Planning for the holidays? Let us do the cooking.

Welcome to J.R.’s Log House

J.R.'s first started serving great barbeque and breakfast in May 1983. However, our history goes back to when "J.R.," Jerry Romano, started cooking and serving pit-cooked barbeque as a teenager in his family's restaurant. The recipes we serve today have been handed down from grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Many were originally part of The Old Hickory House Restaurants, which were an Atlanta institution for more than 50 years. Along with our great barbeque, we cook a variety of fresh daily vegetables and serve breakfast 7 days a week with the biggest biscuits and pancakes you've ever seen. Today, you can still see some of the same employees here who helped us open our doors in 1983.

Meet Clara

Clara Shaw is the newest addition to the JR’s family. She is Tim Shaw's first grandchild, and the daughter of proud parents Jody and Katie Shaw. Right now, her only job is to look cute, which she does amazingly well. Clara looks forward to eating biscuits and chopped pork . . . as soon as she gets enough teeth.
