Atmosphere
Pros:
"Of all the P.J. Whelihan's pubs, the Medford Lakes one is my favorite. The private party room is quiet and secluded from the rest of the place and the outdoor area is really nice and relaxing."
"A great local chain to South Jersey, and the Medford Lakes location puts its own unique spin on the brand with its log cabin feel."
"Very nice atmosphere."
"Great vibe- very very cool outdoor seating with fire pits and garage doors to let the sunshine in on nice days."
"Love love love this place. Totally handicapped accessible log cabin place. With huge patio and fire pits."
"Stylish pub, good for sports and outside seating with stone fire pits."
"The atmosphere here is good as was the service."
Cons:
"Everything is sticky with crumbs on the table, where they seat you."
"Very noisy suggest adding some sound reduction panels. Trivia is also hard to understand and he has a microphone."
"Needs to be a little bit more cleaner."
"I asked to be transferred to a different table because they sat us outside of the main restaurant and there was significant sun glare."
"This is a larger location for this chain. Quite noisy bar area which spills out even into the more secluded area near the fire where we were."
"Additionally the table we were sat was dirty. We cleaned it ourselves with the rag and spray left there."
"Don't go with your family during a game because the bar can get pretty loud."

Cons:
"A burger meant to be Medium was rare; the ribs were awful and cold; the chicken tenders were solid as a rock and cold."

"Even now, I don't think I'll be back just because the food isn't worth the price."
"Food however is very average."
"The steak looked like burnt dog meat. It was soo tough that nobody touched it."
"The only thing I ordered which was the crab dip with pita bread I took one bite and nearly threw up."
