The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Delicious. A really good sauce also. Not hot or bitter. Cole slaw was pretty good also. The workers were very nice and even put the split order in two dishes and carried them over to us! This truck was at Do It Best Hardware in Ambridge, PA. A way to try their famous ribs without the long drive. My only criticism is it is kind of pricey. $25 for half order of ribs without 2 sides. Absolutely delicious if you love ribs read more

I haven't been at this location in over 2 decades and it seems not a thing has changed. The restaurant has some fun quirky decorations and kind of gives you Jimmy Buffet vibes. The food and service is always good. We were seated right away and our waitress was attentive throughout our time there. I ordered the cheesesteak with the sidewinder fries. It was tasty and the portions were huge! read more

Since the place changed awhile back so has the taste/quality of the food. We have tried lunch twice now and both experiences the same. Pulled pork sidewinder, chicken bites,ribs & sides. Missing the seafood options too. read more

I had the bbq beef sandwich with peppers and mushrooms, the spoonbread, coleslaw, and green beans. Let me just say the sandwich was absolutely fantastic and the spoon bread was also great. Coleslaw was good and green beans pretty decent. I recently had dental surgery and have been having to avoid anything hard and chewing on one side of my mouth and even with that I was able to easily eat the sandwich, it was almost melt in your mouth. Unfortunately, there was no utensils or napkin on a takeout order, for a BBQ place, was hoping for some napkins, but I could've specified or asked. That did not stop me from digging in and eating with my hands because it was so darn good. I kick myself for not getting extra maple butter! Would definitely return for more deliciousness. read more

The food here is beyond fantastic. This restaurant has been around for a long time and there has never been a meal that wasn't good. I highly recommend the ribs but everything is delicious on the menu. read more

Stopped while on a business trip wasn't expecting much. Pretty typical restaurant , large and a large bar. Ordered the spoon cornbread as an app. That cornbread jalepeno bead pudding was delicious. The maple butter puts it over the top. Ordered the ribs and shrimp with coleslaw and sweet potatoes. Food came out pretty fast and service was very good. The ribs are fall off the bone which means it's over cooked. But was good. The sauces were good. The original was not great but the sweet one was very good. The Cole slaw was very good. The sweet potatoe fries were also good. The shrimp were also tasty. Ordered the strawberry shortcake ala mode. It was delicious. A layered cake with strawberries and whipped cream and ice cream. The ice cream was rock hard, wild have liked it a bit softer. All in all pretty good for a bbq joint in the middle of West Virginia/ Pennsylvania. read more

Nice place in Weirton, West Virginia only thirty minutes from Pittsburgh. The interior is nice and has a Margaritaville vibe with neon Andy tropical themes. Four of us ordered their specialty- ribs. The ribs came out fairly quickly and were super tender. My friend picked up his first bone and the meat just slid right off. Delicious. One can ask for a bolder sauce for the ribs, but the house sauce was just fine. Sides included cole slaw, loaded potato skins and apple sauce. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We shared deserts: peanut butter pie and pumpkin cheesecake. Very good. Our server was fantastic. She answered every question quickly and hustled. Great service. read more

My brother has been raving about this place forever, and he finally took us. We were surprised on a Friday night at 6:30 that there was no line as he said it gets packed. The 4 of us were quickly seated and our server took our drink order. The atmosphere is very fun and reminds me of a Jimmy Buffet place. There is an extensive drink menu and the food menu looked great. I had been convinced to have ribs, so didn't really look at anything else. I got the half rack, coleslaw and potato skins (which were also recommended). Our food came quickly and looked great. I love that they put a bowl on the table for bones. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone tender and the sauce was good, but not great. I like lots of sauce, and probably something not as sweet. I liked the potato skins and the coleslaw was good. Overall, I liked it, and if I lived close by, I would get my rib fix here, but I wouldn't drive as far as we did. read more

Haven't been here a in awhile and will not return. Stopped for lunch and husband and I had the fish sandwich. It was very large and ok. Really to much for the bun. But on the way home both myself and husbands guts started gurgling, then rolling ....... We both beat feet to the BR with explosive diarrhea. Guess they don't change the frier oil. Never again. read more

Atmosphere - Very good. The restaurant has a upbeat vibe with lots of interesting decorations. There is a combination of booths and tables. Service - Very Good. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Food - Very Good. I ordered a cup of New England Clam Chowder with a half rack of ribs and the potato skins. The soup was served hot and was delicious. The ribs were very tender and the bbq sauce was good, although a little sparse. The potato skins were great, but there was only 3 and they were small. Overall Value - Very Good. The prices are reasonable and the food good. We drove around 40 minutes to the restaurant. If I lived closer I would make this my go to place for ribs. However, there are other good BBQ restaurants closer to Pittsburgh. read more

