Jerseys Grill and Bar

Was in Wichita in business and my coworker took us to Jerseys. As we walked in the door, I could tell that this wasn’t going to be a good experience.
The overall vibe and condition of the restaurant gave me a bad feeling. In looking at the menu it was your basic bar and grill with little appeal. I chose the grilled chicken sandwich which is always pretty safe.
The waitress was friendly and very attentive. The food came and was lackluster. I don’t think that I would repeat.

Good food. Very good service. Ptompt and suggestive. Cheesesticks were very good. Southern fried fish crisp and flavorful. Nice adult bevs too, woll try again. A lil loud, but it is a sports bar.

Everything was awesome. (We came in town for work and showed up a few nights in a row). Service was great, food was superb and the drinks were stout. Andrew, Paige and the rest of the crew were incredible. Until the last night we came in and Aly was the bar tender. Keep in mind we have just about paid the light bill for the month and the closing time on Unilocal says 2:30am. Aly wasn’t having that. She said she «wanted to go home» and then called last call at 10:30pm. the rest was history. She doesn’t want to work late? Fine. DON’T WORK AT A BAR. On top of that-​Aly was taking to and bringing drinks to another gentleman at the bar after she had told us she called last call. Would have been 5 stars but Aly was the only negative in an otherwise great trip to the local bar and grill.

Okay, I’ve had a few «eh.» moments at Jersey’s. Nobody’s perfect, but some were quite poor. The last few visits have been above board! Recently we’ve stopped in for Happy Hour Specials that end at 7! Wow! On our visit this past Tuesday, both my wife an I ordered half priced drinks and the special Bone in Pork Chop. I’m not a fan of restaurant specials that I cook pretty well on my own grille, but it sounded good at the moment.
Wow! For $ 12 bucks, we both felt it was as good or uhm, well better than mine!!!
Great flavor and sauce piled high on stuffed mashed potatoes with tons of flavoring, cheese and bacon.
As for the drinks, they were «regular» and I like the heavy pours at Walt’s and Harry’s Uptown.
Server was really polite and good and got the 20% «good job» tip. Well keep going back.
Nice sports bar option for east-​siders. LOL, go Chef’s, right?
Try it out Unilocalers!

My husband and I came in for lunch today the food was amazing!!! The service even better our server was so sweet and stayed on top of all our needs!!! I can’t remember her name I think it was Morgan. we will be back and we will be telling everyone about our experience! Thank you!

You think you’re getting just a run-​of-​the-​mill sports bar but now after a second time picking how special these off their good size in comprehensive menu I have found that their food is much more qualified then a run of the mill sports bar. If you’re in Wichita on the northside take time to check this place out food is excellent

It was decent. Food it’s pretty good. Beer selection is ok. Not a bad place. They have sand volleyball courts out back. They seemed pretty popular with the locals. It’s not great but it’s not terrible either.

Jersey’s is a fairly typical sports bar/​grill establishment. They have decent food for decent prices. The atmosphere is good and the service is reasonable.
So why 4 stars then?
They have really good weekly specials and I am addicted to their chips and dip. I know it sounds trivial but their homemade chips combined with the dip is actually really good.
Specials (as of April 2015) are:
Monday — Buy one get one burgers & $ 10 buckets of domestic beer
Tuesday — Kids eat free & $ 7 domestic pitchers
Wednesday — $ 1.50 build your own tacos (beef, chicken, or catfish) & $ 3.50 Margaritas
Friday — Prime rib special & $ 2 off big beers
Daily happy hour is from 4−7pm with ½ price drinks and $ 5 appetizers.

Food was good and loved the atmosphere. I got the feeling the waitress just wanted me to leave since I wasn’t spending a lot of money. I felt this way because 2 bites into my dinner she asked if I wanted a box and dropped off my check.

Food is amazing and made by a chef from scratch. THIS is not bar food. Staff is weloming and friendly. Nightly specials and superb atmosphere. Go no further Than Jerseys…

Husband ad I were in the process of buying a new Volvo when I had mentioned that I was getting hungry. The saleman at Volvo handed us a couple of $ 10 gift cards from Jerseys and told us to go grab something while they finished up our paperwork. Cool we thought. Never have been to Jerseys, we were game to try something new! It was approx. 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon — I understand this is an off time for any restaurant. However when we pulled up, there were who I presume to be employees (3) sitting on the patio one smoking, the others deeply engrossed in their phones. They stared at us as we got out and went inside. Inside there was NO ONE around. We stood awkwardly for about 5 minutes, then I said «Hello» rather loudly a few times… waited…nothing…no one… nada.
Disgusted, we turned around and got back into our car, same employees watched us leave. Threw away the gift cards — will never be back. Sorry Jersey’s I will give my business to those who want it.

Appetizer and beer decent, other than that… awful. Servers nice but SLOW. Ribeye all fat, wilted lettuce salad, canned vegetables and flat sodas.

Had the Club Sandwich. It was tasty. Good size. The fries were good, not too overlooked like I sometimes get. Staff was super friendly and pleasant. Will certainly be back.

Ate here tonight with a group from work as part of a catered party. The service was excellent and the tables are spacious with a ton of TV’s for your sports viewing pleasure. They made us a HUGE cheeseburger, topped with ham, lettuce, fried onions, and tomato on a huge grilled bun with a special aioli. It was incredible. The burger was at least a foot in diameter served with an equally large tray of «Crazy Fries» — fries topped with cheese, barbecue sauce and other wonderful things.
Would love to go back and try something off the regular menu. They knocked it out of the park on my first visit.

