Review J J Morgan Family Restaurant - Victoria

M
A wonderful family eatery with moderate food prices. This place should be compared in the light of what it is - an old eatery serving decent food with a big menu targeting a family or seniors clientele. It is what it is - and there are many of these types of restaurants across Canada and the US, nothing fancy, nothing original but you can get a decent sized portion meal at a good price in a diner atmosphere. No pretentious people here, just older friendly servers ready to bring you what you want. I hope these places never die and we are stuck with only glitzy gimmicks and food that was only made to look at. Simple is sometimes all you want - and definitely all you need. M

relaxing atmosphere. Best price and great food.

This place is fantastic! Delicious food, friendly staff, and good prices. The Sunday brunch was well worth the $20 price tag. As a semi-regular visitor to Victoria, I can't help but wonder: why didn't it occur to me to eat here sooner? I remember seeing it from the road many times. I encourage everybody to eat here.

Very nice family restaurant. We went for the Sunday brunch with about 15 folks from our church. The food was good. The beets could use some help. Nice dessert selection. Yummy trifle. The staff were keen to see we had an enjoyable time.

The brunch on Sunday was fresh and plentiful even though we arrived a half hour before it ended. There was a selection of salad, fruit, breakfast items and also roast, scalloped potatoes and gravy. There was also a large dessert table and vanilla ice cream. You won't leave hungry.

At first I thought this place was terrible. The decor looked like a low budget restaurant set from the 70's; the decorations appeared to be obscure leftovers from the local pawn shop that nobody else would purchase. There was an excessive amount of choices at the buffet, but they were all either very plain, or overcooked. I wondered why this restaurant was so packed, but then I looked around at the customers, and it dawned on me. The restaurant was a sea of yellowing skin and white hair. For people in my demographic (<80 y/o), this restaurant is very mediocre, but it's positioned absolutely perfectly in every regard to appeal to really old people. I don't like this restaurant, but I can respect a well positioned business that knows exactly who it is trying to please, and has subseqeuntly shaped the entire customer experience to appeal to their target demographic. My grandma loved it.

J.J Morgan's is one of our favourite Victoria restaurants which has been serving delicious food for over 30 years. They have a great selection of snacks, entrees and deserts at very reasonable prices. Their daily dinner special is popular with locals. Schnitzel is a favourite of ours, as well as the Sunday buffet. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and homelike. Located on the south side of University Heights Mall, parking is plentiful and free.

My wife and I ate lunch there today (Nov. 17, 2014). The Beef Pot Pie was excellent - the best I have ever had there and the Caesar Salad that came with it was very good! My wife's Bacon and Mushroom Quiche was very good too! The service was good as always - feels like home. Well done!

Stale Toast. Was having breakfast on a Saturday morning there and as I went to put some jam on my toast I noticed it was like a piece of plywood.Explained to server who in turn seemed insulted but could have offered me something else and appolagized but I think he's got some issues.Spoke to a fellow at the front desk who seemed like a manager and who also could have cared less.I thought the lack of professionalism was apolling .i wasn't looking for a free meal for gods sake just don't treat people like jerks

A Wonderful Lunch. Two of us had lunch there today. We very much enjoyed their great Beef Pot Pie and their Bacon and Mushroom Quiche! One was served with a Garden Salad and the other with a Caesar Salad - both freshly made using fresh ingredients with crispness where it should be for maximum taste. The good service was provided by a very pleasant staff who made us feel right at home! Our experience here was and is well worth repeating!!

JJ Morgans: a friendly, family-owned restaurant. Love this place. Try one of the pot pies. Delish!

JJ Morgans is one of the last good home stow cookin joints where the owners are Asians and everyone knows Asians can cook. I wouldn't be surprised if they threw in a little msg to make the chicken more tender but hey it works! My waitress was a haggered woman very wise whose sole purpose was to refill my coffee when needed and feed me, the kinda woman that calls you sweetie would've once brought you to your knees in her prime. Get the chicken deep dish pot pie and be prepared to enjoy a meal amongst quiet sharply dressed seniors.

