TJ willies has always been a great place to meet and eat. With the menu, you can eat a lot or as little as you. The menu is very variable for whatever you might be hungry for. The service is pleasant. The food is tasty. The surrounding is clean and pleasant food and staff are great. It's a great place to be with a few or a lot of friends. That's why I like to go over there for food service and ambience.Post my reviewThank youMary

My niece and I ordered carry out. We both ordered hamburgers. See attached pictures. My niece ordered her hamburger. Well done. It was black on the outside, raw on the inside. As for my hamburger, it was about the size of a slider (It is tucked in the upper left corner of the food container.) And burnt to a crisp . The thing that bothers me the most, not including the fact that their burgers are very expensive, but had we been eating inside the restaurant that never would have been put in front of us. We took it back and asked for a refund . We were appalled by the whole experience. (In the first box, the little black disc in the upper left corner is the hamburger. The second box is my niece's burger raw.

Absolutely awful food. We had the group room in the back.I had the burger with mushrooms on top. I ordered it medium-rare. It came out extremely well done, and totally charred on the outside. Tasted awful. I had the "seasoned" wedges that lacked seasoning.My wife had the blackened chicken salad. What little chicken that was in it was dry and you could barely tell the difference between the chicken and the crotons. The cheese, instead of being on top or mixed in the salad, was just stuck to the side of the bowl.My father had the "unlimited" ribs that I tried. Overcooked with some burned pieces. He commented about one rack he could clearly tell was old meat. It wasn't good - to the point he refrained from getting any more.My brother said he had the brisket that looked more like bacon than brisket.These were the only family I talked to about the food, but not a single one had anything positive to say. The floor in the room was sticky (it is carpet); several people commented about it.This is one of the worst meals I have had in a long time.

I don't know how long this place can last. No way is it turning a profit. Service is lame at best. They used to hand batter onion rings and mushrooms. They're frozen now. We skipped ordering entrees after being in an empty space getting shitty service. The owners should have bought a dive bar.

Beautiful patio, wonder beer on tap, great food, good prices, excellent service. Stopped here while driving through town.

Best Ribs ever. I love ribs and these are the best that I ever ate. New ownership has made a lot of improvements since they took over. We love this place and my meal was great. I liked the new changes they made to the rest of the menu, esp. the fresh cut fries.

My Mothers Day there was very disappointing. We had a reservation for a party of 7. We all chose the buffet. About $30 a person. The place looked charming. Inside the buffet room looked nice. But, there wasnt much food. The crab legs looked subpar. No mashed potatoes to go with the gravy. They replaced them with chunked potatoes. The prime rib was raw! Our family loves prime rib. We couldn't cut it with a knife because it was so raw and sticky. The food was cold. The salmon was dry and cold. We asked to see the manager. He came out asking. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?? Said he served over 300 people without a complaint. We tried to explain about the issues. He said we was to have the prime rib cook into the au jus. (Which was barely warm) We couldn't explain, he was running off the mouth! Told us if we didn't pay, he would call the cops! Our son didn't want to bother. The bill was over $200. Made me sad, no one ate what was on their plate. I was afraid to eat anything. Beware this place used to be a good place, BUT NO MORE!!

We rsvp for a party of 11 and got there early for brunch/lunch. Checked out the brunch buffet and it was hardly replenished and the left over eggs were dry and not appealing. Waiting until noon so we can order from the lunch menu. Ordered drinks and meals for 11 right at noon. As the restaurant filled and others orders, they all received their meals well before we did. 1pm rolls around and those who ordered before us were leaving while we sat patiently enjoying conversation. We were never checked upon if we wanted more beverages. Finally spoke to the waitress and our food has not yet been prepared and they were scrambling to get it ready. Food was eventually served and it was sub par. Highly doubt the brisket was smoked and was very chewy so mostly likely pan fried. Burger was ok but was masked heavily in bbq sauce. Corn was dry. Best thing on the menu was the fries. We spoke to management and his initial response was “WHATS THE PROBLEM?!”.

Made a reservation bc we had a large party. Our server didn't communicate they might be slower than normal until after we waited an hour for our food. The hostess did not know what gratuity was. We had to ask for water after an hour and a half at the table. Simple communication that would have made the meal bearable, but it seemed to be too much for the staff. They made zero concessions for their short comings. Even my 8 year old nephew knew this was poor service.

Our anniversary meal with my children would have been more enjoyable if we had know that several of the service staff quit the night before our visit. Two hours to get 11 meals was way too long. Some of our food was good others were disappointed.
The food was awful! Truly disappointing. Also ordered a strawberry daiquiri..it was 8.99. Took one sip and tried to send it back because it was not drinkable. I was told they would not comp alcohol! Even though I didn't drink it. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. We left and got food at another place but the bill we paid there was 73.00!! The waitress told us 5 other people had walked out that day! Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else. Disgusting and unacceptable!!. They do not care if you are happy with your meal or not! Food was really GROSS.

I frequent here for lunch and always have a good burger, or sandwich. They have done a good job at keeping the same wait staff and they are always friendly. Atmosphere is friendly and inviting for a quite working lunch. I received three drink refills and was checked on multiple times. I prefer the Potato Wedges, and am partial to the Chicken Tenders for lunch, they are great.

All food was cold and dry with no flavor at all. Frys were soggy and cold. Absolutely disgusting. We refused to eat this stuff, we did order appetizer, fried pickles... those were good... we ended up paying over 18.00 for 3 pops and the pickles.... Never again . Way over priced, if I could it would be negative 5 star

Ever since they changed owners TJ's has been an utter disappointment! They changed their staple twice baked potatoes and now they are full of green onions. I got a steak skewer the other day and it was so charred it was inedible. I wasn't even convinced it was steak, but I could not tell because it was literally like 5 hunks of charcoal on a stick!! Do not get me started on the price hikes. Also, if you get carry out, they automatically attach a 30% gratuity!! On carryout!! That is what I would maybe tip Dine - In and that is if the food and service was absolutely stellar. We will no longer be going there and it is a shame, as it was always a Tiffin go to.

Where to start? No refills on drinks. My husband got lobster which was (not exaggerating) the size of a large crawfish (about the size of my palm. He got 6 small pieces of meat and no butter with it! My daughter got food posioning from the chicken alfredo which came with no bread...my steak was too tough to cut and my asparagus was so overcooked I was able to wrap all 6 pieces around my fork easily. With all the up charges for salad, asparagus, blue cheese dressing, etc. the meal totaled $100. I would have eaten better at McDs.We will never go back. I keep reaching out and leaving messages but thus far no one will speak with me....
