We had a GREAT experience here! We stopped in for a late night drink/grub around 11pm after the clemson and App state game. We sat outside on the patio. The weather was amazing; the music sounded good out there. and there was just one other couple seated a few tables away. Our server took a good 10 or so min to get to us; but once he did he was AMAZING! We can't remember his name but he was a little older; had a grey beard; and semi tall wearing a carolina gamecocks jersey. He was very friendly; recommended great drinks and food to us. Was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was attentive and checked on us regularly, brought out the food quickly and never missed a beat. The food was your average pub style food; but it was GREAT as well! I got a chicken ceaser salad and it was a 10/10! My boyfriend had the ultimate bacon burger with fries; he said it was good and rated it an 8/10; he said it was cooked the way he wanted it to be; it was juicy and the bacon was crispy. We ordered an IPA and the blackberry hold rock cider; they were great drinks as well! overall we had a great experience here! read more

Service was so bad and what a disappointment for the awesome band that we went to see. Ordered a corona. Sorry. No corona. Modelo? Sure! Sorry out of that. Yuengling? Sure. Went in the back for that set it down and waited on other people with the 6 pack of beer sitting right there. Walked away. Never got a beer and didn't order anything else because no server ever came to see if we wanted anything. So sad for such an awesome venue. read more

Wonderful service and love the TV setup. Great place to watch a basketball tournament. Food was nice and very nice drink selection. read more

AJ's Bar and Grill - Bars Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

We have eaten at AJ's years ago and it was very good. This time it took over an hour for an appetizer and cheesesteaks that came out on slider buns? There were only 4-5 other people in the restaurant and they weren't eating. Not sure what happened to the service in this place, but it was the worst experience I've ever had and I eat out a lot. On top of taking forever for the food, and AJ's not having the food properly prepared because they were out of supplies, it cost $80+ for the bill. We will never return. read more

We ordered a pizza at 6:00pm with a pick up time of 8:00pm. When we arrived we were told "the oven broke" and that they needed to make a new pizza and it would take 15 minutes. Our neighbors did the same thing and their pizza was ready. I don't appreciate the dishonesty. After waiting and purchasing a beer, that should have been on the house, the pizza was tasteless with very little sauce. The owner spoke to us and never offered an apology. Super disappointed considering I do go there every now and then. read more

Just had dinner there, what a nice place! Big, very clean, staff all very friendly and attentive. Great craft beer selection. Our server was really good. Split the AJ Burger and the smoked gouda and chorizo appetizer.. OK the fried pork skins that came with the cheese dip were still popping from the fryer! Fun! The burger was huge and thankful we split it. They were having dueling pianos tonight, sorry we had bought movie tickets already! Will definitely return. read more

This bar was jam packed on a Tuesday night. With that said, we were seated right away. Our waitress was outstanding and spoke to us about Clemson with our son. She was friendly and got us our food quickly. The chicken wings and Chicken Philly were really good! I highly recommend the roasted potatoes for a side. There were TV's surrounding the bar area, so I can't wait to come here on a Sunday for NFL games and some beers read more

AJ's Bar and Grill - Chicken Philly - Bars Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Service was great, food was average. We drove almost 30 minutes to get pizza for the young ones and a variety of food for the adults. My chicken fingers seemed to be leftovers from the night before, overcooked to absorb the grease maybe? The rest of the items were just average. Go there for the beer, not the food. read more

We are in town for my son's fishing tournament & decided to try this place on a whim. I'm so glad we did! The food was great, service was really good (only 2 waitresses were running the whole place) and the atmosphere was excellent! I'd def recommend this place! read more

We have been here several times but this time , I said I would not be back. Food was horrible the wings were fried so hard that I had to use a fork. The sandwich was bad as well. It took forever to even get our food. They were supposed to have live music. The band did sound checks for over 30 minutes then sung two songs and took a break. For 75 dollars I will not be going back. read more

