Nothing to write home about. Food was solid, customer service was great as well. Utensils weren't included with my togo order though. $31 for this meal plus side salad included. Chill, bat vibes. read more

Love all the MJ spots... it's so good .. a lot of times live music and other stuff going on... check it out

Place seems to be getting old and it shows. They had a live band which was pretty good and the chicken sandwich I had was certainly something I would order again, but they ran out of Heineken 0, so I was forced to drink diet soda, which was flat and about 3.50. I think I may have gotten a free refill, but it was pretty nasty. Service was nothing to write home about, either. Worst part about it was my friends boxed up half their pizza to take home and they accidently left the box on the bar counter while we were chatting outside for just a few minutes, and when they went in to pick it up, the server threw it away instead of waiting to see if they came back, which they did. No compensation was offered. Paid for a whole pie just to have half of it thrown away. If my friends want to come back again, since they usually do alright here, I would give it another try, but I would never come back on my own. read more

Been passing by this bar and grill for YEARSSSSS and decided to give it a visit one cold Tuesday evening. Its everything youd expect from a bar and grill; the mood, the aura, the televisions, etc. The hostess that greeted and sat us and the rest of the staff were really friendly. We ordered pizza to start and I had a burger as a main. Both dishes were large enough to share. The pizza was really good. The burger couldve been better, but it was good for what it was. All in all, it was a good experience. read more

Long weekend stay cation at a nearby hotel to celebrate being discharged from my neurosurgeon's care.. They recommended this place! Great pick! Typical sports bar with a large selection to choose from. Despite the large crowd we were seated immediately and greeted by our waiter - Juan. We told him it was our first time here and he guided us through our picks. Fried calamari for appetizers. My husband and I shared the fish & chips and the rib entrees. Talk about large portions. Ended up taking home half the ribs and our friends turkey burger. Sad to say we were so hungry we forgot to take pictures. read more

Overall has a decent experience here for a Sunday evening. The tables were filling up quick after we were seated so the manager came to help the server by getting our drink orders. It was a chill and family-friendly atmosphere that evening, which was exactly my boyfriend & I were looking forever. However with how big the bar set up us, I can see it getting quite crowded when popular games are on The Guac & Chips app was fantastic and I wanted more even after the chips ran out! 10/10. I ordered the Chicken And Broccoli On Angel Hair. I would rate it a 6/10 because the sauce was nice but the oil in it drenched the noodles and the broccoli. The chicken was a bit bland on their flour, however, when mixed with the white wine sauce it was much better. My boyfriend got the mesquite chicken tacos and rated them an 8/10. The chipotle mayo had a good kick to it! He was a bit confused when it can't with French fries as a side but he didn't complain too about having read more

I've given this place at least a half dozen tries. I honestly don't know how they are still in business. food is terrible. McDonald's down the street is literally 10 times better. today I ordered a chicken panini..... there was no sauce or dressing or ANYTHING on it. Just a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of bread. for $16. unreal. read more

This place was delicious and looked like it was from a Hallmark Christmas movie. The owner was present and very engaged with all customers, loved to see that. There was an incident where we got another tables food- and didn't notice until after we took bites- and they were so good about handling it!! We all laughed and they got our correct plates out super quick. Would totally recommend to people in the area! read more

MJ's is a small, local bar and grill chain. This location had existed under many different owners. It is a good alternative for people in the area who prefer easier parking and might not want to drive into urban Asbury Park for a trendier place. Their bar area was a big square, and they actually had plenty of seats. They have decent craft beer on tap. Although it may be true that most of their menu consisted of the usual bar fare, I ordered an offbeat kale crunch salad option. It turned out to be pretty decent, even though I wasn't expecting it. The service was just OK. I had to flag down the bartender any time I needed something, and it wasn't the best place to socialize. Overall, it's a straightforward bar and grill with a few better options. read more

MJ's Restaurant Bar & Grill - Kale gold salad - Pizza Near Me - Neptune, New Jersey

I used to be a regular here and liked their bar food. Wasn't looking for a five star meal but their wings, pizza and sandwiches were very good. I have never seen a place decline so fast over the past year. I kept going back out of habit and hoping it was just a blip The pizza went from being very good to awful.. I had a chicken sandwich last week that could be the worst I've ever had. it's sad because I really like this place but just doesn't work anymore. You could tell by the size of the crowd as well that I'm not the only one that feels this way. If you have to go stick with the wings, they are still pretty good ....let's hope this particular MJs gets back on track soon read more

