    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.

    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

    Kale gold salad

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cheesesteak egg rolls

    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.

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

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

Here are my go to- Fig and Pig flatbread absolutely delicious if you want something filling but not heavy. I also enjoy the nachos which I have shared with my hubby, because it is a lot for one person (in my opinion) or at least for me, lol. If you like deviled eggs, the fried deviled eggs are a favorite of my husband. Duck wings are really tasty, I have enjoyed them a few times and they are great every time the sauce is really good. My husband also loves the classic burger with extra bacon there is a extra charge- but so worth it. I also enjoy the pot pie on cold winter nights it just hits right. As far as drinks go, they make a great Manhattan and the Old Fashioned is made with Woodford Reserve one of my "Go To Bourbon Whiskeys" and it is really nice with a steak, they have a really nice ribeye and it is always cooked perfectly. I had the Crown Apple Mule and I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it was refreshing without being overly apple-ee. I have had many salads here, but I always ask for the honey- lime vinaigrette dressing it is tasty and really goes on any of the basic salads except for the Caesar for obvious reasons, but it is even good, at least for me on the shrimp salad and even when I order the salmon instead of shrimp, its nice. You really can't go wrong with anything here, the menu isn't huge, but what they do, they do well, the staff is really nice and friendly and they pretty much can make any drink you ask for and if you like Bloody Mary's they have them and they are fantastic, I like mine with extra lemon and a bit spicey.

Very festive place, the bagpipers go around the bar and play and stop at each corner, which was great then they took a break. Then they put the jukebox on then the bagpipers started to play and the jukebox was still on. Service was very good.

They do not take reservations, but for a table of five there was two left and they had one ready for us. Took my corned beef home, added some pickling spices in it and it was delicious! The bathroom was extremely tight. They did have a handicap bathroom, but everybody was moving around like we were on a chessboard.
