Loved every moment here. I celebrated a girlfriend’s birthday, and we dined during brunch. The oysters were fresh. I enjoyed the cooked oysters as well…and my preference is usually raw. The pretzels were superb: I think that was our selling point of dining. Our server, Tony was fun! We’ll return and be sure to ask for him ☺️

Was only going into the lobby area to grab a coffee and take a look at the mosaic that was suggested by one of the park rangers. Looking at the menu we decided that a Philly cheesesteak was in order. It didn’t disappoint. Generous portion of fries and crispy onion and a chipotle mayo with a kick all accompanied by the best service we’ve had in a long time. Thank you Jordan for the drop of fizz to celebrate our 20th anniversary.It wasn’t busy but started to pick up just before we left at about 4pm. My wife and I truly recommend this place and was certainly value for money. We had a cheesesteak each, Diet Coke each and a large bottle of water. We opted against alcohol as we had more places to visit and a long walk back to the train station! Lol. Came to just over $70. Not that more expensive than some of the other diners we’ve eaten at on this trip but felt PJ’s was far better. Thanks again to Jordan and team. Rob & Dannii from the UK!

I’ve had lunch and dinner here and both have been an enjoyable experience. For lunch I came as a family and there’s so many choices that will appease both children and adults. The patience and personalities of the wait staff made it an INCREDIBLE experience to take my young child. Heading there with just my husband, sitting at the bar, was an amazing experience as well. The bartenders and staff made it a point to make us feel welcome and comfortable to enjoy a night out finally! Total experience is AMAZING, now let’s talk about food!
As far as kid food, my son is PICKYYYY! He LOVED the hamburger and fries, side of pickles! My husband and I were obsessed with the moules frites, deviled eggs, chicken pot pie and Maine lobster salad!
We have tried a ton of the cocktails and have been super impressed about the taste and presentation!

What a great lunch experience I had with my family on a day trip to Old City . The restaurant and servers were so friendly.
The Parmesan/Garlic Oysters were an amazing starter along with the Mussels and the NE Clam Chowder and the Deviled Egg Trio.
The meatloaf was delicious and my kids loved their burgers.
Very little room was left but I couldn’t pass on the NY Cheesecake which was as fluffy as it’s possible to make.
We loved their whole experience and will be back.

The food and service were good. The atmosphere was very corporate feel. I feel that most people there were on a business lunch. I took visiting son there for lunch. Like I said, food was good but over priced. Our lunch came to just under $100 with tip and tax. I would recommend this place for special occasions though. I have to mention that the burgers was cooked perfectly, medium rare. Out waitress was very attentive, almost too attentive. She asked us how was everything before we had a chance to take our first bite. It’s ok though, no complaints there.

I had a fantastic experience at PJ Clarke’s and can’t wait to go back.
I sat at the bar and Jess was amazing and took great of me! She was great answering my questions about the menu and wine offerings.
I had some oysters and littleneck clams from the raw bar and couldn’t pass up the lobster roll that came with perfectly crispy fries. The food was delicious and served promptly given they had a decent lunch crowd.
I love affogato so ordered that for dessert and it was sooooooo good! The gelato flavor was salted caramel with chocolate chips – heaven!!
So glad I stopped in and finally got to try this place out. I will definitely be back and hopeful Jess is working at the bar when I do!

Fancy happy hour oysters and G&T for cheap is me all day everyday. $1 oysters, and they added a few other items from their raw bar but stuck with just oysters. They were small yet salty and delicious. My gin and tonics were of the cucumber mint variety. While not normally a mint fan, I managed to suck down two of them. It’s fairly large but was almost full when I arrived right after HH started. I squeezed in at the bar, and was immediately greeted by the bartender. The service matched the decor, and I couldn’t help but order another round. I didn’t stay long as this was my last stop to pregame before I went to a concert at the Mann. I would be a regular here if I was local.

In from Galveston, TX for XPNFestival. Jessica was a great bartender and food was very good. Very nice restaurant with historical pictures of actors. Had to try the Philly cheese steak and it was very good as was the chips and dips.

The night before my last chemotherapy appointment for 2025, my wife and I wanted to celebrate the moment by going to PJ Clarkes happy hour. When we arrived, we learned a private party had closed the bar and there was no happy hour that night yet once the Maître D learned of our predicament, he charged into action. He soon had us seated at a high top table in a cute corner of the bar with top notch service provided by Aaron to enjoy happy hour. PJs has one of the best in the city,and we enjoyed classic bourbon old fashions, buffalo shrimp, delicious cheeseburger sliders, cheesesteak egg rolls. Off the menu we had incredible clams casino and an outstanding hot lobster roll we shared. The food was exquisite, the service impeccable. We promised to return when we hopefully get good news at the end of January my bladder cancer is gone. What a wonderful evening made extra special by these two lovely human beings.
