    The wing that we ordered was good, but the waitress / bartender sucked!! We ordered 20 shots of patron and no one was drunk, so apparently we were getting watered down shots!! Our waitress had and an attitude and seemed bothered by questions that we asked! I live right in the area but I would not go back.

    I came here with my boyfriend when we were snowed in due to one of the worst snowstorms in decades and were forced to hole up at the Howard Johnson down the street during our cross-country drive. We came to this place on the hotel manager's recommendation and were so glad we did. Firstly, it is a casual bar that you can tell is frequented mostly by local regulars. Our bartender (Jeanie) was pretty awesome and had great service. Secondly but most importantly: THE FOOD. I can say, honest to god, that this was THE BEST pub food I've ever had in my entire life. The special of the night was a BBQ pulled pork sandwich and for THREE FREAKIN' DOLLARS you got a legit pork sandwich (the GOOD homemade BBQ pork) on a toasted bun, homemade potato chips, and an awesome side of from-scratch pasta salad. You cannot beat that food for $3. Also, pitchers of Miller and Coors Light were only $4 at the time, so you and a friend could get a great meal and some beers for under $20 - pretty awesome. That being said, with the great service, great food, and cheap beer, my boyfriend and I got a little trashed here and ended up ordering more food that did not disappoint (REAL fried chicken with chicken noodle soup for $9). If you're staying at one of the local hotels and don't feel like walking far because you're feeling lazy or scared of the area but want to chill out and enjoy a beer and watch some sports (they also have live bands weekly), this is a chill little place and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Have no idea what the one star reviewer Michelle C was talking about . Great place with great service . Always top notch . Sounds like someone has a grudge against the place ...

    Walked into this place and their where was everyone? Sat at the bar and ordered $1.50 beers. We got some hotwings(mild); they were pretty good, the Buffalo Shrimp; these puppies were like firey shrimpy heaven, and some mini-tacos; not bad, not bad!! 3 1/2 hrs of beers x2 with appetizers $48. That is a bargain for me!!! All-in-all, the bartenders were cool and for a local dive, everyone was pretty cool. Thank you RRI front desk girl for the recommendation to this dive!!

    Wanted to try different place, was going to Bottoms Up, decided on JJ Kelleys. Sorta crowded in restaurant, owner lady was really nice, offered her table with two other ladies. We chose outdoor patio. 15 minute later server came took our drink order. No place setting, or silverware. Got our soup / salad, waited 1/2 hour for place settings, Owner saw me asking server, said nothing. 45 minutes later we receive our fish/chips. Good nothing special. 45 minutes later, I asked for our check, server asked if cash or charge. Strange. Went to dining area 20 minutes later to ask for check. Owner lady seated with her two lady friends said nothing. Server asked for my card, I said first i would like to see check. Received check after 10 minutes, paid bill. As i left the dining area, still seated owner after over two hours of non-non involvement, said. "Good night, thanks for coming have a nice evening. Really really strange, and unsatisfactory service. Should have gone tio Bottoms Up. Good service great food. " Did I say, 4 tables had seating in the dining area. 1 with 7; the otherw with 2. Two servers worked. The owner wasn't.

    We moved from Lansing 10 years ago, and has this place changed. They have an amazing "paleo" selection. I had the paleo chicken and my husband had the salmon in coconut oil. I have to say that I love a place that uses coconut oil as a healthy fat as opposed to that processed crap. Kerry was our server/bartender. She was very attentive and friendly. Overall, a great visit back to the old 'hood.

    Let me start off by saying that the staff is made of fun, loving, and hard working people, and that is not limited to just the front of the house. Pedro is an amazing chef, and seems to be able to cook delicious food across the board. The food and beer prices are on point, and the regulars are genuinely good people.. it make warrant a "who's that?" look when ya walk in, but they warm up. The owners themselves care so much for the community and it shows in their pride for their establishment.

    This place is disgusting! The bathroom is disgusting! The bar is disgusting! The glasses for my drinks were disgusting! The bartender lacks customer service and doesn't wipe the bar down in between servings. I asked for an Apple Martini and it was disgusting. I exchanged it for a glass of Merlot (fool proof so I thought), only to be served Cabinet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, or a red blend. The fried avocados were disgusting. They never check on their patrons to refill water. We actually had to ask for water. The waitresses, bartender, and owner all sat in a corner conversing the entire time we were seated at the bar and not attentive to customers. I will never patronize this establishment ever in life.

