We have been coming to TJ’s for years! The consistency of great food, portions, and prices is our favorite thing about the restaurant. We always know we are going to get a great meal and above all are always welcomed by the friendly staff! In my opinion they have the best salads in the area. My husband loves their pizza. The menu has something for everyone in our family which makes it an easy choice for our dinner plans!

Two of us went in for pasta at 2:30 today. The tables were dirty. We waited an eternity for two simple pasta dishes. The waitress was very friendly, but also very distracted. We never got any bread. When the meal was finally served, we asked for bread and she said, “sure, I’ll put that right in for you.” We ordered spaghetti and meatballs with sausage. When it finally came out, there were three meatballs and one sausage on top. We immediately discovered a very long, black hair baked right into one of the meatballs. I called the waitress back, and she already knew something was wrong. We pointed to the hair, and she shook her head and took the plate away. She came out literally two minutes later stating that they had re-made the food. This was a lie. They removed the offending meatball, and re-plated the pasta and the other two meatballs and one sausage. In other words, they simply removed the meatball with the hair from the food. When she brought the food back, she didn’t bring a fork and then vanished. I finally had to get up and go get a fork from the hostess station. Then she came out with a basket of bread that literally had two tiny slices of bread and two slivers of pizza. There was more paper in the basket than bread. We were shocked to see the bill arrive with them not taking anything at all off for the hairy meatball. Moreover, no one even apologized for what happened. Overall, a dirty, unpleasant, and inhospitable experience. This place goes on the DNR list (Do Not Return)!Update: We were both sick as dogs all day today. I have no idea what was going on in that kitchen, but there’s obviously problems there…

The atmosphere is calm, the best are the wings without sauce and eating with blue cheese. The people from the moment you enter are attentive and those who served us were very friendly.

When you get home and how you ordered the grinders are not made the way you wanted , no tomatoes wanted and there is , provolone cheese order and there isn't any cheese at all , you do rethink the choice of where to get your dinner from and if the person taking the order is even listening. And making a call to complain is just a waste of time .

In need of a quick sit down meal on a weeknight, I spontaneously popped into TJ's. Their menu online was detailed and confirmed that they had seating in addition to takeout. Perfect! I was seated immediately despite there being quite a crowd. I was impressed by the server's choice to seat me in a booth despite being a solo diner. She brought me my drink and the menu quickly and ran through the specials. My food arrived within minutes much to both my and the server's surprise. The salad was piled high with hot, grilled chicken (see pic) and was absolutely delicious. Despite every table being full, it wasn't all that noisy. And the service was incredible: fast, efficient, and kind. I will definitely be back and am looking forward to trying their pizzas!
