Based in Westmont, New Jersey, PJW Restaurant Group was founded in 1983 by Bob and Donna Platzer.
Although Bob’s first restaurant, Platz’s, eventually became the regionally renowned PJ Whelihan’s, “his original commitment to serving good food with good company is something that has never changed,” according to a historical account in restaurant group website.

“We are inspired and sustained both by the neighborhoods in which we are rooted and by our more than 2,000 employees,” reads PJW’s online description. “Nothing makes us happier than to see a service job passed from brother to brother, or to see a line cook become a manager.
“PJW Restaurant Group creates community destinations. We never stop striving to elevate everything we offer our guests and never settle for less than our best.”
In addition to PJ Whelihan’s, which also has locations in the Lehigh Valley and Berks and Montgomery counties, PJW Restaurant Group operates The ChopHouse, a modern, upscale steakhouse; Treno Pizza Bar, a casual Italian restaurant serving delicious authentic dishes in a relaxed atmosphere; The Pour House, a concept that pays tribute to the popularity of the craft beer movement through countless draft proposals and equally interesting fare; Central Taco and Tequila, a modern Mexican restaurant with traditional flavors and more than 90 varieties of tequila; and ChopHouse Grille, which offers relaxed sophistication with a lively scene and seasonally inspired menu.
