Loved it...after we found it. GPS said it was on our left, but until we saw the pic, we didn't know it was there. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, price reasonable. We shall return.

The place is lovely, great atmosphere. I had a brisket sandwich months ago. The meat was very tough. I mentioned it to the waiter and they didn’t seem to care about it. The burgers are great. Some of the other dishes are very pricey for the small amount of food, not referring to the “smaller meals”. I had a mojito drink( barely any alcohol), it was fine until I went to the Boatyard restaurant and the same drink was far superior, same price.

Really love the easygoing beachy vibes here. We had a great experience from great service to wonderful food to gorgeous views of the river. This is a great place to go for date night. Fresh attractive food. Vegan and gluten free choices. Even the bathrooms were clean convenient and well thought out. What's not to like. We'll try a cocktail next time.

It was packed but we got a seat at the bar and they served us food quickly. The tall beers are TALL! The food was great. Best philly cheese steak I've had in a few months and I've had 3 in under 24 hours today.

Amazing food. Great service. We stayed in Owego for two days and for two days we ate there. The place itself looks beautiful and has a great vibe. On the second day we came there with our dog and we were allowed to get a table outside. We tried many different dishes and they were all unbelievable! I wish to have a place like this close to my house! I don’t think I will be eating anywhere else when I get back to Owego! Whoever works in the kitchen...wow! Thank you for your hospitality!

One of the best hidden gems around here. The atmosphere is phenomenal and the constantly changing drink and food menus give you a new tastes to experience. They are usually busy but they amazingly keep wait times to a minimum. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Ordered the amazingly tasty flip-flop burger. I am used to ordering beef and having cooks ignore my preference (they all seem to like it rare). This Chef cooked it medium-well to perfectíon! Classy place. Packed house. Make reservations.

It was busy but we got our food very promptly! Staff was very friendly and great at multi tasking! Despite the volume of people the workers were very sociable and friendly! Prices were fair for the portion/quality. Great experience.

I'm not an adventurous eater, I usually stick to burgers. MJ's burger was awesome! Even though I was leary of the sauce and pickled cucumber and caramelized onions it was delicious. Service was also excellent! Thank you from Wisconsin!

Fantastic small plates, sandwiches and appetizers. Good selection of microbrews. Fantastic atmosphere. Hard to have a bad time (if you can get in! It's usually crowded.)

MJ's has one of the greatest set ups throughout the restaurant, making it very comfortable allowing you to relax while eating. Their service is fast and efficient. I have been there twice and both times were amazing and I loved what I got. I got the flip flop burger the second time I went and it was perfectly cooked and very enjoyable! It is one of my favorite restaurants.-Elena

I had the cheese steak after hearing a customer and the bar tender rave about it. It was tasty but pretty small. It comes on a baguette. Some people may like that I did not. I believe that a cheese steak should be soft and chewy not hard and crunchy. Appetizer was very good.

this place has great views, amazing food, and amazing staff. the cocktail menu is seasonal (with cocktail "throwdowns" to determine what's on there) and brunch?? Brunch is the BEST.

Very nice place, I would of given it five stars, but I was so cold even with a jacket on. Anyway, the important thing is the food, and it was yummy!! I had the Cuban, which is pulled pork on a panini, comes with fries that has a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the hummus with jalapeno, and it was delicious, tried to get recipe for that, but was told they do not give out there recipes. They need a different sign because the one they have is small and you drive right past the place if you're not paying attention. Waitress was very nice, and service was great. I will go here again.

This place is totally out of the way but fantastic. I had the cheesesteak which was excellent. The fries are amazing, they come with what looks like Bleu cheese but tastes milder, and a great dipping sauce. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. Definitely give this place a shot.

The menu is well balanced, and includes small plates to full entrees, with a nice selection of sandwiches and salads in between. Prices are reasonable, staying right around market average.Food was prepared quickly and nicely presented. Four of us dined, each ordering something different, and across the board, everything seemed fresh and tasty.The restaurant can be quite busy most evenings, and it's easy to see why. Staff was friendly, atmosphere cozy, and the food was good. I look forward to trying more selections from the menu soon.

Very good food. Very different entree selection from the norm. Nice atmosphere. Can't wait for the warm weather so the overhead door can be opened to the outside. Try it, you will be impressed.

Bar room restaurant with a slightly different menu. Different flavors on the menu if you are in the mood for such. I had the cheese steak it came with feta cheese and a tangy white sauce. Wife had the pork pho sandwich. Both were decent.

Very nice place! Love the decor, especially the fireplace. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of the best clam chowder soup bread bowls I've ever had (they actually remove most of the bread so you get a lot of soup). I had their cheese steak sandwich with the specialty fries yummmm. Can't wait to go back and try more stuff. Also! They have many gluten free items!
