PJW Restaurant Group has been successful for more than three decades by striving for more. Our energy manifests itself in every concept we create, dish we develop, and drink we serve. We are dedicated to providing experiences that our guests look forward to.
We draw inspiration - and sustenance - from both the neighborhoods we are rooted in and our more than 2,000 employees. Nothing makes us happier than seeing a serving job get passed down from sibling to sibling, or watching a line cook grow into a manager.
PJW Restaurant Group creates community destinations. We never stop pushing ourselves to elevate all we offer our guests, and we never settle for less than our best.
Nothing moves forward by standing still, so we will continue growing, continue innovating, and continue raising the bar.
Founded in 1983 by Bob Platzer, with the help and support of his wife Donna, PJW Restaurant Group has grown from one restaurant to 28 with six different dining concepts throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Though Bob’s first restaurant, Platz’s, eventually became the regionally renowned P.J. Whelihan’s, his original commitment to serving great food with good company is something that has never changed.
