So my wife and I was in Salisbury and I was thinking as we went past DJ's we had not eaten there in quite some time. So we decided to get a bite while we were in the area.My wife wanted the coconut Shrimp. I decided on the wings. I just about got the Lasagna. It's all ways been good over the years. I had a salad to go with my wings. Salad was fine. My wife wanted the sweet sauce for her coconut shrimp but it came with some other dipping sauce. Which neither she or I liked. Her Coconut shrimp were cooked that had it been a piece of meat it would be Well Done. There was no sign of coconut on the shrimp. And the dipping sauce wasn't even good. My wings were cooked to death. I was rolling them in the wing sauce to possibly give them some moisture. They were cooked dry I was having to wash each one down with my beverage. As we sat there talking to each other about how disappointed in our meal. I called our youngest son to see if he and his wife had eaten there in a while. And his first remark was we sure have a the quality of the food had gone down in flavor and quality. Not sure if we will get give DJ's another chance or not. Out waitress was spot on with Tea or anything we needed. A very pleasant young lady. Not sure what has changed. Had they been just slammed with customers but at 4 in the afternoon. read more

Tired of all the restaurants in Mooresville and wanted something different. Salisbury isn't that far so decided to try something new. Dang glad I did! Husband got the blackened chicken wrap and said it was really good. I got the Zombie and the Philly. It was amazing! The meat and veggies perfect, melted cheese and the bread soft and delicious! The Zombie drink...Excellent! Our waitress Raven was great! Told her 1st time here and she gave some except recommondations. She was a fabulous waitress!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back! read more

Food was excellent and the waitress very attentive. Our one bad comment is for the hostess. As we entered the restaurant she never looked at us or welcomed us or smiled; she simply said how many as she was looking at something on her podium. She proceeded to grab menus and sauntered up the isle flaunting her cut off Jean shorts, very skimpy I might mention, placed the menus on the table and walked away. I've worked in food service as a hostess and that's not how you should act!! read more

Crab dip appetizer 10/10! So good! The blackened shrimp wrap was good. The shrimp could have been cooked a little longer (personal preference). They have SO much to choose from on the menu I will definitely be back! The ambiance is a vibe too. read more

Dj's food is always reliable and plentiful. I got a blackened shrimp wrap and literally had to take more than a half home and I always get a side of their pasta salad, which is always exceptional. My colleagues got a lasagna and the other got chicken wings. read more

Food and drinks are pretty good, and the atmosphere is also nice. Service was very good.

Horrible horrible experience. I made a reservation for 30 people in the front patio a week ago. The person in the phone confirmed that we would have the space privately reserved. She said no deposit was required (which I thought was odd). I asked when I would need to place the order for the food (again assuming at that point they would take payment). She said I'd need to speak to the owner Louie for that. I explained that this was for a luncheon immediately following my dad's funeral and we wanted to have basic trays of pasta, pizzas, salad and such pre-selected abs ready upon our arrival from the cemetery. Days and days went by with no call from Louie. Despite my multiple calls to him. At point when I called, the person on the phone couldn't even find the reservation. Then she found it and said it was reserved for 6 people. Far cry from 30 people. On several of the calls trying to reach Louie, I asked for a manager. I was told that they don't have managers and Louie is the only person who could take my order. I live out of state. So since the funeral is tomorrow, I drove to DJs in person upon my arrival today. The person at the hostess stand said that the restaurant doesn't prepare large dishes for multiple person reservations and that they don't even have the trays to do that. (What??) she said everyone would have to order their own food off the menu upon our arrival. She said Louie wasn't there (what a surprise) and that there was no manager (again, what a surprise). As I got more and more upset and began to panic about this last minute dilemma, Louie miraculously appeared from the back. He repeated that they don't prepare dishes ahead of time or have the ability to prepare dishes for larger parties. That was interesting, since the person behind the hostess stand had just told me that they do and can accommodate large parties, but only for parties much larger than our 30 person party. Louie wasn't at all helpful in trying to help me solve this dilemma that he and his very incompetent staff created. In fact he was arrogant and dismissive and very much conducted himself in the unprofessional and offensive manner that I've heard about quite often. My dad must have been watching over me since there happened to be two lovely ladies standing close by who heard the whole thing. They deliver meals for City Meals on Wheels and they also have a catering business. They offered to help me out and have been do pleasant and wonderful to work with today. I'm sure their food is delicious. If you ever have a catering need, I recommend giving them a shot at 7042235379. And I hope no one who reads this ever patronizes this poorly run business by a person who is not competent and very unpleasant. read more

