Always enjoy PJ. But bar smelled today. I think the bathroom is in need of a good cleaning. Food good Beer good. But dirty. Hire a cleaner help america grow and the economy recover.

The place it really really dark inside. Food is not great just mediocre. The wings are good. I am picky. They are good and won't disappoint. Not the best but pretty good. Don't get the cheesesteak it sucks. I think it's the sauce. Not sure if they mixed hot wing sauce in it but it doesn't taste like a good cheesesteak from a pizza shop although the roll was amorosso for sure. It needs work. The waitresses are all dumb as a box of rocks for some reason at this place. You will have to ask for your silverware etc and remind them of everything you just asked for.

I was rather under-whelmed with the food here. Service was decent. The wings were decent but I also had a crock of French Onion Soup and it was the worst soup I've ever had in my life. How you can make French Onion soup and have it NOT taste like anything is amazing. Honestly it felt like it was sitting in the fridge for days then they threw it in in the oven with the cheese to heat up. Definitely did not seem fresh. I have no intentions of returning here on my own unless I'm really desperate for a beer after work.

This is how you do a local bar/restaurant. Not trying to be all things to all people. Limited menu, but everything is done right. Great specials, great beer selection, great service. You will definitely wait for a table some weekend evenings. So, hit the bar and have a beer or two while you're waiting. There's a reason the place gets crowded.

Well, when the Yelp reviews said that any wing connoisseur has to come here because the hot and honey wings are to die for....I had to oblige. Lunch with my husband and mother on a Friday afternoon. We got there around 11:45, which was perfect because by 12:15 the place was PACKED! Did the honey hot wings live up to my standards? Yes. OMG yes. They were fried in such a way so that the skin peeled off in crispy shell revealing the juicy chicken underneath. The sauce was thick and with so much sugar, glazed over the wings as they cooled to make the crispy skin thick and savory. Truthfully, I have never had a wing that had this sort of texture and it was amazing. The taste of the honey hot sauce was also quite good. My mother had a barbeque burger, which she said was quite good. We also got bacon cheese fries, which, of course, I asked for a side of ranch because ranch is good on everything. They were good, but not the best I've ever had. Sadly, the best I've ever had was at a restaurant that is no longer with us. I'd definitely go back. In fact, I kinda want those wings again right now.

If it weren't for the wings and fries, I wouldn't like this location. I usually go to Blue Bell, which seems to have a larger beer selection. The wings here still made my bf happy (hot honey) and the fries hit the spot for me. The placed is cramped and I'm not a fan of the atmosphere. The service was just fine.

This is a great place to come and eat unlimited chicken wings on Tuesday nights. They also have karaoke on Tuesday nights, so bring your friends and enjoy yourselves. I give it high marks and encourage everyone to try it out.

I stopped here for lunch on the weekend and although the food was OK, the service was abysmal! I ordered the fish tacos, which were just OK. I thought it was a bit weird that they did not come with any sides - they used to serve chips if you did not order fries. Not anymore apparently. But what really floored me was the service. Our servers child was apparently seated at a table nearby. The server spent a majority of her time at that table, fooling around with her kid or - carrying the kid around the restaurant and bar and ignoring her customers. Unacceptable behavior! I was fuming by the time I left and most likely will not be back.

Our first time trying this place. YUM. The chipolte lime wings were really moist & had an ample amount of sauce. Just enough kick too. The eggplant sticks were served in a basket - plenty to share. We asked for a different dipping sauce & the server happily suggested the ranch. We were also happy with the pulled pork sandwich. Our server was a gem - upbeat - sense of humor & attentive.

Some of the best wings in the Valley. If you sign up for their mailing list they give you a free 6-plate of any wings!!! We brought 3 coupons and they honored all 3 with no fuss (there were 3 of us.) The burgers were excellent and the fries were good too. Beer was very good- I had the house PJ's lager @ 4.00/22oz and it was excellent. Service was phenomenal- the waitress remembered every detail and didn't write a thing- also prompt and attentive. Non-smoking and peaceful- OK for kids or families early in the afternoon.

GREAT place. Amazing wings, friendly bartenders and a great crowd. I haven't had wings this good since O'Malleys in Palmer Lake, Colorado. And I can eat the HELL out of some wings. It's always so great to walk into a place for the first time, and the bartender and staff treat you like you've always been there. They were friendly, attentive and quick-witted. I can't wait to go back!!!

Any place that has beer specials, righteous bar food, crispy, crunchy wings and good tunes get's a solid mark in my book. Whelihan's delivers on all fronts. Plus the prices are great for what you get. The only thing I would like is more variety in the eight or ten sauce types, maybe give me some options regarding a dry rub or something. But that's a minor complaint as I had three sauces (original hot, sweet-hot and whatever their hottest sauce is) and each of them was mighty tasty. The wings were perfectly sauced and tasty and meaty. Beer was cold. Waitress was good and the vibe was good too. Anytime I am in this area for business, I make it a point to stop in at PJ's.

UPDATE: I just wanted to mention that my photo of the raw drumstick was removed from yelp (I guess the administrators didn't care for my my honest review with the "raw" evidence). If you go here, make sure the poultry is cooked thoroughly for your safety. But I still wouldn't recommend going here. When I came here, I took my friend who came all the way from Germany to have a fun night out. I was so embarrassed when he noticed that the chicken was on the chewier side... In the place now...was served legitimately undercooked chicken. It was a thicker drum and there was blood and the flesh was translucent. I told the waitress and she pointed to another wing and said "well this is normal." I don't need excuses why you served undercooked chicken. She returned with a new plate of wings, forgot to get me another plate, and forgot the celery and blue cheese. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I hope I don't get salmonella or violent runs tonight.