This place ain't it. Food is low quality. You can tell the fries were made with old oil - smelled so bad and I had to pay an extra $1 for them. Husband got a steak sandwich which came out as an open faced sandwich. Steak wasn't edible and he didn't like the seasoning. Inside isn't even nice.. dark and noisy. Service was ok but lackluster. Horrible experience. Felt like a waste of money... couldn't wait to leave. So many regrets!! read more

Good vibe and food, although my husband wanted some sour cream for the nacho plate and we had trouble getting anyone's attention ( they weren't that busy). read more

Food and service was good. I had a standard cheeseburger and it was cooked exactly how I asked.

After a long day at the mall, dinner options in unknown territory seemed a challenge. I asked 2 complete strangers for recommendations, one a vegetarian who hardly eats out, and both immediately sent me to MJs. And now I know why. You see proud residents will send you to the best their neighborhood has to offer. Old school, nothing fancy, ordinary looking joint from the outside. Sports on several screens, table and chairs worn but well kept. A homey feel. The bursts of flavors began with the appetizers. The wings were just right. Hmm.. even the salad was all gone, fresh and crisp. The mains??? Fried fish (flounder I believe), steak and burger were ALL raves! Yes, I am an everyone's plate taster, lol. The steak had to be re-done, but the second time was a definite hit! I am in this neighborhood about twice a year. No need to "figure out" where to go anymore. read more

Decent quality food, very good service. In the front it can be a little loud - sit there if you want to watch the game. If you want conversation, I recommend sitting in the back. read more

The wings here are really good. In general, I feel like ordering takeout slightly diminishes the quality of food but the take out wings here taste exactly the same as they would if I were to dine in. I feel like they're a tad bit pricey. I paid $22 for wings and french fries. But I also haven't ordered takeout in years so maybe the prices went up in general. Not sure. I would def return for their wings. read more

I had my 3rd retirement party at MJs in Neptune! Absolutely perfect food drinks service and price! Everyone had a great time! Ty

Good especially the Thursday night burger special but a few loud drunks they have at the bar that talk so loud you can hear them through the parking lot out of route 66 they need to flag them and make it more of an acceptable environment for everybody else read more

I've been eating at/from MJs in Neptune City for a very long time. However, the last year or so of ordering has not been too pleasant. I usually place orders over the phone or online and every single time my order has been wrong or missing items I ordered. The very last time was this past Saturday. I spoke to the Manager and was advised that due to the mixup which involved me having to return back to MJs for a missing item as well as when I got home the item was wrong that I would be refunded due to the inconvenience. I really hope that is the case. I enjoy the food there just not consistent. read more

We visited for our first time on an incredibly busy night, but the hostess and managers did a very good job of getting people seated rather quickly. Our server was on top of things even though we were a large party, and the food came out relatively quickly and was solid. It was too cold to sit outside but it did appear to be a nice space. Parking is a bit tight, but nothing to worry too much about. We will definitely go back next time we are in the area. read more

I don't often write a review so in order for me to put pen to paper you have to leave me with quite an impression. I have been going to MJ's ( Neptune) for quite sometime and never had a problem with the food but Sunday left me wanting. I ordered a sausage and pepper sandwich and upon arrival it looked okay but once I took a bite I was sorely disappointed. It was the worst sausage and peppers sandwich I ever had. I opened it up and found it was anything but sausage. When I order a sausage sandwich I expect it to be an actual sausage but it looked like a hotdog. Now I know it wasn't a hotdog but it was the worst replica of a sausage you could have in my opinion. It was processed meat rather than an Italian sausage. I also believe the peppers and onions were the frozen variety instead of fresh. I told the bartender and she was great and took it off the bill but I am questioning the decision to put it out there in the first place. On a tangent note I ordered it from there Sunday football menu and chose it because I thought there wing special was expensive. They were charging 17 dollars for 12 wings ! What kind of a football special is that? read more

