We approached with a party of 8 but stated that we could split up into groups of 4 to better accommodate. Once we stepped aside, the next person approached the hostess and she gave away the only open table to the group. Almost every table still had their menus so we knew it would be a long wait. Hostess still said nothing to us. We left. read more

What a wonderful experience I had at TJ's pub recently. Everything was perfect! From the greeting when I walked in, the prompt reception from my waitress (Kim) to the wonderfully prepared Chicken Alfredo I ordered for lunch. Really enjoyed this experience. I highly recommend TJ's! My waitress Kim was so kind and attentive. First class! read more

What a great part of history in Manistee. Hard to believe it was a previous bank during prohibition. Mike, our server, was amazing. The food was great. We ordered greek chicken, Reuben, and grilled cheese. Atmosphere was historical. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

Really good pub fare. Stopped for a quick lunch and tried a flatbread and some wontons. The duck bacon wontons were very good with a nice teriyaki dipping sauce. Would recommend the bruschetta flatbread also. A little heavy on the balsamic for me but everything else about it was really fresh and tasty. Friendly staff in a nice pub atmosphere. read more

Great service, clean restaurant, food was good and not your average pub. Nothing here is fried, which I definitely prefer. Dumplings were amazing and definitely would recommend those. read more

Waited for quite some time for the host to approach us to be seated (and there was plenty of seating outside which is where we wanted to be). Our server was good and our sales were very fresh and yummy. read more

We went on a Tuesday evening. TJ's was one of the only moderately priced restaurants open at till 10pm, and my brood and I didn't get ready till 8:30. I ordered the Lakeside club which was overly sweet from the inclusion of strawberry jam ( I had assumed from the menu that a "Jamin' Jam" would be savory on a club sandwich that already had a sweet element, pear slices), my daughter is picky and went with a half order of their meatballs in bbq sauce. The sauce turned out to be very close to tangy honey mustard which she tried , but did not like. My son and I tried it and found it a strange combo. He ordered the Hawaiian flat bread which not only had pineapple but also a type of sweet sauce ( different bbq?), and we got a chicken adobo bowl to-go for my husband. It ended up being the best of the bunch, but it still had what I would call some odd combinations (quinoa, corn, and guacamole). Perhaps we just made some really bad menu choices. The wait staff was fine. The sidewalk seating was welcomed. I hope Manistee is graced with some better mid-range restaurant options soon. read more

We came here for a late lunch on a Sunday. We had a 30 min wait, and were able to grab some beers in the to go cup and drink while we waited. We were sat quickly, and the service was great! We got spinach artichoke dip and the baguette and oil for appetizers and they were both tasty! Our meals were also all delicious. My mom was raving about the chicken Alfredo, and our sandwiches were good. Would definitely return and recommend! One thing to note is that the menu we found online had prices slightly different/lower than what was on the in person restaurant menu. read more

Tjs Pub - Peanut butter chocolate stout and exterior of restaurant - New American Near Me - Manistee, Michigan

This place was highly recommended as 'The Cheers' in town so we stopped in for drinks on a Friday evening after arriving in town. We walked into chill live music from a duo and the place was packed. Bonus! apparently it was international tierra day (yes, it's really a thing) "International Tiara Day is celebrated on May 24th each year, appropriately on the birthday of Queen Victoria." We parked ourselves at the rail by the front door since there was no other seating available. Everyone was enjoying themselves and having a good time. Local mostly and the service was friendly and warm. If you are in town and want to hang where the locals do, this is your jam. We did not eat, so I am unable to provide feedback on the food. read more

My 3 star rating is for slow service/ not being greeted upon walking in. It takes 2 seconds to acknowledge someone walked in and say "we will be with you in just a few minutes"... instead the staff completely ignored us. Otherwise, the food is tasty and the prices are reasonable. read more

One of my favorite places!! Never had a bad experience.. keep up the good work. The spinach dip is on point!! read more

First time in Manistee and I bellied up at the bar on a Thursday where the apps were half off. The duck wontons with their sweet and spicy sauce were devine! The local brews on tap were fab as well. A great place to hunker down and enjoy! read more

We arrived in Manistee late afternoon the Friday of Memorial day weekend. We were told that Tjs was the place to be, and it was hopping busy! There was no place for us to sit in the main part of the restaurant, so my husband and I found good seats at this little bar/seating are at the front of the establishment. This put us right behind the drummer for the duo that was playing music. You might think this would be loud, but he was using brushes and his partner was playing key board while she sang - they were lovely. We had cocktails and people watched - it was a festive crowd. Our server was friendly and very busy. We weren't sure what we wanted to eat, and when I decided I might want something she never had a chance to get back to us, but I wan't too concerned because there really wasn't much that appealed to us on the menu. TJs seemed like more of a place to grab a drink, maybe watch a game on their screens, and socialize with friends. read more

The ambiance was so good I heard laughing and jokes being made. A really family friendly place. The service is good the server is nice but there is only one server. Also it is the day after Christmas. The food is delicious small menu but that is a good thing. Delious! Overall I would recommend 100% read more

I normally haven't had a bad thing to say about this place until now. The orchard salad is my favorite go to meal. Placed a take out order. Was told they were out of goat cheese. I didn't want a replacement. After opening my salad was very disappointed that instead of spring mix lettuce they used chopped romaine! What's the point??!? When I called them they said they were out of spring mix!! Was told server must not have been aware. I told them that if I was eating in the restaurant and that salad was served to me that way I would have sent it back! No apologies either. Take the salad off the menu if you can't serve it the way it's described! read more

Delicious quesadillas and good service. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere Reasonably priced.

