Food Quality
Pros:
"Main courses were all delicious. I highly recommend the 'Pistachio & Pecan Crusted Salmon'."
"Their spring rolls are sooo delish."
"Nachos were really good and perfect amount to share."
"The food was great! I had a burger, mom had a really nice looking salad she enjoyed and my sister had chili which looked delicious."
"For starters the food was amazing. I enjoyed their buffalo wings with garlic. I also enjoyed their signature MJ burger."
"The fried calamari is fresh and light. Not frozen and does consist of tentacles and circles."
"The chicken parm pizza is awesome. Crusted salmon is good too."
Cons:
"The boneless wings were overcooked because it took some effort to cut them up."
"Whatever is added to make it spicy was way over the top. To the point I couldn't even eat them."
"They really don’t care about the quality of their food."
"The burger was ordered to be well done but came RARE, bleeding and all."
"The pizza...I was surprised at how bad it was."
"He ordered the salmon. DRY and sad."
"The food was terrible. I went into both of these restaurants wanting to like them, but so far nobody I've been with has been impressed."

"Service was incredible! Our server, Dominica was simply fabulous! Attentive, efficient, friendly.....she truly made my night!"

"The service, Debbie, was great. The food was delicious."
"Our server Mark was so nice and attentive, he was excellent."
"Our waitress was fantastic."
Cons:
"I told the waiter and all I got was 'Sorry'. No replacement, no credit, just too bad."
"Every time I go there I have a problem with one of the bartenders (the old guy sorry don’t know his name). He’s rude, nasty and talk behind your back."
"I was refused service. I was told the kitchens closed even though I seen people being served food."
"I have to say been here a number of times and the food is just OK the service usually we get a waitress with an attitude."
"However, the service was one of the worst I've experienced in a long time."
"When you walk in the manager doesn’t even acknowledge you or greet you, he just goes ‘two?, okay.’ Not welcoming at all."
"We waited over 15 mins for a waiter/waitress and nobody came."

"The restaurant has a warm atmosphere which is nice during the drab fall and winter days."

"Entering the establishment reminded me of a down home sports bar and grill."
"Great atmosphere & friendly staff."
"It has a very down-home local feeling. Warm ambience."
Cons:
"However it appears that the bar did not let them play loud... I also don't have a good set-up for entertainment where tables are right up against the band... making it more of a Supper Club..."
"For my non smokers or people who have lung issues, you may have to wait a little until smokers clear the front door."
"Flies all over the place I had to kill a few because it was driving me nuts."
"Disgusting. Bugs everywhere. Bar smells like dirty moldy rags."

"Great local place. Food is great, service is great and prices are very reasonable with generous portions."
"Food is competitive to chain restaurants and I would say even better than some."
Cons:
"The mixed drinks are small & pricey, but excellent."
"But 3 drinks and a hot dog for $40 is ridiculous."
"Was surprised to see a service fee on the bill."
"So be prepared to pay extra for using a credit card."
"Three items... $60.00 without the tip. Absolutely ridiculous."
"Even if it was little inconveniences they are extremely overpriced for mediocre meals/small portions."
"MJ's has basically been a local joint, but with fairly expensive food for what it is and you never ever get a free one no matter how many times you've been to the bar."
