A J's Restaurant & Lounge

I came to AJ's to grab some take out in between jobs. The restaurant sits just on the outskirts of Vandergrift and I passed by it often. There is a nice bar area as well as some seating. The staff was really friendly with a home town feel. I had a good conversation with the servers and the owner. For the food, I got an Italian Hoagie and wow, what a good sandwich. I enjoyed it immensely! The menu has a good mix of sandwiches, salads, and platters.

Amazing atmosphere and great food. A good place to go and relax with a friend old buddies

AJ's has quickly become one of my family's favorite restaurants....both because of the excellent food and the beyond excellent people. I drive from about an hour away to take my son next-door to Pride Wrestling, and many of those days my daughter will take four hours out of her day to ride along just because she wants to go to AJ's.The wings are the best wings you will eat anywhere. That is not an exaggeration. They are big and juicy and perfectly cooked. The Mini Drew is fantastic, and there is nothing Mini about it. I haven't braved the super Dru yet, though that day is coming...The owners and staff are absolutely terrific people, and even if the food was not as good as it is... I would go there anyway to support their business. You won't find nicer people.

Had the pork chop special. Prepared perfectly...seasoned with wing seasoning by request. Broccoli was spot on.

So far I can vouch for the burger and the chicken Thai wrap (not ordered at the same time just so you know). The burger was quite good but the Thai wrap was to die for it was so good. It happened to be the special of the day. The servers are attentive and pleasant. Most recently, my server was Lexie (spelling?) and she was an absolute sweetheart taking care of me from ordering to paying.The downsides are the prices -- quite pricey for lunch. My chicken Thai wrap, a soft drink, and cole slaw tab was nearly $11. That's a price I can't spend very often for lunch but, oh, was the meal good.One other downside is the ambience -- it's so gloomy and dark inside as it has no windows. For lunch, ideally I want to get away from the office in a bright and "happy" place to rejuvinate... Oh, well.... that Thai wrap and Lexie's cheerfulness almost made me forget about the gloom and dark quarters.

Best wings in ever!! I can't vouch for any of the other food because I can't pass up getting wings every time I'm in town. My parents have been buying these wings since i was a little kid. I remember when I was to stubborn to eat them :-P. Anyways, 25 years later and I still love them! A bit pricey for Vandergrift food(if you get the wings), but overall the pricing is pretty standard.

Have been here several times. This is a great gem in Vandergrift. I have only had "bar" food and have never been disappointed. Food is good, beer is cold and service is terrific.

We stopped in last minute on our way home. We were greeted by JoAnne and sat at the bar for a drink. They had a great beer selection and my cocktail was perfect! Beautiful restaurant and wonderful company.

Always enjoyed my dining experience there. Joanne is awesome, the fried shrimp dinner is to die for. Thanks!

The New York strip was awesome! The sides were just as good. Small town family owned vibe with great service. I have had a lot better pizza though.
