Nice unique set up. Bar is like counter top right when you walk in. We sat around the corner. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us regularly. We both chose salads Mine was the MI cherry chicken salad He chose the oriental chicken salad. Both were fantastic. I'd definitely go back again. read more

We decided to give this restaurant a try as we were in the area and looking for something that had some vegetarian options. The impossible burger here actually tasted great. We did wait a while for it, but it was hot, fresh, and tasted good. I hope they keep this on their menu. The onion rings also were nicely cooked and fresh. Unfortunately, their pickle spears we would never order again. These felt like they were right out of the freezer and they had no special touch to them plus they were extremely dry and overcooked. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. This is more of an overall sports bar vibe. They do have instant pull tabs for lottery, which was fun. We would give them another try. read more

My last night in town before heading home we decided to check CJ's out for an early dinner. Upon entering the restaurant we are greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted, waitress gave us menus, told us about what's on special, and got our drinks promptly. I chose the wings, bone in. Lightly breaded dressed in Frank's wing sauce. Had a side of sweet potato fries, perfect portions. I will be back when I visit this part of Michigan again. read more

Great atmosphere. Food was awesome. Staff very friendly and karaoke night was a blast!

I'm thinking our waitress was having a bad day , Ashley was pleasant to us when we were finally leaving . I ordered my second margarita and received it from the first glass that I drank but the same paper straw and no salt in the same lime just added an extra . My chicken nuggets were cold, our spinach artichoke dip I took home so I could cook it because there was chunks of cream cheese in it that had not been melted. read more

Stoped in for lunch wasn't bad but I've had better wings they were just ok. I drove by 100s of times finally tried it maybe I had higher expectations but at least I wasn't disappointed with the burger it was good great staff also read more

CJs is a good burger bar in Pinconning. I recommend trying the burgers but I've honestly not tried anything else. I've always been pleased with the burgers I got. Waitstaff is friendly. And the place is clean got a nice Up North bar vibe to it read more

Great outside service we were traveling with our dog and we were able to eat outside with him.

Just ordered from cjs sports grill. Big mistake. Food was terrible. Very bland and tasteless. Fries were cold when I got them and very small serving of fries. Also got the fish and chips. Also very bland and boring to say the least. Don't know how this place makes any money when the food is not good at all. Needless to say I will never go and get food there again. read more

Bad experience, from no refill. To hair in food, then trying to talk to owner about hair, he yell making huge seen. Making teenager daughter cry. Offered to pay, he said get out and don't come back. Complain we treat staff bad, and don't tip. Can't tip when you don't receive a bill. Why did he not say leave when we first got here, instead of having small talk with us. When told him about the hair he went off the handle yelling making a scene. Was told to leave, owner followed us in parking lot still yelling, taking pics of car. Daughter still upset asking if we are safe. Begging to leave. Shame on you Cliff from CJ sports bar. Making children feel unsafe in their own community. Food was edible, owner was terrible. read more

Had the bourbon burger and fries with a Moscow mule. Burger was good, fries hot! Recommend asking for a side of the bourbon sauce to dip fries in. Mule was perfect. Server was on her A game! Definitely would stop a second time. Only negative, too many extra items on table. Limited space for our food. read more

Clif and Jessica are about the best business owners I know. I bring my tax clients here for a meal before I take their case. The staff has always warmly welcomed my clients and have never disappointed any of them. The food and the service model industry standards to a level that I have never seen before in my 20 years in the industry. My last client had her steak cooked to perfection and I quote "It was spot on perfect." As a tax pro I would not even consider bringing a client anywhere else because Jessica's kitchen crew and waitstaff never disappoint and deliver industry standard quality without fail. read more

Consistent great service and delicious food. Today we noticed this tribute. We love the club sandwich and fries! read more

Not busy and bad service had to go tell waitress for another drink and then bill she never did ask how are food was. Had to ask her to please take some dirty dishes away. read more

Staff was very friendly and owner seems down to earth. However my 'customer rated favorite' chicken quesadilla left much to be desired. Chicken had no flavor and tasted like it had been boiled. Drinks and cocktails are reasonably priced. read more

Super nice young gal from Midland was our waitress, excellent service, clean bathrooms, bright sports grill "place" (I'd call it more a family eatery - bar wouldn't give it the good word it deserves); owner was a very friendly guy too! Great place - Excellent food! This place scored a homerun as our best "eats" of the entire weekend from Midland to Harrisville. ... I had to remove the bun and the toppings to finish my last half of the burger. I tell ya, with all the toppings this burger was a full stretch to get a BITE! BIGGG! Had plenty of leftovers! - easy to find, directly across from the Cheese place with the mouse; and plenty of RV/SUV parking. We'll be back! Cheeseburger all loaded up and artichoke dip = win win! read more

Nothing too exciting to report here. Just another typical burger, sports bar. Burgers were good, service was okay. We wanted a couple items that the staff informed us they were out of ... With all the other restaurants competing for our hard earned dollars, we probably will not be returning to this location in the future... read more

Good food, good selection, reasonable prices, good atmosphere. Definitely staying in my restaurant rotation.

