mondays kids eat free with an adult entree purchase! I was expecting typical "bar" food, but I was so pleasantly surprised. Just see the photos. I will be back FOR SURE!

Usually when I go, I take the family and we have a blast. Our favorite thing on the menu is the bacon wrapped stuffed carnita jalepenos. Usually we get burgers and lots of sides. It's always a great experience and the servers are kind.

I'm giving 5 stars for this one. The beer menu was really solid, with plenty of localish options. The food menu was probably a little large, but had some yummy stuff on it. I got the Cubano and it was pretty good. I also picked up a chicken sandwich, a Shrimp wrap and Linguica sandwich for some others. They reported back good things, with the Fried Chicken being a huge his with that person. The fries were also good, seasoned well and potatoey. Bit shout out to Ash and Gabby for being super friendly and making my visit super pleasant.

Wow ! The wings! They tasted delicious and they were HUGE !!!! Wing Wednesday half off , it was my first time here, the burger could feed two people ! It was was awesome, I will definitely be back . The menu is full of must try items. Very good food, big plates ( you will not leave hungry) , great staff .

JAMS is now one of my favorite restaurants in town! Love the appetizers, drinks, and music. Love coming on Tequila Tuesday and getting buy 1 shot, get 1 half off. Highly recommend the wings! The Voodoo Burger is so good and comes in a smoked dome! The Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail was smoked in a dome as well. Awesome presentation! Great place to watch sports. The outside patio is really nice. Everyone is so nice and service is fantastic. I also like visiting the Turlock and Los Banos locations!

Friendly, helpful staff. Relaxed ambience. Clean restrooms. AC functional on a hot day! We came to cool off and relax and very much enjoyed our visit! Get that SMOKED VooDoo Burger! 🍔

The service was great and so was the food. Not cheap, but not really overpriced. I'll be back. Update: So, this absolutely one of my two favorite places in town to go. Just about everything I've had is wonderful, and the service couldn't be better. However, I have tried three different pizzas here and am just not crazy about them. That's fine with me, I still have plenty of apps , sandwichs, and burgers to try.

Some of the best food I had in a while! Wings were bomb!

We’re never disappointed with our meals from Jams. We so appreciate that we can order food for pick up or delivery. The convenience of ordering online and having it delivered to our front door can’t be beat. Thank you for your great food and service. Atwater is lucky to have you in our community.

Can't seem to find a really good, reasonably priced Beef/Meat meal, or can't even remember what one tastes like? JAMS charges fairly for REALLY good quality hamburger, ribs and steak meals that are prepared in both classic and creative recipes. Finally!!!! I have a local "go-to" place for solid quality meat meals! YEAH!

The place was good. The service was great. I was told hamburgers were fresh and pattied. They are frozen patties. You can see that from the pictures. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Burger had good smoky flavor and onion rings. The wings were good, and shrimp Burger was good. It's a little pricey, but what isn't? Average $40 a person with drinks and one appetizer to share. But overall, it's a good experience unless you are like me and want a real fresh handmade patty hamburger. It's not the place for that. Oh, the carnita peppers with bacon are good as well.

The sidewinder fries and Vodoo burger puts this place on the map, followed by the chipotle dipping sauce. A great little joint for the hamburger itch. But steer away from the nachos. A paper plate would be more delicious.

I was craving a juicy burger and boy did I find one!! The menu had several delicious sounding burger offerings amongst other traditional dishes. I chose Jams version of a western burger. Big, thick Angus patty with beer battered onion rings and barbecue sauce on a beautiful bun that had their name "stamped" on it. The seasoned sidewinder fries were a perfect match. Washed it all down w/a citrusy IPA from Dustbowl. The waitress was super cool. She shared info on other offerings once I told her it was our 1st time there. We ate out in the patio. Nice ambiance with the music playing and TV's replaying sports.

4/13/25 Food - We were just here two days prior. This was a much better time. The food looked and tasted better bravo 👏🏾 we ordered bloody Mary's, which were delicious. I ordered the calamari appetizer, and my wife had a lenguica fajita style sandwich. Both were very good. Service - Our waitress was on it for the first half of our meal and then tailed off. Atmosphere - always a nice to hang inside or outside. We chose inside and were able to watch sports while the music out of the speakers were playing 80s videos. Tables and floors were clean.

My family and I have been coming to jams for a very long time and we’ve never had a problem. However, today was the worst experience we’ve ever had. Not only was our waitress Kilee very rude rolling her eyes at us when we said, she forgot our drinks but completely forgot about us. 20 minutes had passed, and we still had not gotten our drinks or even our orders placed. We had to walk up to the bar in order to get service. We noticed a couple outside, who was also completely forgotten about and waiting longer than my table. Our food was also put in wrong and forgot to add or take out veggies that we requested. Very disappointed, but the food was still good.

We had the worst service yesterday (between 4-5pm). I don’t know if the server was new or just in a mood but she was terrible. She took our order and forgot all about us. We had to wave her down for water refills. Ordered 2 appetizers. One came out with our food. She didn’t mention anything about the second so we asked. She said “oh they forgot to make it, it’s coming out right now”. We had all our food and no utensils or napkins. Again, we had to initiate basic service 101. She then put the utensils ON TOP of a side of ranch on the table. So 2 out of the four had ranch on them. The second appetizer was the green beans. She said “I had them hold the jalapeños” Why??! She also ordered the pico on the side for the nachos. All on her own because we DID NOT ASK for that. I like the beans spicy. So confused why someone would make those changes without asking. She also spilled the ranch all over the green beans. At the end we needed one box for the late appetizer. She brought the box open, holding the tab/money folder INSIDE THE BOX!! So unsanitary!! Just nasty. She said good night as she walked away rolling her eyes. We left the leftovers and for the first time EVER we didn’t tip. Possibly the worst experience with a server. The food was good though!! The only redeeming part of the night. Nachos 5/10. Would not order again. I’ve had way better. Green Beans 5/10 Bland because again no spice?? Normally these are 11/10 PB Burger 10/10 Quesadilla Burger 9/10 Shrimp Hawaiian Pizza 7/10. Interesting but would not order again. Kids Grilled Cheese- adults liked it, it was on a bun with yummy cheddar cheese. Kid hated it because kids are basic. She wanted sliced bread and American cheese. Just FYI, if your child is like mine and won’t eat anything thats slightly upgraded.

I recently had a terrible experience with Angela, she was rude and condescending to both myself and my friend. I heard her giggling about my bald head to her coworker next to the restrooms. Very unprofessional behavior and I don’t appreciate the clear disrespect that I have gotten from her. I’m sure I’m not the only customer that has had a similar experience with her. I’m just sharing my story so other people will know to stay away from this bar and place of business.