Finally tried this place for the first time tonight and it did not disappoint! Parking was a ample, the restaurant itself is clean and large with plenty of seating, a large bar, and an outdoor area with games, and multiple pool tables. We were greeted by staff quickly and food came pretty quickly as well. The prices were very reasonable. We got out under $50 before tip, including some alcohol. The plates and drinks were very reasonably priced! They offer a large selection of craft beers, bourbons, and a variety of tasty food. We were blown away by the friendly service! Our server was Ashley and she was the best. She was friendly, fast, and so nice. We got shrimp and grits, Long Island iced tea, and the brisket Mac n cheese. Wow, the food was way better even than we expected! You can tell love, finesse, and talent goes into their plates! Highly recommend read more

What a pleasant surprise, I usually go to places that are off the beaten path or holes in the wall or things that are not proven yet just to see how they are. This place was awesome. Good Food and great drink specials for Wednesday. Half off beer prices and two dollar margaritas. I'd say that there was about 140 people in the restaurant enjoying themselves. I had a brisket sliders with a little coleslaw on top of each one of them and I really enjoyed them. Course I had two margaritas also. I highly recommend you try this place if you haven't been here yet. read more

Just passing through and had a great lunch. Super friendly service, brisket sliders were great!

It's a sports bar so lots and lots of TVs. A good variety of beers on tap and all the other alcohol choosing you want. Lots of good bar food choices as well as dinner choices too. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Great place for a few beers and catch-up on your favorite sports. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped here to watch the NCAA women's bball tournament. Plenty of TVs and the service was great. We happened to stop in while they had a great band as well. Reasonably priced good food and friendly atmosphere. We will definitely come back the next time we are passing thru Anderson read more

Gig open space with lots of TVs for sports. Nice long bar on the left and a series of pool tables to the right, with a wide open space with tables in the center. I went with some co-workers. One got the huge burger with pork on top and he polsihed off the whole huge thing. Another got some kind of brisket dish we he also finished. I was told the pizza wasn't that good but I tried the buffalo chicken pizza anyway. It was just OK...nothing special. Same with the margaritas...just OK. Next time I will go with the ol' beer and burger combo and catch a game there. read more

AJ Wings are fantastic! A staple we always get in addition to the peel n eat shrimp. We like the atmosphere complimented with over 30 TVs! A must stop if a local or traveling. read more

We went there for dinner several weeks ago. I ordered the Reuben - it was unlike any Reuben I've ever had - the mystery meat was in strips and super chewy . My husband's burger was cooked within an inch of its life - he ordered medium rare. They were clearly short handed, and our waitress was trying to keep it all afloat. She was wonderful - the food was not. read more

Best wings!! Homemade in house dry rub wings..no need for additional sauce. Enjoy only 4 times a year the dueling piano night. Great sports bar to watch games. read more

Enjoyed ambiance and service. Positively recommend. Food was excellent. Meatloaf sandwich better than wings. Should add grilled onions to additions for build your own burger. Will definitely return! read more

Food was great the service was great and the owner checked on us. The band was good. MoJo on Max

Good service and great food definitely worth stopping by again! Recommend you visit this place!

We are from California visiting our friends in Pendleton SC. So they took us to their local watering hole. This is the best place we've visited thus far on our month long vacation. If you ever make it here for a visit, ask for Ashley, she's super great and everyone loves the southern hospitality and accent! We had pork rhines and potato skins. Very good!!! Thanks y'all for everything!!!! The live music was good as well! read more

I will say food was good, not great but good. And that is where it ended. Service was non existent . And with 26 TV's if you are not watching the home team. They would rather play Andy Griffith , pet shows or the news then let you watch any other game. If you want to watch sports go to Wild Wings TV and staff much nicer. read more

We went on a Friday night to hear a band. When we arrived we were told they were full and we should have gotten reservations. No where on their website does it say reservations recommended or required. Beware. read more

Sports Bar, NO. Would not even put on the World Series on any of the multiple TV's. Most we're playing sit coms. Staff was rude. Left for a real sports bar read more

We just moved to the area and tried AJ's for the first time. Very disappointed with the wings - very dry and tough! Service wasn't great either. Waitress disappeared for over 20 minutes & they weren't even busy!! read more

We discovered this spot on a Clemson football game weekend and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! great, friendly service. Lots of beers and cocktails. TVs showing sportS surrounding the place. Appeared to be a very popular place for locals. It filled up quickly with people gathering after work, parties and celebrations and folks wanting to shoot a little pool. Food was tasty and we will return soon. read more
