We had tried to go to AJ at least twice before, each time to find locked doors. I called and was told they really were only open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sounds like a hobby for someone instead of an actual going concern. We stopped in on our way home from work, and found ourselves alone; an older couple came in shortly before we left. I can imagine that when it's dark outside, and all the neon and whatnot is lit inside, it can be an interesting place to hang out. But the sunlight streaming in the windows last night didn't do it any favors. \n\nThe hub had ordered chips, salsa and guac by the time I got there. The salsa was watery, and the fact that it shared a bowl with the guac didn't help either one. And the chips were totally stale; I imagine they were left over from last Saturday night. Our server was obviously unhappy to have to tell us that the fryer was down, so we couldn't order any sides that had to be fried. Really? You're only open three nights a week, and the fryer is down? Sure hope you get it fixed before Friday... \n\nThe burger I had was surprisingly good, but the bacon tasted very strange. And I had a bizarre side dish I never expected to see on the menu in a place like this...a large serving of tricolored quinoa that was presented totally devoid of any moisture...no dressing, no veggies mixed in, nothing. The house special pizza the hub ordered was good, though.\n\nService was good, although when the hub ordered Coke, an open carafe was brought to the table along with the glass...so all the fizzies disappeared. Those plastic carafes could use some replacing; the two we saw, for the Coke and the water, were all cracked and scratched. \n\nThis is a place for John Taffer if I ever saw one..."^^ .
