We enjoyed our favorite appetizer of crab cakes. They’re so delicious. We had Dover sole and chicken Parmesan. We had very nice cocktails too. Everything was outstanding. Thanks

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.
