Sign on door says 10pm, Yelp says 11pm. We came in at 9, were turned away (grills were shut off). Won't be back.

I had the bacon cheeseburger and my wife had the shrimp pesto pasta primavera and both were delicious. The burger was perfectly done and was a gourmet half pound patty that compared to Red Robin's signature gourmet burgers. And the shrimp were massive with a plate that could serve 2 easily. read more

Will never try to eat there again ! Terrible hostess! Good thing their making so much money they can turn away a party of 8!

I had been here before and thought the food was good with really reasonable prices so I wanted to come again because of the variety on the menu. We did have a bit of a wait but enjoyed a drink at the bar with fun bartenders. Ordered Chicken Oscar with Hollandaise and was disappointed. I suspect that the Hollandaise was out of a can and lacked flavor. My companions had Prime Rib and said it was great. Our server noticed I hadn't really eaten my dinner and asked if everything was okay. When I looked a little uncomfortable she said she would like to buy me a dessert. I really appreciated the gesture. I will come back again to give it one more try. read more

Favorite place to eat out! If you go for dinner, you might have a wait, but it is worth it. You will get more than enough food whatever you order. The quality of food is supurb. Also, it is very affordable. Great place to eat on a summer Saturday night outside beautiful patio and live music. read more

M J Steven's is a great restaurant. I have had lunch and dinner a number of times and the food has always been great. The Friday fish fry is really good. They have a huge patio in the summer. It is great to site outside and enjoy dinner there. They also have live music outside in the summer during dinner. read more

We have driven by countless times on a Friday night and the place is always packed. As we were traveling north yet again, this time on a Thurs. We decided to stop. So glad we did. Perfect amount of patrons. Nice bar. Not loud. No waiting to seat. Great bloody mary and our plates were full of terrific food. Looks like an awesome brunch menu too. We will definitely stop again on one of our many trips by. read more

Awesome food! Awesome service!! Love this place for lunch or dinner. Can't wait to try their Sunday buffet!

We had the cream of duck with wild rice soup. It was flavorful and delicious. We definitely rate it the highest. Then we had fried walleye fish and fish fry. They were both very fresh, flavorful and delicious. This was one of the best meals in our 14-day cross country drive. Today, we ate for lunch the leftover fish that we kept in the hotel refrigerator. The breading, of course, is no longer crisp. But the texture and flavor of the walleye and the cod fish fry were just as fresh and tasty as yesterday. They did not smell fishy at all after one day. They must had been really fresh when the restaurant cooked them. Great. read more

Reservations just guarantee that you will eventually get a table. The food and drinks were good. The server was excellent and I was impressed how she handled tables of 8, 10 and 14 persons all by herself with no assistance from other staff members. It is a shame that the manager and host staff have not figured out how to manage the reservations and seating them in a timely manner. We waited a hour and half to be seated and asked to speak with the manager. The manager could not make the time to speak with us until we gave the bill back to the server and asked her to give it to the manager and have the manager come and speak with us. (By that time we had been in the restaurant for over 3 hours) Every reservation that was waiting for their table was told by the hostesses that the people at their table were finished eating but were sitting there talking and there was nothing they could do. Literally, every reservation was told this because I listened to the hostesses say the same thing to each customer that approached them. The manager stated she has been with the restaurant for 23 years. I have eaten here 1 other time in the past and unfortunately the wait time for a reservation is consistant, well over an hour wait. We will not go back and it is unfortunate because all that needs to be corrected is properly training the hostesses on how to do their job and be able to seat people in a timely manner, but if the manager can't accomplish this how can you expect teenagers to do it. read more

Food was wonderful and service was great! Love how it has a king Author theme to the place. BEST RIBS I ever had! We will be back!

Excellent food, great fish fry and outstanding servers at the bar and tables too. A favorite place for locals. Give it a try!

In Wisconsin our summers are too short and I have always loved this place for its yummy fish fry and huge outdoor seating area. I love to sit outdoors for dinner. The last time we dined here we asked for outdoor seating and were seated under the tented area. We noticed that no one was seated outside of the tent area. Sitting in a tent IS NOT SITTING OUTSIDE! So disappointed. This used to be my absolute favorite fish fry place but the fries were too salty and the fish was a little greasy. It still tasted pretty good but not worth the drive from Brookfield anymore. Too bad. Bye bye MJs. I won't be taking the trip out there in the future. read more

Food was good, but the location is a bit out of the way for most people. 1 app. 2 rib dinners and 2 drinks = 64.00.

Very hearty portions, exceptional service and great atmosphere. First time for Friday Fish Fry with a family of 5. While we had a 45-minute wait, the hostess was very friendly and helpful as she let us know where we were in line. Our children had the chicken strips and waffle fries, and they told us it was the best they have ever had. My husband and I had the fish fry with their secret recipe fish coating, homemade coleslaw, waffle fries and rye bread. Excellent fish- we just found our new favorite fish fry place. Plus, their old fashion was tasty too! read more

The duck soup was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends! It's a great restaurant to have a dinner date at. read more

The staff was very pleasant, I had the cream of duck soup which was really good. The prime rib was great, but maybe a little heavy handed with the seasoning, other than that everything was enjoyable. Hod a lovely time with my wife. Nice atmosphere. read more

Great fish and chili. Been stopping here when we pass by for 25 years. Great family owned restaurant.

