Inside's pretty basic, they definitely lean towards takeout,
Michael B.

TLDR: As most of the reviews below state, this is 'pretty good' pizza. Definite standout from the sea of pizza chains, but it's a pricey alternative. Placed a medium mushroom-sausage pie order for pickup. Restaurant is pretty basic, a few tables and mostly designed for takeout. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Toppings were fresh, decent cheese and sauce. A cut above a lot of chains. I'm a little mixed on the crust. Nice and doughy with a bit of chew, but overly thick at the rim, making the sauce and cheese pool towards the center. (See the picture, I'm not joking!) Overall, a good pizza but overpriced at +$20 for a two-topping medium. Still, since the quality was there, I'd give it a firm thumbs-up. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

Someone recommended it to me recently so I thought I'd try it. Online ordering was a little confusing. Website looks like it was designed by a third grader in 1998. I don't know why they need my phone number AND email address for the order. After I finished, the site said I'd get a confirmation. Never did. Went to pick it up. Restroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Staff was friendly. Pizza tastes pretty good. Sauce has a nice flavor; toppings were fresh. I have a little issue with hand tossed crusts. I like them, but they never seem to spread the sauce out far enough. A couple of the slices were only three bites. Seriously. Have a look at the picture. That's a lot of real estate that could have used more sauce and cheese. I would go back though. Maybe get a different type of crust.

Order was made wrong.

I normally don't do reviews but I ordered a pepperoni pizza and got no Pepperoni, just cheese. First time trying it and will not be buying here anymore.

Margherita Pizza

Not really a $24 pizza. They charges $2 extra for extra cheese and $2 for extra "fresh" basil. Flavor is okay, but it was a "ready made" crust...not at all fresh. Don't think I'll be back.

Nutty Chipotle with Black Olives
Teresa B.

Sometimes you just want a pizza. This town is full of pizza joints on every corner. Garlic Jim's stands out from the crowd! It's nestled into a strip mall off of 1604 and Hausman, so it may be often overlooked. They are available for dine-in, pick up or delivery and I found out the hard (or easy) way that if you accidentally set your order for pickup and you meant delivery, you can easily call and ask them to deliver with no hassle. We've had a few different pizzas from Garlic Jim's but our favorites are the Cheeseburger and the famous Nutty Chipotle. The cheeseburger is topped with bacon, beef, cheddar cheese, classic red sauce, mozzarella cheese, red onions, Roma tomatoes and drizzled with Thousand Island dressing. I don't think it tastes quite like a cheeseburger but it is tasty. I think if they add some shredded lettuce on top that would be a nice addition. Then there is the Nutty Chipotle. I have never heard of such a thing but it is a very interesting choice. It comes with zesty chipotle pesto that is topped with spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, red onions, tomatoes, and cashews. Cashews, you say? Yes, cashews. They are roasted right on top and you hardly notice them until you taste this interesting crunch from time to time. I add black olives to ours to gild the lily. In the past, we've had the Hercules (all meat) and enjoyed it as well. You have choices on the crust: hand-tossed, garlic thin, and gluten-free. We've tried the hand-tossed and garlic thin and I just can't decide which I like the best. I'd love for them to add a deep dish, but I'll stay happy with the other choices. Staff and delivery people have always been pleasant and accommodating. We don't order pizza very often, but when we do, it's usually Garlic Jim's. It's just a bit different and a good choice in a sea of Papa Johns, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc.

Expensive and not very good. Also took a little too long to prepare when I was waiting with my kids. Nothing special about it at all, sadly.

I decided on the fourth star because I didn't feel it right deducting a second star just because I may have made the wrong decision on a sauce. I got here right about the time they opened. Seated right away and read a book while awaiting a friend to join. Ultimately, my friend stood me up. I was waited on at perfect intervals during my waiting period. This place is nicer inside than you'd expect just seeing it from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. I ordered the Banban and opted for the Smokey Mayo. I also ordered the white garlic fries, which I found bland, which was surprising given the amount of sauce. Fries came out first. I would have preferred the fries come out with the wings, but the wings took FOREVER. I literally finished my fries before the wings arrived. I think the waitstaff knew it took too long given the apology received when the food arrived. Wouldn't do the Smokey mayo again I just didn't like it. Borderline too spicy (listen to the on the menu) for me. The original was okay. As a matter of fact, I think I enjoyed the wings more as leftovers than I did in the restaurant. Overall: it's okay; I'm glad I tried it. I might go back if a friend wanted to try it. I found the $45 tab kinda high for just me. And to the young employee who decided to do her eye makeup while standing behind in the middle is the restaurant but behind the register, I couldn't care less, but some people might find it unprofessional. This isn't Sephora.