This is not a fancy place but they get 4 stars for the food and service! We arrived on Saturday at noon after checking out the cheese festival (meh). We walked across the street but they have plenty of parking available but after talking with staff they might get full during busy times. We found a table right away but then the restaurant began to fill up quickly. It's a bar with great food so the noise level was high but not enough to make our own conversation difficult. The sign says they were voted best burger and that's what caught our attention. They do have lots of options for burgers and the rest of the menu didn't look too shabby either. I ordered the rodeo burger ($7.99) on ciabata and upgraded the chips for fries ($1.49 extra and be sure to order them crispy...yum). The burger comes with BBQ sauce and a deliciously crispy onion ring. The burger had a really good taste, not too dry but not overly juicy either. Hubby ordered the pizza burger and he said it had a "unique" taste. He said when we come back, which we will for the burgers, he'd order something else only because the pizza burger was so good he'd want to try the other burger varieties! Service was very friendly and attentive to our drinks. She also inquired how we enjoyed the meal, both during and after. The manager also came by to pick up our dishes and chatted with us for a bit. So don't come here for the decor or an intimate ambience, come here for the food and service! We'll be making the drive from Midland again for another tasty burger! read more

On vacation and looking for a place to eat. It was a standard bar and I was expecting standard food. However when we received the food it was amazing. I recommend the Philly cheese steak. The bun was crisp, meat was very tasty and not chewy. My wife ordered a steak sandwich and was very impressed. The salted Carmel dessert is very sweet and a must order. read more

Good, solid food every time we've gone. We usually stop on our way home from up north or when we stop at Northwoods

The fried mushrooms are delicious. The make your own burger option can get pricey but is amazing. read more

I had a group of friends (6 of us) go there from the casino the morning after, my friend was having a rough go of it while we were there and the waitresses were very kind and understanding about it. The food was amazing! Not to mention and a very good price I paid for 3 of us and felt like I really got what I paid for! Would definitely love to come back to this wonderful environment! read more

Food is okay, over priced for the quality. Pretty good service for the area. Not a must eat, but not a terrible place either. read more

The reviews on this place were right on. Good food, good service, friendly local place--my favorite kind of place to eat. I had the Veggie Crunch wrap--super good. Jalapeño kettle chips give u the crunch and a little spice. The french fries are very good too. Great place to stop after dragging ur mother through Northwoods. She had The shrimp basket which was loaded with nice size shrimp and battered with panko. The third person in our party had the prime rib sandwich which was packed with meat. He ate it all. I'll be stopping here again! read more

Very clean , staff was upbeat and fast , service is great ! Food was pretty good , smaller portions, but...

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The homemade chicken noodle soup hit the spot along with an excellent grilled cheese sandwich. My friend had the (very big) Cobb salad and she said it was delicious. read more

Absolutely love this place! The food is great and reasonably priced. I got the chefs salad and it was loaded with meat, cheese and lots of fresh veggies. My wife got the health nut salad with chicken, cranberries, nuts and cheese. I could hardly finish mine and she didn't finish hers. The staff could not be more friendly or accommodating if they tried. Give this place a try if you're in the area, only a few minutes from I-75. read more

I want to thank all the staff for taking care of us Saturday afternoon while we were driving home from a long trip up north! Your hospitality was above and beyond with our group on your outside deck. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and most of all the hospitality to take care of ALL of us! read more

WORST PLACE TO EAT PEROID! I ordered wings and when I bit into it I found it to be very pink, slimy, and frozen in the middle. Absolutely disgusting never eat here ever!. This was during covid 19 season and a extremely heavy set person was sha king everyone's hand and not one person was wearing a mask nor were practicing social distancing. Bad place. read more

Great build your own burgers. Servers were fantastic. Great prices. I recommend. 2nd time here. Waitress is slow. A bit disconnected. We are disappointed. Burgers were fantastic however. Will I come back? Yes! read more

CJ's Sports Grill - Good atmosphere, great hamburgers. The Sriracha source is amazing. Build your own 2/3rd burger? Yep I did. - Sports Bars Near Me - Pinconning, Michigan

Stopped here on the way down 23. It's a little bit divey but in a good way, and has a decent menu and friendly staff. The chicken is bland (as 90% of chicken in the US is now), but the burgers are good, and the prices are more than fair. Tribute to Mark "Bird" Fidrych on the wall is a nice touch. To the biker gang out of Detroit who parked your Harleys dare-close to our car doors - how were we supposed to know it was "your" parking spot? You're lucky we didn't decide to play dominoes with your bikes "by accident." Jerks. read more

I just left & cannot wait to come back again. Food was amazing, service was outstanding. We showed up just as a large tables food was being brought out & a man I'm assuming was the owner got us all set up while the waitress was busy. Everyone was super friendly, nice environment, bathroom & everything was really clean. 10/10 highly recommended! read more

My wife and I stopped in on the way to the casino for a couple of beers and a bite to eat. We sat at the bar and were quickly waited on by a super nice waitress. My wife ordered a burger and it was fabulous. I got the boneless wings and they were A plus! The owner is very friendly as well. You can tell this a man that not only cares about his customers, but the community and schools as well . He is a big part of fundraising and helping the schools with educational programs too. Great place! We will be back soon! read more
