JEDS (MAUMEE LOCATION) http://www.jedsbarbequeandbrew.com/

            I honestly don’t know where to begin with this one. This place breaks my heart in so many ways, but I will begin on a few positive notes.

 

            Let me start by saying how much I love Jeds’ freakballs! If you haven’t tried them before, I highly recommend them with an ice cold beer. Also, their menu is much better than the ho-hum competitors  like Ralphies or Frickers. But that’s not saying much since Toledo seems to be the mecca of mediocre sports bars.

 

Before Jeds busted on the scene in the mid 90’s, Frickers was the only real place to go to for beer and hot wings. Then Jeds arrived, exuding rebellion and finally some excitement, shaking shit up a little. But lack of real competition inhibits our desire to maintain and improve our own standards, and that’s what has happened to Jeds.

 

If you enjoy going to a place where most of the waitresses are somewhat homely, out of shape, and give you horrible service…this place is for you! If you enjoy sweaty overweight manager dudes staring at you from a distance while you eat…this place is for you! If you like old wobbly tables/chairs, outdated décor, and nasty bathrooms…this is place is for you!! And if you like hanging out with dirty contractor dongs at the bar (who quit early for the day just to drink the rest of the afternoon)…then this place is definitely for you!

 

Whoever runs this particular Jeds needs to bring some freakin life back into the place. They can start by giving the place a good scrubbing cuz it looks & smells as though the place hasn't been cleaned in years!! Then they should have all of their hostesses, waitresses, and bartenders stand in a single file line and pierce each one of them in the heart with a syringe full of adrenaline. Or better yet, find a new waiting staff all together. (For all you over-sensitive weirdoes out there-that first part was a joke.) This may come as a shock to you all, but attractive-friendly waitresses still bring in most business in places like this. And skimping on the quality of your bartenders is the biggest no-no of all! Some of these young girls look like they just rolled out of a hospital bed after giving birth. Then if they’re not checking their smart phone every two seconds, they’re shooting the shit with some old rusty regular. Umm, honey…a good tip from me would buy you almost a full tank of gas. I mean, doesn’t anyone want to make money anymore?? With that said, I simply give Jeds Maumee a very lame D- . If it weren’t for those tasty tasty Freakballs, Jeds wouldn’t even be worth reviewing at this point. Jeds! I hope you (& your waitresses) shape up real soon before its too late!