My kinda place! Good beer and good food. The appetizers were great, we decided on cheesesteak egg rolls and chips and guacamole. For dinner I ate the BLT panini. It was amazing and I love their chipotle mayo! I love the laid back, sports bar vibe and all of the food options. I will definitely be back. read more

Food: The food was just a-ok. The meal wasn't bad but it wasn't anything spectacular. Just a place to stop by and grab some food- there was a lot of options so it would cater to a group of people with different tastebuds. Cost: The meal totaled up to an average cost. A place to go for a night out with friends to grab some drinks along side burgers/fries/etc. Environment: There was a live band playing as we entered the restaurant. The restaurant in general felt like a 'watering hole' for the locals. A very home-like atmosphere, bunch of booths, bar seatings, etc. Service: As some other reviewers stated, the service was a bit slow. Even though I was able to make eye contact with a waitress, it was a while before we were even given a menu to browse. At the time, the restaurant didn't seem that busy so my only other assumption was that they may have been understaffed. Uniqueness: Besides the great lunch/drink deals that happens during lunch time or special days, this is just your average restaurant. Come by if you want to grab some burgers/fries/wings/etc. but don't expect anything exceptional. The live band is a nice touch and makes the environment a little more livelier. read more

I'm not sure how this can really go this wrong. Our server was lackluster and I know that there's a shortage but she never came to check on us. In fact, she would peer over my friend's shoulder to look at our table and then she would turn around and walk away. Never asked us if we needed anything, didn't offer another round of drinks, it wasn't until she brought the check that she gave us a round of water. There were other servers/runners who checked in on us more. The food was bland, really greasy. I wouldn't come back but to each their own. read more

Tried last night. I would skip this place. Reasons: - Dark and gloomy - The entire staff looked miserable. Not one smile anywhere. - Waitress had no personality. Was not friendly at all. - we had their soup of of the day, clam chowder, and it was not good. Extremely salty and not tasty. I could go on but why bother. Obviously the management here does not care. Skip this place. read more

Great casual place. Food always good. Friendly staff and patrons. Good music and good live entertainment

We stopped in with my mother in law the other day. Convenient to nearby Seabrook where she lives. Typical, noisy sports bar type place. Friendly server, a big table with uncomforable chairs. My back was barking after an hour. We all ordered different things. Buffalo wings, chipotle bbq wings, fish tacos, a BLT. The wings were really jumbo as advertised. I cannot recall seeing larger wings. Impressive. I enjoyed my chipotle bbq wings. I felt my son's buffalo wings lacked oomph and sauce. Fish tacos were good with a spicy slaw but a non homemade guacamole. BLT came on impressive thick cut bread, a nice touch. Fries and rings were ordinary. They were very "dry" as if they had been sitting out for a bit before being plated. So, a nice place with some good food, good service. Three stars for the food and an additional star for service. read more

MJ's Restaurant Bar & Grill - After feeling the urge to eat something I knew I had to go to MJ's Pizza highly recommend a good all-around Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Neptune, New Jersey

I was pleasantly delighted how good the food was. Gluten free options on the back of the menu that was way more than salad with grilled chicken. Chicken parm, pizza and so much more. Escarole beans and grilled shrimp made perfectly with olive oil, garlic and a hint of fresh lemon. Made just like my Italian family makes escarole. Extensive regular menu and great bar food enjoyed by my family. Huge bar with plenty of TV's. Food arrived quickly but trying to find our server to get the check took way too long. We arrived about 5 on a Saturday night and the place was empty but by 6 it was packed. I like eating in the bar area booths as it is away from children. read more

Where else are you going to go? Might as well spend a night at MJ's Big bar with tons of TVs filed with booths and high tips to accommodate your tailgate. Large dining areas surrounding the bar. Our friendly server, Brian, was quick with our drinks but everything else was slow to come. Calamari to start, my friend with a Flounder Po Boy and the Big Ruben for me. The daily special of Maryland Soft Shell Crab sandwich looked good but I'm in for the beef. It's a huge, open face sandwich, of which I took 1/2 home for a midnight snack. Easily for two but that they warn you about. The food is good. With live music most nights and a DJ spinning 80s on Wednesday, we had to come back to see what that was about. Dead. No one on the dance floor and 3 packs of people at the bar. No action and nut much fun. The music was the best part. I'm sure we'll return for some late night adventure but not expecting much in the way of speed. read more

