Great atmosphere! Good food and happy hour. Kari, Lisa and Brooke are the best servers. Hidden gem! Name is misleading. In my mind, C J 'S is only in Commerce. read more

Highly recommended. Food and pizza is great. Great to catch a sports game live or on the tv. read more

Amazing service! Food was also great. Chef came out to explain specials. Will be going back.

I like their thin crust pizza that is $6 for one topping on Wednesdays. We usually come on Wednesdays. Happy Hour pricing until 7 pm. Service is always good. read more

Went here for a company farewell party. The place is huge and has a really great staff. They were on their job big time. Nobody went dry while we were there. We had the large pepperoni pizzas and they were really cheesy and tasting good. read more

Stayed at the hotel right next to this place, looked at the reviews and decided to give it a try. Food was pretty basic unfortunately, I just had a few appetizers but they were nothing special. Reviews and pictures are old maybe bc the pictures didn't seem to match the actual place? Server/bar tender was good; wasn't busy at all on a Thursday night. Overall was fine but probably wouldn't return. read more

Ordered Pizza. Heavy traffic, caught by the train, no parking. I finally go in ready to pick it up and the young girl says " not ready". I say "been at least 25 minutes with all the hassle to get here". She says they are backed up. I wait another 10 minutes ask status and she says "there are 9 pizzas ahead of me and another 25 minutes". I speak to the manager and ask that at the time I called did she know it was 45+ minutes and she says "yes". I then ask why we were not told this when we ordered. She replies she doesn't know and it's obvious she doesn't really care. Been going there since they opened and even before they took over the place. I don't care about the lousy $7. I do care about the way they just waste people's time and their attitude of not caring they do so. Won't be back. It was a nice run, shame it ends with incompetent staff and manager. read more

I stopped here for lunch while I was out in Plymouth. Great service. I sat at a high top in the bar. Bartender was solo and had customers at bar and was waiting the high tops, but was super efficient and friendly, even though he was pretty busy. I got a club sandwich and it was delicious. The fries lacked flavor but the sandwich was great. Also, food came out quickly. Would stop here again, especially I'd pressed for time. read more

We stopped in before the hockey game. Great vibe. Waitress was around to see us often. We tried a couple Michigan brews. The burgers are good, as are the onion rings. read more

I went to get some pizza today with a friend. Our waitress, Angie, was not friendly at all. She never have smiled and she never have came back to refill our drink. In the last few years I have been going to this place, and I always have liked this place. I was so disappointed today. I ordered some takeout pizzas to go. My friend paid the bill for the food we ate and she added tip to her bill. I did not add tip on mine for my takeout portion. Angie confronted me that I missed giving her tip and she was clearly upset about that. Maybe she was having a bad day today, but she did not give us good service at all. Then, she had to complain that I did not give her tip. She said "But I served you!". Yes, Angie, you did serve and your service was not good. I will ask for someone else if I come back to this place. read more

When I asked about beer I thought they would tout CJ's Beers instead I was informed about what mainstream bottles were available. However, I did order a CJ's IPA. It was tasty. Skip taco Tuesday, the tacos are very bland. read more

Tried our best to eat here. Unfortunately when having a party, but still open for business to the general public, they feel it is fine to violate Michigan law and make it inaccessible to the handicapped by blocking off the long steep driveways with orange cone. Called the manager who at first apologized then went into denial mode. Yes precious corvettes are more important than allowing the handicapped the right to park in their designated spots. Uh huh. Tell that to the state of Michigan. The manager offered us compensation and we may take him up on it because we do actually want to eat in here but this place is kinda leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Needless to say it is not good business at all. I will re-review at some point. read more

How long does one wait for a beer? The 15 minute rule, like in college when waiting for a professor to arrive? It wasn't like the bartender was MIA, she just didn't care. She even washed glasses (even though there was a clean stack) while patrons tried to get served. After 16 minutes, the bartender gave us a chance to order. She recommended the Magic Hat #9. Wait. This is a BREWERY. Shouldn't you be promoting your own product? In fact, the restaurant displayed signs of other beers. Not their own. Nice brewery. The worst part about the experience is that there was another sucker inline right after me when we moved on. CJ's is connected to Compuware Arena and is packed when the Whalers play. The servers can give their worst performance, yet have a line out the door. If you want timely service with a smile, I recommend the snack bar inside the arena. read more

