"We're traveling through town to visit the mines & waterfalls. Our hotel had a list of restaurants to try in town & Jaxon's was on that list. We had cheese sticks & a medium pizza. The pizza was pretty good, not the best I've ever had, but not the worst either. They had a pretty good menu of things to try. 10/29/22"

"Small town vibes. I am visiting from out of town, and I would assume this to be the type of place everyone goes to after the local high school football game. My friend and I shared the smokehouse fries, and it was very good but lacking in fries, ironically. I also had cheerwine from the drink fountain. It was a very affordable lunch."