I enjoy PJs this location is older than the Bethlehem location I'm used to. Service was great. Confusing entrance with no real host. I always order wings. They were good. I feel that the wings changed about a year ago. This is going to be weird but I don't like big wings. I don't want scrawny wings either but something something about big wings I just do not find appetizing. But i know that's not a normal complaint so I can't hold it against them. I prefer the boneless wings to avoid the jumbo wings that I seem to get all the time there. (Including Bethlehem)

Fantastic wings, some of the biggest and tastiest I've ever had. Only had an opportunity to try the mild sauce but looking to go back and try more. The "famous fries" are very good and a copycat of Chickie and Pete's, but nonetheless still delicious. Also had the French Onion Burger, Short Rib Melt, and today had the Bacon Jalapeno Cream Cheese Burger - all 5 star worthy. I can only come here during work and wish I could have a beer with my burgers and wings!

GET THE NACHOS. HUGE!!! And the eggplant fried are fantastic! I came here several times and there is one particular waitress who has the personality of a unicorn with rainbows shooting out of it's bum (which is great btw). Sadly, I forgot her name but she made a great impression on me and my group of friends. (Tattoo and glasses, Art History Major). She is so accommodating and will share her opinions on the menu and alcoholic drinks.

We went here with our kids between soccer games recently. Were greeted and seated very nicely, and our server took our order for drinks/apps right away. Our nachos and drinks came out quickly and the nachos were great, the server kept our glasses full (our son was very thirsty after soccer) and our food came at just the right time after our apps. Nice job!

Words can't even begin to describe how I feel about this place. A tiny bar and a lot of people combined with abysmally slow service is a recipe for disaster. And oh, it was a hot mess. First, we were stuck at a high-top table at the bar, where I couldn't even sit down, thanks to the polite gentlemen behind me. After what felt like forever, my man and I snagged two seats at the bar, where our drinks remained empty for a while. Still, the quality of service increased a bit. The food wasn't anything to write home about - dry boneless wings with a not-so-hot hot sauce, and an average quesadilla. I can't say we'll ever go back - there are better "sports bar" options with better service and better food. But man, was it an experience.

This is the first time I've ever been served food poisoning and have been charged for it. I came in one wing night and expected hmm I don't know cooked ones. Biting into one we realized that many of the wings were really soft and bloody. I don't know about other people but biting raw poultry kind of ruins the appetite. When the waitress thinks giving excuses for why we were served raw food is acceptable, that's when I get angry. She told us that it's hard for them to tell if the wings are full cooked or not! That is really unacceptable and I was very disappointed. Pj's use to be my favorite wing place in the Lehigh Valley. Needless to say if you are charging me for raw chicken wings and you're in the restaurant business, close shop now.

As soon as we walked in, the place was like an ice box. Way too cold. The place appeared very clean. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The food was average bar food. I had the chicken cheesesteak and it was Ok..nothing special. Beer selection very average. i'm honestly not sure I would go back. There was nothing that stood out to me and said, "you must come back". Like I said, everything was average.

Every time we are in Allentown, there are a few food items that are on the permanent rotation list. Palace Pizza. Yocco's Dogs. And PJ's Hot and Honey Wings! Best wings ever. And now they also a Chipotle Lime sauce. Second to best wings ever. And like someone else said, thank goodness for smoke free laws! I can now enjoy these wings without having to worry about my dry cleaning bill!

You need these wings. I'm not messing around here.. you NEED them. Well, at least after the first time you try them.. that's what you're going to be saying. If you fancy yourself a wing connoisseur.. and you're going to try to tell me you can't get good wings outside of buffalo.. I'm going to write "Eat at Pj Whelihan's" in Sharpie on your forehead so you never forget making such a big mistake. I would swim in buffalo sauce if I could.. yet the hot and honey wings at Pj Whelihan's are the best I have ever had, easy. I've never tasted anything like it. The wings themselves are both crispy and juicy with the perfect amount of sauce on them so you have plenty of the flavor without making the wings soggy! I really just can't say enough about these wings. When the Mighty Mighty Bosstones scheduled a show in Allentown, I was initially very unhappy about the idea of having to travel to such an out of the way place. Now, I'd drive to Allentown to see Brittney Spears if it meant I had an excuse to go back for these wings!

I was part of a group of 7 people venturing out to PJ Whelihan's for a casual dinner last Monday night. I had no idea that the place was a chain with 16 locations, and part of a larger restaurant group based in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The company apparently has some other, more upscale restaurants called The Chophouse, The Pour house, and Treno Pizza Bar. From the outside and even from within, this place looks like your ubiquitous neighborhood Irish bar. Five flat screen televisions in the bar, another television or two in the dining room.. lots of beer and sports memorabilia.. very typical ambience. I did note a tin ceiling in the bar, but neglected to notice if it was the same in the dining room or not. I thought it to be a nice touch. The service was excellent, and would certainly be one of the things to draw me back here. Food was okay to just average.. depending on who you ask. There were no shortage of beer and drink specials and the bar food appeared the most appetizing. We started off with PJ's Super Nachos ($9.49) which were cold, lacking in cheese, and just overall quite substandard bar fare. Even though there were seven of us eating them, there were still plenty left on the plate when it was removed.. I think that says it all. The WINGS must be what people come here for! You have your choice of seven signature wing sauces ( Hot n Honey, Chipotle Lime BBQ, Drunkin BBQ, Mild, Shanghai Sesame, Hot, and Inferno) and our waitress informed us that we could order any size and any combination of the wings. We ordered about forty Hot Wings for the seven of us, and I think I probably downed fifteen and boxed up another 8-10 to take home. These were the highlight of the meal, at least for me. Entrees, like the appetizers, were hit and miss. I ordered a Blackjack Burger ($7.99) which came out medium-well when it was ordered medium-rare. The burger came with pepper jack cheese and a side of Creole mayonnaise, but it was so over-seasoned and overdone that it totally blew out my palate and I couldn't eat more than a few bites. My other dining companions ordered the 'Shroom n Swiss Burger ($7.99), the Crab Cake Sandwich (7.99), Tuna Melt ($7.99), or soup ($3.99) and everyone, save for one person who thoroughly enjoyed their Crab Cake sandwich, either had some of their meal boxed up or left on the plate. Our waitress Lisa, was on the ball and must be commended. She let us know about the many drink specials, guided us through the menu, suggesting specific appetizers and beverages, launching an impressive spiel regarding the wings, and was just a pleasure to have as a waitress. However, the food I found to be overcooked, over seasoned, and for the most part, mediocre at best. All the sandwiches are served with chips (from a bag I'm told, not freshly made) and you can upgrade to fries for an additional ninety-nine cents. Our appetizers and entrees were very hit and miss, but the wings were delicious and on top of Lisa's service, would be enough to draw me back if I was in the area, at least for a beer and some wings.. and sometimes that's all you need.

