AJ's Voted Best Burgers, Best Wings, Best Late Night Restaurant on Campus! Boiler Up!
(386)

As two 21 year olds from Chicago attending Purdue University, we decided to open a restaurant that filled the glaring need for that unique Chicago cuisine. We set out to serve and deliver the basic Chicago favorites; Chicago style hot dogs, gyros, and Italian beef. Along the way we realized that it would be a shame not to have unique burgers and chicken sandwiches to add our own twist to Chicago style food. Since 2008 we have been perfecting our menu to help meet the needs of our customers. As always, one of the best things about AJ’s is our food will be delivered to you, no matter where you are, at almost any hour. Inside our restaurant, customers notice our casual dining area that gives the customer a laid-back Chicago feel which is great for the families and the students. Since our 2008 opening, we have quickly climbed the charts as one of Greater Lafayette’s best eateries, being nominated in the Purdue Exponent and Lafayette Journal and Courier for “Best Late Night”, “Best Delivery”, and “Best Burger Restaurant”. In 2015, we finally reached the top, as we were voted Best Burger by the Purdue Exponent. Since day one, we have maintained a close relationship with the community and the customers and always give back to various local organizations through team sponsorships and skip-a-meals. Come check us out at 134 West State Street, Suite D on Chauncey Hill Next to Jimmy Johns, where we are bringing big Chicago taste into a little college town.

Happy First Day Of Fall! We’ve got all our seasonal b**rs tapped right now, so which one are you going with?

3 Floyds Brewing Musterfest is a Märzen-style Fest Bier brewed with the finest German malted barley, aromatic Bavarian noble hops and traditional l***r yeast. This rich malty l***r is one of the few that remain true to the tradition of fest b**rs originally brewed to honor the marriage of Prince Ludwig in 1810.

Quaff ON! Brewing Company Classic Busted Knuckle with a peanut butter twist.

Ash & Elm C***r Co. Made with real pumpkin and baking spices, Autumntide is the perfect c***r for when the days get shorter and the weather turns brisk. It’s subtly sweet, with flavors of apples and pumpkin pie.

Schlafly B**r Pumpkin Ale has a bold, big pumpkin taste, flavored with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. With little bitterness and a malty backbone, the flavors of the pumpkin and spices take the lead.

In 1810, the Oktoberfest tradition was born when Munich celebrated the Crown Prince’s wedding with a special b**r and 16 day party. Our version of this classic style blends rich malts for a hearty, smooth flavor with notes of caramel creating a brew that’s perfect for the season, or whatever you’re celebrating.
