“Chef Ray puts out an incredible menu every Sunday. The food is amazing! My favorites are the Cowboy Mac and the cabbage side. But anything you order will be delicious. Chef Ray goes to great lengths to source quality ingredients. It is a pleasure to speak with him and whoever is helping him run the booth every Sunday. This is a don't miss spot if you want some REAL food! Updated from previous review on 2024-06-30“

“This gem in the beautiful Fruitland Heights neighborhood has been a mainstay of the community for decades. We're new to the neighborhood so we finally decided to stop in today for supper? (Really it was a super late lunch) around 4pm. Like other reviews said, it is a Very Friendly place, and James behind the counter made us feel like we were old friends.The ribs, smoked right there on site, were falling off the bone and so delicious! I especially loved the collard greens and black eyed peas. I ordered the oxtail stew, like it was something I get every day, but in fact I thought it over and it was my first time eating that. The stew just looked so good in the case I couldn't resist, and I like trying new things. It was meaty and savory.Total bill including two drinks $40. We definitely have leftovers for a whole nother meal tomorrow. You can order smaller portions, but we wanted to try all the sides so we got the large one.The hang on the porch was a step back in time with all the neighborhood old timers chit chatting.“

The food is fresh and flavorful, with generous portions that don’t break the bank. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It’s clear they care about the community and their customers. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxing meal, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“The food was delicious. The price was reasonable. The food was plentiful. I don't eat everyone barbecue; however this was great.“

“In town on vacation and was looking for a soul food restaurant. We found TJ's and they didn't disappoint. We had oxtails that were fall off the bone good and tasty. The sides of collards, black eyes peas and yellow rice were all good and seasoned. Looking for some comfort food....give TJ's a try. We will definitely visit again.“