I've never had a bad meal here and today's pizza was fantastic! Service is prompt and the atmosphere is relaxed.

the service was terrible despite them not being very busy. my drink was frequently empty. the server/bartender didn't come back for our orders they overheard me talking about how slow my app was coming out while they were standing and talking to each other the amazingly it was ready instantly. the food was good, but at the end the tab for 2 was $85 AND they added gratuity on for a table of TWO. The vibe was nice inside, but they open their folding doors, and it's next to a busy noisy road. So they really kill the vibe with the noise from the street next to it. I might go back for the food, but I couldn't recommend it to anybody, because the service and gratuity was so ridiculously terrible. 2 stars. read more

DJs is a popular spot but not one I've been to before. We went primarily because they have a well defined gluten friendly menu and it's even marked on the menu which is a very nice feature. I got the pizza which was very good but the whole menu was both wide ranging and tasty looking. We also got a salad which was large and well prepared. As I mentioned, they have a decent selection of gluten free options and take the time to mark them so you don't worry (the fries are not for example, but you don't have to wonder). It can be busy, especially for evenings as it's a popular bar among local students. read more

Ordered takeout -- they have great pizza. I tipped 20% (for takeout) and the young lady didn't even say thank you. When she handed me my pizzas, I said "Thank you," and she responded "Not a problem." Pretty sad. Her tip jar was empty -- go figure. read more

Food is bad. Service is bad. It took over 12 minutes to even be greeted. There were fingerprints on all of the glasses and silverware which tells me they don't clean anything. I ordered a few things but left them due to unsanitary plates and glasses. Trash was everywhere. Please do not eat anything from here. You may get sick. Don't waste your money. And the owner was sitting ,playing a game and watching everyone and didn't do a thing. Horrible restaurant and not worth the price of any of the food. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS!!!! read more

Wife and I were out and about and hungry so we decided to hit DJ's in Salisbury. We've been there numerous times over the years. It was a late lunch so it wasn't crowded. We were seated promptly and greeted by our server. The place was clean and well-lit. I opted for the Reuben and my wife got a chicken Greek wrap. The fries we got were well-seasoned and hot. My chips were exceptional. All crispy with no half raw floppers. Great job. My wife's wrap was prepared well and assembled without everything spilling out when you take a bite. Bravo! Don't you hate it when that happens? She said it was delicious. My Reuben was very good with one small drawback, it was swimming in dressing. The corned beef was tender and delicious. I'll order it again but will get the dressing on the side so I can control the amount on the sandwich. Prices are reasonable and service was good. read more

Visited DJs Restaurant off of Innes for lunch. There is plenty of parking around the side. Seating was relatively easy and service was good until the end. The French Dip had too much cheese in my opinion, on top of the bread. The krinkle style fries were a nice touch and the au jus dipping wasn't salty. The server did a great job checking up on us until the end, when I couldn't get the check. This was the only hold up here. read more

Being a Salisbury native, I have been to DJ's many times. Sadly, I just have never found anything that I enjoy. This visit my husband insisted we try the baked ziti (because I love ziti), but I was let down. I wish it had a meat sauce. The sauce was too sweet for me. The only reason for 3 stars is because my husband really enjoys it, and I like their drinks! read more

