    Mahoney Chicken Sandwich w/ fries
    Adam S.

    I've driven past this place no less than one million times and just stopped in for the first time yesterday as I've heard great things about their Mahoney Chicken Sandwich. It's certainly a sports bar... tons of seating, lots of TVs and a really nice looking bar area. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy and seemed to be short staffed. I'd say we waited a few minutes above average to give our order and to get our food, but it was no big deal. Server was friendly and did a great job despite being rushed. The menu was decent, but as previously stated, I was set on getting the Mahoney and it lived up to the expectations! The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, juicy and super flavorful! It was built well and didn't fall apart... probably one of the best chicken sandwiches that I've ever had! The fries were run of the mill frozen, but the seasoning was really nice. We'll be back for sure! There are a few other menu items that I'd want to try and it seems like a fun place to get a meal while watching the game.

    Wow!!! What a fanatic night! I was meeting up with a friend to watch the Lions Game and he suggested CJ Mahoney's. It's the half way point between us so it was perfect. When I arrived he was already seated in a booth with the game ready to go!!!!!! It was a packed house for sure, so we got lucky. On Lions watch games they raffle off a jersey! How cool is that?! Not only is this review for the overall experience, but the steak tips were out of this world! I've been on a Steak tip kick and I thought I had found the best around already but CJ's tips are #1 in my opinion and the zip sauce OMG! For a little extra I added sautéed onions and mushrooms. The serving size was large enough to split, but I was keeping these steak tips all to myself! lol I will most certainly come back for a game watch!

    Service was good. Kinda has a familiar vibe. The Mahoney sandwich was great along with the potstickers! Would return!

    Service was kind of slow on a night where only 5 other tables were seated. Our server was really nice but everything took so long to get to us. The drinks were really weak and we all felt pretty disappointed about that. The food was ok but nothing special. They have a pretty good variety of items to choose from but nothing really stood out. It all lacked flavor. I'd say my favorite thing was the mozzarella sticks but you really can't mess those up too badly. We probably won't return as there are several other great options in the area

I can always find something I like, but I may sample a couple that aren't my taste along the way, which is completely fine when a company is brewing what looks like 30 different things at once. A couple vegan options on the menu with some adjustments, many more for vegetarians. The food has always arrived fresh and hot, and correctly modified. Environment definitely leans toward a bar and sports bar atmosphere with occasionally loud tables celebrating. Music often overrides TV commentary if it's not a Michigan specific game. Requests for specific games on certain TVs was considered and honored- so easy to make adjustments for viewing comfort too.

Service : they always have nice waitstaff. It does get busy on party evenings during the weekends but the staff is very friendly and do the best they can. I don't think we ever waited "too long" for food or drinks to come out. Ambiance : family friendly I'd say before 8 any day , and good for girls night out or date on Friday and Saturday's in my opinion for a fun night . Bar: great bar selection . TVs all around.

We were told before we were…read moreseated that we had to be gone in an hour because they had another group coming even with a reservation. Our food ended up taking forever to come out so we were rushed to hurry up and eat and leave when it came out. For appetizers we got the chips and dip and salads. The dip had a long piece of hair in it and we immediately sent it back and the waiter looked at us like we were crazy for not wanting it. The salads were pretty good - big portion with lots of fresh toppings and dressing. For entrees we got the buffalo chicken sandwiches and the grilled chicken plate. My mom asked for no buffalo and it came with buffalo on it so she didn't love it. Mine on the other hand was pretty average. It was a large portion and had a good amount of toppings on it that altogether was very flavorful. I did ask for ranch on the side when i ordered and it took awhile for it to come out. The chicken plate was just about the only good dish we had. It came with a good spread of well prepared food and was a healthy option on the menu. The worst part of this experience was when we asked for bags for left overs the waiter told us to go get it ourselves so we had to awkwardly go behind the bar to grab it. Overall the service was terrible- everyone was rude. The food was slightly above average but with the hair in it and messing up our orders i would not recommend. Even though this is in prime location there are so many better options in the area. I could see this place having potential for coming for drinks with all the tvs or on the rooftop in the summer but thats about it.

Finally stumbled in on a Sunday afternoon, and secretly loved it here. When I walked in, I immediately thought "is this an off shoot of Red Coat Tavern before it was Red Coat Tavern? Why does it look like a Mafia place from the 1970's with a 1995 sports bar feel?" I find I'm still thinking about this place even days later. No, it's not the coolest place in town, but I kind of like it because it's a typical bar with regulars and randoms like me. I decided to grab a mid afternoon bite and didn't want to be bothered with the usual places as I have grown tired of them. Also, there's this new thing called Yelp Cash Back, and this was the closest place to me that does it, and since I don't know much about Yelp Cash Back, I wanted to see if it really worked. Anyways, I scoured the menu and found a BBQ burger that sounded right up my alley. The bartender was also my server, and she was miraculously running the whole area by herself. Mind you, when I got here, it was dead. There was me, in a booth far far away, and two older dudes who were clearly regulars watching football on the TV's over the bar. Clearly, the two guys and the bartender were familiar with each other, and I secretly loved it, and watched as they interacted amoungst each other. Gave me a cheers feeling that sometimes you don't always find anymore. My burger came out with fries, and it was a okay. Nothing exciting really, but good non the less. I polished it off with the fries and downed a sprite since I wasn't in the mood to have any booze. Another reason I like this place is because it seems to be douchebag free. Honest good people without an agenda. As time went on during my meal, more people started rolling in. Some of them were regulars, as they were warmly greeted by name from the bartender, and asked if she could get them their "usual" beer and meal. Again, loved it. I should also give my props to the bartender. She was hilarious without knowing it. When I walked in, she greeted me immediately, and asked how I was doing. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I realized she was bundled up in about 12 coats, a hoodie, and stated that she was freezing since the cold air was blasting her every time the door opened. I have no clue what this place is like when it's busy, but it's a nice casual atmosphere. I would gladly return in the future even though it's not the most remarkable place in town, but I still love it. The food was decent, loved the atmosphere and for $9, I got a burger, fries and a Sprite. $9!

It was ironic because we had to watch like 5 wait staff scuttle away from our table while being seated because we would not be seeing anybody else to wait on us for 10 minutes. The bus boy showed the most friendliness and was on top of his job more than anybody else around. The corned beef egg rolls were just fine and the burgers were alright. The only reason I would return would be for the music.

A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18.

As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities.
