Instantly when walking into JJ Beard's Pub & Pizza i was greeted with the welcoming, rustic atmosphere someone comes to crave of this kind of establishment, drawing you into a warm, safe comforts of an era long past.
The sense of Nostalgia is feel sitting in the booth seats, the sounds and songs of my childhood loud and proud on display for all to hear and see fills me with a sense of home and comfort that is something that this guide, for many years has missed in the establishments of the big city.
The loaded fries were delightfully creamy and rich, complimenting the spicy flavors of the jalapeños and the rich smoky taste of the bacon and cheese quiet well, and the Lemon pepper dry rub wings have a savory flavor that rivals the taste of wingstop and a fraction of the price!
The pizza, which you can get made to your exact specifications had the perfect blend of cheese, toppings, and was baked to perfection, invoking memories of my teenage years in Safford Arizona, and the custom pies made there as well. The chef behind the scenes a master of their craft in preparation and presentation.
In closing: JJ Beard's Pub & Pizza is the go-to establishment on Westside for your dinner and entertainment, with new specials and events on the nightly? You'll never be short of new, tasty...

After maybe 10 min we finally were greeted by our waitress. Ordered 2 waters and 1 V6. I also gave the waitress two dollars to get quarters for the pool table.

She asked if I wanted my two dollars back since I never received the quarters that I asked for when we ordered our food and drinks. I told her yes and that I wanted her to cancel my order because it had been 40 minutes from the time we got there and still our food had not even started yet. They were busy but not a packed house by no means. Maybe a little over half full. I get we have Collin orders as well but if you can't get someone's food out after 40 minutes then there's a problem. I gave the food zero stars because we never received any food. It was a real bummer because I've been really excited to try it out since it's...
Read moreI think the most disappointing part of the pizza was the lack of actual corned beef on the pizza. Multiple slices of pizza had just once piece of corned beef probably the length of a fingertip. It was incredibly underwhelming. Some slices had huge air bubbles that where it was just all crust and no sauerkraut or sauce. Out of the eight slices, there were maybe three slices that were salvageable enough to be considered a Reuben pizza.
Because this was a soft opening, there were employees going around asking for feedback. I shared exactly what I just typed above with two employees; one who said she would share it with the kitchen and another person who said, “Well Reuben pizzas aren’t for everybody.” I’m not sure if he was understanding what I was trying to convey...