Great menu! I have a hard time picking what to get. I like the European Pub feel. The fireplace on a cold day is really nice and inviting. Good craft beer selection and amazing cocktails! They are usually pretty busy but I think they do a good job for turnaround. We usually have to wait for a table so get there ahead of when you really want to be seated. This is one of the best restaurants in Manistee. read more

Everything. Service excellence, and the kitchen clearly knows the "why" behind the "what" they do. That's the secret sauce. Well done.

TJs is a staple of the Manistee Community. No matter what day you go, it's likely going to be busy. Plan to wait for lunch and dinner during the summer and on Friday and Saturday night during the winter. The kitchen is small and doesn't include a fryer so the array of items on the menu is limited. It's mostly sandwiches and pizza. No fries, so all sandwiches come with chips. I wish there was another option like side salad, potato salad, or something. The food is generally good, but not excellent. The stand out is for sure their prime rib and the best mashed potatoes you've ever had. Don't forget to try the pub prime soup - it's a customer favorite. Not overly friendly staff, but they're polite. It's a difficult place to do large groups because its such a small place. All tables are for 2-4. Expect to sit at a 4 person table if you have 6 people. They make to-go ordering pretty easy. read more

We come semi often. Always lovely setting, historic, *quality* service, *quality* drinks, *quality* food from their kitchen. Not lying, its very good. read more

Our favorite place to eat in the Manistee area. Excellent food, small friendly atmosphere. Service is always great! Great variety on the menu as well. read more

This cozy place on the lower level of the Ramsdell Inn is always packed, and with good reason. Food is consistently top notch and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Prime rib soup and the Americana sandwich are some of our favorites. Wraps and salads are delicious as well, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. read more

Such an amazing place to eat and have cocktails, staff is attentive, the best they can being so busy. The food is always phenomenal. The crafted cocktails are unique and flavorful, a requirement if you stop here. The baked cheese and the bread dish are always just spot on, this is a must try for the Manistee area. Nestled in the basement of the ramsdell inn, the location is dim lit and romantic while still providing a great atmosphere, unfortunately with that came a slight mildew or damp smell, however it does not take away from the almost flawless dining experience! Good job TJ's. Keep it up. read more

Wonderful services, great food, friendly and fast service. Mike was super nice and really took good care of us! The BBQ flatbread pizza was delish. We have the club sandwich and the prime beef and vegetable soup was really tasty. Peach cobbler carrot cake was indescribably delicious! read more

We went to eat here for lunch and although they said there was a 30-40 minute wait, we got in within 20 minutes, and the food was totally worth it. I got the cheesy chicken Philly soup which was amazing and everyone at my table couldn't stop talking about how good their dishes were. On top of that, all of the food came out hot and ready. The building is very cool as well and gives off cozy and comfortable vibes. All around amazing! read more

This is an excellent restaurant! Seating is limited but food and service are outstanding!! We had an outdoor table which was very nice but temperature dropped so we got the food to go. Our server was fantastic and got our food boxed up to take with us. This is a must when visiting Manistee!! Cocktails are superb! read more

The vibe was really nice. Great atmosphere and clean. The menu was very limited and not what you'd expect from a pub. No burger on the menu.

Food: 3.5/5 Food wasn't anything crazy. The Alfredo dip was below avg I would recommend not going for those. however, the tamales were delicious and I loved the toppings that came on the side. The bacon Mac and cheese I ordered was good and so was my gfs chicken Alfredo. Service: 20/10 My servers name was jackleen and she was amazing best waitress I have ever had! She is amazing and made our night amazing! Would go back just to have her as our waitress again! Animal friendly read more

TJ's never lets us down. The food is always good. The service is reliable and generally quick (although summer gets busy). We've been coming to TJ's for nearly 20 years, and it's one of the most consistent places to eat in town. All of the servers are good, but if Mike is your server, you're in excellent hands. :) read more

TJ's Pub provides a dining experience you don't want to miss. The building is historic and has character with class. It's quaint and has a welcoming ambiance of a small town pub. Sit by the fireplace and enjoy amazing cocktails, the best pizza (gluten free options) and so many scrumptious dishes that are tasty and unique. Lindsey and her staff have made this favorite restaurant and Inn a destination to visit repeatedly. It is my preferred eating establishment when in Manistee. Great pub fare! Marie Fay read more

Love all the choices! Stopped in with a group of six and only had a short wait. Peachy pear drink was fabulous - not overly sweet. Family had plenty of recommendations - I went with the bacon macaroni and cheese. Wow! Creamy and cheese...others enjoyed the Tamales, BLT, Margarita pizza. Friendly, attentive service. read more
