Reviews of Original Botak Jones (153 Kampong Ampat)

C. A.

Very generous portion! Their breakfast brunch come with 2 eggs, tater tots, giant chicken sausage, spinach, baked bean, lp sauce mushroom and toast. My girl love the giant sausage while I like the crispy toast with scramble egg. Be sure to leave some stomach space for their banana cake with ice cream. It's moist, light and full of banana flavour 😋 Perfect treat to complete the meal!

A hidden gem at Tai Seng Industrial area , serves gastronomic quality western food at reasonable prices, with an emphasis on fresh, quality ingredients that are cooked to perfection. 👍🏻🥩 The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, perfect for catching up with friends and family. The staffs were polite and friendly, making the visit an enjoyable experience.

This unassuming place that serves quality American food at affordable prices. I was here for lunch, the place was almost packed and no wonder because the food is great. The staff is friendly; food is super fresh specially the fish and chips. Everything is super affordable, not expensive at all. I would go back here without second thoughts! It takes a bit longer to find the place, it’s quite hidden but highly recommend it.

C. N.

Staff was really friendly, proactive and food was absolutely delicious. I really liked the furniture, esp the large farmhouse tables. The aircon could be stronger/colder but other than that it was a great experience!

This outlet is situated on the 7th floor of an industrial building. It does not seem very accessible by public transport. There are limited parking lots for visitors, with signs stating that the maximum duration for visitors to park is 30 min. There are some street parking lots within the vicinity of the building. This is currently the only Botak Jones outlet that is air conditioned and that they occupy an entire unit (ie restaurant instead of a stall in a coffee shop) I tried the Chili Dawg. The mains come with the choice of 2 side dishes. I selected a double serving of Cajun fries. The portion size is big - the length of this chicken hot dog is roughly 30 cm. The Whoopass con carne with diced onions made it tasty and crunchy. Still damn good. I came in with an empty stomach and walked out with a food coma.

Hidden gem in level 7 of MacPherson industrial building! Had lite fish and chips @$8.50 and mushroom cheeseburger @$17.50. Smaller portion for the lite meal works well, with half a fish fillet and 2 sides. Baked beans were served warm and spicy crunchy fries. Cheeseburger was pretty thick and moist. It wasn’t crowded on Saturday afternoon. T tables weee huge and able to sit large groups. Nice music and warm lighting in the restaurant. The passenger lift was at back of the building so it was difficult to locate. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Explored the Tai Seng area a little more today. We found Botak Jones hidden away in an industrial building. Our family of 4 ordered two burgers, a fish salad and a hotdog. The portions were VERY generous and we had to take home some fries. The fish salad was good too. I always like a well fried fish fillet. The burgers unfortunately were a bit overdone. Although the restaurant was not busy, we still had to wait about 25min for our food. Having said that, it was still a good find and we will be back to try other items.

Took some time to locate the place given it was in an industrial building. Food was good and definitely filling and value for money for the regular sized portion. Waited 30mins for 2 dishes on a weekday night tho and place does get noisy with a larger crowd.

S. Y.

Enjoyed Caesar Salad there, the food & environment is not bad! I was there again with my family on Saturday, 19 March 2022 after 6pm. The business was good, so we took seats outside with a nice sunset view. Nice experience! Good gathering place with pleasant ambience at weekend or weekday evenings, highly recommended.

Y. Z. C.

Been long since I last had an affordable and filling brunch. Nice atmosphere with good old oldies music and air con. Served with nice hot fries together with my steak. The mushroom soup is also very thick and fragrant.

L. B.

Classic western fare in a nice cafe setting. Drinks are fairly priced, which is very rare. Food tastes just like it did years ago, packed with nostalgia.

l. b.

Place is located inside industrial area. The food portion are generous. The food did not taste as good as it was. Felt that food at depot road taste better. Will give it a try again next time to help with the rating

K. H.

Still very good after all these years! Wah so shiok. Consistency is 100% from the last time I ate it.. and the chips are out of this world. Goes very well with a fizzy drink or their signature classic ol' ice lemon tea. Lots of diners eating with no one playing with their phones... obviously concentrating on the amazing cajun chicken and fish & chips. The music played here is very nice too... having comfort food with Adele playing at the background is almost perfect. Two thumbs up!

s. y.

Went to try The Original botak Jones last night after so long, and I wasn't disappointed! The food was excellent! The cajun chicken was seasoned well, juicy and tender. The fish and chips was plump and delicious with a light coating of batter. The fries was tasty and overloading! The jalapeño poppers were oozing with cheese and so yummy, I left thoroughly satisfied. Will definitely be back with my mates.

Had Botak burger here and it was as expected, good. The set comes with generous amount of fries and coleslaw - one of the most generous I've seen at that price. Also had their chilli dawg but kinda disappointed that it only had some chilli on the middle of it. Not enough! Their mushroom soup for an additional $1 with the set is good. It's made with generous amounts of mushrooms and decent creaminess that's not overpowering. I'm not happy with their order taking as I used Fave to pay and after I paid, I closed the app but the staff asked me to show her I made payment and as I'm new to Fave, couldn't find the record so held up the lunch crowd. Embarrassing! Thought it would show immediately on your POS that I've paid.

c. a.

Good portion of the foods, priced reasonably. Meats are well seasoned. Do drop them a visit when you are near there !

M. J. T.

I Havnt had botak Jones in years.. when I came back, the quality was the same: the same good herb rub, fhw thick brown sauce, the same thickness of the ribeye, and the shitake mushroom soup. Quality experience n food compared to those cafes, this place does their beef well, in their own unique style and flavour that is distinct from other typical steak places like astons and Jack's. In addition, this place has a high ceiling and is spacious, with the drinks stall serving draft beer. Definitely will come back here again, which is usually less crowded on a weekend as it is in a semi industrial area.