NEPTUNE: MJ*s Pizza Bar & Grill Neptune is a sports bar with really good food and a fun drinks list. Their covered outdoor area is dog friendly and one of only a few that we came across that has a TV outside! Although the Yankees game was on, we had a great time. read more

Myself and three others got there around 6 for dinner so the place was pretty much empty and quiet. Two of us split the littleneck clams app which was delicious and I had the lobster bisque which was way too think for a soup, it was almost like a cheese sauce. Service was good until it got busier and it was like pulling teeth to get our waiter to come over. They always have good drink specials and the food is consistently good. read more

I frequently dine at MJs typically with no problem ever. However Tuesday I grabbed lunch there with my boyfriend. Amidst the covid 19 pandemic, outside dining was introduced. Everyone was friendly and appeared very happy to be back outside amongst other people. An elderly white man felt the need to approach me and my boyfriend ( African Americans ) & tell us his opinion about the murder of Rayshard Brooks by a police officer. As this is a very sensitive topic to the black community, especially currently with the protests worldwide, the last thing I wanted was to go out to eat and have a stranger standing over my table telling me their opinions on it. It was a very awkward situation as everyone around us heard, waitresses included, no one stepped in. We were very uncomfortable and it completely ruined our dining experience read more

Food is vastly over priced. $2 domestic drafts all day every day makes up for it. Staff is pretty chipper.

As a person who has spent his life in the food industry, I have great admiration for this small chain. Imaginative cocktails, excellent specials, moderate prices, and tremendous consistency. The service is unsophisticated but generally good to very good., If I have a minor bone to pick, the live entertainment is often subpar read more

Their cheesesteaks leave a LOT to be desired, and I mean A LOT. Not much meat, and even less cheese. I've had better on the Boardwalk at half the price. Burgers looked much better. Perhaps it was the size af the party I was in, but if you can't handle the crowd, hire another cook. Should have known I would be disappointed by the lack of cars in the parking lot. This was during lunch hour. This was their Neptune location read more

Went to MJs for happy hour with our monthly group. We like to volley around to different places every month. I have been to the one in Tinton Falls also. IMHO opinion this is the better of the two. The staff is always friendly as well as the crowd. Atmosphere is low key & the food is above average for most of the bar & grill time places I've gone. I ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna & it was excellent! Prices are reasonable & they do have a happy hour although the food included is only until 6 pm. I'll be returning very soon. read more

Came here as a meeting spot for a lunch with my parents and fiance. The last time I was at MJ's was years and years ago when I was young. I'm generally a fan of some traditional, American bar fare and MJ's delivers just that. If you want high quality, sit down food, this is not the place. If you want to sit at a bar, watch the game, and eat some bar comfort food, this is the place. I went with the buffalo chicken wrap, and I also had a slice of the thin crust pizza. The wrap was tasty and stuffed with buffalo chicken, but for some reason had just a TINY bit too much of a charred taste for my liking. That being said, it was still a good wrap and I enjoyed it. The thin crust pizza was great, and I highly recommend it. I give this place a solid A-OK. The food is good, not great, and the atmosphere is good, not great. Nothing remarkable, but a very serviceable place to grab some good bar food and a drink or two. read more

Ordered the deluxe pizza, hot spicy shrimp which were over cooked and chicken wings that were extremely dry. Only thing good was the beer.

Nice to dine indoors close to home now. With my wife we ordered: 1. Pear salad 2. Large special pie (green pepper and sausage) 3. Traditional wings well done (buffalo sauce on side) The service was impeccable and the food very good. Salad was cold, crisp and tasty served with an excellent dressing. The pie was perfect among the areas large availability of thin pizza crusts. The peppers were thinly cut and cooked beautifully on the pizza in the pizza oven. The sausage and cheese were of such high quality the pie had zero grease. I loved the tomato sauce, but I suggest you more evenly spread the sauce on the dough before adding cheese or add a bit more sauce to cover the dough more evenly. Right now the sauce tends to gather near the crust while the middle part of the pie is a bit dry. The 12 wings were brought as ordered and excellent. Well done , dark and meaty. Just get a better blue cheese for the generous helping of carrots and celery. read more
