    winner winners - skill claw in the corner !!

    4/19/12: Looking for a dive bar where you can get a cheap drink and do some awesome people watching? CJ's! It's one of those places that's ultra fun to go when you're gettting a little tired of the usual scene. It's hidden in the back of the lot by Lamps Plus. There used to be an adult bookstore next door but that's gone now. The drinks are relatively inexpensive. AND there's a skill claw in the back which will remind you of childhood - putting in 50 cents and trying to pluck a stuffed animal; but this one is filled with raunchy porn. I've added "Hairy Asians" and "Big Gaping Holes" to my movie collection - and a couple cute, cuddly stuffed animals. Hey, any skill claw you can win something out of more than once is worth going back to! I thought all of those machines were rigged! Not true. CJ's used to have dancing on weekends - not sure if they still do. You probably don't want to go there to dance but it's worth going to watch the people that do go there to dance. There are a couple of pool tables, electronic darts, and the owner (Shorty) makes appearances quite a bit. Super nice guy. More than once he's put money in the juke box and let the crowd pick the songs. You get a lot of classic rock and country this way. I approve! A $15.50 tab on 6/2/12 and I'd had enough to drink... that's not bad!

    Came here weekday for lunch with a friend and a bunch of kids, the restaurant was surprisingly busy…read morebut they were still pretty fast. Service was fine despite them being so busy, we got our drinks and order in a timely manner and when we asked for boxes and the check they were quick to respond. Food is your classic American fare. I've been to other Yard House locations too and I think the food quality is consistent. The ahi crunchy salad and chicken nachos were both good. Kids enjoyed their fries. One of the kids complained about the steak being way too salty. My kid really liked her grilled cheese sandwich. I like beers on tap so I got their House Beer Flight to pair with my meal. I really liked the honey blonde ale, hint of honey on a light ale. I also liked the Belgian white, that was my second favorite out of the house beer flight. The lighting is a bit dark, made it hard to read the menu. There was World Cup soccer games playing on every screen. Lots of people hanging out there to watch the game. Looks fun if you're into watching game in restaurants.

    This review is being left solely to commend Anthony on a great, white-glove service and to talk…read moreabout how great this Korean BBQ Cheesesteak was. Came on a very busy day before Mother's Day and the wait time was accurately 1 hour from the time I was quoted. Next time around I will call ahead or put my name on the list beforehand *pro tip for anyone booking a table on a busier weekend I was not expecting to enjoy this cheesesteak as much as I did but man, I will be coming back just for this sandwich.
