Best wings, round pizza, and nachos in the area! But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Best sports bar in town and bartenders are the best!

The place is a cool bar for the games but the food is not good. The burger tastes like a cheap frozen meal I'd expect from McDonalds. Not a sports bar

Came for food, but was shocked to find their kitchen was already closed 9pm on a Saturday night, off of a busy street in Ferndale.. Do they even want customers??? IDK.

J’s is our favorite go-to spot. The staff are truly awesome - so kind and go out of their way for customers, especially Jake who we cannot say enough nice things about. Food is always excellent, far far above & beyond typical bar food - love everything from their dill pickle pizza to wings to salads to delicious chicken tenders. Take-out pizza is also a great option. And drinks are consistently flowing. Great place to watch games or just hang out on any given night. Proud to call this place our fave neighborhood haunt!!

I went for the Lions vs Cowboys game. I came by myself while my girlfriend was at a local private event with a friend. This was the first time I’ve gone to a bar by myself and I felt completely welcome and comfortable. The staff and patrons were all friendly. There is a tv to watch from every angle you are seated at. The food was great, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

This is one of my favorite places to drink and eat a pizza in the ferndale area. The owners are so nice and involved with their business, the overall vibe is good and their pizza is half off on thursdays which is actually very good tasting!!!! The bartenders have always treated my boyfriend and i so sweetly and the drinks have always been strong but reasonably priced. Best sports bar in the area, masculine sports vibe but very LGBTQ friendly love this place

The server forgot my drink twice, gave us the wrong sides, and then at the end of the night the owner pushed us out of our seats to seat others coming in before we even had our bill or our carry out order. One of the worst experiences I've he'd in Ferndale and I'll never be back with all the options for places I won't be treated like I'm in the way.

This place is the true epitome of what Ferndale never knew they needed for years. The owners are so kind and welcoming and they have some egg rolls that are "slap-yo-mama" delicious. DO NOT forget this gem of a place and run by some wonderful owners!

First thing we are greeted with is the owner screaming "BACK UP!" In our faces... Not cool at all. We were trying to find our friends we were meeting up with and he was probably the rudest owner of an establishment I've ever met. Very condescending when nobody asked. The waiters and servers were very kind and accommodating however, so that at least made up for their boss's terrible behavior.

Lovely place, lovely people, great food. Their pizza is amazing and it's half off on Thursdays!

Best sports bar and best nachos in the area. Great atmosphere especially during Wings and Lions games. All the food is solid as well. Highly recommend.
