This place is horrible - the way they treat some of their guest is unbelievable. Also the response for the manager - please have some class !!! Will go else where. Other places I would rather give my money to.

I've driven past PJ Skidoos multiple times, and have always wanted to stop in. I'm happy I did. Inside you're greeted by a friendly hostess who walks you through a beautiful, dark wood, dining room. The walls are covered with relics from the past. We ordered finger foods: chicken fingers, and potato skins. Both were outstanding. Lastly, I ordered the French Onion (I try them wherever I go). Overall the FO Soup was good, it had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn't overwhelming with onions. My only suggestion would be a pinch more salt in the broth. Side note* I would have ordered an Old Fashion if the bar had ice molds (Large Ice Cube). I'm not sure why bars don't carry the silicone molds to make them. All that being said, I'll be back, and I'll bring friends.

The food was cold and flavorless. The service, ambience, and music were among the best I’ve experienced in this area—I’d definitely come back, but not on an empty stomach
Our visit to P.J. Skidoos was truly fantastic, characterized by delicious, hot food and outstanding service. The nachos surpassed our expectations, ranking among the best we've ever tasted, while the well-priced menu offered plenty of enticing options. The indoor restaurant seating area with its high ceilings added to the inviting ambiance of the place. We left P.J. Skidoos impressed and eager to return, considering the prospect of enjoying their brunch or participating in Trivia Night. The overall experience was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to providing top-notch fare and hospitality, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining outing. Make sure to include P.J. Skidoos in your list of go-to spots for a satisfying meal and enjoyable atmosphere.

We always take our high school robotics team here after a local competition. We're a large, chaotic group but they always take care of us and make sure we're happy. I love the buffalo chicken sandwich and their burgers, but other parents often get the ribeyes and are always happy.
We stopped by this place randomly because we were starving. We left drunk and happy. The BBQ Ribs and the Burger that they serve were amazing. The spinach dip with chips was so good that my wife took advantage and ate almost all of it when i wasn’t looking. We obviously had to order extras because why not. 5/5 for

We hosted my dad's celebration of life in the banquet room on 3/16/24. It was perfect! The food was delicious and the entire staff could not have been nicer, more accommodating or professional. There were lots of great touches like signs pointing the way and use of a podium and a microphone. The room is large and lovely. I cannot recommend them enough for a large gathering.

I've been coming here for a while now and it's always lively and the employees are polite and friendly. The food is good and it's not expensive, the quesadilla is my favorite. A couple days ago I witnessed an older homeless lady come and ask for food, after watching a customer complain to management and having the lady escorted out of the establishment he goes on to speak ill of her all night long. I know the manager helps the homeless by donating some of the food to the shelter nearby, however that customer did nothing but show how bottom of the barrel some people can be. If you read this do better dude, that was embarrassing on your end.

I had the unfortunate experience of witnessing the utter lack of compassion and empathy at P.J. Skidoos, a restaurant that claims to offer hospitality but evidently falls short in the most basic of human decency.While dining at this establishment, I encountered an elderly homeless woman who bravely walked in and asked if someone could spare her a meal. Displaying a modicum of humanity, I offered to buy her food and instructed her to select whatever she desired from the menu. Little did I know that my act of kindness would be met with callousness and disdain from the restaurant's management.Within minutes, the manager emerged and callously escorted the woman to the lobby, demanding her departure. Despite my protestations and explanation that I had invited her to dine with me, the manager not only refused to serve her but also instructed the kitchen staff to withhold the meal I had ordered for her. This heartless act was compounded by the unnecessary involvement of law enforcement, as a swarm of Fairfax City Police officers descended upon the frail, elderly woman as if she were a dangerous criminal.The manager's feeble justification for his actions was based on the ludicrous notion that this vulnerable woman posed a threat, a claim that reeks of prejudice and discrimination. It's evident that P.J. Skidoos lacks any semblance of a protocol for handling homeless individuals, preferring instead to treat them as pariahs to be swiftly removed and ignored.If the presence of homeless individuals truly poses a concern for P.J. Skidoos, there are far more humane and dignified ways to address it. Implementing measures such as having a staff member at the entrance to politely redirect homeless individuals or offering a simple bag with sustenance would demonstrate a commitment to both customer comfort and social responsibility.As someone who owns multiple businesses, I am appalled by the abhorrent treatment that this woman endured at the hands of P.J. Skidoos. Regardless of her life circumstances, she deserved to be treated with dignity and respect. The callous actions of the staff and management reflect not only a failure of basic human decency but also a shameful disregard for the values of compassion and empathy. I implore anyone considering dining at P.J. Skidoos to think twice before supporting an establishment that values profit over compassion.

They've got good food here, and I haven't been disappointed with anything except the calamari, which was a bit too salty. My personal recommendations are the london broil, chicken scallopini, and shrimp scampi. Service is really nice. It's a great place to go dancing with friends.
