Average food, nothing really jumped out at me on the menu. Had the steak sandwich which was incredibly dry. Onion ring batter was actually super sharp so were a struggle to eat.
Service was good but the bill was expensive for the quality of food.
Wouldn't return for the price.

My wife and I order the same thing every time we go to this restaurant. The soup is rich, and the Lettuce wrap filling is usually to die for. Not tonight. I know it was Friday, but bur it wasnt busy and the drinks and food were well below par(soup was watery with no substance and underportioned, salad was old, soggy and embarrassingly small, filling for wraps was just wrong. I felt brushed off.

OJs has been amazing. The food is always good and consistent and the staff are awesome. Ask for Becca during the day. She is on top of orders and makes sure you're never waiting for anything.

rly busy and loud it sounded like a school gymnasium. the hostess ignored us, it wasn’t until another customer that must’ve been a regular came in did she come to the hostess stand. if you’re gonna sell $1 add ons of slush make it more than a tablespoon. didn’t add anything to my drink except water it down. i got the whiskey bbq burger which was good but my bf said his bruschetta fettuccine was not that good. only came here to use a gift card that didn’t even work (not their fault) and we were not too impressed.