Their wings are great, but their bruschetta steak was the best cheesesteak I've ever had. It was perfectly juicy without making the bread soggy. Melted cheesy goodness at the bottom. The tomatoes with olive oil added a bit of flavor that really made it stand out from other cheesesteaks.

I use to love this place and frequented it often but now I just had the worst experience ever. Their famous French onion soup tasted like hot water and onions and the service was awful. Server got our order wrong but by that time it was clear she was annoyed with us so I just paid the bill and we left. I hope they turn it around but I won't be back.

This is a must stop by location in Lehigh Valley. The food is always amazing and there's a lot of choices. Service can be slow/not the best on busy nights. But when it's not super busy they are always on top of their game. Food never disappoints. Top of my list!

This one, of several in the chain, is located just off of Tilghman Ave, this is a real pub, in a quaint old building. They have a bar, but don't expect fancy bar drinks. The food is pub food, from burgers to cheese steaks, and even a huge salad. Their chicken wings are better than most in the area. The food and the service are very good. I personally enjoy this place so much better now that smoking has been banned in PA restaurants. They do have a few TVs visible in each room, so you can watch the game. The bar is in a separate room, away from the table area. On the weekends, the parking lot fills up quickly.

I am loving Pjs now that it is smoke free. It has made this pub so much more enjoyable. They have large flat screen TVs all over the restaurant. You can see the game from every table. I am not a huge sports person, so I try to go when there isn't a big event. It also is very loud in the restaurant when it is full. The cheesesteaks and crab cake sandwich are good. The salads are huge! I go to Pjs for the wings. I usually get the hot, but I also like the inferno, good heat and good taste. The spicy fries make a perfect side to any meal.

P.J. Whelihan's is a chain of pubs with several locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The pub serves the standard Irish pub fare: beer, burgers, sandwiches, munchies, and, quite noticeably, wings (they dominate the center portion of the placemat menus). Promoted proudly as as the "Official Wing of (Sports Radio) WIP Wing Bowl", we went in hoping they lived up to the hype. P.J.'s offer their wings served with any of seven different sauces: Hot n Honey, Chipotle Lime BBQ, Drunken BBQ, Mild, Shanghai Sesame, Hot, and Inferno. Before ordering, I asked to sample the two hottest sauces, Hot and Inferno. I found the Hot to be a standard buffalo-style sauce, based on a hot sauce (Tabasco or similar), and found it pretty much "normal". Consistency was a little thin, the color was a Tabasco-ish reddish orange, and it wasn't all too hot, making it safe for sharing with those with lighter lingual constitutions. The Inferno sauce was a dark red, and much thicker. It had a bit of a smokey flavor, and considerably more bite to it, though not so much for the chile-heads out there. I chose to order one basket with the Inferno sauce, and just for something different, ordered another with the Hot n Honey sauce, which the server explained was "three parts honey to one part Hot sauce". First up were the Hot n Honeys. These wings were crispy and meaty. These were fried up, with out a batter, so there was a distinct crunch as you bite into the skin, but the meat itself wasn't dried out. I'm not a fan of really "juicy" wings, so this suited me just fine. The size of the wings were a little bigger than the average size I've found in my travels. As per the server's description, I tasted the honey pretty clearly, nicely balanced with the flavor of their Hot Sauce. As a result, the sauce was neither overly sweet nor too hot. Heat-challenged wing aficionados will find these tasty, with just a little kick to pique their taste buds, but not so hot they find themselves in pain. The Inferno wings were similarly crispy and meaty, but carried with them a nice bit of heat. As I said before, the sauce is darker, smokier, thicker, and hotter version of their Hot. It's by no means the hottest sauce out there, but after polishing off a basket, there was clearly some noticeable heat. Overall this sauce works well. I'd hate to draw comparisons to some other venues, but I would compare this sauce vaguely to Hooter's "911", but have to conclude this is a much more polished version. In fact, if you even remotely like the Hooter's version (naked, not with the breading), you will find these a vast improvement, both in terms of the quality of the wing itself and the sauce. My conclusion? The quality of the wings is well above that of your typical "striped awning" chain restaurant, and they have enough of a selection of sauces to cater to most palates. Although the Hot n Honey was tasty, it would probably pass on it in favor of trying the other sauces. On the other hand, the Inferno sauce was quite enjoyable, and I would definitely make sure to order it again on a return trip. If you have a P.J. Whelihan's within driving distance, they make a worthy wing.

We arrived at 1:30 on a Monday and the bar was loud and unwelcoming. One of the wait staff pointed towards the dining area and said "sit anywhere" . Nice touch. Server took our drink order, then came back to say we'd have to wait until a fresh keg was tapped. When I said I'd change to a bottled beer, she replied "too late, we have them half poured". Seriously?! We can't have what we want? Beer arrived luke cool and flat as can be. Probably should have departed at that point but heard raves about the food so moved on. We ordered sliders as a starter however all of our meal came at once.The sliders were an embarrassment as the cook did not bother to even separate the packaged buns into separate sliders; just 3 in a row stuck together sloped on a plate with raw onions. The burgers tasted microwaved. Our server must have overheard my comment about these as she effectively ignored me the rest of the time never asking if we would like another drink or how we liked our meal. Never again with this place in Allentown and all associated locations. There are too many other establishments that care about their food and service.

