Lj's Neighborhood Bar & Grill is a popular spot that has experienced some decline in recent times. The service remains generally good, with friendly and attentive staff, and the pub-like atmosphere makes it a family-friendly place. The food has been inconsistent, with some dishes like the fried pickles and fries disappointing, as the fries have been bland. However, the quesadillas have shrunk in size but still taste good, and the shrimp basket is a highlight, featuring hot, fresh, and crispy shrimp. Many customers enjoy the drink specials, such as the Salted Carmel Martini and Cedar Valley Splash, which are quite popular. The restaurant looks quite rough on the outside but is much nicer inside. Food quality has improved for some, with excellent dishes like the LJ’s hand breaded fish, cooked perfectly with tasty sides like garlic mashed potatoes and mac n cheese. The wings are a favorite for many, and despite minor setbacks like delays, the food remains delicious. Prices are reasonable, and overall, Lj's Neighborhood Bar & Grill continues to be a good place to enjoy a meal with friendly service.
