AJ's On Main

"What a joke! Friday lunch for my guests and it was awful. Place was mostly empty, but the service was lackluster and slow. BBQ tasted like yesterday’s leftovers and was served cold. I wish I could get my money and one hour of my life back. Stay away! I should have read the other recent low reviews and the owner’s pathetic responses."

"Had lunch at AJ's today and it was great. Pork ribs and beans were excellent and great selection of draft beer. Service and atmosphere excellent as well. Love this place!"

"As soon as we walked in the waitress looked as if we were disturbing her day. Granted there was only 1 person there when we walked in. She either has resting B face 24-7 or she was a resting B! Food was horrible. Chicken nuggets are in shape of elephants and over cooked. The catfish was not eatable, tasted like oil soaked bad fish. Had a bake potato that was cut in to pieces ( who does that) tossed in a microwave with some cheese and a slab of sour cream on top. pulled pork was old and dry. BBQ sauce seemed to be one out of a bottle, not bad not good, think of smoky ketchup. Not worth your time or money. Unsure how they are open, poor service, poor food, high prices for the trash you get. UPDATE: Their reply sums it up on service. Thanks for making my point. You just could not help yourself could you!"

"Nice, small, local joint. Good service. Good food. I would have liked to ribs to be a little smokier... But they had nice seasoning and were very tender."

"Fantastic hidden gem. This restaurant is directly next door to the railroad. We went for The North Pole Express and decided to pay to park in AJ's lot. The smell coming from the restaurant was so good we knew we were going to be having dinner there. The place is small and comfortable. There's indoor and outdoor patio seating The food is out of this world. My daughter and I shared the catfish and it is the best catfish I have ever had. The breading was delicious and not too thick. The fries are great. The cocktails are so good..... try the Mules, they have a variety of them. I don't have a photo of the full menu because they offer a limited menu during the North Pole Express busy season. Grapevine is a wonderful city with a lot to offer. It's worth a visit and when you're there or at the Great Wood Lodge go visit AJ's, you'll be glad you did. I can't wait to go back and try the smoked brisket or pulled pork."