Salads are good but we go for the Wednesday $6 pizzas. Grab a couple pepperoni and you and the family are set for dinner and lunch the next day. read more

If you're gonna go for drinks, you better go during happy hour or else 4 drinks are gonna cost you $40+

I was there just last night. A large group of us made a reservation and they were kind enough to stay late for us because of the size of the party coming. Not the entire wait staff but one in particular (she had dreadlocks) was so snooty she seemed thoroughly bothered by anyone asking her anything and everyone was talking about this. She was particularly rude to me as when she arrived at my table and asked if anyone was ready to order and I raised my hand saying I was, she never looked my way. After asking my table twice more if anyone was ready to order and no one but me heard her I said IM READY. She then finally looked at me and said I know I heard you. Um Ok, so then take my order.....just so rude. We got our meals before any silverware and waited a good while before we ever got the silverware. I ordered a Caesar salad as did my friend and neither had hardly any dressing, repeatedly had to ask for refills. Etc. there definitely seemed like enough wait staff for the party but everything was so disorganized. Definitely won't be back. read more

I had the carnivore pizza, and as you would expect it was loaded with MEAT! It was one of the best pizzas I have had in a while. Only complaint, its about 40 miles from my house. I will surely return when I am in the area! read more

This place is very nice. It's clean, interesting, snug, and comfortable. The service staff was super attentive. I sat at the bar. They called the regular customers by name. The beers were cold and kept filled. I had the bacon burger, and it was fresh and juicy. The fries are seasoned and good as well. The one down mark is you have to pay to park. read more

So they do a trivia thing every Thursday night, and my sisters friends cousin runs it so we go there quite often. Their service has never been good, but after this experience, I would rather bring in McDonalds from next door than give money to this place. The place was pretty busy for a Thursday, but it's connected to the hockey rink. You would think that they'd have crowds down pat. Not at all. The waitresses wear whatever they want, and they have extreme attitude. We waited 15 minutes after sitting down to get waited on, and the only reason they did come over to us was because my friend put up her hand as a joke and someone just happened to be there. When she did come over, she was extremely awkward saying she didn't know who our server was and didn't offer to take a drink order until we asked. I wanted a beer, and she told me the server had to take care of that. Really now... So I went up to the bar. Took 5 minutes to get my Blue Moon with only 5 people actually sitting at the bar...ridiculous. We finally get our 'waitress'. She takes our orders with attitude and leaves, never to be seen again...it was NOT her shift ending mind you. Some other people brought out appetizers like 15 minutes later. We waited an HOUR for our food. After some random people brought our food, no one returned to the table to ask if we needed anything. NOT EVEN TO REFILL OUR DRINKS....NOTHING! At that point, we just sat there to play trivia. At the end of the game, we wanted to leave, and still had not seen our check yet. My friend goes over the to the waitress that was supposed to be our server and politely asks for our bill. The girl put her finger in her face!!! with no words...just the attitude. I had had it, so I went to find the manager. I NEVER complain, but I felt compelled to let him know how RUDE this girl was. NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY. He gets our check and that was that. He did share that they're under-staffed but COME ON...she was soooo RUDE I will NEVER spend anything there again. And the manager is quite un-professional not knowing how to deal with complaints. What a disappointment in the STAFF because the bar itself is pretty nice inside. I left a dollar tip. I was told I should've left nothing...maybe they were right. HORRIBLE read more

Don't waste your time. WAYYY overpriced and not worth it for the food you get. Seriously who charges $7 for chips and salsa!? Just because it's connected to Compuware arena which hosts the whalers, compuware youth hockey programs and Catholic central hockey I guess they figure they can get away with a overpriced menu items, good that leaves a lot to be desired and subpar service to go along with inconvenient parking. Plenty of better places in the area to go to. Especially max and ermas .2 miles up the rd - late night happy hour Mon-Fri makes its a good cheap option for a post game bite to eat or drinks! read more

