Wow!!! What a fanatic night! I was meeting up with a friend to watch the Lions Game and he suggested CJ Mahoney's. It's the half way point between us so it was perfect. When I arrived he was already seated in a booth with the game ready to go!!!!!! It was a packed house for sure, so we got lucky. On Lions watch games they raffle off a jersey! How cool is that?! Not only is this review for the overall experience, but the steak tips were out of this world! I've been on a Steak tip kick and I thought I had found the best around already but CJ's tips are #1 in my opinion and the zip sauce OMG! For a little extra I added sautéed onions and mushrooms. The serving size was large enough to split, but I was keeping these steak tips all to myself! lol I will most certainly come back for a game watch!

Went during the Lions game, expected it to be super packed but there were seats at the bar as well as open tables. Lots of TVs ensured being able to see the game no matter where you sit. The energy with the patrons is great, and the service was amazing. Lauren was our waitress and she was the best. I couldn't decide what to get and she helped me to choose the chicken tender pita. It was AMAZING!!!! The pita tasted so fresh. We also got the spinach dip. They had coke products which is meh. But amazing service and good vibes!! Also ample parking since all the other businesses around the place were closed.

Over the last 4-5 months I have developed an odd obsession with their chicken dinner. Months ago, when I first started ordering it, it was the most amazing thing I had ever tasted. You got 2 chicken breasts- cooked to perfection, rice pilaf, topped with caramelized squash and zucchini. It would be enough for me to eat half and save half for lunch for the next day. I was ordering it through doordash 2 to 3 times per week, sometimes picking up but ordering through there for the discount. Yes, I'm aware that that is very easy to cook myself.. but that's how good it was. Plus, through doordash you save 20% all the time. About a month and a half into my growing obsession, they must have hired a new cook. The chicken became dry, I noticed the portion of rice getting smaller, and the vegetables were no longer cut into bite-sized pieces (like this ), but instead long, thick chunks. No biggie, I guess. I just started ordering the double rice portion (which comes out to be what a regular portion USED to be). And I cut the vegetables in half. More recently, each time I order it, I noticed the portion is smaller and smaller. I just ordered it last night and... they may as well just say one chicken breast because they cut them so small that if you put it together it equals one... maybe. I'm just disappointed that I have told so many people about this meal and by the time they get around to ordering it, it's going to be a kids size meal with two bite-size grilled chicken fingers, vegetables that are bigger than the pieces of chicken and 3 lil pieces of rice buried underneath. They'll think I'm crazy for even raving about it. I'll still give it 4 stars because at one time it was amazing and everything else I've eaten has been good. Plus, I don't want to be one of those people who only comes to leave a negative review. I've been meaning to leave a positive one for a while now. I'm hoping it's just a cook thing and it will change soon. I understand if it's because they're offering 20% off the meal through doordash, so they want to cut down the portion size. However, I would rather pay full price to just have the regular, full size portion back. Now I have to pay $3 for double rice and $3 for double veggie just to get what used to be the original portion. And hope the chicken is so dry that I choke.

An early week day lunch,after golf simulator action. Service was good. Shrimp tacos - very very good. When menu says 2 tacos - they mean 2 tacos - not even a side of chips. Added in 1 draft Bud lite. Bill came to $23 with tip. A tad high I thought.

Great place to watch the game. It's a bar but the food is not bar food. I enjoyed the steak bites and they were cooked to my liking. Bar service was slow as it was a big bar with only one guy working the bar. UPDATE: I went back for a second try as any great yelper would do. This time I had the ribs (dry seasoned) and they were tasty and tender. The biggest difference was the service. The person working the bar was polite, friendly and attentive. She just returned from a personal vacation to Florida so maybe she was in a better mood than others or they need to simply get the rest of the team working like her. Great service gets you another Star.

I have been here several times for lunch. I am a creature of habit and order the Santa Fe Salad. It's very good the dressing is a spicy ranch. Service is good too.