Much nicer on the inside than it appears on the outside. Good family restaurant, good value. Regular "American" food. Good for kids and seniors.

Love the brunch deal. We often came here for the brunch deal. Its very affordable and the food taste good as well!. If you eat a lot, then I recommend!

We went for the first time tonight with our two little kids. The service was fabulous and everyone was lovely to the kiddos (who were the only ones there). The food was food enough but the service and ambience as fabulous. I will go back with friends and family and recommend it to anyone for an inexpensive, simple meal with great service.

Went there for my birthday dinner tonight and we were very pleased with the service, the menu selection and the taste, quantity and quality of the food served. Received their VIP card and appropriate discount. We will be back again soon.

Friendly as always. I like going to breakfast here with my knitting club on the weekends. Always friendly service, and free refills!

The food prices were fair, and the food quality was average. It is the decor and overall cleanliness of the restaurant that will spoil your appetite . Avoid this place!

A Sunday Buffet for under $15!?!?!? For the ridiculously low price, it's pretty decent. It has all the fixin's that you're looking for. The quality is fair, but by no means amazing, but let's be fair for under $15 it's amazing. Most brunch buffet's are now selling for $25 on the very low end and $30 is more realistic. This is a perfect brunch buffet for kids! They charge only $1per year! If you're going on a date, this might not be the right place, but for a fair meal with the family, I would recommend it!

Good Priced Homestyle Food.. The breakfasts and lunches are all easily affordable for anyone, (including students), and tastes just like mama makes it! or grandma if you are so inclined. I have been there multiple times and have never had a bad meal nor has anyone ive been, and nearly everything is priced well below $10!<br/>the Sunday buffet is busy and a cool idea. Some things are good, and other items are not, but thats a buffet for ya! Good place and good service! lots of coffee rounds by the waitresses!

Good food at affordable prices.... Had Canadian Thanksgiving turkey dinner here with my mom and we thought it was tasty, well-prepared and good value.<br/><br/>Also had the Sunday brunch sometime ago and was pleasantly surprised at the varied selection, but I was really into the pancakes, bacon and syrup. Mmmm!<br/><br/>The wine selection is also better than most restaurants with good info on what wine goes with what food. Affordable prices here too.

GREAT SERVICE. My family went out for a dinner and invited us. I asked,"Brannigans?" they answered, "No" a plavce thats way cheaper. So we went to JJ morgans. We got the 2 egg breakfast and an 1 egg. The one egg breakfast was only 4.95 for egg, 2 sausages, potatoes and toast. The portions were satifiying, the waitor was very nice. Gave my sister's son a colouring sheet like always. And jokes. Nice way to start off your morning.

Four of us here today, and we all enjoyed our meals, with excellent friendly service, at a very reasonable price! We will certainly come back and recommend to our friends.

Great food for the price. We went to JJ Morgans for lunch. The prices are super reasonable so that is why there are so many pensioners there. But hey, pensioners have time to shop around to stretch a dollar and they dine here for a reason. The generous plates are under $10.<br/>Service was fast even though it was noon and the restaurant was nearly full.<br/>I had the oyster burger and it was yum. Not very many places make the oyster burger so I was pleased to be able to try it. The side I choose was the caesar salad. <br/>The caesar dressing is made in house, and if you love your garlic like I do, it is the best. Check out the bacon bits (or should I say chunks). Highly recommended.

Great diner.. I held off trying J J Morgan's for a few years. Finally the wife insisted we go, I caved, and boy am I glad I did. Hands down some of the best diner food I've had in years. Service is very friendly and attentive. The largest chicken fingers I've ever seen and teh roast beef melts in your mouth.

Excellent service. Very friendly and attentive staff and prices you won't find anywhere else. It's full of seniors but that just makes for a nice quiet meal.
Greg Strong
A kid friendly place. Service is good.

I have been eating at J Morgans for over sixteen years. Friendly service and excellent natchoes.

Food and ambience = cafeteria style.. Nothing really good about this place. Food is boring and not of a very good quality. In my opinion not worth your money.