I have only been here twice, when I visited friends who lived in the Bethlehem area. I just went back this past weekend and was so happy because they have a great selection of bar food. I remember having great wings here, so that's what I settled on. There are four choices, mild, hot, suicide and hot n honey. I went for the hot n honey. A basket of 10 was more than enough and the wings are HUGE! They also serve burgers, cheesesteaks (although they come with marinara sauce-weird), salads, fries, chicken sandwiches. Food is fresh and tasty. Crowd is a mix of sports folks, young area residents and large groups.

PJ's is known for their wings....Hot and Honey as well as the Chipolte Lime are some of the better ones around....but other items on their menu are pretty good as well (their burgers get kudos as well). The staff seems very friendly, yet busy at this and their other operation PJ's at the Walbert.....the only problem I have is the shear MAYHEM outside caused by all the of the local high school students who are out with friends looking to get wings.......you can however escape in the bar as they are not allowed i there..... At Christmas, they actually took away wing night and charged full price due to the numbers of HS and young college people...and gave you the discount price if you got them to go........but then again, even youngsters know a good thing when they see it. Their "homebrew" is a nice full flavored brew.....kind of reminds me of HONEYBROWN if you've had it..........as for the other food.....the shrimp are so so, but the salads and cheesesteaks I've had great experiences with. Wing night is Tuesday........a great night to get some fresh ones! The wait staff has ALWAYS been friendly and seem to rush around and work as a team as it is typically busy.

I've been going to PJ for wings since 1995 and there were always my favorite dish, soo good and juicy and it was never a disappointment. But today I was shocked by the way the wings came out. There were dry and there was almost no sauce present. My husband and I ordered "mild" wings and they absolutely had no taste! Please, please, please, return the old wings back!!! We don't know what happened to them today, but you gotta do something about it. Otherwise, people stop coming!!! I hope we can come back soon and find wings the same way they have been for over 16 years!!!

My 20-something daughter's love the food here. I finally tried the takeout on a snowy weekday eve. Hostess was helpful, informative, service was quick, and food- chipolte lime and hot n honey wings, and Alice fries, was very good. H n H was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm a spice wimp. C L had nice flavor. I live close by though doubt I will eat there because it's a bit too cramped and noisy. However, I will put this on my 'take-out' list.

I'm not sure if the other reviewers are eating at the same place, or maybe had a few drinks at first arriving. We've been maybe three times, once at PJ's at the Walbert, which is a different location but the same menu, same everything. All three times our service has been terrible, slow, not pleasant, forgetful. And all three times the food has been mediocre at best. The fries are good. I've always gotten the burger (this was our place to go for a burger and fries until the last trip was the worst of all, now we won't be back). It is a basic bar burger, burger king is about as good. The reason it was our burger joint of choice was because they offered a veg burger for the BF, who is a vegetarian. But guess what - as of our last visit a couple months ago they dropped the Veg burger (why?, just keep a few in the freezer for goodness sake!). Only thing Veg on the menu was a salad and it was just about the worst looking salad we've seen. There is officially no place in the lehigh valley to get a decent burger and fries! Go to PJ's to hang out with friends at the bar and order some fries or sides. Don't go for dinner.

The place it really really dark inside. Food is not great just mediocre. The wings are good. I am picky. They are good and won't disappoint. Not the best but pretty good. Don't get the cheesesteak it sucks. I think it's the sauce. Not sure if they mixed hot wing sauce in it but it doesn't taste like a good cheesesteak from a pizza shop although the roll was amorosso for sure. It needs work. The waitresses are all dumb as a box of rocks for some reason at this place. You will have to ask for your silverware etc and remind them of everything you just asked for.

I was rather under-whelmed with the food here. Service was decent. The wings were decent but I also had a crock of French Onion Soup and it was the worst soup I've ever had in my life. How you can make French Onion soup and have it NOT taste like anything is amazing. Honestly it felt like it was sitting in the fridge for days then they threw it in in the oven with the cheese to heat up. Definitely did not seem fresh. I have no intentions of returning here on my own unless I'm really desperate for a beer after work.

This is how you do a local bar/restaurant. Not trying to be all things to all people. Limited menu, but everything is done right. Great specials, great beer selection, great service. You will definitely wait for a table some weekend evenings. So, hit the bar and have a beer or two while you're waiting. There's a reason the place gets crowded.

Well, when the Yelp reviews said that any wing connoisseur has to come here because the hot and honey wings are to die for....I had to oblige. Lunch with my husband and mother on a Friday afternoon. We got there around 11:45, which was perfect because by 12:15 the place was PACKED! Did the honey hot wings live up to my standards? Yes. OMG yes. They were fried in such a way so that the skin peeled off in crispy shell revealing the juicy chicken underneath. The sauce was thick and with so much sugar, glazed over the wings as they cooled to make the crispy skin thick and savory. Truthfully, I have never had a wing that had this sort of texture and it was amazing. The taste of the honey hot sauce was also quite good. My mother had a barbeque burger, which she said was quite good. We also got bacon cheese fries, which, of course, I asked for a side of ranch because ranch is good on everything. They were good, but not the best I've ever had. Sadly, the best I've ever had was at a restaurant that is no longer with us. I'd definitely go back. In fact, I kinda want those wings again right now.

