    Really disappointed with the service inside. I ordered a dipped Italian Beef with cheese sauce inside, to only get my beef dry with no cheese sauce. Went back up to the register to get what I asked for, they took my sandwich and supposedly added what was missing just to see the bread still dry and they added the cheese sauce all on the wrapper and barely any inside like I said twice already.

    Italian beef and sausage combo served dipped and onion rings

    Love the Chicago dog! I've also had the choc shake but not much else. It's my "go to" Chicago dog joint.

    Tom & Jerry's Very…read moredisappointing experience. The food we ordered was not good and went mostly uneaten. The chicken was extremely dry, the fries were flavorless, and the ribeye sandwich was cut into small pieces and was tough to chew. I called the restaurant to let them know about the quality of the food. Alex told me a refund would be issued and said the manager approved it. Later in the same phone call, the manager agreed to the refund and then a different manager reversed course, saying the food would need to be brought back. By that point, the food had already been thrown away because it was not edible. I did take photos of the food in the garbage and will be including them with this review. What was most frustrating was not just the poor food quality, but the inconsistent and contradictory response afterward. I reached out to give the restaurant an opportunity to address the issue and instead received mixed messages and no resolution. Clear follow-through from management would have gone a long way in resolving this experience

The fish fry was good. I would skip the catfish, but the walleye and cod were very good. The bread roll they gave you with the dinner was also very good. 8 breaded shrimp special was also good. Fries were way overcooked and they probably need to clean The fryer. The fries are a very dark color. Service was decent for the bar being packed.

PJ's has a lot of typical tavern fare including booze and fried stuff. Also some things are healthier. The prices aren't that bad especially with the specials they often have so ask about these. Came at lunch and we got seats at the bar. It's got enough room that you could bring a group. There's also more dining on another side so plenty of tables. Has pretty much what's expected at a tavern as far as drinks and food. It's about $5 for the cheapest cocktails, so okay prices. The best one of these we had was the Wheatley Vodka Club, which is ironically pretty simple. It's $11 for the Beyond Burger. This comes with lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Fries are on the side or you can get something else. The rest of the menu is pretty meaty with things like burgers, hot dogs, and the Italian beef sandwiches. Has a lot of things to like here. It's located in a historic building and is one of the more happening places in town. There's even a few things for vegans and vegetarians.

My favorite infusions are butter chicken mac and cheese, the Gyro, butter chicken quesodilla. I really enjoy all the flavors. The Lassi drinks are really good too.

The owner explained the dish to us and convinced us it was a must have. Must have? Yes... MUST HAVE!!! It's a sweet and deliciously spiced dish that Is pretty mild given the explosively fiery name. Delicious texture to the chicken with a light crunchy, not breaded, and the sauce? OMG!!! Travel here from Arizona if need be. The mango lassi was spot on delicious but the lavender smooth? It's from another world that is full of peace and happiness. Seriously... no exaggeration. Come and experience.

The butcher and pit master, showed me the fresh cuts, including organic Amish chicken, seasoned with his distinctive spices, I can tell you it was a hit with the family. I also got the meat and sausage roll and the two meat combo with pork chop and bbq ribs, yummy. The hot food comes rapped with aluminum foil with each hot item getting its own pocket of foil. Like I said, this is Americana, with that hint of nostalgia come a lot of food for a very reasonable price, including home made salads, like traditional loaded potatoes salad, creamy coleslaw to more adventurous, Shrimp Macaroni Salad, and Bowtie Crab Salad. I will definitely have to get some steaks and home made sausages for the grill monster, and might even try some of their fresh habanero cornbread. Man my mouth is watering just thinking about it! The service is nice and welcoming, and the ambiance is roadside bbq shack meets clean and orderly butcher shop, in what looks like a country store with plenty of benches outside to nosh on.