CJ's is a Thursday night location for a Metro Detroit Trivia League. And honestly, even though my friends work near here and trivia is a fun time, the venue makes it awful and I do not want to go back. Service is mostly a miss. I learned quickly that you'd better get your beer orders in at the start as it takes most of a trivia round (that's one HOUR) for that to show up. Food is the same way, but at least you're only ordering the food once; people might want more than one beer over the course of two hours! And the nutty part is, on less busy nights when there are many servers working, your wait for food and drink is as long as it'd be on a busy under-staffed night! The food is your average American bar fare: inoffensive but unexciting wraps, burgers and pizzas, though the fries are pretty good (probably because of the extensive deep frying, but hey, we all can't live forever). The beer is nothing special; I am spoiled by Ann Arbor breweries, but CJ's just takes their stab at popular styles and slaps their label on it. Nothing distinctive and memorable. What really soured me though, is their asinine policies when it comes to trivia gift certificates. Prizes are gift certificates to CJ's in various denominations. I attempted to pay my bill with a $25 gift certificate I had earned the prior week. Turns out it doesn't apply to beer; fair enough, I didn't read the certificate and maybe its a legal thing. What confuses me though, is that by paying for my food with this gift certificate, my beer apparently switched from special pricing to "full" pricing, and I essentially ended up using perhaps $2 worth of that gift certificate. As I had only managed to get served 2 or 3 times during the entire night, I did not feel like trying to question the manager about this "policy" and just wanted to get out of the place. I don't think I'll be back, and I desperately hope the trivia company picks a different Thursday venue in the Plymouth area, because CJ's is awful. read more

Looks like this place gets knocked for all sorts of reasons, and I guess I have to go ahead and pile on. I have been driving past this tap room (for the brewery out in the West Bloomfield/Commerce Twp area) for years, but never felt compelled to go in. We got the taster tray, which was actually 4 highball glasses with a generous 6 oz pour of: Pale Ale Vat 33 IPA American Wheat Rich-Hagg Red Despite claiming sweetness and mild hop character, the Wheat was unbalanced and too bitter. The sole drinkable brew was the IPA, but it frankly doesn't compare to other local craft brews within a 15 minute drive (Cough... Corner ... Cough... Liberty). Downright scary, though, were the Pale and Red, which were both sour. Apparently there is a "sour is the new hoppy" crowd out there, brewing with Brettanomyces yeast. This tasted like something gone wrong though. No good reason to go back. Not even the $5 pizza check-in offer would get me in any time soon (it's only good for a large 1 topping, which is about the same you will pay anyway). read more

First, the service was great. The waitress was quick to take our orders and came back regularly. We also received our dinner much quicker than I would have expected. Sadly, that's about the only thing I liked. It's hard to find this place. I didn't realize it was actually attached to the rink until we circled around the parking lot for a while. I never saw a sign to point us in the right direction. Parking is very cramped up on the hill by the restaurant, with larger vehicles sticking out into the driveway. The beer selection is not great. They only had a few regulars and nothing spectacular. I was expecting a seasonal or two, but they didn't have any. The club sandwich wasn't bad, but it seemed dry. I think it might be from having swiss cheese as well as cheddar. I originally planned to have a BBQ chicken sandwich that was on the website, but wasn't on the menu in the restaurant (or if it was, I didn't see it after looking it over a few times). If you live close by, it might be worth three stars, but having traveled a bit to get there myself, I can't see it being a place I'd return to in the future. read more

I checked out CJ's last night following a Whaler's game and I was overall disappointed with the experience. With such a prime location I think they dropped the ball on reaching their fullest potential. When I first walked in I was getting a good vibe. The layout was odd with a rather small bar smack dab in the middle. From visiting different breweries and "brewing companies" in the past I suppose I was expecting a larger sized bar. Unfortunately, I can not comment on the food because we decided not to order any. However, the beer selection on draft was also a let down =( I believe they only had 5, maybe 6, options. I've been to hole-in-the-wall places with a wider variety. And to be honest, the service was mediocre. I don't think any of the girls smiled once while we were there. The bartenders never engaged customers they were too busy talking amongst themselves. Did not feel all that welcome except the company I was in! I would though, give it another shot if and when I attend another Whaler's game because I would like to try their food. But I will definitely head in there with lower standards this time. read more

