BOTAK JONES® was born out of the idea that everyone should have access to well-made food of all types. Seeing a definite lack of availability of good, well made western food in the industrial and heartland areas, Botak Jones is trying to fill that need.

Went to Botak jones for dinner and as always the queue is long. My wife had fish and chips while I order their Botak Burger. And I would say the food was ok. Normal western food but the price was not. For a coffee shop food, its price was definitely not cheap. But its portion is large and I mean... REALLY LARGE. So for those small eater, 2 to 1 main dish should be good enough.
About the food, noththing much hype about that. Just that they serve different sauce in bottle for different food. And the best is for fish and chips, they have this malt vinegar which added a new dimension to the typical fish and chips I have had so far.
Service was so so and of course, ambience is not that condusive for a good dinning experience. I think I would prefer to go Cartel or swensen. :p

Been there almost 10 times already, each time I just feel like going back! However, i would say the standard of the food has dropped compared to when it just started. The service remained pretty good though.
I had my dinner there yesterday about 630pm, because I had a sudden craving for low price American food. Even though is was dinner time, the crowd seemed lesser than usual. I'm sure the number of people will be double on weekends.
Cajun Chicken Meal ($7.5) - Even though I've been to Botak Jones countless times, this is the 1st time i ordered Cajun Chicken for myself (previously tasted from other people who oredered). I also asked for extra fries, at no extra cost. The chicken tasted alright, would not say fantastic. The melted cheese on top of the chicken is good. The chicken did not turn out as dry as I expected though. Love the coleslaw. Definitely one of the best I have eaten. The fries was okay only because it was not hot. I presumed it was left there while the chicken was being cooked because it took very long to come.
Botak Burger w/o Cheese ($5.5) - My all time favourite, also clearly the reason why I kept returning to Botak Jones. My girlfriend wanted to order this which was why i did not order it and ate the Cajun Chicken instead. The beef patty is very nice. Succulent and juicy. The buttered bread went very well with it. Full of veggies as usual, gave the burger an added crunch.
All in all, the Botak Burger is still a must try. Also, i asked for additional fries for my Cajun Chicken Set so that I need not order a set for my girlfriend's Botak burger. Great for people who does not have big appetite and also to save some money. I believe I will return there, mainly for the Botak Burger.

If I give 4 stars, i dont think it is justifiable. Moreover, I only write that the botak burger

I've been there a few times since it's accessible as of now. The place used to be less crowded. The Egg mayo set sandwich is one of my favourite choice as it's generous with the egg mayo. The spicy fries have different taste of spiciness at different times. Not evenly mixed, I must say.
There was only once when my meal was served quite fast. Just within 5 minutes after I had placed my order. However, the fries were not well fried. That was the only time. Other times, the fries were well cooked.
Although the location looks hidden away, it's not that far from the train station if you are coming by train. Alighting from the bus is almost the same distance from the train too. Just a 10-minute walk.
