Tj's Sports Lounge - Paignton

The server was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the meal was excellent. There were several dishes on the menu that I would have loved to try, but since it was late at night, I opted for something lighter.

It 's an OK experience. Definitely a convenient spot if staying at one of the nearby hotels, and wish to keep things simple, and have access to alcoholic beverages. Otherwise, not so sure I would place this at the top of my list for a weekend outing. Strangely, I found myself wishing they could turn up the volume on the music that was playing. Usually the total opposite of my wishes at other places. I could barely make out what song was playing. Lighting and atmosphere was a mixed bag of anything concrete. The spacious bar was more brightly lit than the dining room area, and the patrons were as diverse as they come. All ages and backgrounds. The most interesting group were those hanging out shooting pool, combo biker and studio- wrestling looking characters . The menu is frighteningly large. I never trust a sports bar that features an oversized list of way too many menu items. I think the menu had at least 4 full pages to it. My group ordered wings, so I didn 't have a chance to really experience the food side of this place. Wings were average. The bright spot of this visit involved the friendly and attentive service we received. Not sure if I will find myself here anytime soon but it was fun spending time with friends and taking in the scenery.

This is a fantastic local spot that brings to mind the cozy corner bars from my childhood neighborhood, but with ample seating. The staff here truly make you feel like a regular, regardless of whether it's been months or even years since you last dropped by.

Stopped in here the other night for some food. It is a little sketchy looking from the outside and is very dark inside. The place could definitely use a little remodeling and maybe a window or two. The food was hit and miss with my group. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and was not impressed. First, the bun is absurdly large, which would be ok if the chicken was large enough to go with it, but it isnt. Instead, the massive bun really overwhelmed the buffalo chicken and you ended up tasting nothing but bun. Also, the chicken was overcooked and not saucy enough. Some of the things we ordered were good, such as the buffalo chicken tenders and onion rings, but the main courses could have been better. I would probably stop back to try some of the other food because the menu has a ton of options.

I ordered the Sicilian grinder, which came with just one slice each of capicola, pepperoni, and salami. For a $10 sandwich, I found that to be quite disappointing. Overall, I was really let down.
