In reality this place does not even deserve a half star. Horrible customer service. Then they don't know people ages. I asked the bounce man don't you know your age. He said we Idea everyone. I said I passed that age more than 2 decades ago. Then I get ginger Ale and refill 3 times. then my friend had an emergency so I had to leave early and that stupid bouncer comes after me no alcohol outside I said man this is ginger ale and at least 2 of the times that I got refill you were there and saw me getting refill. Don' t you know your drinks. Then Manager comes and he is even more stupid. I call the police on them because I did not want them to be aggressive. I told the officer do I look below 21. I am at least double that age. I don' t drink and I can't even drink. I came for the music. They said they don't want you on their property. I said I am not planning to stay and in fact I tell my friends not to come and the ones that perform not to perform here. These people are bad businessmen and don't care for their customers.

The bouncers are dicks. Kicked us out for cheering.
This place needs to be updated. Used to be an incredible experience back in the early to mid 2000s. Unfortunately these days it feels more average, if I were to rate my experience. Where did the same care go that used to be there years ago? :( such a shame
An incompetent staff followed by an equally incompetent and rude manager made this just an awful first and only experience at this establishment. What should have been a great date night was ruined by the staff here. Messed up drink order, menu items missing, losing our dinner ticket(which they lied about and just said they were busy), 40 minutes for one entree and almost an hour for a salad. On top of that, the manager was rude and disrespectful to my wife when she complained about it. Not charging us for this didnt even come close to making up for all of that.
Went to see Mike and Rusty. Promo on Facebook showed FREE! Got there and had to pay $25 pp! Seats are terrible, straight back. Freezing inside. Only thing on the menu was pizza, salad, fries. Mike and Rusty were wonderful, as usual. Hope we don't have to come back here to see them the next time they're up from Charlottesville!!
Scammin Java Yes you heard that right... scammin Java. That is the name that all my friends and I refer this location to. The reason being is that I went to purchase a ticket at one of jammin Java shows which was only supposed to be for one ticket($20 fees included) When I looked at my bank statement I got charged for two different payments of $20 tickets... so a total of $40! I called a majority of times during opening times but no one answered. So then I decided to write the general manager Lana an email explaining my situation... She told that it wasn t an accident and they did that on purpose, apparently if you want to get into a show you have to buy 2 tickets. So when you buy 1 ticket of your knowledge and second charge will happen without you knowing. Lana was nice(that I thought of) and told me she would refund me for both tickets... it has been 3 days now and she still hasn t refunded me the tickets. I emailed her twice and asked when she s going to refund me, but suddenly Lana has been real quite. So then I tried calling the store multiple times again(during opening hours) and no one is answering! Because of this incident, which hasn t only happened to me. A lot of my friends and I refuse to support this business. On top of that I m good friends with a lot of the local bands, and at the moment 3 bands that I am friends with are soon pulling out from their shows due to poor quality business, and I m sure more of them will be soon! Another 2 bands that I am friends with that have played here before have told me if they get contacted to play at this location, they are going to deny the offer. On top of that the food is way too expensive for its quality worth... I would rather eat a Chuck E Cheese pizza or order from Little Caesars that eat at Jammin Java!
Went there because I saw their window advertised breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Was told that they only served dinner at night. Disappointing.
Went there a few days ago to check it out and was met by a very rude employee. Said she was a manager but I cannot believe this place could be successful with an attitude like that. I would never ever visit this venue just based on her bizarre treatment.
Jammin' Java is allowing maskless live indoor performances as Virginia covid cases continue to rise. As a performer who hasn't played a show in over a year because I don't want to kill people, seeing this in the town I grew up in at the venue I played my first public gig at is pretty upsetting.
