text: This is in the old Famous Sams location I guess it has a new name now I had to break my no spending money in Mesa policy but only because it was my moms birthday and she lives there I had read in the paper that JJ Madisons had just opened so we decided to check it out JJ Madisons is a sports bar and has everything you would expect tons of flat screen tvs with a football game playing pool tables decent happy hour beer prices overweight suburbanites arcade games a spot for a band and a menu full of many delicious options The server was friendly and amiable she joked with me like we were good chums but not in that phony annoying way I had a tough time choosing what to get but settled on the Philly It was stuffed with delicious meat and grilled onions All their bread comes from a local bakery in Tempe too I never went to the Famous Sams that used to be here so I am not sure if it is the same stuff with a new look I do not usually like sports bars but I would go back here