If it weren't for the wings and fries, I wouldn't like this location. I usually go to Blue Bell, which seems to have a larger beer selection. The wings here still made my bf happy (hot honey) and the fries hit the spot for me. The placed is cramped and I'm not a fan of the atmosphere. The service was just fine.
(3)Brad V.
This is a great place to come and eat unlimited chicken wings on Tuesday nights. They also have karaoke on Tuesday nights, so bring your friends and enjoy yourselves. I give it high marks and encourage everyone to try it out.
(4)Kelli R.
I stopped here for lunch on the weekend and although the food was OK, the service was abysmal! I ordered the fish tacos, which were just OK. I thought it was a bit weird that they did not come with any sides - they used to serve chips if you did not order fries. Not anymore apparently. But what really floored me was the service. Our servers child was apparently seated at a table nearby. The server spent a majority of her time at that table, fooling around with her kid or - carrying the kid around the restaurant and bar and ignoring her customers. Unacceptable behavior! I was fuming by the time I left and most likely will not be back.

If I could give it a zero I would!!! Thee worst slop I have ever eaten. They went from decent to completely gross!! Everything thing was bad food,service,drinks. Complete utter trash. Don't waste ur money and time. Like eating out of a trash can
(1)Chelle M.
Our first time trying this place. YUM. The chipolte lime wings were really moist & had an ample amount of sauce. Just enough kick too. The eggplant sticks were served in a basket - plenty to share. We asked for a different dipping sauce & the server happily suggested the ranch. We were also happy with the pulled pork sandwich. Our server was a gem - upbeat - sense of humor & attentive.
(5)Andrew H.
Some of the best wings in the Valley. If you sign up for their mailing list they give you a free 6-plate of any wings!!! We brought 3 coupons and they honored all 3 with no fuss (there were 3 of us.) The burgers were excellent and the fries were good too. Beer was very good- I had the house PJ's lager @ 4.00/22oz and it was excellent. Service was phenomenal- the waitress remembered every detail and didn't write a thing- also prompt and attentive. Non-smoking and peaceful- OK for kids or families early in the afternoon.
(5)John F.
The wings alone are worth the trip. I have spent my life traveling the globe trying to find wings as good as these.... I have yet to find any that come close.
(5)Megan W.
GREAT place. Amazing wings, friendly bartenders and a great crowd. I haven't had wings this good since O'Malleys in Palmer Lake, Colorado. And I can eat the HELL out of some wings. It's always so great to walk into a place for the first time, and the bartender and staff treat you like you've always been there. They were friendly, attentive and quick-witted. I can't wait to go back!!!
(5)Kari M.
The clothes are too small especially for those that are bursting at the seams. Tacky tacky. Can't say anything about the food because it's a sin what the employees wear. And all those that support it are sinners.
(1)Blake S.
Standard pub fare. Waittresses were attentive. Food wasn't anything special.
(3)Marie L.
Never dissapoints. Food is great. Service is awesome! My favorite quick stop place to eat!
(5)Jim C.
Any place that has beer specials, righteous bar food, crispy, crunchy wings and good tunes get's a solid mark in my book. Whelihan's delivers on all fronts. Plus the prices are great for what you get. The only thing I would like is more variety in the eight or ten sauce types, maybe give me some options regarding a dry rub or something. But that's a minor complaint as I had three sauces (original hot, sweet-hot and whatever their hottest sauce is) and each of them was mighty tasty. The wings were perfectly sauced and tasty and meaty. Beer was cold. Waitress was good and the vibe was good too. Anytime I am in this area for business, I make it a point to stop in at PJ's.
(4)Christie N.
UPDATE: I just wanted to mention that my photo of the raw drumstick was removed from yelp (I guess the administrators didn't care for my my honest review with the "raw" evidence). If you go here, make sure the poultry is cooked thoroughly for your safety. But I still wouldn't recommend going here. When I came here, I took my friend who came all the way from Germany to have a fun night out. I was so embarrassed when he noticed that the chicken was on the chewier side... In the place now...was served legitimately undercooked chicken. It was a thicker drum and there was blood and the flesh was translucent. I told the waitress and she pointed to another wing and said "well this is normal." I don't need excuses why you served undercooked chicken. She returned with a new plate of wings, forgot to get me another plate, and forgot the celery and blue cheese. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I hope I don't get salmonella or violent runs tonight.