    I am super upset with JJ Kelleys right now! Their portions are absolutely nonsense! The taste has changed also... In a bad way. I used to get the Hot Chick all the time. It was huge, beautiful, fried and delicious. Now it's an appetizer that is grilled and bland. Not to mention they used to use slices of real tomatoes. Now, they use slices of cherry tomatoes. Do not expect to fill up on just one order. Btw, the chicken wings are garbage! Smaller than my pinky. Their homemade chips are bland and awful. Most of the people that work there are awesome, on the other hand. It is the only plus at this point. To add the cherry on top, their chicken noodle soup, which also was awesome, now tastes sour and awkward. I am uber disappointed in this place. It will, most likely, be the last time I ever step foot in that building unless it's to get my money back.

    Great local area bar. Kerry the bartender makes awesome martinis and the spinach salad was pretty delicious too! Good food from a place you wouldn't really expect to find it!

    I went with my EX-fiancé to hear Sin After Sin and the opening bands on 11/23/13. We arrived about 8:15pm and seated ourselves at the only table near the side stage door. As the evening progressed, uninvited individuals converged on our table. These individuals became quite intoxicated and after the last song by Sin they confronted me. I was accused of causing ludicrous disturbances! I was not drinking alcohol and had been nearly knocked off my stool numerous times during the evening by the uninvited, intoxicated I've learned the bully patrons are "regulars" and vaguely acquainted with my fiancé. I, however, do not know them personally or professionally. After Sin's last encore, they surrounded me and verbally threatened us. They were each well over the legal alcohol limit; this was obvious. Neither of us had been drinking alcohol. The drunk. unruly patrons threatened to "kick my a$$". I was called a bit¢h repeatedly. No employee from the venue immediately interceded and forced the drunken would-be assailants to leave. A man did stand behind the three and witness the continued assault. EVENTUALLY, he removed two of the inebriated assailants, however, he permitted one to continue threatening me. As an attorney and officer of the court I was alarmed by JJ Kelley's lack of concern for the safety and comfort of their patrons. I have multiple sclerosis and was unable to hastily escape the assault. I was fearful the drunken assailants would carry out their threats and harm me in the parking area. I understand that alcohol causes individuals to act out of character, however, JJ Kelley's has legal, moral and ethical responsibilities that were not performed efficiently. I would not recommend this venue to my friends, family, clients or business associates.I CERTAINLY would NEVER suggest bringing a child here! The website insists this is a family friendly restaurant/pub/bar. Don't be fooled! This is a dive bar with all the dirty restroom, stale beer smelly air, draughty interior and filthy floors you'd expect in a dive bar!! I can only imagine what the kitchen must be like. I did not risk trying the food.

    I come here for lunch on occasion if I'm in the area. It's a nice little bar and grill, food is average drinks are decently priced and they've some good specials. The bar is very military friendly and has definitely got lots of pictures and military swag on the wall. Tuesdays are Sloppy Joe's for $2 and they are pretty damn tasty. Lots of meat on this sandwich for sure. The burgers are pretty good but ,nothing special really. Just a good old fashioned burger that satisfies your hunger. Fries are good too - crispy and not too greasy. I've had the turkey sandwich there also, not bad but, it's just your standard sandwich. The Chili is not bad, little bland but it's nothing that a few drops of Louisiana Hot Sauce & some salt can't fix. I did not like the "Macaroni and Cheese" soup - basically it's Mac 'n Cheese with an abundance of cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was a bit gritty too - probably used flour as a thickener or powered cheese. The bartenders are always nice (at least during lunch time) and seem to be relaxed and calm behind the bar. Service is swift and they let you eat in peace by not constantly asking you if you want another beer or beverage. As soon as you raise an empty bottle or glass though... boom there they are, ready to give you a reload. All things considered and taken into account, I'm coming back. Not for some fantastic meal or super cheap drinks but, because the atmosphere is relaxed and the bartenders and staff is great.

    Awesome food! Very pro military restaurant and lounge. Drinks are well priced, staff is friendly. definitely check out the military wall which has pictures of both local active military and veterans. Not sure what one expects when they go to see a Judas Priest tribute band in a bar on a Saturday night so don't let Michelle C's review fool you. And I grew up in this town, NONE of the "regulars" (I'm not sure why she put that in quotes in her review) would have done any of that unless she insulted the Marine Corps or started burning a flag. If you want a table with a glass of fine wine don't go see a heavy metal show in a bar. Wait for Tony Bennett to come to town or go to Ravinia and see Peter Paul and Mary... Dunce!

    This bar takes me to comfy surroundings. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is AWESOME! You can eat there every day of the week and find a new favorite each one of those days. I like a place that feels like home.... Not the new super normal and every other bar look.this is my boyfriend and my absolute fave place for eats and drinks!!
