Kay Jay's Irish Pub in Pontiac

I brought my aunt up here for her b-day. We got a pizza. Prior, I checked the Internet for photos of their pizza & reviews. There was none so I was going to have the pleasure, & I say that lightly, of being the first. The pizza was undercooked. The slice I had was still doughy. Service was good, though, so that saved the cook.

The fried perch was good and the Mac and cheese was crazy good. Its nice to see they are expanding, they definitely need more room.

Good food, good service. Undergoing renovations but still serving.

Best place for hamburger and a beer,they are renovating to improve space and its going to be great.

Wednesday Prime rib special! Awesome service and great place!

Great food and great vibes!!

Great food nice people

It under renovations, the bar tenders are nice. But the blond bun girl was a little rude when I asked to cash in my pull tabs. Not sure if she works here but she was behind the bar when I asked, she said it wasnt her concern and to ask someone else. Im not sure if shes employee though, but she was behind the bar. So I figured. But a solid small bar.

They have good burgers, and cold beer. This is a great, casual place to stop and grab a bite and brew. The service was quick and friendly. Theyre currently in the process or a huge remodel, so I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Excellent food, very friendly staff, very fair prices especially on daily specials, one of our favorites!

The owner always takes care of us when we are there! Great breakfast and pizza! The refreshments are always cold too!

Went there with another couple. Was very pleased with service and the food was amazing. We started with the artichoke dip, and a Long Island Iced Tea. Best drink Ive had. I then ordered the pan fried walkeye. The vegetable medley under the perfectly cooked walleye was a true delight. Prices for food and drink were so reasonable. Will definitely try the salmon and other entrees on the next visit.

Best St. Paddys day meal that I had since visiting last year !

Rudeest bartender ive ever met. Always enjoy this place. Never had any problem with her before but shes too busy talking with friends than take a simple carryout order. I wont be back and plan to tell wife and my friends how its gone way down hill. Good luck wirh her as im sure im not alone and .😕😴 very disappointed as Ivee always tipped well and always will. I have came here for years and dont plan to return regardless of renovation. Veay 😥. My 💸 will be spent where its more appreciated.

The food is ok and I had decent drinks. Do not put cash in the jukebox. It doesnt work unless you use the app on your phone. As long as nothing goes wrong Im sure the service is fine. I wasnt impressed with my experience.

I went to kay jays cause i thought it was a low key dive bar, the bartender kept sliding me a tab for an hour and a half when i wasnt even drunl. This place is trash. Do not go here. Period.

If an establishment is going to give out free side orders and I order something different (not freeon the menu, then I expect a reasonable/equivalent proportion. Not a deli size sample. Either remove it from the menu or serve it just the same regardless of race creed religion (or lack there ofetc.

Great food & menu, friendly staff, fair prices. One of our favorites.

Again I give it 5:stars bc my car was breaking down wld only go 20 miles an hour pulled in there to wait for a friend to follow me back to work which I was two hrs late ooh nooo Im problly gonna hear about it today

This place has been around for years. I go here because it is a dive with cheap drinks. It has changed under the new ownership. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many beers they now have in tap. I did not try any food, but in the past this has been known by locals as the BEST Friday fish fry around. I did not eat any food this visit, so I cannot speak to the food quality under the new ownership. The parking lot and inside and outside of building are currently under renovation, Im excited to see what is coming. As much as I loved Coachmans slogan of "Warm beer and lousy food" please change it. You are no longer Coachmans...do your own thing.

Food is excellent service is top-notch and prices are very reasonable!

Good bar food specials, great service at a fair price.

Great food cold beer!!👍🏻

I go with my parents on Thursdays for 55 cent wings. But they have excellent food in general. Good specials and great staff

Called to place a carry out. We have been ordering every Friday for months. Been going there for years. I have been ordering grilled fish tacos for years. Whoever answered the phone was beyond rude. Said they don’t do grilled fish tacos. Just had them last Friday night. Told me she didn’t want to argue with me and hung up. In this day and time and trying to keep local business going not the best way to be treated. I don’t care how busy you are. It will be along time before we come back. So good to know that you are doing so well that you don’t need our business.

Great food ,great prices, outstanding service. Daily specials. plexiglas between the inside tables. Outdoor dining. I absolutely love this place, and you will too!

Prices way too high because of pandemic yet they pack people in past capacity ! Portions small,too many people inside small space! This guys a not right business man

Good hang out and interesting people. Food and service is great.

I dont recommend the combo appetizer. Burger was good. Service was great. Cheers!

Wings on Thursday night are the best! All the food is great never had anything I didnt like! Service is outstanding!

