My wife and I decided to try TJs today after driving past a couple of times and hearing about it a few more times. We got there about 11:30 on a Saturday and had to wait about 10 mins for a table. Not that bad. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich and the hot beef sandwich. The food came and it was open faced on homemade bread smothered in gravy and mashed potatoes. The taters were buttery with the right amount of lumps in it. The meatloaf was definitely homemade, moist, and flavorful. The hot beef was good. I personally thought it could have used a little more seasoning. The bread was soft and airy. We also bought a french silk pie to take home. It weighed like 3 lbs when we picked it up lol.
Now the prices here were actually cheaper than we expected. The place was busy and the staff was busy. The service was friendly and with the amount of running around it is understandable that refills were a little slow and it took a bit longer to get our food than other restaurants.
Paying for the meal was unorthodox. You have to go into the waiting area to pay and they come back through to leave. When we were paying there wasn't anyone waiting but a line formed behind us to pay. The little old lady behind the counter they called Mom. She was nice, but not quick lol. So we had to navigate past the line to make our way to the door when we were finished paying.
We would come back again for this. It really is just a down home place with comfort food. Do not expect to pop in for a quick meal. The waitress did say when the snowbirds come back into town it is not uncommon for a 45 min or longer wait and 45 mins to get food after you do order.