A. T. J. L.

Ordered the botak burger. Price wise it's quite exp but then you realise its quite worth the price. Patty taste fresh and not frozen. Very generous in their portion and can't really finish it on my own. Cajun fries is damn good. It's quite addictive. Coleslaw it's pretty normal. The burger patty is not oozing with oil but it is also not too dry. Beside being out of the way and exp this is defintely one of the best kopitiam style Western food

Food was good , staff were very helpful, ambience was nice, good comeback . Mushroom soup was good , chicken patti in the burger was good , fish n chips was decent .

J. L.

Expected better, I like that the location is secluded, prices are reasonable. But the soup is way too creamy/milky, and the fries were hot but soggy. Chicken was alright but I feel it could have been more thoroughly cooked. Overall quite average, hoped for better given the branding and name.

Y. N.

Nice ambiance. Portion were great and the quality of food is near to perfect for us. Will come back for more.

Value for money. Pls consider using chicken thigh instead of chicken breast. The mushroom soup is top creamy, the milk taste overpowers the mushroom.

L. C.

Located at 7 floor on some industrial building, strategy location, went there during my lunch. IS SO GOOD OMG, Since when is the last time I had such a good butter rice in my life? BUTTER RICE IS SO GOOD, the chicken is excellent also and what is amazing? For lunch set is only $6! Got aircon got nice environment, perfect lunch place! Will definitely visit here more often during my lunch time, YUMMY,

B. C.

Very nice leh, big portions and <$10 for most mains. Don't know why people say they use chicken breast like it's a bad thing it's still moist and nice. Mushroom soup rly very good.

E. T.

Located at an old industrial building, parking is strictly for tenants, so do it at your own risk. Limited roadside parking is available. Parking is also available at the hdb estate just across the street. Food wise, cajun chicken is decent, though not as good as I remembered. Still worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.

J. C.

Excellent through and through! Food was really tasty; cajun chicken was moist, tender and seasoned beautifully (definitely a must-have here); steak was proper medium rare and delicious; sides of coleslaw, potato with cheese, cajun fries and chili con carne were delectable and on generous portions. Brilliant stuff at very reasonable prices, glad to see Botak Jones being back in it!

E. T.

Food is good as usual, but waiting time for lunch is almost an hour…. Understaffed, only two front crews taking order, drinks, serve and clearing plates despite full house capacity

L. T.

I came here with my family for lunch and the experience was great! The food here is affordable but at the same time everything is freshly made and the culinary skill of the chef was just on point.

M. A. A.

still good? STILL DAMN GOOD. went on 9 sep 2022 dinner service. staffs were welcoming and friendly. FYI: this outlet is relatively near Tai Seng MRT

A. J.

Nice atmosphere amid in industrial environment. Food so good makes u come for more. Tried the cajun chix burger without regret.love every bite

W. h. a. f. o. o.

Good late night meal. I gave a high review mainly cause they were still opened when I was around that industrial area at 8.30pm and the staff kindly allowed us to order despite closing at 9pm. I am grateful for them and the food is as usual having good standard. I normally visit the depot branch and there is no difference. I love the atmosphere, the big large table and clean environment.

C. C.

Used to be real American serving, a decade ago I would struggle to finish my order, but now I can finish without easily..

Food is reasonably priced. Service is good. Of course the location is inconvenient if you do not drive or live nearby, but it is worth it because inconvenient location means that the restaurant is generally peaceful and quiet. Been here 3 times in 2 months, will absolutely come back again.

nice place with parking downstairs. was in the area and happened to see the banner. friendly staff and good food. added a request in the online order form to separate the sauce as I can't take too much milk but request was left out (maybe due to system?).

D. Y.

Food was pretty good, comparable to the quality before. But sitting space was limited so expect to be seated outside if you dine in

Found it good value and nice. Had fish and chip but found the fish dry. Bbq Chicken chop was nice.

R. C.

Clean place nice food ,same old taste . Keep it up . Best is can have beers.

Fish and chips was HUGE. Generous portion of fries. A pity coleslaw was rather tasteless. Ribeye steak was good!

It was value for money for sure. It was packed and staff ignored me for the longest time even though they saw me standing at the door. I felt the food had too much seasoning although the portions were generous.

Cosy place. Food is great as usual all these years despite the changes in location

C. H. N.

Place is situated in an industrial building, air con and non air con tables, counter or qr scan and order. Self service with call tags. Food is alright. Cheesecake is good

T. J.

Cannot compare with the previous. Location, food, service could be better. Eating in the evening is not ideal with direct sunset shining on the outside seats and the cashier with sauces. Food took about 30min+ to arrive (without warning).

N. T.

OK pretty large serving since I ordered large taste wise pretty avg location wise will take a 5mins walk if you walk from macpherson Rd. Atmosphere is cosy and nice though.

M. T.

The food never fails to impress me as always. Aircon a bit weak today. Parking is free for cars after 5 pm on weekdays and weekends.

S. T.

Nice cosy ambience, prices are reasonable and serving portion is quite big.

r. w.

Eating this since poly days . Thank you for coming back again to bring life to western food .

S. K.

A very cosy place to eat with friends or family. The food portions were great. I must say that the food was delicious and was truly value for money.

Not very accessible but the food is as good as always!

A. R.

Good place to get quality food at the price of Western food stall in hawkers center. Service is good. Expect to wait about 30min for the food.

R. T.

Loved the fish and chips esp the sauce. The batter was a tad too hard though. But standard still good!

A. K.

Great food , nice ambient, staff was nice.