Altho the food was good, I have to say I was extremely disappointed in the service. I have NEVER left an exact change tip OR even a 15% tip. As a former industry worker I am a 20% minimum. My daughter even commented on never seeing me tip exact change. $3.49. Thats how much I left. It took almost 20 minutes to put in a food order after recieving our drinks. My food was wrong. She never came back to the table to check on the food or to asking we needed another drink. There was only 1 other table with people. There were 2 tables with dishes and apparently clearing those were priority. I had to find her to say my food was wrong as well as to request my check. Our food and drinks were gone for 5 minutes when we spotted our server doing shots at the bar with someone seated at the bar. We will not be back.

This place is a gem, the food is good! Huge pizzas for a great price, lots of tasty apps, all the dips are really good. One of my familys favorite places for carry-out. I like that the kitchen is open pretty late, so this place is good for late eaters. Prices are very reasonable for the portions sizes!

This place is a local hidden gem. Very reasonably priced, good service, and the food is quite tasty. I especially love their pizza, generous toppings, excellent pepperoni, and the crust is good. I love this place. Come early because it fills up fast.

Fun neighborhood bar with surprisingly good food. Wide variety of menu items. Pizza is excellent.

We love this place. The beer is cold, the food is awesome, and no one can beat their prices! Nice corner bar with regulars and friendly wait staff. We visit often. We just had the pizza tonight....its awesome!

Prices are great for drinks here. Girls are friendly and quick to get your drinks. Havent ate there yet, but Ive heard from several people there food is really good and reasonably priced. The place was packed.Update: Ok so I finally ate there and the food is amazing. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the Walleye. This is our new spot for date night. Looking forward to trying out other things on the food menu.

I frequently visit this place, and are never disappointed, food is always great, beer is always cold, craft beers are the most reasonably priced in the area, that is why I give this the best rating, just try it out, I think youll like it.

I had training in the area and decided to try it with a few buddies. The drinks were cheap and ice cold. Their pizza is AMAZING, with old fashioned pepperoni. The wings are fall off the bone. This is a good local bar with awsome food, cold drinks and cheap prices... try it you wont be disappointed..

2 tasty IPA craft beers and a BIG ole tasty Avacado Bacon burger for $16 bucks. Fantastic deal and bartendress Emily was excellent. Kitchens open late too! Ill be back the next time. 😋

jericha was very rude i love the atmosphere and joann shes the best but jerricka or whatever her name was. Is very rude and in considerate do not want her as my waitress and normallly i tip really good in fact i over tip but never ahain

Great food with awesome specials. The staff is great. If your looking for a good local bar this is the the place.

If you like a laid back, bar food, stiff drink kinda place, this is for you. They have bands and comedians come in. Good drink and food specials. Dont expect a lot of room, prepare to have a neighbor if you sit at the bar. In the morning, afternoon, and Eve. Breakfast sandwich is good and budget wise. It gets a little loud with conversation and sometimes keno cheers are heard, but thats the reason I really like this joint. Everyones a friend.

Great food for a terrific price. Pizza was terrific! Alyssa was a wonderful and sweet server. She a great asset to your establishment.

We go here all the time (love Euchre Mondays!-- Burgers are great, Pizza awesome, and the Shepards pie and mac and cheese cannot be beat. Friday fish? it is the place to go. They have the best waitresses, bartenders and cooks. Bill, you do a great job!

My husband and I started going here for our fish dinner ev Friday night for the last 6 years now, its good but honestly it depends on the whos the cook,. I can say the wait staff is friendly plus its a great place to get together with friends kind of like the sitcom Cheers

Been going there almost 30 years. Eat there a lot, all new girls working and are no good except Crystal.....the new cook sucks. My order I paid for tonight I was charged for the never gave me. There famous season froze suck. Service sucks. Its getting worse will never eat there again!!!!

This place is claustrophobic.Me and my friends went to it last night wanted to try it out. My living room is bigger than that place. Tables were old and not so clean. Not what we expected. To be fair, I wont rate the food because we didnt order anything. We left upon arrival.

Awesome place! Came up for "breakfast". Good food, nice beer selection. Bartender was awesome, regulars were tolerable. You know who I mean haha

My fiance Eddie Coyle & I call this Bar " Our Cheers Bar" he knows Everyone there & now I do too. Great food friendly environment. The owner Billy is so nice!

Any place that describes itself as having "warm beer and lousy food" wont be too upset if I call it a dive. Yet, the affordability of the place is also one of its charm. Sure, it had some of the worst, liquored up karaoke singers Ive heard. But,the Burger special cant be beat.
