Jamboozies Sports Bar & Grill

Not a bad place for bands, not to loud and the crowd looked like they were having fun, the seating in the place could be a lot better. The place was packed wile the Joey V band played, they defiantly rocked the house that night. A cover charge to see my friends play, that did not go over to well with my friends and I. Our waitress Jen was awesome. The next time I visit I will try the pizza and see how the food is. The DJ screamed into the microphone and distorted his voice but other then that he played songs to keep the dance floor moving.

Jamboozies saved my night.
We were doing a work outing that I had planned to go to CJ barrymores. The day we decided to go was the day they decided to update their hours and now we’re closed. So we called Cart 2 Cart go kart racing. Confirmed they would be open til 10… well we got there at 8 and they were closed too!
Fearing a disaster, I spotted 2 bars across the street, the more enticing of which was Jamboozies.
We rolled in on a Tuesday night about 8 deep. Turns out it was industry night (and we’re all restaurant people… thus going out on a tuesday) so half off everything… plus Karaōke, although that can be a mixed bag.
The server was very nice and attentive. She even sang a couple songs (and did it well). We ordered several different appetizers to share and they were all on point. Fresh and flavorful. Much better than I anticipated from a bar.
The Karaōke was hilariously awesome. The 70ish old guy who sang Elvis. And his 90ish year old dad singing Sinatra? Classic.
The only downside was their was no song list. You had to think of a song and see if they had it. I do better with a visual list… but that’s just a small critique.
We are headed back for our Christmas party and the team is excited. GG Jamboozies.

Went there last night to meet my girls for drinks and my one girlfriend got there early and was afraid to go in by herself. I have to agree, the outside is uninviting (–1 star for being unwelcoming and scary to some). We walked through the door and and was slammed with stale smoke in the entryway/​foyer, it was nauseating. It is very obvious that management allows the ‘regulars’ to smoke in the entry way when cold and/​or raining; which it was both that night (–1 star for the gratuitous lack of respect for the law & your non-​smoking patrons).
Sat down and was served within the first 3 minutes, not bad. Our Waitress, Jenny, was amiable, but not attentive, due to it looked as if she was the only waitress there that night. Noticed several Baby Boomers having dinner, so I thought the food must be cheap & good.
After drinks were had, and my friends left, I went up to the bar to order carry out. The bartender, all flustered said he could not take my order since my tab was already started. After waiting another 3 – 4 minutes for my waitress to show up, I went back to the bar to ask for her, to which his reply was «I put in your order» (ah, so you can take me order). I set my timer to how long it would take, since I’m addicted to John Taffer & Bar Rescue (which I think Jamboozies could use his expertise), and after 20 minutes I asked the waitress where my food was. I could hear her talking to the chef/​cook/​kitchen staff, and they said give them another 6 minutes. Well, it took a total of 29 minutes & 32 seconds to receive my food after I placed my order (–1 star for wait time). I could maybe understand if the place was packed, but that is ridiculous; note — aforementioned Baby Boomers were well past eating at this time.
Jenny was very apologetic, not trying to make excuses, but showing genuine regret (+1 star for her customer service).
Got home and tasted the food. The nightly special, Spicy Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, was so rich, we split it as a side dish. The Not So Slim Jim, was a very poor rendition of the Big Boy classic, and was on a huge Ciabatta bun, and the tartar sauce was watery, we couldn’t even finish it (–1 star for quality & taste of food).
If it wasn’t for the service given by Jenny, my rating would be a 1 Star.

Very disappointed. My son brought me a Cobb Salad to go. All iceberg. The feta cheese was powder. The veggies were all cheap. The egg was rubbery. It was not very fresh tasting. The bacon was the worst. I had to pick it all out. We passed it around the table and no one could believe how hard it was. My first bite of it I thought there was a hard piece of plastic in the salad. It was the bacon. None of it could be chewed or even soaked soft. This is my last meal from this business. I use to get this salad all the time a few years ago, but I won’t make this $ 8 mistake again. As always, it took them an hour to get their food as well.

