5 STARS! Tiki Tim's…read morePub & Grill is a fantastic find. I see in another review a Yelper complains that it's not a tiki bar, but if you understand proper English, they're not claiming to be a tiki bar. The name says Pub & Grill. The bar's OWNER is Tiki Tim. That's his nickname, not a description of the bar. Yes there are some tiki type decorations, and yes, the place is actually a dive bar, But they have an absolutely fantastic kitchen so Tiki Tim's is well worth visiting. I ordered the Loaded Crab Cake Bloody Mary ($26.99). This exceptional Bloody Mary comes with a Bloody Mary Chaser! The chaser had 6 green olives. The Bloody Mary itself had: 4 pcs Celery 2 slices of Bacon 3 Mini tomatoes 4 lg shrimp 1 Crab cake burger It's a meal as well as a drink. Nice kick, too. The menu has several different Bloody Mary options. I also ordered the Blue Crab Fries ($14.51). A huge dollop of blue crab dip on seasoned fries. Enough dip for all the fries. Wing Man Gary (USAF pilot, retired) had the Tiki Burger ($14.51). Gary reports the burger was good but not exceptional. The menu has some fantastic offerings, I'll be back to try more!

Came by on "Burger Monday" around lunch time. I wanted to try the burger, but the reviews about the…read morePhilly cheesesteak were too good to ignore. The Cheesesteak lived up to the hype. The roll was super fresh and had a nice sponginess to it. I got the cheesesteak with the onion, pepper, and Cooper's Sharp cheese and it was out-damn-standing. My wife wanted to try the crab cake but the bartender (the fabulous Carolyn, aka London) sold her on the fresh-caught snapper sandwich. She got it blackened and said it was the best snapper sandwich she's had in a long time. The bar and grill is far from pretentious and is a couple steps up from dive bar status. Prices are fair and service was top-notch. Overall this place backs up its Yelp rating. I'll be back for those crab cakes soon!

Date of Visit: 11/08/2025 5:30pm…read more After some shopping at the mall the wife and I were wanting to grab a beer somewhere. As we were heading out the parking I mentioned CJ's across the street. We have never been there before but friends of ours do play there once in while. So that's where we headed. As others have stated there is plenty of parking, in the main lot and in back. We parked in the main lot. Walked inside an immediately notice this was a place for music. No bands were playing since it was early. Found a spot at the bar, may have been ten others sitting at the bar. There was only one bar tender working the bar and she was working it. She came and saw us right after sitting and got our drink orders. Not sure if we wanted to eat but we still looked over the menu. We decided to get some food. I noticed they do a smashburger and I am always up for a that. The wife has been watching what she eats and decided on the chicken strips. The food didn't take long to arrive and both looked very good. My burger was done right, double cheesesmash with LTO just the way I like it. I got fries with it as well and I must say these were some mighty good fries. My wife really liked her chicken strips too. They were not battered and not overly fried, still very moist on the inside. She has been trying to stay away from overly fried foods and these were not overly done. I believe she ate them all as well. Since it was early there were no seating issues like I have read from others. And if your a car person they do a last Sunday of the month breakfast buffet and car show in the morning. Looking forward to that. All I can say is give this place a try. May have to go in the evening and listen to some live music. Peace.

Shout out to the kitchen staff for doing an awesome job on all the food we ordered!!

Since it's November, the temperature was fine and there was a breeze. We had no problem sitting outside. Mom ordered the $9.95 Tuesday special of chicken fajitas and I ordered the $12.95 anti pasta salad, which came with a tasty Italian dressing. Both dishes were average but good value for the price. The service was fast. The food was good overall I would rate it 3.5 stars, but since I always round up that gives The Joint four stars.

Big bar area, plenty of seating in the bar area and around the bar. Not cramped at all. Good service, live music (guy on a guitar), cold cheap drinks, nice crowd (no idiots) and some of the best chicken wings I've ever had anywhere. That's all I had, but am hoping the rest of the food is just as good. In addition, the place is super clean which I oddly noticed. Tons of TVs and would be an awesome place to watch sports. I'll be back next friday.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

Immediately were seated in a large, comfortable booth and chips and salsa were brought right to us, so good! The chips were crispy and salsa was fresh. The menu is quite extensive and they were serving both breakfast and lunch at the time. For our mains, my husband and I were both confused between two options. Paola made recommendations based on what we were interested in - my husband ended up getting the Faji-torta and I got the Veggie Tacos. The tacos were perfect! Soft blue corn tortillas, piled high with sauteed veggies and queso fresco, with a side of black beans and rice. Every bite was tasty and I was really happy with my meal. My husband loved the filling sandwich as well! Overall, great experience, would recommend, and big thank you to Paola for elevating our experience and really taking care of us.
