Jilly's owners have created a clean and contemporary layout featuring bar, pool and game area, together with open dining and booth dining sections. The sports motif begins right at the entrance, with giant black-and-white blown-up photography of American sports legends of the twentieth century filling the walls. Inside, the emphasis is on a clean and sleek look with butcher block light woods and metallic surfaces, subdued techno lighting over the dining areas and black and red tones in the furnishings. You can either dine in the open floor space adjacent to the bar, outside on the patio, or in one of the nine individual dining booths, which are equipped with their own TV for a private sports viewing occasion. You can also view the monitors from the centrally placed bar location while choosing from the extensive lunch menu. Altogether, the restaurant has 45 televisions positioned throughout its interior, along with a full-time deejay monitoring operations from an audio-video booth. Weekends and evenings also see a lot of the younger crowd taking advantage of the pool area. There is also a dance floor in a back room section on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights after 11 p.m. with a live deejay and a selection of 70’s, 80’s and 90’s favorites.
With its menu for both lunchtime, dinner and takeout dining, Jilly’s reflects a blend of traditional sports fare and more sophisticated culinary adventure. The lunchtime menu, for instance, offers Prime Rib Splitters, featuring shaved prime rib with grilled onions and Muenster cheese, served with cracked pepper au jus and creamed horseradish, for those who enjoy a well-turned out beef plate, while for seafood lovers there is Jilly’s Bayou Shrimp, prepared in Jilly’s own herb wine sauce and served with grilled dunk bread, or Ahi Tuna Roll, served with greens in a herb tortilla and sesame dipping sauce. Even here, the sports touch stays in play with items such as Smokin’ Joe’s Steak Sandwich, Pasta Lombardi and The Babe’s Hot Apple Pie. Both lunch and dinner menus offer a wide selection of salads, "big plate" main course and sandwich and desert fare. The dinner menu’s "big plate" main course ranges from chicken plates such as Lemon Herb Chicken and Jilly’s Roasted Chicken to fresh seafood selections like Grilled Salmon and The Catch to Diamond Back Ribs and Grilled Filet of Tenderloin. If you have the room for it after all that, then consider one of Jilly’s updates on classic dessert favorites in the form of Fried Cheesecake or Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae.
Jilly’s opens for lunch at 11:00 a.m. every day, with a fully-staffed bar offering pre-dining drinks. There is also a "reverse" happy hour on Sunday through Thursday evenings from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The kitchen prepares any item til midnight, and there are also $6 appetizers for light eaters available til 12:30 a.m. There is a take-out menu (Monday-Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) featuring many of the items found on the regular lunch and dinner menus.
