Always a good time, great service, and reasonable pricing!

Probably the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. The wait staff ignored us for 20 minutes while others were promptly greeted, there were multiple wrong orders around us, our waitress decided to sit and chat with other guests looking at their Instagram while we waited to pay and we waited for so long we had to ask another waiter to please take our check. There were 2 staff members smoking out back when we tried to leave so we could not go that way nor could we leave due to two people in cars yelling at each other blocking the exit to the point where we had to call the restaurant to ask them to move and then one of the employees got in one of the cars to move it. It sounds fake, I wish it was, but it’s so true and unbelievable. We will not be back or recommend others here.

We came to Universal Joint for the first time tonight. The vibe was amazing. The service was top notch. Pat was excellent and we can’t wait to visit again soon. He makes spectacular drinks and provided exceptional customer service! Thanks Pat we just become one of the regulators. Can’t believe we haven’t been here before!

Long haired, young, bar manager was completely inappropriate. Grabbed my arm by the wrist & tried to be aggressive. "His friends" were in the location & were overly intoxicated. They got aggressive for no apparent reason. When notified, the long haired manager physically grabbed my arm & when I said stop, he told me he'd call the police because he "trusted his friends" more than me. Been to this location many times & had great service before with Cody & Julie. Never had any issues. I will never go back with this insecure, long haired gentleman serving as the manager. You shouldn't either. If you're in Lawrenceville, I recommend to go to Truck & Tap instead, where they are actually cordial & give great customer service.

3-23-24 @ 9:15pm! Me and my Date arrived to have dinner and as the waitress tried to seat us we requested a booth! She stated that she could only give us a table top or this one booth that was directly at the front door in which they were preparing silverware on! Although there were many other available tables! I spoke with the manager as well and he stated that they were saving those tables for larger crowds that wasn’t in the line or in the parking lot waiting to be seated!! I would have thought that it was 1st come 1st serve in America!!! This place made me feel as if my money was no good! We left their facility and found ourselves eating at Oyster bay cafe across the street were the food and service was awesome!!!!!!