My wife and I went to this restaurant for the first time on Sweetest day. We had a server named Suzanne who was just a delight to talk to. She definitely seemed to enjoy her job which made us feel very welcome. We both had the Prime Rib. It was so tender and flavorful. We both agreed it was the best Prime Rib we had ever eaten. We also had stuffed mushrooms caps as an appetizer. That was very good too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. We will definitely be back in the near future. read more

We go to MJ's a lot and always receive good service and quality food. They have a large menu with many good choices. They also have a nice outdoor eating area in the summer. read more

Really good fish fry. My girlfriend and I went on a Friday, around 8:00pm. Be prepared to wait! We will definitely be back. Check out the beer garden. read more

Came at 5:30 on a Friday, waited 30 minutes for an outdoor table...well worth the wait! Enjoyed a beverage in the beer garden while we waited (Bloody Mary was decent, well garnished). I ordered the dry rub ribs and was shocked at how tasty they were. Took my knife to cut them apart and they fell apart, so tender. Well spiced, now I am curious how they are with bbq sauce. Husband had the fish fry- good fish fry, exactly what you expect in Wisconsin on a Friday night. read more

We sat at the bar and had a drink and food. The burgers and chips/fries were so good. Huge portions and friendly bartenders. Decor a bit dated but the service and food was great. read more

My mom used to work here when I was a kid. We used to eat here all the time back then. Was good then and is still good today. Their Friday fish fry and waffle fries are delicious! A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. read more

My favorite fish fry, hands down -- I even enjoy the leftovers the next day. The portions are extremely generous and I feel that the price is reasonable. It's out of the way for me, but when I go, I always enjoy it. And it's always worth the wait. read more

If dining here you must try the Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer. Phenomenal! Even those in our party who are hard to please were impressed. Very tasty. I had the Salmon BLT which was good, the lime tarragon mayo added a nice flavor. Staff was also very friendly. :) Will be back to try other items. read more

We were driving through and stopped due to the reviews on Yelp. The reviews were spot on!! Everything was amazing! Service was great- bartenders were friendly and attentive. We had bloody Mary's (we are pretty picky about our bloody Mary's!) and they were good. Not too spicy for me, and spicy for my husband. We had the brunch buffet and everything was great- especially the crepes!! read more

This place is awesome. It was such a nice and fun atmosphere. Coming from Chicago it's always nice to visit a small town and get that added touch. Our server Steph D was amazing. Super friendly and down to earth. You should ask for her!!! read more

We have been to the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast and South East . MJ'S is number 1 on our list. The bartenders Lisa and Terry are truly fabulous. The food is five star. The atmosphere is also wonderful. Please, do yourself a favor, no matter how far away you live. Make the trip. read more

Best Fish Fry in South East Wis. without exception. Been going there for 20 years and have never found one better.

Best Fish Fry. Very delicious and you can expect the same quality of food and preparation each and every time. They also have a great Sunday Brunch. I've been a few times outside of Friday and have never been disappointed by any of their other offerings. read more

The fish-fry is amazing. The fish is not your traditional beer-battered, cinnamon-flavored, but homemade breaded Atlantic Cod. Once you are seated the service is great & the waitresses are very friendly & attentive. Their wait times, on the hand, are ridiculous. We have been skipped and had to wait extra time with no compensation for the additional (30-45 minute) wait time. A few times we were told that "first available" meant that everyone that picked an area to sit got seated first & the "first available" got seated after that. Their table turning is awful. While waiting in their bar areas I've seen tables stay empty for 10-15 minutes while people were not being seated. Over-all if you have no where else to be on a Friday night M J Stevens is a great place to be but if you're looking to get in & out in a timely fashion - you're better off going someplace else. read more

This is the worst place I have ever been to. They offer 3 things for lunch and 3 for dinner??? The worst food around. We have tried them a few times. Fish fry is horrible. Don't waste your time or money going here, very expensive. McDonald's had better food and a much larger selection. UNBELIEVABLE read more

Great food and great service. Usually a wait for the Friday night fish fry- but SO worth it!

Great Food! Great Atmosphere! The steak was so good, so tender it just melted in your mouth. I would definitely eat there again!

Amazing fish in a classic style! Feels like an old english pub with all sorts of Wisconsin classics! Friday fish fries can have over a 45 minute wait, but trust me, very worth it! read more

Way overpriced for the "quality" of food you get. I was expecting way better food from what people who like the place have told me. I had the chicken Oscar and the chicken was extremely low quality with lots of gristle (seemed like a frozen patty they pre-bought not fresh) the crab on top was definitely NOT fresh at all, it was imitation crab and the crab on my husband's pasta dish was definately imitation crab as well. Speaking of my husband's dish it had absolutely NO flavor, I didn't believe him until I tried it myself and was astonished that it didn't takes like *anything*, I don't think they seasoned a THING on that dish and he ended up putting lots of salt and pepper to even make it palatable. I can't believe a place that costs that much money puts out such low quality fare. Service was also very slow on a not-so-busy night. Would NOT go back! read more

This is my favorite place to eat!! !Nice cold salads, homemade soups and deserts. Excellent food!! Sometimes for Friday fish fry, you can't even get in the place! I have never been disappointed.Love it, love it!!Can't wait to go there again!! read more

It's a bit of a wait, but the fish fry is totally worth it! I drove 45 miles just to enjoy the food and atmosphere. Great date place.

BEST fish-fry around. Not greasy, huge portions, and super friendly waitstaff. However, we did miss the outside music entertainment this past summer. Hoping it will be back next year! read more
