T J’s Sports Garden Restaraunt

Not too bad. My buffalo chicken wrap was pretty good. I like the popcorn appetizer. A family of 5 ate for under 50 bucks. The coleslaw needed some seasoning but wasn’t terrible. The Cobb salad was not very good and the fries were terrible but over all not a bad meal just not great. Service was nice but the menu and décor were slightly confusing, I wasn’t sure what kind of food they were going for seafood or sports bar?

The food is expensive, the portions are stingy and the menu is unimaginative and corny.
I will say the tv wall is incredible and the restaurant is clean.

I think you are paying for wall of televisions not food. Food was mediocre and best and gave 2 out of 4 of us diarrhea. From out of area and will not come here when we come back.

1 word sums up this restaurant… GROSS! Floors were extremely dirty. Draft beer was flat, Sierra Mist was unflavored seltzer water– when questioned waitress– said she gets a lot of complaints but that was «normal» flavor/​taste for their Sierra Mist! Coleslaw had a sour taste. Ordered mild wings– they had an ODD taste. Very disappointed with this restaurant! If you want to have a GREAT dining experience in Wheeling– DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

I’m a firm believer that everyone and every place has a bad night, so I’ve now tried this place three separate times. Each time I felt both drink and food prices are some of the highest for the area. The wrap I had one night was alright, but left hungry. The boneless wings I had for the pitcher and wings special were a joke as it was mostly breading. Some servers seemed tired and put off, while others were friendly enough when they actually did pay attention to anyone other than the few regulars you could tell were always in there. The place has potential but seems everything is still the same from 30 years ago. Let’s just say for a sports bar with a big special on Monday night football the place was pretty much dead… from what I understand and hear its mostly the food quality has gone down and prices have gone up over the last several years.

The food here is great. All items in the menu are recommended. When ordering wings be sure to ask for extra crispy or they will not be cooked well.

The food here is really good, love the chicken Caesar wrap, beef tips with rice and fried cod. The service is always good and they make you feel welcomed. Everyone at the bar is friendly during the games.

I can honestly say that i was blown away by my experience here. Service was on point and the food exceeded expectations. I witnessed a steak salad served with french fries IN THE SALAD — boom next level order. Lets talk atmosphere… this place had it all, from the sports themed décor to the «21 Club Room» off to the side. What is the 21 club you might ask — only a place where you can gamble and go to flavor country (smoke) at the same time. All in all you would have to be a FOOL to not stop by TJ’s on your next trip through Wheeling. I know I will.

Went to TJ’s in December, 2014. It is very close to the I-​70 exit. Menu has several options. Restaurant itself had a warm, inviting feel to it. Waitress was fairly friendly, and the owner checked on everyone. Free popcorn when you sat down. I had the beef tips over potatoes, my wife had a panini, one son had a burger, and the other had chicken fingers. Portions on the adult menus could have been larger for what was charged. Beef tips were excellent, potatoes weren’t bad, gravy was out of a can. Wife enjoyed her meal. Kids liked theirs.

I would look at a few other places next time I’m in Wheeling. It seemed like it would be a great bar for a game. Just wish I got more food for my money.

I really don’t understand why people continue to go to TJs. Food and service are just meh, and the prices are too high for the quality of food. I’ve never been here and haven’t eventually regretted it.

No better place to watch football! Every year I come into town to visit family. It’s usually during football season. I am always in need of good sports bar. TJs has never failed. A whole wall of TVs that looks like a Vegas Sportsbook, a ticker with sports updates, and personal TVs at the booths. How could anyone not like this place? The owner (I think) walks around a greets everyone usually dogging on my Cowboys but it’s all in good fun and really makes you feel welcome. Beer, TVs, and jalepenos cheese pretzels. What more could you want?