I enjoy PJs this location is older than the Bethlehem location I'm used to. Service was great. Confusing entrance with no real host. I always order wings. They were good. I feel that the wings changed about a year ago. This is going to be weird but I don't like big wings. I don't want scrawny wings either but something something about big wings I just do not find appetizing. But i know that's not a normal complaint so I can't hold it against them. I prefer the boneless wings to avoid the jumbo wings that I seem to get all the time there. (Including Bethlehem)
(4)J P.
Fantastic wings, some of the biggest and tastiest I've ever had. Only had an opportunity to try the mild sauce but looking to go back and try more. The "famous fries" are very good and a copycat of Chickie and Pete's, but nonetheless still delicious. Also had the French Onion Burger, Short Rib Melt, and today had the Bacon Jalapeno Cream Cheese Burger - all 5 star worthy. I can only come here during work and wish I could have a beer with my burgers and wings!
(5)Jen W.
GET THE NACHOS. HUGE!!! And the eggplant fried are fantastic! I came here several times and there is one particular waitress who has the personality of a unicorn with rainbows shooting out of it's bum (which is great btw). Sadly, I forgot her name but she made a great impression on me and my group of friends. (Tattoo and glasses, Art History Major). She is so accommodating and will share her opinions on the menu and alcoholic drinks.
(5)Cory G.
Great food - good times. All of the servers and bartenders I have encountered are very friendly and helpful.
(5)Missy J.
We went here with our kids between soccer games recently. Were greeted and seated very nicely, and our server took our order for drinks/apps right away. Our nachos and drinks came out quickly and the nachos were great, the server kept our glasses full (our son was very thirsty after soccer) and our food came at just the right time after our apps. Nice job!
(4)Dori H.
Words can't even begin to describe how I feel about this place. A tiny bar and a lot of people combined with abysmally slow service is a recipe for disaster. And oh, it was a hot mess. First, we were stuck at a high-top table at the bar, where I couldn't even sit down, thanks to the polite gentlemen behind me. After what felt like forever, my man and I snagged two seats at the bar, where our drinks remained empty for a while. Still, the quality of service increased a bit. The food wasn't anything to write home about - dry boneless wings with a not-so-hot hot sauce, and an average quesadilla. I can't say we'll ever go back - there are better "sports bar" options with better service and better food. But man, was it an experience.
(2)Sam I.
Came here for wings but even their spiciest wings weren't as spicy as I've had at other places. However, the service was really good.
(3)Allison W.
Great beer selections and loaded tater tots are the DEAL! Definitely will be back while when in the area!
(4)Eric N.
This is the first time I've ever been served food poisoning and have been charged for it. I came in one wing night and expected hmm I don't know cooked ones. Biting into one we realized that many of the wings were really soft and bloody. I don't know about other people but biting raw poultry kind of ruins the appetite. When the waitress thinks giving excuses for why we were served raw food is acceptable, that's when I get angry. She told us that it's hard for them to tell if the wings are full cooked or not! That is really unacceptable and I was very disappointed. Pj's use to be my favorite wing place in the Lehigh Valley. Needless to say if you are charging me for raw chicken wings and you're in the restaurant business, close shop now.
(1)D P.
I had the PJ burger, fries and a Stella while watching the Nuggets/Mavrics game. Burger was good and a nice portion of fries. my tab was $16.00 bucks.
(4)Angela M.
Stopped here on our way home to grab some wings and watch USA play in the World Cup. The wings were good, the burger was good and the service was great.
(5)Lauren W.
The food was good. The only complaints I had were the AC was on very high and it wasn't very well lit. I went there for lunch and it was very sunny outside, so I was surprised that it was so dark inside.
(4)Christian M.
5 stars for the best wings in Lehigh Valley! Hot and honey all the way. The original PJs in Allentown is the best location of them all. I found their wings to taste better here than at any of their other restaurants.
(5)Bill B.
As soon as we walked in, the place was like an ice box. Way too cold. The place appeared very clean. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The food was average bar food. I had the chicken cheesesteak and it was Ok..nothing special. Beer selection very average. i'm honestly not sure I would go back. There was nothing that stood out to me and said, "you must come back". Like I said, everything was average.
(3)Chris W.
Went here after a gun show with a friend. Will definitely go back at some point. Always crowded.
(4)Paul G.
All their wings are just awesome! Hot, mild and in between.
(5)Christina F.
Every time we are in Allentown, there are a few food items that are on the permanent rotation list. Palace Pizza. Yocco's Dogs. And PJ's Hot and Honey Wings! Best wings ever. And now they also a Chipotle Lime sauce. Second to best wings ever. And like someone else said, thank goodness for smoke free laws! I can now enjoy these wings without having to worry about my dry cleaning bill!
(5)Shayla H.
You need these wings. I'm not messing around here.. you NEED them. Well, at least after the first time you try them.. that's what you're going to be saying. If you fancy yourself a wing connoisseur.. and you're going to try to tell me you can't get good wings outside of buffalo.. I'm going to write "Eat at Pj Whelihan's" in Sharpie on your forehead so you never forget making such a big mistake. I would swim in buffalo sauce if I could.. yet the hot and honey wings at Pj Whelihan's are the best I have ever had, easy. I've never tasted anything like it. The wings themselves are both crispy and juicy with the perfect amount of sauce on them so you have plenty of the flavor without making the wings soggy! I really just can't say enough about these wings. When the Mighty Mighty Bosstones scheduled a show in Allentown, I was initially very unhappy about the idea of having to travel to such an out of the way place. Now, I'd drive to Allentown to see Brittney Spears if it meant I had an excuse to go back for these wings!

Honey Hot Wings!

I was part of a group of 7 people venturing out to PJ Whelihan's for a casual dinner last Monday night. I had no idea that the place was a chain with 16 locations, and part of a larger restaurant group based in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The company apparently has some other, more upscale restaurants called The Chophouse, The Pour house, and Treno Pizza Bar. From the outside and even from within, this place looks like your ubiquitous neighborhood Irish bar. Five flat screen televisions in the bar, another television or two in the dining room.. lots of beer and sports memorabilia.. very typical ambience. I did note a tin ceiling in the bar, but neglected to notice if it was the same in the dining room or not. I thought it to be a nice touch. The service was excellent, and would certainly be one of the things to draw me back here. Food was okay to just average.. depending on who you ask. There were no shortage of beer and drink specials and the bar food appeared the most appetizing. We started off with PJ's Super Nachos ($9.49) which were cold, lacking in cheese, and just overall quite substandard bar fare. Even though there were seven of us eating them, there were still plenty left on the plate when it was removed.. I think that says it all. The WINGS must be what people come here for! You have your choice of seven signature wing sauces ( Hot n Honey, Chipotle Lime BBQ, Drunkin BBQ, Mild, Shanghai Sesame, Hot, and Inferno) and our waitress informed us that we could order any size and any combination of the wings. We ordered about forty Hot Wings for the seven of us, and I think I probably downed fifteen and boxed up another 8-10 to take home. These were the highlight of the meal, at least for me. Entrees, like the appetizers, were hit and miss. I ordered a Blackjack Burger ($7.99) which came out medium-well when it was ordered medium-rare. The burger came with pepper jack cheese and a side of Creole mayonnaise, but it was so over-seasoned and overdone that it totally blew out my palate and I couldn't eat more than a few bites. My other dining companions ordered the 'Shroom n Swiss Burger ($7.99), the Crab Cake Sandwich (7.99), Tuna Melt ($7.99), or soup ($3.99) and everyone, save for one person who thoroughly enjoyed their Crab Cake sandwich, either had some of their meal boxed up or left on the plate. Our waitress Lisa, was on the ball and must be commended. She let us know about the many drink specials, guided us through the menu, suggesting specific appetizers and beverages, launching an impressive spiel regarding the wings, and was just a pleasure to have as a waitress. However, the food I found to be overcooked, over seasoned, and for the most part, mediocre at best. All the sandwiches are served with chips (from a bag I'm told, not freshly made) and you can upgrade to fries for an additional ninety-nine cents. Our appetizers and entrees were very hit and miss, but the wings were delicious and on top of Lisa's service, would be enough to draw me back if I was in the area, at least for a beer and some wings.. and sometimes that's all you need.

