    Went to celebrate our daughter’s 8th grade graduation. Steaks were great, as always. I had forgotten how much I loved the garlic mashed potatoes but I will not forget again! We were in the first room and it was a tad bit dark, but the food is always excellent.

    Fast and efficient service by wait staff. Very appetizing filet mignon, tasty and hearty chicken soup, delicious Lemon Drop and yummy Root Beer Float reminiscent of my childhood. Wonderful overall ambiance and would highly recommend dining at EJ's Place.

    Loudest restaurant I have ever been to. Food and service were terrific, but you can't hear the person sitting across from you.

    EJs is so great we went two nights in a row. The menu is huge, with many delicious choices it’s easy to do. Fish one night and pasta another. Both excellent with flawless service. Fun, festive atmosphere!
