If you are eating you get looked after, but if you just want a drink they don’t want to know, rude on arrival and moved around the place as they have no where for you to sit. Avoid at all costs unless you’re booking for food.

We were placed in the conservatory because we had 3 dogs with us. There is artificial turf on the floor which was soaked thru. The dogs would not settle, their leads were soaking as they were attached to dogs. The gift bags which were in the floor were unusable as they soaked up the water. Coat left on back of chair which draped on the floor had wet hem. My feet were so cold as it felt like I was standing in a puddle. Felt the evening was ruined.

We enjoyed jjs, unfortunately didn't quite live up to the hype. We thought the food was mediocre, nothing to scream about although the salad was better than most, our burgers were too well done for our liking. The live music was good and the cocktails 2 for £15.00 were good value.

Very very disappointing. The beef burger was fine, as was the scampi. Unfortunately, the chicken burger tasted as if it had been fried in the fish basket. It was disgusting. The service was slow, and “could not care less” attitude. I will not be back, and I will encourage others to go to the Coal Exchange or the Blue Bell.

Wow. From the outside, this looks like a coffee shop. Venture in and you're in a magical world. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cooked perfectly. Upstairs is an elegant restaurant that you'll be proud to take family and friends to. Out the back is a cracking sun terrace. Downstairs is where the magic can happen. The whole bar is just one class. High and low seats. Even old cinema seats. You will not be disappointed.

I came here a few months ago for breakfast and to this day it lives rent free in my head. The atmosphere and rude manager was giving bad vibes, felt like I was stepping on eggshells the whole time whilst she was barking out orders to her young staff. Compliments to the chef for our breakfast, however I’m never coming back as I would have rather sat in bed and had a slice of toast than to be sat near the till whilst 50 tradesman were having their orders messed up.

We were recommended to come here by a friend to have the "amazing roast platter". On arrival we were abruptly told "we don't do that anymore". We ordered our drinks. The food order was then taken. One drink arrived and then the food. The second drink had been forgotten. No apology, no explanation. In summary, the food was tasty but average, the service was very under par.

Delicious food and a good range of well thought out dishes to suit a wide range of preferences. We were made welcome, including the dog in our party and received good service, but never intrusive. JJ’s has a very individual style and atmosphere which feels a bit escapist and definitely stands out in the middle of Emsworth. Previously only been in for coffees, but now we have tried the lunch menu, we will be back to try breakfast and maybe a cocktail!

Quite Easily the best restaurant in Emsworth. Trust me on this, we are foodies. First time to Emsworth, we made the mistake of having dinner at the place next door. JJ's is the place we should have eaten, and will always choose from now on. Great service, beautifully crafted menu, coffee, tea, liqueurs, cakes etc. The staff are lovely and make the experience all the more memorable.

Banana split has the toffee back on. Mum had Eaton mess which was a mountain. Excellent 👍 Thought I'd posted this. Been today. Still great food and great service. This time banana split is just banana banoffi something with the crispy toffee with just ice-cream. Nice but not a touch on the old banana split with the fruit etc. mum enjoyed Eaton mess again

Came for Sunday lunch with the 4 of the children and husband today. Absolutely gorgeous food, can't fault a single thing. Incredibly tasty, large portions and presentation is second to none. Great wine list and cocktails. And the staff are beyond friendly, helpful and there are lots of them, something a lot of places are lacking. Stunning inside and out. We will definitely be back in the very near future.

I love this place and despite the gushing chummy welcome from the authoritarian lady on the laptop, I would recommend it to anyone whether you want a drink, meal or just a nice latté. I always come here when I pop into lovely Emsworth. The staff are friendly and efficient and the place seems to be run with military precision (probably under the watchful eye of laptop lady!). The interior is as flamboyant as the outside and offers various cosy eating environments as well as a well stocked bar and even a little courtyard for us afficiados of the tobacco.. I think (haven't tested that yet!). Plenty of parking nearby and the harbour is just a hundred yards or so away.

Wish I’d checked the trip advisor reviews first as I wouldn’t have bothered and won’t bother coming again. Roast was a disappointment. It came very quick which was a surprise as it was so busy but it was very lacking. The meat seemed to be steamed so the chicken was very wet and the pork was rubber and the fat was urgh. The biggest letdown is hygiene. We were sat upstairs and the place was filthy. Don’t look at the windows as it’s just pure dirt and cobwebs… was very off-putting. It also looked very tired and needs to close For the day or something to clean and freshen up the look as clearly from trip advisor others have the same comments.

Booked for Saturday night which is a reduced menu but was disappointed that although we arrived at 7:30, they had already run out of some food. Felt the menu was quite limited. The food we had was very nice and our waitress was very friendly however we had two occasions where our drinks were forgotten. There was also a weird situation where the bathroom taps were giving out boiling hot water and although we made the manager aware, there still seemed to be people coming out of the toilets complaining. After dinner we went downstairs for drinks and the atmosphere and singer were really good. The place has huge potential so this could have just been an off night

The little old man that welcomed us to our table was incredibly rude to us. We felt bad about asking for any drinks as he made us feel like we were causing him undue stress. He referred to me as a ‘morin’ when I asked if the mushroom risottto was vegan. I can’t say I want to go back. I hope that little old man in his pink shirt finds happiness one day.

Also, a weldone and thanks to all the lovely ladies that gave up part of their day to work and make ours amazing. The table was kept clean and tidy, especially as we opened Christmas presents too. If I'd of wanted anything else, a mince pie with ☕️ coffee would have finish me off. Would HIGHLY recommend for lny meal.

Owner/main manager was incredibly rude to me and my family. Said children under 12 weren’t allowed in after 6 (why not tell us as we got there at 5:50?) and showed another family in just after this. They were allowed to stay but not us!! Told her about a broken seat that could be a real hazard and was told it slides out very bluntly Well the huge screw poking out proves otherwise. If you have the high seats next to the toilet area beware as you may fall down a massive hole and have a pointing up screw as added danger. I used to come here every Sunday as a regular of emsworth however don’t think I’ll bother. Unfortunately this member of staff had also ruined other places in the area when they ran it. Only good thing about my experience tonight was the other young staff who were amazing. Owner/manager needs to take a lesson from her younger staff. They were kind, welcoming and they are the saving grace of JJ’s.

We popped in here by chance today. Good timing as 15 minutes later we wouldn’t have got a table. Seems a very popular place. The menu is huge, especially for the amount of fish on the menu. This can’t be fresh in (maybe only the fish dish of the day). Our beetroot gravlax was nice but had either seen better days or had food colouring added. We’ve ordered this many times elsewhere and although it was edible but wasn’t 100%. The small fish and chips were nice, lots of batter which isn’t to everyone’s taste. The tartar was questionable, poor quality Mayo and only Gerkins. Having said that if we were in the area we would go back.
