    Their Facebook promoted the tuesday wing specia 3-10pm dine in half off wings. Came in this evening, sat down, saw that you had to have a "pjs rewards account" by QR code and phone # sign up to get the discount. What a joke. I wouldnt of came if that was mentioned on FB. Ordered my wings. Made a fake account. Ate the steroid wings. Sauces were ok. Ordered both classic and naked. Nothing to rave about. The wings were on steroids so the meat was chewy. Smaller wings are more tender btw. Anyways i created a fake account. Got the wings half off. Tipped the server as if full price. Went outside and immediately deletedmy account and blocked my # & spammed email. Screw this corporate place. The atmosphere makes it a decent sports bar but not returning due to shady marketing and more personal data BS requests

    Just ordered take out , service was good. Host was very helpful . I ordered 5 garlic parm wings and 5 Korean bbq . The wings weren’t done, and very soggy. My mozzarella sticks were cold breaded cheese sticks. Very disappointed and I’ve been to almost every PJ’s in south Jersey . Worst location of them all. Do better guys

    I came here over the summer and ordered the shareable boneless wings. Amazing. Plenty of wings to go around and great tasting. I went there yesterday afternoon and ordered the shareable boneless wings and while they were still delicious, it wasn’t a very “shareable” sized platter. I also ordered the “og burger” which was very good. Poor service though, and that’s every time I go there. I was there at 1pm. Not very many people were there and I didn’t get checked on once during my meal. All in all good tasting food poor service and over priced. I order one appetizer being the ten “sharable” boneless wings a burger a turkey bowl and two waters. Came in just under $60.

    I recently visited PJ Whelihan’s and was shocked to see that my server added an extra $10 tip to my bill without my authorization. When I spoke with the manager, Dave, his response was very dismissive. All he said was to “give it a few days” for the charge to correct itself. I explained that what happened was stealing and that it caused an overdraft fee on my account because I wasn’t expecting the extra charge. His only response was that in the year they’ve been open, it’s only happened twice and that the employee has been with the company for six years… as if that excused it. There was no apology or effort to make the situation right. This experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and completely avoidable. I hope management takes accountability and ensures this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