Went to see Harry Potter 2 at the Compuware Drive In. One of the perks is you can order straight from Cj's and they will deliver to your car. 1) Called and ordered - someone picked up right away. Gave her our order and cc number. She said we'd have our order in 20-25 minutes. That was perfect, since we had about an hour before the film started. 2) 10 minutes later, the same woman calls us back. They were out of wraps, so couldn't fill my husband's order. Selected something else. She said our cc didn't go through and asked if we had another (which was odd). Gave her a different cc number. She said it'd be out in 10 minutes. 3) 40 minutes later, (50 minutes after we ordered), we finally called to check the status. The movie was about to start and it was getting dark. We were told it'd be out in 5-10 minutes 4) 20 minutes later (70 minutes after we ordered), the food arrived. The fries were cold, and we couldn't see what we were eating since it was dark out by then. The food was decent, but if you are looking at this as an option for drive-in night, order VERY early! read more

This is a hockey sports bar, connected to two hockey rinks where high school and the OHL Plymouth Whalers play. It is delightfully decorated with hockey things from players who played for the whalers are now in the NHL. I have ate lunch there several times, and it was delicious. I also have gone their for Pizza in the evening and it was fantastic. Every time I went there service was great. read more

Their site is misleading. They have one taproom with specials in Commerce. Plymouth is a bar that serves their beer and food, but no specials and not all beers specified on tap. No growler Tuesday or burger deal. No cask beer on Monday. Same on you all for not making it more clear. That said, they do make good beer. read more

Good beer selection, both home brew and a fine selection of Michigan based breweries. A good place to eat before a hockey game, in this area there are not many other options that are close to the rink where you can sit down and enjoy a beer. So its more convenient than anything else - its all about the location. A good sized menu, but really the focus is on the sandwiches (read hamburgers and such) and salads. I like their pizza more, and they do a decent job with their speciality pies. Regardless all the portions are large. But don't expect the food to be more than a step above standard bar food - which is fine for venue. Many groups - hockey teams in for a tournament that can't live on rink hot dogs. read more

It is a big sports bar. It has potenial! Food was so-so, service was good, drinks were fine. Would I go back, only if there was a reason to. read more

Good food and a nice environment. Tried some of their beers and was very good. It's a good match with watching a game at the arena but would also visit on any occasion. Will definitely be returning. read more

What a treat! The beer selection was decent for a non-brewery. Appetizer selections were really good too! However, the best thing about this visit, hands down, was the OUTSTANDING DEEP DISH PIZZA!! Good Lord, probably the best I've had in a while. Great crust, perfect cheese, and very tasty sauce!! Luckily, I only got a small, because I could have eaten a whole large....maybe. Ha! The pizza overshadowed our BORING, lifeless Server who lacked any enthusiasm whatsoever....and I tried hard to make her at least SMILE. Nope, she just wouldn't. She should stay in the kitchen!! She is the only reason I couldn't give 5-Stars! read more

It was one of those Friday nights where I didn't want to be surrounded by lots of people and have to yell to talk to the person across the table from me. It was a long week and I had 2 objectives, a drink and chill. So glad a friend recommended this place. Tim and I started at the bar and Mike waited on us. Tim tried a few of CJs brewed beers but in the end settled on a favorite from Petoskey Brewery. I was happy they had a hard cider option. We met up with some friends and moved to a table in the bar area. I'm happy to say Mike remained our server. Great guy, drinks were refreshed often and he checked in just the right amount of times. We decided to order some grub and it was much better than I was expecting. Nachos, pizza rolls, pretzels and cheese and a salad were ordered. The highlight was definitely the pizza rolls, which were recommended by Mike and are made in house. All in all a great night of food and fun. I know this place doesn't get great reviews but we experienced nothing but good service. I will be back! read more

Love this place. Servers are awesome. Try the BBQ ckn salad. $5 pizza Wednesday seriously the best pizza in Detroit area. I will be back. read more

