Great food, great service, great view. Huge deck and tiki bar. We've visited AJ's numerous times, the owner is always there and truly cares about his customers. Food quality is top notch, great burgers and fish. Highly recommend checking this place out.

RIGHT on the water.quite relaxing.huge patio and tiki bar. Server was excellent,really hustling and friendly. Shared a huge ,tasty perch sandwich with fries. Chicken salad with vinaigrette dressing was awesome and huge. Had enough for leftovers. Only downside- some no brand ketchup- tasted horrible.

Found this place along the St Clair River and decided to stop in. It's not fancy, but it's got a relaxed vibe, and a great view of passing freighters from their deck. I love that, that's all I needed that day - a cold beer and a chill place to kick back. I wasn't super hungry when I stopped, so I just ordered some clam chowder and a side of fries. Both items were very good. Prices are very reasonable, too. It's so effing expensive to dine out anymore, so I'm happy when I find a place like this. Service was prompt and friendly, no issues there either. If you're in the area, it's worth a stop especially if you like to see freighters like I do :)

We had a great meal here, fried perch all around, some great appetizers. The poor bartender who was the wait staff and the bartender really had to run around, but did it with style and grace and a sense of humor. We would return here in the future. I especially liked the fact that she called the ship and timed it to go by while we were sitting dock side finishing our dinner. ;)

Great location , right on the water. We sat outside and watched the boats come in for lunch and ship off again. Best Long Island I've ever had, but the 2cnd wasn't as good. We both had fish sandwiches. (Grouper and perch). Very good. Looks like it could have fun night life as they had a stage. Liked it and will come back when we are out in the area

Looking at all the reviews are from years ago! My mom and I were driving by and decided to stop and give them a try. We were looking for a place right on the water since it was so nice out. And by right on the water I mean we sat on boat docks, such an amazing experience! Nothing more then your normal dive bar with bar food but being able to site outside was a huge win!

A cute lil dive bar on the water. The service was good. We just went to have a couple drinks but ordered some fries too. I really love the outdoor area on the water. The deck looks nice and I look forward to going back to eat out side soon.

Tried this place for the first time tonight since my family and I were in the area. Place is kind of hard to find. Sign is off the road but the restaurant is right off the water. My family and I sat outside on the patio on one of the last few warm nights of the summer. I loved that the table and chairs were outdoor patio furniture. Very homey! The view of the water was very pretty. Was nice to watch boats drive by.I ordered the Turkey Bacon Melt, minus tomato and onion. It came on a fresh ciabatta bun. Loved that all the sandwich was piping hot. Bun was very fluffy and bacon was perfect. Not too chewy and not too crispy. Lots of flavor. I tried the french fries and they were one of the best I ever had. Freshly seasoned and homemade. Large portion of fries when you order an entree. An additional $1.50 when you make your sandwich a deluxe with fries or cole slaw. Service could have been a lot better. Not many people dining in and service was slow. Food took awhile but tasted delicious when it finally arrived.Inside dinning had plenty of tables, a bar, keno, and a jukebox. Lots of TV's as well. Women's bathroom is tiny!! You are kissing the door when trying to do your business. I'm warning you. I have a tiny frame and am small and my knee's were touching the door. Also, sink is after the stalls. Kinda weird.

The blackened grouper is amazing and fresh! They often times have live music and the staff is usually pretty attentive. They are slightly overpriced, but such is the world we live in now a days. The restaurant is a tad dated, but the view is great if you're inside or out on the deck. I can't speak to the bar/pricing, as we don't drink, but looks like those who do enjoy it and haven't heard complaints. We live about 20 minutes away and like the "country" drive along the water, good food, cheap entertainment!