The food is great! Love all their burgers and flatbread pizzas. They have grilled catfish and salmon both are yummy. Happy hour is Mon through Sun from 4 to ! Great place to hang out

The service here made my visit absolutely regrettable. The food was alright, despite the fact that four of our eight items were made incorrectly. The server was very inattentive and we waited over 15 minutes for a refill. I think the biggest disappointment of the evening was the management — or lack thereof. At most restaurants in town if something is sent out wrong from the kitchen, management will stop by to apologize. There was none of that at Jerseys. Needless to say I won’t be returning.

We came to watch a game and grab dinner, and were surprised to find sand volleyball courts full of people! Whoa… it’s October! I wonder what the sand bar is all about?
We enjoyed excellent service from the bartender. He was both attentive and fast on his feet. I ordered off the new «Chef Inspired» menu, and tried the chips and queso. Fresh but non-​salty chips and warmish queso.
Instead of ½ pound cheeseburgers, I got two flat patties on a kaiser bun. They were fine, but the menu said nothing about doubles. Odd. Tasty housemade fries salted correctly.
The restaurant looks clean, and I like the feel of the bar. They have a decent amount of beers on tap, too. Would definitely recommend sitting in the cozy bar. The rest of the place is dead and looks like a scary hunting lodge.
Is that an arcade I see? Whaaaaat…:)!

This place has several signs of a restaurant on the decline, with little hope of resurrection from what I witnessed on my visit there. That is unless something drastic happens at this place with the management.
My friend and I showed up at Jersey’s on a Friday night and looked over the menu. A good standard assortment of foodstuffs and I was actually impressed with the beer selection. They had a couple I hadn’t tried yet.
The server was friendly enough, but I became concerned when I asked her what she would suggest. Although she had a couple of suggestions from each side of the menu, she didnt’ seem enthusiastic about any of the food. Basically she pointed out a selection of the «house specialties». When asked about the prime rib, she stated that she thought they were out, but she would check. I told her if they were, no big deal, I would try a pasta dish instead. My buddy ordered a steak, medium.
So my buddy and I waited for our food to arrive. Mine listed as being roasted until it’s ordered, then it was placed hot on the plate ready to go, It took about 20 minutes for us to get our dinners, and by the time they arrived mine was luke warm at best. My buddy cut into his steak, and where there should be a hot pink center, it was grey. He sent his back, getting a replacement that they «Took from another order».
When it arrived it was still overdone, but judging from our waitresses reaction, the grill had been doing this quite a bit. We could tell from where we were sitting that food wasn’t the first thing they were concerned about.
So we finished what was on our plates and the waitress came with a ticket for each of us. Despite having legitimate concerns, we never once saw a manager, and the tickets came out at full price. I don’t mind paying for my food, but if something is wrong with it, it should be addressed.
So I stated earlier that this place needed something to prevent it from crashing. From reading some previous reviews and my personal experience here, I believe that what this place needs is strong management. Someone who inspires their employees to work for them. Someone who is willing to train the employees on health code and the importance of customer service. Also it seemed my impression that the staff hadn’t tried a majority of the foods there. To me, at the very least the staff should have a few favorites on the menu, so when asked «what’s good here». They have a real response.
Would I come here again? No.
Would I reccomend a friend to try it? Absolutely not.

Tonight I watched the bartender Amanda serve nachos from a table that had left. This item was not touched by group. She asked the gentleman at the bar if he would like for free as this is what he ordered. She even laughed and said she will help eat them.
DISGUSTING!

Good on Jerseys for proving that a proper sports bar can thrive in the extreme northeast part of town. Service is nice and prompt, everyone’s happy, and I’m sure there’s already a devout series of regulars, including one dude who drinks martinis and sits at the bar with his iPad.
There’s a big sports bar menu with the regular host of sports bar foodstuffs, and it so happens that tonight I was in the mood for pizza, so I ordered up the Voodoo, a pizza topped with «smoked sausage», «caramelized onions», and «our Cajun spiced red and green bell peppers».
The regular pizza components I thought were banal — too much low-​moisture mozzarella, underseasoned sauce, and a crust that, while thin and with a bit of crispness, lacked any color at all. But I was surprised by the toppings, which were clearly prepared separately and added to the pie once they were most of the way there. So while there wasn’t a lot of Cajun spice on the peppers, the andouille was browned well, the onions were softened and browned too (caramelized might be a stretch), as were the red and green bell peppers. Unfortunately, you can’t hinge a successful pizza on the quality of the toppings, so I think I’m done. At the same time, those toppings got some care that may well translate to some other items on the menu, so further investigation might be in order.
One thing that is certainly not debatable is the manner in which the bartenders have been trained to pour the beer. Whether you call it the «stadium pour» or a «northern pour» if you’re in England, the practice of pouring beer by sticking the entirety of the tap into the glass so as to prevent any head from forming is absolutely and unequivocally the incorrect way to pour beer. The first reason is slight, but it’s one of sanitation: over time, yeast and eventually bacteria can collect on the tap, and submersing it into the beer would mean that said bacteria would then be going into your face. The second, better reason is that a proportional amount of head is as much a part of the experience of beer as the yeast, water, barley, and hops that go into the brew itself. It caries the majority of the aromatic profiles and I wouldn’t want a beer served without it. It doesn’t matter if you’re drinking the crap stuff (of which seemed to possess a majority of the available taps) — it’s poor practice, and I watched as both bartenders continued to pour the beer in this fashion. Something is wrong here.
There’s clearly something at work when it comes to the food, and I wouldn’t mind going back to try something else on the menu. I’m moving on from the pizza, though. And I’m absolutely ordering a bottle until their pouring style is fixed.
