I am not a huge fan of the big open rooms that get so loud you can't talk with the person you are dining with. This is the fourth PJ's location I have been to and probably my least favorite. We were seated at a booth under a TV that apparently didn't have a remote since there were two shoe prints on the table! (See pics) My husband ordered a grilled cheese with short rib and the fries and liked it. I didn't care for the cost of his meal; seemed high. I ordered the loaded tots which were good. I also ordered the French onion soup which was honestly the worst I ever had. I didn't bother to send it back as my husband suggested. It was not a true French onion soup. It tasted like the onions had been boiled in plan water. Definitely not the featured soup they advertise it to be. Stick with fried food and wings here. As a side note all their servers are dressed like Hooters gals on top. read more

Bartender girl doesn't know how to pour a beer. She keeps giving me beer filled with 1/4 of the top filled with foam. Then it settles way bellow the rim of the glass. I ordered a light beer that shouldn't have had any foam. No food ordered yet. It looks like fast food I could get at Mc Donald's. read more

Large draft beer list....had my first black IPA. Reasonable price....round of 4 drinks (3 craft beers and a bailey's for $21) Came for dinner too...typical bar food with a twist. I had a California turkey burger and substituted fries for 1.99 instead of chips. Right next door to holiday Inn express, which is why I had multiple visits during my work trips. read more

I didn't notice until now, but one of the managers at PJ's (Chris W) reached out to me right after this incident and apologized for the mishap that re: the bar tender giving herself an additional $2 tip. He offered to resolve the issue ASAP which I appreciated but at this point it'll be more trouble for me to rectify. I doubt my review hurts the establishment but at the very least maybe this will discourage any staff from doing this in the future. read more

A gourmet experience? Absolutely not. A much better version of Buffalo Wild Wings? Absolutely. Nice craft beer selection and a menu with a lot of choices to find something that works for everyone at the table. At the top of the list for me is just the fact they have shrimp in addition to wings with all of the sauce selections as the center focus in the menu. read more

Wings and Fries - they were meaty and they came out SOOOO Quick! and they didn't even taste like they were sitting around. The playmates, i mean models were very nice and friendly. All in all it was a great experience. Try not to go after 5 on a Friday night. We've tried twice for some reason and both times the wait was over 40 minutes. The last time a local radio station, I think WZZO was there. IDK if that's good or bad for you. But it definitely is worth you checking out. read more

I really wish PJ's well in this location. I work nearby and have witnessed the continued turnover of restaurants in this location from Bennigan's to Paddy's to vacant and now PJ's. It's refreshing to have a bar & grill available at this location to stop at after work for wings and a beer. PJ's excels at beer, wings, and appetizers. They have decent beer specials each day of the week and have a relatively good variety of craft brews for the type of venue they have. Their wings are good - well, put it this way - they're the best choice in the Schoenersville Rd vicinity. The regular menu items are a bit bland. We've been here a few times and there always seems to be flub-ups on what we order. The quality of the food isn't so great for the price, either. First visit I got one of their salads. Nice presentation, but they didn't put cheese on it. This was maybe 1-2 weeks within their opening, so I wasn't bothered. On another visit last week, my boyfriend and I both ordered the bison burgers. They were ok. Fries were just ok. I got a few bites into my burger (medium) and the inside was cold. Hm. Yuck. Sent it back and got a replacement in a take-out box. Server was great about the whole thing, so there was no issue. It just makes me leery to actually order anything besides wings, appetizers, and beer here in the future. One huge positive about this place is the SIZE. If you've been to the one in Allentown, you know it's generally crowded and crazy. This location has a very open floor plan that's awesome for large groups. So, big thumbs up for that. read more

I was really super impressed with their draft beer menu. They had a great selection of at least 20 different drafts ranging from 4% abv all the way up to 11%. Good stuff. Aside from the beer, it's a lot like any other chain restaurant. American bar food, kinda like TGIFridays. I noticed a trend with the waitresses that reminded me of a Hooters, but maybe it was just a coincidence. We had a large party, and got good, quick service even though the place was pretty busy. They were even raffling off beer swag which is always fun. I would definitely return. read more

This was one of my strangest eating experiences I've had at a restaurant... first off, my fiancé got ribs and fries, and by the time it came out to us, it was lukewarm. I got buffalo chicken dip, and the chunks of chicken in it were dark brown, so i assume it was rotisserie chicken, which is unusual for buffalo chicken dip. Lastly, i got an "Italian lemonade" which is Tito's vodka and lemonade, and honest to god it tasted just like a glass of vodka with a splash of lemonade, it was ridiculously strong. read more