Wow, wish I had read Unilocal reviews before coming here. Sounds like I should have made my 1^st. Trip here at night. Alas no it was lunch. Blt was quite good, beer was cold, prices fair. Lost 4^th star because of our server. Had personality of hmm? No wait had zero personality. Beer glass could be empty for 15 minutes and no offer of another. Was not very busy either. All in all was ok

Ooooh Eastside, how I have forgotten about you. First, there was a $ 4.00 cover-​people still charge covers?! There weren’t enough seats at the bar to seat 8 but the manager went over and above and found us a table by the DJ.
Our mission was to dance and the DJ played all of our requests as well as all 90’s hip hop. You’d think I was a J-​Lo back up dancer the way I was bringing it-​my sweater even came off. Theeenn the band came on :/​Totally ruined the vibe, so for an hour we basically sat there just waiting for the DJ to come back on. The manager sensed our enthusiasm and bought us a round of shots. Can you say awesome?!
Wear your finest animal print, rat your hair real high, slip on those mom jeans, and get yourself a cocktail gurl! 3 hours later, my legs were killing me from the workout but we had such a blast we will definitely be going back again for our next girl’s night out.

My thoughts… Looks can be deceiving, this place has great food. Wings and pizza are great. Fresh ingredients. Drinks are strong and beers are cheap. Good happy hour. The crowd is mixed of different ages. Youll run into a few odd balls but lets not make that a big deal… we are all odd balls when we are trashed. If I had to pick just one thing to negative to say (because no one is perfect) the service is hit or miss. Either very slow service or really good. Cheers

I want to give this place a better rating, and would have if I had only gotten carry out and didn’t pick it up myself. Which happened last week when my fiancé’ brought me home dinner after a business meeting she had here. I liked the food so much we went there later in the week and yuck! The place still smells like smoke from before it was banned in bars. There was ice all over the sidewalk going into the less than desirable entrance. Many of the booths were held together with duct tape. The high tops tables were worn and old as were the chairs. The floor was dirty even in low light. The music was too loud for 5 pm on a Wednesday.
The food I ordered was ok… the French Onion soup was good, but it’s presentation sucked. Their fries are good as well as the Ceasar wrap I ordered. The food gets a 3, but the interior gets a 1, thus a 2 for my final number.

Great food. Fun place to hang out. The wait staff is friendly.

Great food, great entertainment whether it’s the great bands that they attract or their killer DJ. They always have great specials and their food is above par for a sports bar. They have all the normal bar fare, but there are surprising specials that you wouldn’t expect from a sports bar. If you’re going on a weekend, you may want to make reservations or you won’t get a seat.

Stopped by here on our way to Blake’s in Armada for the Zombie Paintball Safari. We thought we would find something «on the way» from home (Redford), and discovered we were quickly running out of road. With the help of Google Maps and Unilocal,we landed at Jamboozies.
Two in our party ordered beers, and the other two had soft drinks. Crushed ice in my Mountain Dew? Yes, please. I know this is an odd thing to get excited about, but I take my kicks where I can get them.
Our server, though I can’t recall her name, was very nice. I asked her to be honest and suggest what she felt were «hits» on the menu, and she steered us in the direction of their wings and pizza, adding that they make their own pizza dough that people are very pleased with. I like that she didn’t give us the standard «everything we have here is great!»
My husband ordered Monterey chicken, and was surprised at how delicious it was. He liked the mushrooms and onions sandwiched between the chicken and the melted cheese. It was served with two sides, he chose French onion soup (massive bowl, great flavor), and French fries (also good).
Our friends shared a BBQ chicken pizza, and liked it. They state on the menu that they use Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce, so they’re not trying to pass that off as their own (honesty is the best policy!). They also had parmesan garlic fries which they enjoyed.
I was not quite hungry enough for dinner, so I ordered the cheese bread from the appetizer menu. The crust was delicious, and the cheese was not too cheesy. Some places go a little overboard.
Overall, our visit was good. The kitchen was a little slow, especially for the volume of patrons at the time. We were the only table not sitting at the bar. Other than that, everything was great!