I ordered a entire 2 pork chops with a side of fries and broccoli along with the chicken quesadilla for $30 (insane I know right hear me out) the pork chop was dry just pretty much a piece of tree bark (no lie) loved the extra burnt taste and texture it added a real flare to my $30. On to the chicken quesadilla, the bread might as well be a fried pigs ear with a extra burnt flavor who doesnt love this :). The chicken was dry I felt like SpongeBob "WaTTeR" while feeling like Mr. Krabs "ya wasting all me money" . The chicken was tougher than how ya felt 1st day hitting the gym and giving ya card to ya lady. It was also so bland that even Karen wouldn't eat it. She's giving yelling "Giving him his $30 back now!" *Deep breaths* smell that?? Yeah thats the broccoli...I didn't even want to take a bite of this but I will just for y'all... It's so great I bet my neighborhood strays would love it. And you know my favorite part was I could't take it back. Again $30 of food gone But other than that the inside of the look great. It can be a great place to go out with friends and drink but not eat. read more

First off let me say, the food is good. We live out of town and like to go there and eat. We finished eating and the waitress took our money and came back with the receit. She gave my husband a receit and put a note down in front of him and said one of the waitress asked me to give you this. I picked it up and threw it on the dirty dishes in her hand.I told her, we dont do shit like that. That is very disrespectful. She said I dont get involved, but she did when she brought the note over. I told her that this was my husband, dont do things like that. I shook my head and left. I will not go back there because I dont have time for waitresses trying to break up my happy home. I called and told the manager, he said he will handle it. I hope so because the old me, would have wouped her ass and we both would be in jail. I know my husband goes to work and stays home. Someone else might not be so polite. I hope this doesn't happen to someone else. You cant even go out to eat anymore, without some tramp, trying to break up a happy home. That was bold. I am still mad.That is not a club or school, it's a family restaurant. read more

We quit eating there a while back. Just not good. A while back there was some complaints about the restaurant being too noisy to the neighbors. The owner was quoted using vulgar words about his unhappiness. read more

Disappointed. Drove from East Rowan to eat at DJ's tonight. We were greeted at the door and promptly seated. After we were seated we waited at our table for ~15 minutes and were not acknowledged again. No drink order and no server to come by and say 'I m busy and will be with you soon in a few'. We discussed other dinner options near by and settled on Hendrix down the street. The three of us got up and walked to the door leaving our menus and wrapped silverware on the table. We said "we'll see you next time. " to the hostess, that seated us, behind the register. She was very polite as she replied ok, see you later. I don't know that anyone knew we were there or even questioned us as we left. It's a shame, their food is usually very good. read more

Worst experience ever!!!! Douglas the manager needs to get a clue!!!!! I've been in the restaurant business since I was in my twenties and have never had to return two entrees and then be assaulted verbally by the kitchen manager as he stuffed his fat bald face while we were conversing!!!!! Grouper tacos----dead burnt and under seasoned and my second entree was supposed to be be a medium rare chopped steak came out well done!!!! I miss the old owner!!!! Do not visit this place! It's completely trash!!! Betty however was amazing!!! So sorry my dear read more

I came on a Saturday evening and the parking lot was completely full. I ordered for take out and circled the block and came back to find a parking space. Upon walking in, I was "greeted" by a man who was smoking a cigarette. I glared at him but didn't have the guts to tell him there's no smoking indoors. I couldn't find an employee to let them know of the situation and when I left the smoker was still there. There was very loud music playing. I'm glad the take out area was in a separate area with a door. Otherwise it would have been difficult to communicate. The employee who helped me pick up my order was nice. They made sure my order was accurate as it was placed into the bag. While picking up my food I had a partial view of the kitchen area. Most employees were not wearing masks (as mandated by law during the COVID-19 pandemic. The employee who was helping me did not wear a mask or gloves, although a plexiglass divider was on the counter. The food was not as good as I had hoped. The crab and shrimp dip had an oily slick on top and didn't have much flavor. The dip didn't have much crab or shrimp flavor and tasted mostly of cream cheese. The Caesar salad was average. The lettuce was still wet when I ate it so I would recommend the restaurant to try to dry the lettuce more thoroughly. The fettuccine Alfredo was also average. It could have used more flavor but it was still edible. Thankfully the sauce that came in it wasn't as oily as that of the crab and shrimp dip. The crab soup was flavorful and hearty. It was my favorite thing I ate. It reheated well for the next day. I will give this restaurant another try. I will definitely order something different. I would also like to see all employees following safety guidelines to protect themselves and others during this pandemic. read more