I haven't been to this restaurant for a long time. I am a single diner usually and I had the most awesome experience tonight. I had started a weight loss program and wasn't sure what to get. My server suggested the Keto Bowl and she accommodated some changes to the order and it was delicious! Nina also refilled drinks frequently and brought my to go order without me asking with the check. I really appreciate excellent service and will definitely be returning as I work in Bethlehem. I also had no idea how many locations there are. There is one near my sister in Malvern. Thanks for the great service Nina! read more

Good beers, decent garlic wings (only if you ask them for well done). Waitresses at tables pretty spacey, don't really listen to you. Number one complaint: Went there for a while to watch games, however came to a head one Sunday when I went in during the second quarter to watch my Browns game since they boast a full NFL ticket ...the manager would NOT accomodate and try to find a tv to put my game on. They had 13 tv's with the Eagles and 13 others with the Steelers. She told me she's sorry about the "TV situation, but the TV's are all set. The people who got here at 1PM (gametime) got their seats and tv's and they cant change them now. " I found 4-5 tv"s noone was even watching, they still refused to put my game on. I have never encountered that in a real sports bar in my life. Gave them a LOT of business...not anymore. If you're an Eagles or Steelers fan, you'll basically get your own personal tv. If you're a fan of any other team, you better hope they are playing either the Eagles or the Steelers.What a joke. read more

Food is mediocre, has gone downhill over the last few years. Karina is an excellent server which is why this review got more stars than it deserves. They need to fix this TV already read more

Just wow! My waitress tonight was so amazing. The place was packed, but she was calm cool collected and attentive! She found out it was my birthday & came out singing. Food was great as well. Definitely coming back soon. Thank you Dalia!!! read more

Going out for dinner I expect good food, good drinks, and fast service and our server made sure that's exactly what we got. Toshiana took care of my family and myself, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She answered any questions I had, made sure our glasses were always full, and that we were happy with our meals. We hope to have her again next time we come in. read more

Probably the best wings in Lehigh Valley. And they have tater tots. Who can turn down an order of tater tots?? The Bethlehem location has more to desire than the Allentown. Good spot for watching the big game. read more

Dining Date April 3, 2015 for lunch. Food is only slightly better than fast food. Wings were good but not worth bragging about. Kids Mac and cheese was Kraft out of the box. Beer selection is excellent. I would recommend for happy hour after work, but take a pass for a meal. read more

Another solid experience. Devon took care of us exceptionally well. Thank you

Stopped in here for lunch with my brother and pop on a motorcycle ride to the area to visit an Indian dealer. This is a much better location that the other pjs in the area. The place is huge and has a large outside patio. The food is great as pjs always is and the drinks are cold. We had no complaints with our orders and the staff was attentive and friendly. If I'm in the area again for a ride I will certainly come again. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area. There is plenty of room for large groups as well. read more

This place needs a managerial makeover. We sat down and my husband ordered a diet coke as I already had a beer from the bar from our wait.....waiting and waiting....she forgot the only thing we ordered! My husband ans I both ordered burgers. The taste was ok but the buns were big enough for burgers twice as large. I had to peel most of mine away. I asked for a side of blue cheese dressing....SHOCKING....she forgot that too. My husband had fries with his burger and asked for a new bottle of ketchup as there was hardly any left in our bottle...the server walked away and brought back the same almost empty bottle! I had potato chips with my burger... wait, not so much chips as potato crumbs....you should be ashamed to serve that on someone's plate! Take some pride in the food you serve! The service was LAME. I should have left no tip but that goes against my principles. On the brightest note....the beer was OK. This place seems to be in a downward spiral...used to be good....just not anymore. read more

The food was not good at all. We ordered several appetizers, the ones that were available (several were not but we didn't find out until the waitress came back to tell us) and the quesadillas were the only decent thing that we had. Most ordered burgers which had no taste and we only about 1/2 of it because the beef had no taste. Out of the 7 or 8 kids items they only had 3 and we found that out after the waitress came back 3 times to get another option. We ate inside and they properly spaced the tables. read more