Great extensive beer selection. Wings are amazing. Great pub atmosphere, even better on football sunday. Definitely go again.
(5)Peng X.
Their wings are great, but their bruschetta steak was the best cheesesteak I've ever had. It was perfectly juicy without making the bread soggy. Melted cheesy goodness at the bottom. The tomatoes with olive oil added a bit of flavor that really made it stand out from other cheesesteaks.
(5)Sean N.
I use to love this place and frequented it often but now I just had the worst experience ever. Their famous French onion soup tasted like hot water and onions and the service was awful. Server got our order wrong but by that time it was clear she was annoyed with us so I just paid the bill and we left. I hope they turn it around but I won't be back.
(2)Jeanine S.
This is a must stop by location in Lehigh Valley. The food is always amazing and there's a lot of choices. Service can be slow/not the best on busy nights. But when it's not super busy they are always on top of their game. Food never disappoints. Top of my list!
(4)Kelly B.
This one, of several in the chain, is located just off of Tilghman Ave, this is a real pub, in a quaint old building. They have a bar, but don't expect fancy bar drinks. The food is pub food, from burgers to cheese steaks, and even a huge salad. Their chicken wings are better than most in the area. The food and the service are very good. I personally enjoy this place so much better now that smoking has been banned in PA restaurants. They do have a few TVs visible in each room, so you can watch the game. The bar is in a separate room, away from the table area. On the weekends, the parking lot fills up quickly.
(4)Stephanie G.
Hot and Honey wings are the only wings I will eat. So good!!!!!! Pulled pork sandwich and spicy fries is good. Nachos looked amazing, have yet to try.
(4)Kris G.
I am loving Pjs now that it is smoke free. It has made this pub so much more enjoyable. They have large flat screen TVs all over the restaurant. You can see the game from every table. I am not a huge sports person, so I try to go when there isn't a big event. It also is very loud in the restaurant when it is full. The cheesesteaks and crab cake sandwich are good. The salads are huge! I go to Pjs for the wings. I usually get the hot, but I also like the inferno, good heat and good taste. The spicy fries make a perfect side to any meal.
(4)Dino S.
Great local bar

P.J. Whelihan's is a chain of pubs with several locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The pub serves the standard Irish pub fare: beer, burgers, sandwiches, munchies, and, quite noticeably, wings (they dominate the center portion of the placemat menus). Promoted proudly as as the "Official Wing of (Sports Radio) WIP Wing Bowl", we went in hoping they lived up to the hype. P.J.'s offer their wings served with any of seven different sauces: Hot n Honey, Chipotle Lime BBQ, Drunken BBQ, Mild, Shanghai Sesame, Hot, and Inferno. Before ordering, I asked to sample the two hottest sauces, Hot and Inferno. I found the Hot to be a standard buffalo-style sauce, based on a hot sauce (Tabasco or similar), and found it pretty much "normal". Consistency was a little thin, the color was a Tabasco-ish reddish orange, and it wasn't all too hot, making it safe for sharing with those with lighter lingual constitutions. The Inferno sauce was a dark red, and much thicker. It had a bit of a smokey flavor, and considerably more bite to it, though not so much for the chile-heads out there. I chose to order one basket with the Inferno sauce, and just for something different, ordered another with the Hot n Honey sauce, which the server explained was "three parts honey to one part Hot sauce". First up were the Hot n Honeys. These wings were crispy and meaty. These were fried up, with out a batter, so there was a distinct crunch as you bite into the skin, but the meat itself wasn't dried out. I'm not a fan of really "juicy" wings, so this suited me just fine. The size of the wings were a little bigger than the average size I've found in my travels. As per the server's description, I tasted the honey pretty clearly, nicely balanced with the flavor of their Hot Sauce. As a result, the sauce was neither overly sweet nor too hot. Heat-challenged wing aficionados will find these tasty, with just a little kick to pique their taste buds, but not so hot they find themselves in pain. The Inferno wings were similarly crispy and meaty, but carried with them a nice bit of heat. As I said before, the sauce is darker, smokier, thicker, and hotter version of their Hot. It's by no means the hottest sauce out there, but after polishing off a basket, there was clearly some noticeable heat. Overall this sauce works well. I'd hate to draw comparisons to some other venues, but I would compare this sauce vaguely to Hooter's "911", but have to conclude this is a much more polished version. In fact, if you even remotely like the Hooter's version (naked, not with the breading), you will find these a vast improvement, both in terms of the quality of the wing itself and the sauce. My conclusion? The quality of the wings is well above that of your typical "striped awning" chain restaurant, and they have enough of a selection of sauces to cater to most palates. Although the Hot n Honey was tasty, it would probably pass on it in favor of trying the other sauces. On the other hand, the Inferno sauce was quite enjoyable, and I would definitely make sure to order it again on a return trip. If you have a P.J. Whelihan's within driving distance, they make a worthy wing.

