  • TJ's Homestyle Restaurant is something unique ... and it shouldn't be unique at all: an actual mom and pop restaurant. In the Valley of the Sun, that's a dying breed, which for the most part has yielded to chain restaurants that have undercut them and suffering in Depression-Era economics, forcing them to stay competitive while their former customers are blowing their brains out or jumping out of windows after having lost their homes (I'm such a cheery person, ain't I?). So given the irresistible double squeeze of cheesy chain restaurants and empty wallets, you shouldn't come in here expecting fine dining or even fine decoration. You come here to eat and if you sometimes have to ignore the basic furnishings and a not-so-spic-n-span room, then that's what you do: after all, is YOUR mom and pop's place sparkling clean all the time?!? Portions here are more than adequate and often too adequate (oink, oink). The food is usually quite good and this applies especially to breakfast food. I like the back room of the restaurant, which is simple, gives you a not-so-great view of Avondale out the window, and can be a tight fit. But it's this very basic atmosphere which lends the place its authentic diner-like charm from an age, not so long ago, when diners weren't an extinct entity going the way of the Brontosaurus (speaking of "brontosaurus", do you REALLY need both bacon AND ham with your THREE egg breakfast?!?). Service, when I've come here, has always been good. I do recommend, that you do NOT look past the double doors into the kitchen, if you're sitting in the back: it might ruin some fantasies you have about some elderly mother cooking your eggs, while pa is out back chopping wood for the stove. Come here to enjoy a very hearty breakfast, good service and attitudes and atmosphere from a bygone age. It beats out IHOP, Waffle House and many other places, that have your breakfast sitting in pots and pans waiting to be reheated like so many assembly-line draftees. This is what America once was ... you either find that charming or backwards. If the latter, go to Denny's or Village Inn and get what you deserve!