I can't help but to laugh at the lack of common sense when it comes to carry out orders. I've just gotten into a car accident and had surgery and forgotten they have "beer onion" soup instead of French onion. When ordering, I said that and was corrected. Ok, that's fine. I then asked if it had cheese in it, (menu description states two or 3 different cheeses), and instead of looking at the menu, 3 lemmings had to ask each other back and forth if it did. I'll settle it, it's French onion soup made with beer lmao, Ok? My favorite part is when my liquid meals are haphazardly thrown into a plastic bag to leak all over. I can't wait until I recover and I can eat at a real dining facility instead of out of a troth. read more

This has been the worst dining experience ever. Our server came and assisted us a total of 3 times while we waited for her for a long time. I will never come back to this place. If I could, I'd give 0 stars. Thanks for nothing. read more

Basic brewery with bar-type food. I wish they had some lighter options, but I ended up ordering the California Club, which is a wrap with turkey, avocado, bacon, and lettuce and also comes with fries. Half of it definitely made me full, but I tried to finish the whole entree, which I regret in retrospect since I was stuffed afterwards. The restaurant was pretty empty when we entered on a Sunday night, so our large party of 8 had no trouble finding seating. I like that the restaurant sits up pretty high on a hill and has big windows looking out onto the surroundings. Perhaps a good place to have a party, or watch sports with friends as they have multiple TVs. read more

CJ's Brewing - California club - Pizza Near Me - Plymouth, Michigan

First review ever. Love the service. Kind, friendly and attentive service. Food is also good. I have worked in restaurants all through High School and College, I also served in the Navy on a ship. Point being, the restaurant and floors smell like dirty grease. It is nauseating and a sign of issues. I can only assume the floors are being mopped with the same dirty mop heads as are used in the kitchen area. Separate clean mops should be used, cleaned and replaced regular. Ignoring this issue is again a possible sign of an unclean place? I hope the article below sheds some light. ARTICLE One of the biggest mistakes restaurants make is to use a mop that has been standing in a mop bucket that is not clean. Mop buckets should be prepared with hot wat https://commercialsteamteam.com/restaurant-smell-people-part/ read more

I am a HUGE fan of the Plymouth Whalers, so my only two experiences with CJ's are directly after home games. All in all, I would have to largely agree with the majority of users about the service. I haven't experienced service as bad as some have cited, but I have only done table service, as opposed to bar service, which hasn't been bad. CJ's is definitely a bit pricey for what you get. I will say that. I would avoid appetizers if I were you. They are your typical, boring, uncreative sports bar appetizers. The Blackened Steak Bites appetizer may sound quite good, but you only get about 8 small little shriveled up pieces of steak meat that are drowning in some sort of a dry rub seasoning for $10. Based on the creativity of everything else on the menu, it's probably just seasoned with some flavor of McCormick Grill Mates. I digress, but you get my point. Avoid those. I was attracted to CJ's after the Whalers game, because I caught wind that most of the players and their families dine here after the game, which is true. I was also attracted to try CJ's because I enjoy their pizza they sold at the concession stands during the games. A slice of pepperoni from the concessions only has 3 slices of pepperoni on it, so I assumed that the dining version of CJ's would have more. Not the case. My go-to pizza is a simple, two topping, pepperoni and black olives combination. I was shocked and disappointed to discover that even the dine-in pizza at CJ's still has only a mere 3 slices of pepperoni, and the black olives were proportionally as scarce. Maybe 8-10 thinly sliced olives per slice? It's certainly priced as if you were getting much more. It's a really greasy pizza, but something about it is pretty good. I just wish they weren't so skimpy with the toppings. I would go back to CJ's again, but only if I was eating in after a Whalers game. I would not seek it out when it isn't hockey season or as a stand alone restaurant. read more

Just ordered take out! It was ok. I asked for my turkey club on wheat. It was on white. The wings were good. They're not breaded and I ordered them plain. I thought the pizza was on a thinner crust it too was ok. I ordered the California club wrap. Not good--too much lettuce. It was turkey, lettuce and bacon. I didn't have a menu when I ordered so I was basically ordering blind. read more