We arrived at 1:30 on a Monday and the bar was loud and unwelcoming. One of the wait staff pointed towards the dining area and said "sit anywhere" . Nice touch. Server took our drink order, then came back to say we'd have to wait until a fresh keg was tapped. When I said I'd change to a bottled beer, she replied "too late, we have them half poured". Seriously?! We can't have what we want? Beer arrived luke cool and flat as can be. Probably should have departed at that point but heard raves about the food so moved on. We ordered sliders as a starter however all of our meal came at once.The sliders were an embarrassment as the cook did not bother to even separate the packaged buns into separate sliders; just 3 in a row stuck together sloped on a plate with raw onions. The burgers tasted microwaved. Our server must have overheard my comment about these as she effectively ignored me the rest of the time never asking if we would like another drink or how we liked our meal. Never again with this place in Allentown and all associated locations. There are too many other establishments that care about their food and service.
(1)Bill S.
Great bar food. Old building atmosphere. Friendly staff. Quick service. Popular place with lots of people. Have to wait to be seated some times. Consistent. A regualar place to go. Needs WiFI.
(4)Milee S.
I have only been here twice, when I visited friends who lived in the Bethlehem area. I just went back this past weekend and was so happy because they have a great selection of bar food. I remember having great wings here, so that's what I settled on. There are four choices, mild, hot, suicide and hot n honey. I went for the hot n honey. A basket of 10 was more than enough and the wings are HUGE! They also serve burgers, cheesesteaks (although they come with marinara sauce-weird), salads, fries, chicken sandwiches. Food is fresh and tasty. Crowd is a mix of sports folks, young area residents and large groups.
(4)Tom B.
PJ's is known for their wings....Hot and Honey as well as the Chipolte Lime are some of the better ones around....but other items on their menu are pretty good as well (their burgers get kudos as well). The staff seems very friendly, yet busy at this and their other operation PJ's at the Walbert.....the only problem I have is the shear MAYHEM outside caused by all the of the local high school students who are out with friends looking to get wings.......you can however escape in the bar as they are not allowed i there..... At Christmas, they actually took away wing night and charged full price due to the numbers of HS and young college people...and gave you the discount price if you got them to go........but then again, even youngsters know a good thing when they see it. Their "homebrew" is a nice full flavored brew.....kind of reminds me of HONEYBROWN if you've had it..........as for the other food.....the shrimp are so so, but the salads and cheesesteaks I've had great experiences with. Wing night is Tuesday........a great night to get some fresh ones! The wait staff has ALWAYS been friendly and seem to rush around and work as a team as it is typically busy.
(4)Katie B.
Hot & Honey wings. Wow. My brother and sis-in-law live near PJ's and I INSIST on going there when I visit. I actually crave their hot & honey wings! GO TO PJ's if you're in the Allentown area....you WILL NOT regret it! Oh..and LOTS of beers on tap!
(5)Joey G.
Hot honey wings were oh so good but could have been hotter. Finished a plate of the cheese fries with bacon which meant it was a bit hard to also finish our entrees but we made a valiant attempt. Would definitely come back.
(4)Kc S.
Great bar and food. The wings, and sandwiches are awesome. Try it if you are looking for a bar with great food.
(5)Ed S.
Hot and Honey wings are excellent. Burgers are good, juicy and big. Wait staff and hostesses are smokin hot!
(4)Olga I.
I've been going to PJ for wings since 1995 and there were always my favorite dish, soo good and juicy and it was never a disappointment. But today I was shocked by the way the wings came out. There were dry and there was almost no sauce present. My husband and I ordered "mild" wings and they absolutely had no taste! Please, please, please, return the old wings back!!! We don't know what happened to them today, but you gotta do something about it. Otherwise, people stop coming!!! I hope we can come back soon and find wings the same way they have been for over 16 years!!!
(3)Sharon B.
My 20-something daughter's love the food here. I finally tried the takeout on a snowy weekday eve. Hostess was helpful, informative, service was quick, and food- chipolte lime and hot n honey wings, and Alice fries, was very good. H n H was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm a spice wimp. C L had nice flavor. I live close by though doubt I will eat there because it's a bit too cramped and noisy. However, I will put this on my 'take-out' list.
(4)Jeff H.
For a pub/bar this is a great place to go. Hot and honey wings are great along with the rest of the menu. Waitresses are great too.
(4)Robert B.
Great food, great staff. Place to be if you're a hockey fan in Lehigh Valley.
(4)Andy B.
It has been a little while since I was last there, but this is one of the restaurants that I will go out of my way for when I am in the area. Mostly, because I LOVE their wings! A fun place to go with my college buddies late in the evening.
(4)Joe L.
My previous review stands, but PJs is now smoke free courtesy of a complicated state law. (Smoking/non-smoking requirements are determined by the amount of business derived from food sales. Ridiculous? Yes. Welcome to PA.)
(4)Mary T.
I'm not sure if the other reviewers are eating at the same place, or maybe had a few drinks at first arriving. We've been maybe three times, once at PJ's at the Walbert, which is a different location but the same menu, same everything. All three times our service has been terrible, slow, not pleasant, forgetful. And all three times the food has been mediocre at best. The fries are good. I've always gotten the burger (this was our place to go for a burger and fries until the last trip was the worst of all, now we won't be back). It is a basic bar burger, burger king is about as good. The reason it was our burger joint of choice was because they offered a veg burger for the BF, who is a vegetarian. But guess what - as of our last visit a couple months ago they dropped the Veg burger (why?, just keep a few in the freezer for goodness sake!). Only thing Veg on the menu was a salad and it was just about the worst looking salad we've seen. There is officially no place in the lehigh valley to get a decent burger and fries! Go to PJ's to hang out with friends at the bar and order some fries or sides. Don't go for dinner.

The waitstaff is friendly and personable, the atmosphere is intimate, and the food is excellent!

One of my favorite places in the valley, and the best place for wings. Nice big food and bar menu.
