“We went on a weekday.....the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Beer special was great.... pitcher of Yuengling for $8. The only issue is there was no waitress, so we had to move to the bar to order. The poor bartender did everything but cook. Hopefully they have more help on weekends!“
“Every time I come here during a week day, they only have about 3 people out front serving. The poor bartender was tasked with serving everyone bar side, not just the people at the bar. You could clearly she was doing her best diligently working, but still took 5-10mins to get a draft beer.Always someone different brining out the food since my actual server is swamped with other guests. They need to up their employees per shift.“
“You are getting what you come for at the Backer. I lived right across the street in undergrad, and I would go at least every other week. A definition dive bar- but during parent weekends, game weekends, and graduation- the place is packed to the nines. The tradition of the place is unbeatable. Lick the pole - but only after a few rounds.“
“I might be biased because I used to work at a different location, but their food is always on point and the service and atmosphere is excellent.Parking: Estimated 50 parking spotsKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and even though they serve alcohol it is a family-friendly establishment“
“Such a fun vibe and the food is GREATTTTTTT ! We ordered a burger, chicken sandwich, loaded fries, onion rings, wings, bangbang shrimp, we came hungryyyyyy and were disappointed! Our new fave place, everyone here is happy and just wants to have fun ! Thanks!“
“Great food, great service. Kip was great and food was out quick although they only had 1 cook. Drinks were very reasonably priced and the food was 10/10. First time here and I will definitely be back. Great spot to bring friends and family, plus they have karaoke on Thursday’s and a pool table. It’s my new favorite bar!!“
“CJ's Pub is the place to be in South Bend! Not only do they cook up the best burger in town, they have an electric bar scene on the weekends. The staff is always welcoming and the vibe is very familial. If you are ever in South Bend, looking for some great food and a great time, you should definitely stop by CJ's.“