This is one of the best BBQ places we have eaten at in a long time. We began our meal with fried zucchini. The sandwiches served with great coleslaw were awesome . Our orders were a pulled pork sandwich and a fish sandwich and both were delicious. Portions are very generous so there is plenty to take home. Tianna was a spectacular server and made sure we had enough of everything during our meal. read more

Our waitress Kayla was amazing. Had reservations on Valentines Day however they only had 2 waitresses taking care of a packed room of tables. Management needs to plan better on a holiday with a special menu. Despite this Kayla was pleasant and attentive. Gave 4 stars because this is the 3rd visit in a row that they were out of French dressing. read more

The food is excellent the ribs are to die for! Can't say enough about how good the food is but take some money with you, like a lot of money It's pricy! read more

Absolutely rotten and keeps getting worse. Came to Weirton in 2021 and I'm a huge fan of barbecue sandwiches , not ribs, but pulled pork or beef brisket. It was actually fairly ok. Not great but maybe a 7 on a scale. Kind of sweet but not too bad. Keep in mind it's the only barbeque place within 20 miles. So not much choice. Then starting in 2022, became disgusting. Sometimes you bit in it and got little bones or hard things. Taste was bad too. My guess is that the place was sold? I'm not sure. All I know is that you must get it "sweet" and they don't offer anything but sweet style, which is not good. read more

Enjoyed lunch at DJ's on Tuesday. It was delicious. Service was great. There were 6 of us and all our meals were great. Fish sandwiches are highly recommended. Roast beef sandwiches along with barbecue shredded chicken were also enjoyed. Highly recommend DJ's. Manager made sure we were pleased. read more

Visiting back home and wanted a staple in Weirton, but I don't think that exists anymore. The customer service is still there but the food quality is not. The menu has changed drastically and doesn't give the same ambiance that once existed. The food quality is not great. The side salad was so small I thought they didn't give me it, but found it in the bag with the bread. The zucchini planks were soggy and lacked flavor. The change in their French fries were underwhelming. The BBQ sauce has changed, but not for the good. Overall, I have heard of the changes not being liked by locals and I can see why. Dee jays has gone down hill and I don't think I'll be spending my money there again anytime soon. read more

Definitely a fun place and so nice to sit down and DINE IN! The restaurant was so clean and staff was super friendly. Our waitress "Mallory" was amazing!!! She graciously answered all of my questions. I had to try the ribs and glad I did because they were outstanding!!! The ribs were cooked just right and meat was falling off the bones.. it was perfection. I liked the house sauce but was more of a fan of the "cannonball" sauce. The fries were fat and fresh - delicious!! The cole slaw was ok - I can take it or leave it. It was fresh no doubt but definitely forgettable. I just expected more bbq type items listed on the menu but still was a great meal.. we will be back. Thanks Dee Jay's BBQ Ribs and Grille! read more

AMAZING RIBS!! I haven't had ribs this good in 30 years. Started with potato skins (really good), we each got a rack of ribs for dinner. The mushroom caps and red skinned mashed potatoes were GREAT as well. If you go, see if you can sit in Taylor's section, she was WONDERFUL! read more

The service is great. The ribs were a little over seasoned (salty) Overall a good meal. read more

Overall not an enjoyable or recommendable experience. Even if you're just trying to order something to go. This place is way over hyped for how mediocre they are. Burgers are ehh. Never the temp requested. The fries were good. Service ehh. Hard to describe exactly why on the service it's more of a feel. I mean waiting 23 mins for someone to slap pre pulled bbq pork onto a bun and load a cup with green beans is a little ridiculous, but the rest of it is just the feeling of condescension from the staff. The sides are AS PLAIN JANE AS THEY COME. For $4 (3 on the menu...) they aren't even worth your time. Basically just a locally branded Applebees. If you want to spend $20 for a sandwich fries(coleslaw) and a vege might as well go to the other side of the freeway and at least get to enjoy your meal. read more

A cool place to eat. The decor doesn't seem to jive with it being a rib place, but the food more than makes up for it. The ribs are tasty, moist and fall off the bone. If you ever find yourself in this part of WV, you should definitely give it a go. read more

I know the ribs are good. My husband orders them every time we go there. But my go to food there is the blacked sea bass! I get it lightly seasoned, I want to tell you, you have never eaten fish this good. That's all I ever order anymore. Their remoulade sauce is fantastic. All in all, they do have very good food and the service is very good too. And I don't think it's too expensive for what you get. Except for the drinks, I think they are a little high. But I drink water anyway. Update 1/05/2023 This review was made a few years ago. They no longer have the sea bass so I don't go there anymore. They sold the business and the new owners are ruining the menu. Even the ribs are not the same! We no longer go there. read more

