OK.. I AM a fan. and I won't change my review but I have lots of ups and downs on this place.
We went every evening that we stayed in the VOC. I have many points to make so I will start with the bad and end with the great.
The bad:
The service is VERY inconsistent. Sometimes there is a server, sometimes there isn't. They may transfer your tab to the waitress without telling you and just pop at the bar and play with their phone. I will say that everyone was kind and professional though.
The chips suck. They taste very stale, the salsa isn't much better. Just don't order it.
You have to walk in front of the outdoor "patio" to get in the door. It's a glorified smoking section so there is no outdoor dining on a great night.
Occasionally they will have live music after 8pm. It's ALL over the place and is geared toward a younger crowd. The crowd there the week we were there consisted of bikers, senior citizen, bluebirds, middle age and 20 somethings.. most local but some on vacation.
The good:
Free Wifi, ask for the password.
Inexpensive booze and food.
Friendly, Casual.
Great burgers, chili fries and chicken quesadilla.
Lots of TV's. If they can get your home town sports team on the TV they will.
Next visit there we will for sure be back!
PJ's was an oasis in the dessert......in an area surrounded by tourist traps, PJ's is a locals only bar that makes you feel at home. I admit that I only came here initially because I could walk here from my hotel, but man was I glad that I came here. PJ's has a decent food menu that is not overpriced and they have 18 beers on tap (!!) and I think the most expensive one was $3.50. Theres numerous TVs around the bar and there are pool tables in the back if you want to take a break from watching the game. Needless to say my buddy and I had such a great time here on Friday night that we came back here on Saturday to enjoy the cheap food/drinks while taking in the free, live music. Thank you PJs for giving me an out from the ridiculously over priced bars in the area!
Review Source:Probably not a destination but a good neighborhood bar.
Tuesday is tequila day and they had a bunch of tequila specials and $5 house margaritas. Never one to turn down a margarita special, I had two. They were decent, worth $5, probably not more. They had a quite a few beers on tap so all the guys I was with were happy.
The menu is pretty big but definitely nothing special. The burgers are pretty average, not great, but certainly not bad. My friend did get the quesadilla and I think it's the way to go, you get to choose the fillings and the choices are good. My father in law said one time it was just way too much cheese, but I think the more fillings you get the less cheese you get, so go for more.
The pool is nice, it's a dollar a game. I have no idea if that's a good price or not but my husband and I had fun playing.
The crowd is pretty chill, at least on a Tuesday. Nothing crazy going on.
I'd honestly give it 3.5 stars if that were an option.
Skip the chips and salsa.
They should be free if anything.
I had a sneaking suspicion when my friend ordered it as an appetizer to share, but I thought, hey, if they're charging $4 for it, then it must be at least as good as all those Mexican restaurants that give it for free.
WRONG.
The chips were old and stale, and the salsa.... it might have been homemade, but I think the chips just ruined it.
Good beer joint, though.
The chips got better as I drank a couple pints. Â (Beer goggled stomach?)
I stopped in for lunch after a round of golf at the Oakcreek CC. The staff recommended PJ's as their restaurant was closed. Laura the bartender was very nice and the French Dip sandwich was excellent. Good bread, beef and au jus. The fries were great also, good natural cut type fries not the crunchy coated fries so many bar/pubs serve. I would definitely return. Good happy hour specials also.
Review Source:Got into the Village of Oak Creek late and was hungry - went to a couple of apps on my iPhone and PJ's kept coming up. Â Pulled into the parking lot and it was almost empty on a Monday night. Â Well boy am I glad my wife said 'I'm hungry - let's go in'.
From the time we opened the door till we left almost two hours later, not because of slow service - which it was not, but because of the food, friendly service and just the layed back ambiance of the Pub.
I am a fan of 'Longhorn Steak' and they had the best Jalapeno Poppers - called them 'Prairie Peppers' - well these knocked their socks off, really awesome. Â Then we got a couple of the Burgers, I had the 'PJ's Classic' and added cheese and bacon. Â Told our waitress 'I don't like Red Onions, leave them off' and she came back with 'How about the sauteed onions?' - perfect choice.
The Beer was perfectly COLD a good variety on tap.
This place is walking distance from our family condo in the little Village of Oak Creek. It is a nice little neighborhood bar with tons of beers on tap and some really good food. I personally recommend the onion rings and the potato skins. Prices are excellent, staff is accommodating and kind, and the establishment is well kept.
