There are better places in Charlotte for lunch...

Food is good, don't get me wrong but if you want to be served by rude person at the cash register this is right place for you. Choice is yours.

Good experience, Great Service, Huge burrito, Good Quality overall

by photowilder

I spent around 7.50 or 8.00 for a massively loaded chicken burrito and coke. The guy behind the counter (maybe it was Johnny himself?) was really nice and explained how to order and recommended certain items to put in my burrito. There were several different types of salsa and 10+ different types of mild to hot sauces available on the side or to be placed in the burrito. The guy behind the counter recommended a chipotle sauce that was really good, I think they make it themselves. Anyway, the burrito was huge and I can't believe they were able to wrap it. There is a faxable form on their website that will save you waiting in line so the food can be had rather quickly. As for the burrito itself, very good with fresh ingredients.I tried Phat Burrito the previous day and I'd have to say JB beats out Phat burrito in terms of quantity and quality of food, specifically JB was more flavorful and had fresher ingredients. The burrito I received still could have used a little more spice to it, next time I'll get the sauce inside the burrito and I think it would be a perfect blend out the door. I really felt welcome there, and around 1:30 or 2:00 I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Lastly, I typically think of burritos as being extremely messy and getting all over my tie and shirt but this burrito was so well wrapped that I didn't have to worry about it. Good experience overall.

• Pros: Good Service, Fast, Quality and Quantity of food

Mixed Feelings

by dlwilson007

First of all, I agree that you get a ton of food, and that it is good. However, I've eaten at JB and also at Salsarita's downtown, and while the flavor at JB is good, it doesn't always taste quite as fresh. And I do agree that the owner can be pretty rude if you don't play exactly by his rules. When you do, he is very friendly. When you don't, he comes close to turning into the "soup-nazi" from Seinfeld (if you don't watch Seinfeld, don't worry...it's not really as bad as it sounds).

Overall, I say the service is mediocre, the food is good but not great, but you will be full in the end!

• Pros: Plenty of food!
• Cons: Service, but only if you don't play by his rules (which you learn the hard way)
