We have been to this chain restaurant location many times. We usually get a great friendly waitress. Sometimes the service is slow. But you can't beat it for a fun atmosphere and there's always SOME sporting event to watch! They don't take reservations but if it's busy, you give them your number and they have a system that tells you how many people are in front of you and estimated wait time. That's just incredibly helpful instead of standing around aimlessly waiting and wondering. I usually get the keto bowl and husband gets French dip. The PJ famous fries are trying to be Chickie and Pete's crab fries and they do come close.
Meredith....number 1 A plus bartender! Drink right the first time! Pleasant! Would come here again!
What's weird is that whenever I go here it's a wings and beer spot. But I always find myself eating the California Crunch salad. I can say anything but it's absolutely delicious. I love eating it so much that whenever I go out here this is simply what I get every time with a beer lol. The service is always friendly and quick, but we also always sit at the bar. The ambiance is like any other sports bar, what I find interesting is that this location is small compared to others I have been to.
Stopped in for my favorite lunch- a Turkey Club! Mackenzie was my server and recommended some yummy Cheesesteak nachos and made sure i could get them without onions! Will definitely be back!
A little loud when you walk in but this a pretty nice sports bar! I really liked the boneless wings and fries! The ranch was also good, which is important! The margarita was surprising, the "classic" comes with orange juice and therefore is a bright yellow color but it still tasted good.
We came in for a few drinks and ended up staying longer and getting food. Our server Robyn was very accommodating and quick to keep us happy
