JAX Details
Jax cafe has been owned and operated by the Kozlak family since 1933. Joe and Gertrude laid the foundation for the next two generations to continue and improve on their original dream. Steaks are the specialty here but many of our loyal customers will swear we have the best seafood and lobster in town. Whatever your liking, you will find the menus to be extensive and all the items, decadent. All we ask is that you bring an appetite and we will make you feel like home. “ What dining out was meant to be!”