Food was amazing! Great service from our host and very nice always coming back for drink refills! Thank you so much Dee jays for this awe

I went to Dee Jays today to pick up food. I ordered a half rack of ribs and two sides and paid $28. When I got home I was eating my ribs and they were the worst ribs I have ever had from there and I have been going since I was little. I think that when you pay almost $30 for a meal you should be receiving better quality. Dee Jays should be taking more pride in their food like they did before. Will not be back. read more

Go here for the full rack I tell you! These ribs are pretty amazing. The sides are good, the other entrees are decent, but the ribs are what you come here for! Tender, fall off the bone, perfect tasting BBQ. When in Weirton, this is a must visit. Bring a bib, y'all. Ps- you may be frightened/confused by the island themed decor.. pay no mind, it doesn't reflect on the amazing grub. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious!! Get the strawberry short cake. Omg!!! The pulled pork sandwich was bomb.

We went here for my mom's birthday, and we were not disappointed! Almost everyone in our party ordered the ribs, but I chose a pulled pork sandwich - my boyfriend and I made a plan to split his ribs and my sandwich. You get two sides with the ribs, but most of the options are some type of potato (skins, fries, mashed, etc.). I do wish they had an onion ring or mac n cheese option! The ribs were delicious... they fell right off the bone! The pulled pork sandwich, however, was subpar. The meat near the ends seemed rather dry, and I would've preferred more flavor. Our food was ready very quickly, and our waitress was very nice! I would definitely choose to order the ribs next time! read more

Went to DeeJays for happy hour. The pulled pork sidewinders were excellent and the wings were very good. Very reasonably priced drinks for happy hour. Good food and good drinks and at a reasonable price. We will go back. read more

We have loved this restaurant for years. We tell everyone that the ribs, service, strawberry daiquiri, is the best anywhere. This is our go to restaurant for all celebrations. We love it!! We live a little over an hour away and would travel to have their ribs any time! read more

Fall off the bone ribs! Onion rings were thick and perfectly cooked. The sweet potato fries came with a delicious butter. I loved the food and service, but I couldn't believe adding on 2 shrimp was $5..they weren't anything special in my opinion. read more

We were in town to visit family, and we hadn't been to this restaurant in a long time. We lived right down the road for 7 years, so we'd been there a bunch, so we decided to give it a go. The waitress was good, the wait time was decent, and the food was good overall. There are two places where it went completely wrong, however. 1. The ribs themselves are VERY good. They are tender and very lean. They also give a BIG slab. HOWEVER, their BBQ sauce is AWFUL. More like spicy ketchup, I've had better using Kraft at home. VERY disappointing. They also don't slather the ribs very much - super dry. 2. And more importantly, the prices at this restaurant have gone completely off the rails. We ate at 3 restaurants while in Weirton, and this one was the most expensive HANDS DOWN. We spent $60 at Dee Jays, $44 at one, and $36 at the other. Their food is NOT that good - not by a long shot. We will NOT be back at these prices. read more

Me and my hubby moved here Dec 2021. We have 4 kiddos and are kept busy. I was happy to see a barbeque joint. I'm glad we don't have to drive to Robinson for Mission Barbecue any more. That place is the bomb !! But too far away. We tried it more than once and each time bbq sandwich was gross. You bite down and it grissle and sweet . We hate sweet barbecue! Nasty and they don't even have an alternative to their 1 sauce. Seriously wtf? We didn't think it could get worse overtime because it was rotten to start with. Weirton is mostly boomers and WWII veterans and older people really can't tell the difference so restaurants keep being subpar because they can be and get customers! The staff is nice. But there's a couple female servers that can't take their eyes of hubby's mid section of his dress pants when we go. Sorry girls, he's all mine. read more

WOW! Blown away at how great this place is. Food was outstanding and service was even better. Michelle the waiter is the best, so attentive and polite! Would give this place 10 stars if it had the option. The ribs were the best I've had and they make there own salad dressings in house! read more

We had Alyssa K. As our server and she was great!! The food is always good and the place is nice inside and out.

The fried chicken sandwich with the dynamite sauce is AMAZING. Can't forget the sidewinders with cheese and bacon. The service has always been outstanding. We love Dee Jays!! read more

I have been coming to Dee Jays since 2010. Today was the first time the ribs were not so good. The new management came onboard a few months ago and you can tell on the food. Today we had the zucchini appetizer which was limp and not crispy. On our last three visits the salads have been white and wilted and the fries and potato dishes come out cold. We have by far been disappointed and the only positive experience is from Brit. This is sad since Dee Jays has been such a establishment in Weirton. Hope the experience gets better. It's not the servers it's the product. Additionally, the water had a funny chemical taste to it. read more

Great food the restaurant was very clean and smelled so good. The service was excellent .
