Restaurant Week, we Love You !! I chose this establishment for RW week for a group of 8. Well, 4 made it. Parking was daggone near impossible but worth the fight. Upon walking in the establishment, great views and very welcoming. Great service by several staff members. Our most helpful staff member was Lincoln. He was very kind and humble. Soft spoken and helpful. Collectively, we ordered the following. Prixe Fix $40pp Crab Ragoon : Delish!! Great size, perfectly stuffed. Shrimp Carbonara : Great dish !! Greatly portioned, well plated, and great flavor. Chocolate Molten Lava Cake : Great size, warm and yummy rich. Prixe Fix $40pp Buffalo Brussels : Very good, great flavor, a little too Buffalo saucy. Peruvian Salmon : Well plated, a little overcooked, and could have used more flavor. Broccoli was a little overcooked. Rice... DELISH !! Soooo tasty. Chocolate Molten Lava Cake : Great size, warm and yummy rich. Smash Burger : Delicious, fulfilling, Long Island : Strong!! A great concoction. Buffalo Chicken Mac : So so. Dry. Blueberry Mojito Mocktail : Refreshingly perfect. Perfect amount of all ingredients. We really enjoyed our time spent at AJ's on Hanover and are already making plans to return.

We went to AJs on a football Saturday night. It wasn't too busy downstairs compared to other places. We sat in the back, downstairs. The TV was definitely too small to really enjoy watching the game from the back of the room. The food was great and our server was attentive. Although I wouldn't recommend the French soup. The bread that came with it was really good and buttery but the onions weren't cooked and caramelized enough and we thought it needed more cheese. The crunch wrap was good. It was nice and refreshing, not too heavy. It definitely was not overflowing with chicken. Pulled steak grilled cheese was also good. Maybe a little dry with certain bites of meat but otherwise it has juices and sauce. Overall, chill vibes, attentive server, and pretty good food. I'll certainly return to try some other menu items and check out happy hour deals.

Waiter was nice. They got an item on my order wrong, but apologized and quickly corrected it. Got fish tacos, fries, and chicken tenders, all of at least acceptable quality. The layout of the place was novel. Their dining is on the first floor, and their kitchen is in the basement. They have multiple large TV screens. Prices were acceptable. Was gonna rate this a 4, but am taking a star off, because they gave me 2.5% credit card processing fee. If they're gonna do that, they should have signs on their walls saying they should be paid in cash. You really could avoid this problem if you were willing to accept cryptocurrency like Litecoin and Dash, which I could have provided.

Absolutely great atmosphere. Amy and Ashton were incredible. Amy’s shots are incredible and deserve their own menu. 5 stars.

Had brunch here and the food was amazing. The breakfast Crunchwrap was super hot and fresh. I had it with no meat and it wasn’t a problem for the kitchen and I received it filled with egg, cheese and potatoes. So many other places just take the meat out and leave it half empty. The drinks were so good and the service was exceptional. They were always available if I needed something but weren’t hovering.Definitely will make it a regular stop.

Following up on Kasia’s review. The staff is amazing and will gladly serve anyone who comes into the establishment and says that they would like to be seated outside. As the chalkboard sign says “please see bartenders to be seated outside”The lady that wrote the terrible review brought a beer that was not purchased from ajs and assumed she would get service.Please ignore her comment. Staff is absolutely amazing

Terrible Service! Actually, non existent! We waited for service staff to stop by our table for 15 min. No one showed up. There were less then 10 people at the restaurant with the bartender completely oblivious to what’s going on. They have lost a neighborhood family business.

It's close to where I live, so this is my third try hoping it'll be better but it's really mid. This time I ordered the steak frites medium well and it arrived over cooked and presentation was pretty poor tbh. Taste was also not great.
