JJ’s introduces a $5 Happy Hour food
JJ’s Texas Coast needed a way to lure in more business, and JJ says she’s found it. A $5 Happy Hour small plates menu.
“We’ve lost our walk-in traffic from visitors who would see us from the ferry since the park construction and fence have blocked us from view, so I needed to find a way to get more traffic,” JJ tells us. “I figured everybody is already doing Happy Hour drinks, so I came up with Happy Hour food and it’s been very popular.”
So what do you get for $5? Nachos, hot & spicy wings, veggie burger, potato skins, chilly, chicken wrap, Mexican pizza, peel and eat shrimp, mozzarella sticks, or crispy tacos…just to name a few. The peel and eat shrimp and potato skins have been the biggest hits.
She also says she’ll keep the $5 Happy Hour menu, even after the park renovations are done.
Locals and regular visitors still know where to find JJ’s, and when you do, here’s your new view. Hey, you get to see what they’re doing. Consider it a dinner theater!

Pretty soon Happy Hour at JJs will be less expensive than a gallon of gas:o(

JJ’s crispy tacos (and a Red Stripe or 2). Is there any reason not to sit there…and stay for a long, relaxing spell?
