We always enjoy stopping over in Clarinda for J's. The owners are a wonderful, friendly family & their food is always just what we'd want! Our kiddos love their spaghetti & other family members love their pizza. There are always good menu options for everyone & we have yet to have any bad service.

Awesome little friendly restaurant in quaint downtown Clarinda, IA. Was not craving pizza so I went with the grilled chicken. It was very well prepared and came with a wonderful side salad. Cheap 3 Miller Lite, too!

Everything was amazing. The food, The service, and even the look. Pizza cheese came off way too easy but I genuinely couldn’t get past how good the food was to even complain. Well kept place.
