“Love this place, great French onion soup and good vibes”
“RJ Grunts is a great experience every time you set foot inside. Go for the happy hour on a weekend for cheap cocktails after 8:00 pm and a warm atmosphere. The food is always top notch as well. Highly recommend the French Dip, has been stellar each time I’ve had it.”
“really nice place for a quick but relaxing meal, I was kind of surprised the food arrived really quickly, and since I could not decide what to get I ordered chicken tenders. Perfectly breaded, tender and juicy- and terrific selection of dips, but the BBQ was perfect. Really hit the spot! Glad to have found them, highly recommend.”
“The service was great and the French dip was delicious. The grilled cheese was average.”
“The bar tender Joey was fantastic. Best bar tender I’ve ever had”
“Elena (Elaina?) was the best server we’ve had here! Love this place but service can be very slow sometimes but she made sure everything was taken care of!!”
“Great place, great atmosphere! Quick service and friendly people.”
