PJs famous wings are a community tradition that has built loyal customers and true fans.

At PJW Restaurant Group, our staff is the foundation of our organization and the building blocks to success. We are always looking for passionate, motivated, inspired individuals to join the team.

Nothing moves forward by standing still, so we will continue growing, continue innovating, and continue raising the bar.
