    Food was good but not something exciting. We ordered the Hot Lobster Roll and the Cajun Swordfish. The Lobster roll will benefit from adding some pickle or tartar sauce to it. Just giving the lobster chunks in hot buttered bread is not what we envisioned.

    We had a 545 reservation. The 4 of us were seated right away and greeted by our server not too long after. The services was great but you good tell that our server was uncomfortable in the fact that our food took forever to get to us. The restaurant was not crowded when we got there. We ordered our appetizers around 15 minutes before we ordered our dinner. We received our soup and salad before our appetizers. Sushi came out the same time as our salads even though we ordered that with our dinner. Which was not a big deal because our server asked at what time we would like it to come out. Our appetizers did not come out until around 715. The clam strips were very chewy and had no taste at all. Our dinners did not come out for another 30 mins after we were done with our appetizers. My son’s grilled cheese was burnt on one side and he only ate 1 half because the other side was black and the sandwich looked like it only had one slice of cheese on it. One person in our party had the steak and shrimp skewers and the steak was over cooked and the shrimp had no seasoning just very plain. The French fries tasted like they were sitting around all day and then just reheated. Overall it was a horrible dinner for the price we paid. Very disappointing!!

    Always a great time at PJ'S. We celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Portions are huge and fresh.

    The food was not as good as usual. The broiled fisherman’s platter was tasteless and the fried calamari was rubbery and a bit mushy. My service was excellent.

    Very nice host and staff. Food was not too good. Ordered steak, was very dry with no flavor. We also ordered calamari and it was soggy not crispy. We also ordered shrimp with pasta and it felt like it was microwaved.