Let me preface this review by saying sports bars aren’t my bag, but I’m always willing to give a place a try when a.) friends drag me there and b.) I’m told there’s good pizza involved. The pizza is meh, the wings are meh, but the beer selection is pretty decent and the French onion soup is great. Who orders soup at a bar? Me. The cocktail list, however, blarg. I can’t emphasize «blarg» enough. Absolutely nas-​tay — unless you are a 12-​year-​old girl tasting alcohol for the first time. Mmm! This Pucker tastes like a Jolly Rancher!
Now here’s where I start to judge everyone: The crowd is really bizarre here. I’ve been here multiple times, and there’s always, as another reviewer said, cougars and perverts hanging around. (For those of you unfamiliar with the term «cougar», it doesn’t just define a big, beautiful jungle cat. The cougar I’m referring to is an older woman who preys on younger men with zero shame.) Walking into the place, I first thought, «OK, this isn’t as awful as I imagined, and their festive holiday decorations are adorable. But wait, what’s this? Toilet crabs?» On the surface, Jamboozies appears decent, but as the night wears on and new faces emerge inside the bar, things get dirty and sketchy fast.
There’s a really stupid siren that they blare off with flashing lights any time a sports team scores, when it’s somebody’s birthday, when people do shots, and what seems to be anytime anyone farts, coughs, or opens the door to go out for a cigarette. So, conversations are always halted for a bit until this spectacle settles down.
So, yeah, I’m giving this review two stars because it’s not the absolute worst bar I’ve ever been to, but whenever a friend wants to have a night of drinking here, I rattle off a list of 400 other local options where we won’t be subjected to inappropriate touching and hussies mounting each other in the bar’s dentist chair doing shots of filth and fruit flies.

Jamboozies in Sterling Heights, MI had a burger we were dying to try. Since we cannot partake of the same morsels, only I got to taste. Anyone that knows us guys, knows we like hard egg on a burger, that’s exactly what I got in the sunrise burger. Prime ground beef, bacon, over hard egg, ham, and melted pepper jack cheese. This burger is a heart attack on bread, but that’s why we workout! I know it’s good when I hand it to my accomplice for him to try. The other burg was the Ragin Cajun. Same meat seasoned cajun, smothered in jalapenos and sauteed onions, with melted pepper jack. Nothing show stopper said about it. Each burger was $ 7.5 and the 25 oz beers would take you between $ and $ 7 or so.

Jamboozies is a place that reminds me of joint that collects all crowds. Maybe not at the same time though. Think Roadhouse minus the cage, the violence, and the mullets. (at least no mullets last night) There were a lot of TV’s and a huge projection screen playing both hockey and baseball. There is a small dance floor and there was a guy playing live music. He was good, and not obnoxiously loud. The place is huge with one side having the dance floor and tv’s and the other for the billiards. There bar looked fun with the dentist chair incorporated for those needing a shot to fix them. They were however out of PBR… How could that happen! Theresa was always on point with the drink refills and this has never been an issue with us!

One of the best places around to have a great time. The staff is phenomenal, food is amazing and everyone I meet is so friendly. There is live music most nights and every Fri & Sat. Food specials every weekday. Best wings around by far. This has become our only hangout lately as I cannot seem to find anything better around. Its a place where I can take my children during the day and my wife at night and feel like family everytime I’m there. JAMBOOZIES 4 LIFE is correct.

I came here to watch a band. Planet of Fun. They were fantastic! I would come back to watch them. The waitstaff was pushy with wanting to sell us shots. The layout of his place is decent and the prices are reasonable. This place is average.

Ah, the continuing saga of «Dave winds up in a cougar bar, whacky mayhem ensues».
With all due apologies to Julie Andrews. *ahem*
Cougars in crop tops and much cleavage showing
Grabbed by the bathrooms with offers of blowing
Tables of ladies turning ’round wedding rings
These are a few of my favorite things
What’s with old Elvis? And I think that’s a tranny!
Some poor bastard’s trapped in that corner by granny
A couple in the parking lot wearing out the back springs
These are a few of my FAAAAAAAAAAvorite things
Wives and their husbands, not here with each other
I’m think I just heard that dude’s here with his mother
Here comes our waitress, our trays of shots she now brings!
These are a few of my FAAAAAAAAAAAAvorite things!
When my ass is grabbed
When the cougar clings
When I’m horrified
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feeeeeeeeeeeeel sooooooooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I’m a bit puzzled by some of these negative reviews. I’ve been going to Jamboozies for 7+ years and have always had a wonderful experience. The waitstaff is always friendly, they’re generous pours, and they have specials all week. Real specials. $ 1 burgers? Heck yeah. $ 6 for a pizza and a pitcher of beer? I’m in. Oh, and speaking of pizza, Jamboozies actually makes a damn tasty pie. The comment about saving your money and going to Little Caesers? You’re nuts, buddy. Enjoy your cardboard pizza. I’ll stick with Boozies, thank you very much.

This place is the bomb when Planet of fun is there!!!