Ordered a tequila and it had a bug in it! Told the waitress and she brought another one out. Long story short I was not compensated from the drink they expected me the pay for it. The manager came out and was rude and disrespectful while explaining to me that my compensation was the new drink but I still had to pay for it! Never going back and recommend others don't accept this trash and unsanitary policy! read more

One of our favorite weekend spots in Salisbury. Good food and cold beer. Live music and trivia nights. Nice outdoor/patio sitting area. Note: Only I would probably have this problem being the redneck I am, but when they have bands playing on the patio make sure your shirt has sleeves or you cant sit out there. read more

The food always gives fresh out the microwave vibes. It's not bad but it's not great. The pizza & ranch is good. The crab ravioli not good there's barely any crab and the ravioli is gummy but my expectations weren't that high for the price point. The shrimp scampi is okay it could use more seasoning. read more

This place is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks. They have a lot of awesome cover bands that play here regularly which I think is fun and cool. The service was very prompt and friendly. Our alcoholic beverages were reasonably priced and well executed. We had the fried greem tomatos appetizer which was mostly delicious. I could have done without the roasted corn underneath as it tasted old and chewy. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza which came out in a timely manner despite their business. The pizza was good but typical which was all we were looking for on our night out. I would definetly return as they have a fun vibe, great service, and reasonably priced mixed drinks. read more

First time here as it was highly recommended~I can't recommend to someone else! Place was very clean-large menu selection-I ordered chicken tenders and fries and the fries were very cold! The tenders were like Tyson frozen tenders! After that I thought order a side of onion rings-don't have any-ok sweet potato fries don't have that either. The waitress never introduced herself. Needless to say I won't be back! read more

There aren't a ton of lunch options in Salisbury. Working nearby, I've tried several, and wound up back at DJ's for lunch with coworkers. I'd been twice before and had unfortunate experiences with larger groups, but I figured that with just six of us, it should be fine. Narrator's voice: It was not fine. There are gluten free notations on the menu, but they're few and far between and uninspired. I opted for the Farmhouse Burger with no bun. The menu description is: "10 oz ground combination of beef and bacon, topped with two fried eggs, applewood smoked bacon, sliced red onion, and mayonnaise." The only alteration I made was to hold the bun. I was served a pale patty with just bacon and eggs on top. Upon further inspection, it was a turkey burger. Did someone in the kitchen think I was on a health kick by skipping the bun? And that I didn't want the beef and bacon patty? And where TF did my onions go? I slid the eggs off the pallid patty and had what amounted to bacon and eggs for lunch, for $12. Also, half of my fries were wet, for reasons unclear. Our server seemed to be one of only two working on Friday lunch. She never came back to check on us and only offered refills when she brought our checks, which sat on the table next to ours for several minutes. She seemed surprised that we collected and distributed the checks ourselves instead of waiting for her to hand them out. The server added a 20% gratuity to all of our checks, since we were a group of six. She added a drink to my order that I didn't ask for. When I pointed it out, she disappeared for a moment and came back with two dollar bills, saying something about "voiding the drink would cause problems in the computer." It's worth noting that DJ's has a cashier. A person whose job it is to make the checks and settle the balance. But voiding a drink I didn't order was too much to ask. One of my coworkers examined his check to see that his bill was $15 and the added gratuity was also $15. Another in my party noticed that she had a drink added to her bill, too. One of the women had a side of ranch added that she didn't ask for. So, is something shady going on at DJ's? Or is that incompetence? Some weird kind of Salisbury math? I won't be back to DJ's. Everything about this place is unfortunate. read more

Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!! Got here at 6:30, got food at 8 after having to ask again for our food. Cold and tasteless best describe the food here. It is deceiving to see the parking lot full. It is not because the food is good. It is because people who got here at 4 were still waiting for their food. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! read more