Culture shock compared to the old Tilghman/Broadway (Allentown) location I frequented many times years ago. This is a sprawling, modern sports bar with a very wide open floor plan. It gets pretty loud even if it's not packed. Booths throughout and around the perimeter. Very large bar. Tons of beer options, most of which I've never heard of, but that's not a bad thing because most of the new small brewery beers out there today blow away the traditional standards. I know Chimay (Belgium) & though pricey, it's good and they've had one sort or another every time I've gone to this PJ's. The are 7 buffalo wing sauce options now, and the 3 or 4 I've tried were all excellent. The Sesame/Garlic is outstanding (it's more sesame than garlic). The standard hot buffalo sauce is very good too. The thing is you can choose any of their sauces on everything from wings to buffalo shrimp, buffalo chicken sliders, several different chicken sandwiches, including the unique Wicked Chicken Cheesesteak, etc.. The Cheesesteak Spring Rolls are a surprisingly tasty appetizer and the Ahi Tuna entree is excellent (served with jasmine rice & veggies). What can I tell you, I'm shocked I've rambled so much about this place, but we've been there several times and they've consistently come through. I'm not even a fan of most sports bars, but I do love sports & this is a nice place to enjoy a slew of different games. Disclaimer: I've never done anything close to a late night here, but it's a cool atmosphere & the crowd has never been an issue on weekends during the day &/or early evenings anytime. Lots of families, groups, sports fans & people either stopping in after work nearby or traveling on business & staying at the hotel next door. read more

Food and drinks where good. Our waitress Nicole rushed us out cause the wanted to close out at midnight when the place is open until 2am. At least transfer for us over to another server, but nope, you guys are done! read more

This place does not take reservations... bummer! Food is good, prices are very competitive. There are TVs everywhere, which is convenient if you want to catch the latest game. Surprisingly, cocktails are good too. Public is very young, like high-schoolers, which is sometimes surprising. read more

My appetizer, Cheesesteak Egg Roll a was mediocre at best; it tasted as if it were frozen meal freshly cooked. Only reason I'm giving it three stars is because of the exceptional service I received from my waitress. Hajaar deserves 5 stars and a great tip, as she received. read more

Great food.! Great service. Beware of the Nachos: huge. Great all around family place, too. I would certainly bring my kids. read more

Pj Whelihan’s - Killer. Nachos. Unbelievable - Sports Bars Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Just a very poor experience. Sat at the bar and waited 5 minutes to be noticed despite 6 employees circling the bar. After finally getting a menu and a drink, my order was given to me incorrectly and I waited nearly 10 minutes until I was able to grab someone's attention to get it out properly. I had the food at the end of the bar as if I was finished and yet no one seemed to care. All but one of the employees actually seemed happy to be there. Work in the industry and greatly needed a night out from serving others and was just completely disappointed. Only the food being decent saved this from 1 star. read more

Be very aware!!!!!! This place has an infestation of fruit flies which they were i formed about but never took care of. Fruit is uncovered and handled with waitresses bare hands no gloves. The beer is cold but the food is not great nore hot. I ordered crab cakes with french fries. The fries were cold and old the crab cakes were luke warm and had a strange greasy taste to them. Definitely not worth $20. Yes the waitress are cute but service and food is not. I will not be back. read more

We're not there now, nor do I ever plan to be again. We tried to go there on New Year's Eve. We went there and there were only two other tables occupied. We sat there for three songs on the radio and no one even offered us a glass of water. The server was sitting there flirting with a table of about 8 guys. Tom always gets served when he goes by himself, but when I go there, it is always horrible. If you're female, good luck getting any service at this place. It seems like a bunch of young women looking for a sugar daddy working there. Luckily, they sucked so badly that we walked out and found out how awesome it is at Copperhead Grille!! It's a shame because the PJ's on Tilghman is great. I wish I lived closer to that one!! read more

We can't rate the service because we didn't the even get that far. After being seated by a hostess that was far from welcoming, we sat for about 10 minutes with no attention from the wait staff. When we inquired about our server, we discovered that it was the same staff person that was sitting with a group of young men at the table behind us ... along with 2 other staff. They were looking at pictures on the customers phone. We decided to leave at that point. The wait staff need to be trained/retrained to understand that all customers are important and that a group of mature business women would have left a far better tip than from the young men they were flirting with. read more

I have been to the restaurant many times. Ordered take out today and it was absolutely terrible! They completely forgot to include one of our sandwiches. Nachos was basically a box of chips and a cup of chili. The chicken cheesesteak was dry & cold. The wings were cold and the kickin Korean wing sauce tastes like ketchup. Super disappointed. Called & had to go back to pick up the missing item and they did not even bother to offer to take it off the bill. Not a great way to keep customers. read more

Nope. This place does have the best wings. I will give them that. But there is always something wrong with our order. Today they forgot one of our salads for our lunch meeting. (They did read the order back to us and it was correct, but the final result was still wrong). Last month my salad had bad lettuce. read more