We went for lunch, very fun set up and atmosphere. Waitresses were very nice and did a nice job. We had the tomato cucumber salad, a cup of bean n ham, and New England clam chowder, all very good. My husband also ordered the meatball and breadstick appetizer, that was surprisingly extremely good, soft tasty meatballs, perfect marinara sauce and soft pizza like bread sticks. And the tuna in the tomato was made up very nicely even though it was a little heavy on the mayo for me. Our servers did a nice job. Would go back again when we return someday. :)

We are from out of town and stopped in late in the evening for dinner. TJ’s is a local sports bar which serves a typical sports bar menu. I ordered the fresh cod fish and chips., which was good. She ordered a chicken sandwich which was also good. Everyone we talked with was friendly and the service was just right.
I would recommend TJ’s if you are looking for good service and a chance to watch the game. I would come back next time I am in town.

Food is mediocre. We got the Buffalo Dip and it had so much cheese it almost grossed me out but underneath the dip was tasty. My boyfriend didn’t care for it and the chips served with it were stale. Coleslaw was ok but the Jovanni Sandwich was ON POINT! I really loved it and I’m hard to please. Boyfriend got the Filet Mignon tips and they too were good. Drinks were way over priced tho. Not a choice drinking spot, cheaper drinks at the bar next door.

This place has a good atmosphere, good pool tables, drinks, big screen tv’s, attractive waitresses but not good food. Well, the popcorn is ok. I grew up in Wheeling. I’ve been going there since it opened. The food is basically a remake of a Big Boy restaurant. The owners used to own a few around the area, but that food was better. They’ve really let the food go down in quality over the years. Not that is was that good anyway. The cooks are just kids so what do you expect? It’s a good time. The burgers aren’t bad. The fish sandwich is good. The fish is from coleman’s. The Slam Jam is ok. Big Boy Slim Jim. Take it with a grain of salt and add that to your free popcorn.

This place needs a «Bar Rescue». The menu has (no kidding) about 79 items to choose from — not including drinks. The food is NOT very good.

Great place to watch the game and have a beer. The girls are attractive and friendly. Downside is food blows royally, I refuse to eat there. Crappy cole slaw with every meal, only edible item is the hamburger steak. Try it out make your own opinion.

O MG I’m so mad and hungry, I can’t believe how this place hit the skids! I wanted to eat at NAIL CITY, but they were closed because it was sunday… so I went to this dump. We ordered 2 oriental chicken salads… easy right? Not for this place… hugh salad bowl of almost full sized lettuce leaves, and exactly 3 tiny oranges per bowl. I complained to our waitress, who sent the manager (8−11−13).He asked where we lived in polite conversation, and mentioned a restarunt in our town that I got food poisening in a year ago as one of his favorites… said he was going to take care of the salad presintation, but not our meals… no exchange, NOTHING! I’m a busy hairdresser in the area, 10 to 20 clients per day, and you can bet I would NEVER recommened this dump again… What a shame, we are in town sooo often an this could have been on our list of great places to go… SHAME ON YOU!

Surly hostess led us to our sticky table. Ordered a hot cheese dip appetizer that was so stiff you had to take a knife and clump it on your chips because it was so «un-​melty», ended up leaving it. The sandwich I ordered was OK, the cheeseburger my friend got was small. I asked for the bill, she brought it out and took our plates as she left. My friend was at the time taking a bite of his burger, had a plate full of fries and I had food on my plate too. I tracked her down and she brought new fries out but by then everything had been so wrong about the whole visit we were ready to leave. Expensive for what you get, menu lacks imagination, food is borderline and the hostess and waitress don’t bring any charm to the table.

TJ’s is THE sports bar in the Ohio Valley (is there even competition?) Tables covered with trading cards. Walls adorned with local sports memorabilia. TV’s everywhere. Several pool tables. A handful of arcade games.
Food = decent. My father used to bring me here all the time when I was young and I was always pleased. My palette may be a bit more refined now, but I’ve never had a bad meal here. Beer=cheap. If I remember correctly, a pitcher is $ 5. But it’s been a while.
There’s a pretty spacious glassed off room that’s great for private parties and meetings.
