About

RestaurantBarSports Bar
PJs is the neighborhood sports pub that just does it better. As in more TVs, so every seat has a front-row view of the next big play. The best jumbo wings in town. A bigger, better, local-er beer lineup. And a team that brings it all together with a smile. And that's just the start. See, we’ve been raising the bar since 1983, so it doesn’t matter if it’s your first time in or your fiftieth. No matter who you are, our goal is to make you feel like part of the PJs family from the moment you walk through the door. So whether you’re just stopping by for a quick drink, ordering up your third round of wings at Wing Nite, or staying late to cheer on your favorite team, you can guarantee good times are always on tap.

    Stopped in here later in the evening for just drinks with my daughter and her boyfriend. We sat at the bar, and I decided to order food since I hadn't had my daily meal yet. Ordered the Jalapeño Smash burger. It was great. The beer selections are always just mid, nothing ecer really awesome on tap, but then again, Im a beer snob and prefer to drink the better IPAs from up north (NY, CT, VT, ME). But every PJs ive been to, the food has always been great. I will definitely come back to this one, especially since I didnt realize its not too far from where I live.

    Had a great experience here, there is ample seating. The food was tasty, beer was cold. Bartenders were friendly, i was pleased with the choices of hazy brews they had and came back for a second visit. The Philly egg rolls were great and so was the burge and more tots than i could eatr. Plenty of tvs to watch sports as well.

    Samantha was the best could not ask for better all around service! We asked to get moved and she got double sat as a server I know how hard that is. She handled it flawlessly and was super attentive to not only our table but the one next to us as well!

    The food was good. We ordered the pretzel bites with cheese and it was okay. The cheese was fabulous, but the pretzels were very hard and not soft at all. The cheese and the french fries were excellent. The Grilled Rueben was very dry and in other words boring. It did not wow me. The service was exceptional and our server was even training a new girl. The atmosphere was a little rough being sunday night for football. Some people were a little belligerent with what they were yelling. May not be best for young kids on a sunday night.

    Food was good, all 6 of us cleaned our plates easily. The patio was nice for an afternoon in November. Our server, Aniyza, was super friendly and super sweet. Aniyza made sure our cups were always filled and she checked to make sure everything was OK throughout our meal. Would recommend Whalens and Aniyza anytime
