MJ's Pizza Bar & Grill

Nice spot with lots of TV for sports games.

This spot is a great location, but has been under many different owners over the years.  Because of this, my family and I decided to check out  MJ's on a Monday to see the classic cars and cruise scene.  Afterwards, we decided to step in for dinner.  Man, that was dumb.

The night started when my sister and I stood at the hostess stand for about 4 minutes while many waiters, hostesses, and the manager made eye contact with us, but still walked past and ignored us.  Finally, a hostess- realizing that, while her job is terrible, she still has an obligation to do it, led us to a table for four in the dining area.  

The dining area is very loud due to the bar and overall poor acoustics.  My family and I were yelling at each other just so we could hear our conversation.  A few minutes after we were sat, some waitress took our drink order of four ice teas and must have heard four waters with a splash of tea.  Finally, after sitting with these beverages for 10 minutes the waitress came back to take our orders.  

Food is fine for what it is- although somehow they didn't cook a cheese burger correctly.  I ordered a entree that includes a  salad that never came.  The waitress did eventually realize this, but I told her to disregard it since I was almost done with my dinner anyway.  

Overall- three stars for the quality of the food and one star for the service.

Not worth a repeat visit.

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.
