Loaded tots - a lot of calories but sometimes they hit the spot.
Josh S.

We've stopped here a few times since they opened. We've never been wowed but also never let down either. They have the typical wings, fried appetizers, nachos, etc. you would expect. A lot of different beers on tap. They do have tv's everywhere so you can catch the game while kicking back a few cold ones. We usually do the Loaded Tots, tater tots are my kryptonite. I love them when they're cooked right and seasoned. What takes these over the top is the sour cream drizzle and scallions. These are pretty good. My wife usually wants nachos which I've never been impressed with theirs. They're not bad, just mediocre (although I do like to get the hottest wing sauce and dump some on mine which helps them). The service is good on most occasions but on a few occasions it's been great. We've never had bad service or a bad experience. I think as far as bar food is considered, they do better than most in this area. If you're looking for a fun place to hang out that is consistent, this is a safe bet.

Ordered 20 wings. Korean, barbecue wings and garlic wings ,plus fries . The wings were full of meat and flavor. The Korean were sweet with a little kick. The garlic was very mild. The fries were crispy and had just enough salt. We ordered it to go so they had parking for pick up. All in all very good.

We hit here during happy hour! A little noisy but that's expected! We ordered some boneless wings with hot honey on the side and Pj's Firehouse Chili with(Custom Blended herbs & spices with fresh chorizo & ground beef, slow cooked with red beans, onions & garlic in a fiery tomato broth topped with/ shredded cheddar jack) the chili was meaty and had a great taste! Not sure if The Hot n Honey sauce from the wings killed the heat of the chili but I enjoyed both! I am impressed with the flavor of the Copper Lager it's spot on not hoppy or overly barley! Our server Gisel was very professional, friendly & hospitable had a great sense of how we liked our hot! PJ Williams is a sports bar with a lot of TV's but is also family friendly with their menu.

Visiting my son in Doylestown for a weekend of hiking, gym, football, and pubs. We were watching the early game and had a need to get our assess off the couch. Went to YELP for a nearby spot. PJW was local and looked like they had a lot of big screens, which turned out to be true. Wall to wall big screens, no escaping the games here at all. Kicked the Blantons Single Barrel for a decent price for a decent pour. Was able to take the empty bottle ans horsey home for my next infinity bottle. Thx to Dave the bar manager. Son had two fresh draft Troegs IPAs which he really liked. Loaded tater tots were hot and crispy. Good snack. Great spot for sports, drinks, and bar food.

First impressions do count for something ~ we walked into PJ's, noticed there was no signage directing us to stand there and wait for a hostess or seat ourselves ~ so after awkwardly lingering by the entrance, we decided to just take a booth.  The menu was very promising ~ a little something for everyone's tastes.  Beginning with the cheesesteak eggrolls, they were served three to an order, smaller than the usual restaurant eggrolls, nice and crispy on the outside but...the inside was unidentifiable.  Very liquidity, mushy...they were very unappetizing  and a huge disappointment.    The French onion soup was not a good choice ~ looking forward to the taste of sweet onions that melt in your mouth, it just wasn't.  This too I was unable to eat.  My friend's chicken cheesesteak looked decent although it was a little short on the chicken.    Still very hungry, we ordered dessert ~ the Ghiradelli Chocolate Brownie.  The brownie was a good size, the ice cream was a couple of tablespoon's worth, the whipped cream was nearly nonexistent.     The decor was eye pleasing, the booths comfortable and our server was extremely polite, quick and so attentive.  While the seating area was quite empty, the bar was filled with happy patrons, the walls were  decorated with TV's showcasing every sport and the place was kept spotless.  Unfortunately we wouldn't make a return visit.

Do they put MSG in the food?

No. But some common seasoning salts contain MSG so you really have no way to prevent it unless you ask for an entree without sauce. The other problem is unless you talk with kitchen personnel the servers and bartenders will probably not be able to…

My wife and I went here Saturday night to eat a quick dinner. I got an order of chicken wings 1/2…read moregarlic parmesan and half smokey habanero. You have a choice of wood fired or regular so I tried the wood fired. They were meaty and the sauce was great. The habenera was hot enough as you would expect. The garlic parm had real garlic in the sauce which is great. The atmosphere was a typical American pub. When we first got there it was very busy and there was a group of people celebrating a birthday that took over the whole place. Be aware that it can be very loud and very cramped if there is a big party. Additionally the seating is a little limited. We were at a high table and the chairs had no backs. It was not a comfortable seat for sure. The server was friendly and attentive. She had no issue bringing us anything that we requested. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was pricey for what it is. The wine was $11 a glass for a house Pinot Noir with a rather stingy pour. I would like to see some more affordable wine offerings. The bottom line is Villa Capri is an acceptable place to eat a dinner on a weekend night. However, be prepared for some noise and to pay a little bit higher than you would somewhere else.

I had a very disappointing experience with Villa Capri. I placed and paid for a food order while at…read morethe rooftop bar, but the order was either given to someone else or never delivered at all. After waiting, I called to speak with the manager to explain what happened. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, I was simply told that the order had been delivered and that it wasn't their problem. Customer service is just as important as the food, and in this case, there was no effort to investigate what happened or make things right. Mistakes can happen, but the way they're handled says a lot about a business. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling like they didn't value their customers, and I won't be returning.