Yesterday we went to Perfect Tender to watch the Bears vs Panthers football game…read more I was a bit set back when I saw their prices. I'm old, and my brain still hasn't accepted today's prices of things. We were planning a full day so we just ordered 3 tenders and a small fry. Well, the $13.99 3 tenders was a good deal when we saw the size of the tenders. They were HUGE!!! They were crispy, hot and juicy. The small order of fries would be a family size fry at any other place. I thought they misunderstood when I ordered and charged for a family size. Nope, charged for a small. I saw the family size, yeah bring all your kids and cousins. The Tenders were spicy hot in flavor. 20 years ago for me they would have been perfect. I'm old now and I need to put my ego in check and get medium heat. I spoke to the owner, as busy as he was he took a couple minutes to visit with me. Oh yeah, the cheese stick, don't let the price scare you. It's ginormous. The couple we shared a table with got it and they said it was nuclear hot and the cheese stretch was at least 2 foot. Excellent job Perfect Tender. If you're going for a Bears watch party, go early. Seats are limited to maybe 50-60 I'd say. They do have outside seating too. They are on the corner of Babcock where it turns into De Zavala or turn left to stay on Babcock.

When I went, it was not packed and there was plenty of seating available, we were immediately greeted by an employee who asked us what we would like to order. I got the tender sandwich, my wife ordered the lemon pepper wings and we decided to share a giant cheese stick. Every single one of these items was of great quality and we were incredibly satisfied. Of particular note is the crispness that Perfect Tender is achieving. From the crunch of my tenders to the crisp of the mozzarella stick everything felt really fresh! I would absolutely suggest this place if you are anywhere near it, this is a local favorite for sure.

The Indian Style wings were flavorful and definitely packed some heat, which I enjoyed. The Garlic Parmesan had a noticeable sourness that wasn't quite to my liking. The loaded fries that came with the combo were actually one of the highlights of the meal and tasted great. The Signature Combo at $19.99 felt reasonably priced, but I was surprised by the fountain drink serving. The drink came in a very small red plastic cup without a lid, which felt more like a sample cup than a standard fountain drink size offered at most restaurants. We also tried the Chicken Burger for $14.99. While it tasted okay, it was probably the most expensive chicken burger I've purchased for what was offered. The quality and portion didn't justify the price in my opinion. Overall, the fries and wings were decent enough, but there are a few areas that could be improved, especially the drink service and burger value. I'd give it 3 stars and would consider returning mainly for the wings and loaded fries.

When traveling, I've come to realize that Buffalo Wild Wings is my go-to spot for reliable wings…read moreand plenty of TVs showing sports. Tonight was no exception! I'll be honest, I did go to Twin Peaks first, but the place was overflowing with testosterone-fueled fans glued to the Dodgers v. Padres game). I decided to seek refuge elsewhere. Just a couple miles west, I stumbled upon this BWW, and while it looked dark and closed from the outside, the place was actually wide open and--shockingly--not packed, especially for a Friday night. Unlike Twin Peaks, there was room to breathe here, and it delivered exactly what I was after: solid wings, sports on every TV, and yes, cute and friendly bartenders. If you're looking for a laid-back spot to catch a game without the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, BWW always comes through!

Stop serving customers old tasting wings! This is such a disgrace especially from a restaurant…read morethat's literally known for its wings. I am disappointed from the service I received from this location. I drove 30 minutes to pick up an online order and had to drive another 30 minutes back to return the wings that were given to me. When I first opened it I already knew what was coming. The wings were dry, hard and really small.. come on. It was very difficult to even take one bite. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought it would only be one wing, but it was every single one!! Imagine the inconvenience of having to drive an hour and a half to get the order you PAID FOR, then having to return it because the wings weren't up to its standard. When I explained to an employee upfront about my current situation. I asked for the manager, and instead of coming out to speak to me directly, the manager had the employee relay messages. What kind of management is this? When a customer has to waste their time and gas just to go back there to resolve an issue your restaurant made, the least a manager can do is come out, apologize, and address the situation personally. I asked for any sort of compensation for the troubles I had to go through, and once again the manager had the same worker be the one to tell me that "there is nothing they can do." Again, I asked for the manager! Not for the same worker to apologize and speak on your behalf. If you're inchange, then take responsibility and speak to your customers yourself. The only person who tried to help was the employee at the front. The employee offered me a bag of carrots, ranch, or celery because they weren't authorized to do anything else. I appreciated that very much. But everything else was a disappointment. The food quality was unacceptable, but the service was even worse.

I told the guy behind counter that I'd be outside, so whenever the Waffle was done to bring it out. Well, it never came & I ate the 6 wings that I had. I was expecting to be blown outta my mind with flavors or tastes that I haven't had for awhile, but Nopeeee it was just some average wings & NOTHING Special.
