Let me say, Best meal I've had in maybe, ever. The service was Fast & Friendly. Everyone was polite and pleasant. They were near full but we were sat right away. Almost immediately we had a basket of the garlic rolls (Tremendous) and our waitress took our drink orders. Boom, they were there. My wife had the Chicken Marsala with broccoli and she couldn't stop raving about it. I had the Chicken Madison (their creation I believe) with a side of spaghetti. The Marinara on the spaghetti was fantastic, I loved it. The Chicken Madison was flavorful and fantastic. The dining room felt like we were in an authentic Italian restaurant. Probably because we were. We skipped desert because we were so satisfied with our meal. And the price was very affordable. Put this on your list to try!

i ordered via Uber eats.I got the chicken and mushroom fettuccine. It also came with a side salad or soup. I picked the salad and it came with three garlic bread rolls..I also got a slice of the tiramisu.The side salad was nice, they have my favorite style of ranch dressing, which was appreciated.Pasta and the chicken was cooked well but in my opinion, it was lacking Salt.Size was great. I'll definitely get a couple meals out of it. I will update my review when I taste my tiramisu but overall, I will definitely try this place again .

Always a favorite and has been for years. We don't come here often, but when we do the food is of amazing quality and the service is great. This last time we ordered the chicken piccata and chicken fettuccini Alfredo. Both dishes were delicious (and I am a huge fan of their house salad/dressing w crumbled blue cheese). Admittingly neither of us was a fan of the marinara sauce (and it was a bit heavy on the side of pasta), but personal taste, I'm sure. Our waitress (Nicole) was very friendly and attentive! Highly recommend for constistant and delicious Italian food.

Went here for my twin son's 15th birthday, and the food was amazing. We had a party of six and they started off with a basket of garlic bread rolls, which were a bit average in my opinion, but from there everything was dialed up to awesomeness. Our server, Nicole, was excellent and brought our drinks and salad promptly. The salads were delicious, especially with the shredded mozzarella on top however, the only dressing that appeared to be fresh was the house Italian. All the other flavors were served in shelf stable large foil packets. Next came the main courses all which were excellent, including pizza with pepperoni and Italian sausage, cheese ravioli, chicken, marsala, eggplant Parmesan and chicken Madison. The chicken dishes all came with a side of pasta, or you can choose broccoli as a vegetable. we had a mix of both, and the broccoli was done perfectly and the portions were large. Be advised if you're going to have the pasta on the side the automatic default is to have your pasta with red sauce, so if you want something different, you have to ask for it ahead of time and I think you could get it with garlic butter or Alfredo sauce instead Portions were large, and we all ended up taking small boxes home with leftovers I like this place a lot and will be back.They have a full bar and here is one other tip. We made a reservation via phone around lunchtime for 5:30 PM and when we got there at 5:20 they did not have our reservation on the list, however, they juggled a few things and still got us to our table within 20 minutesLastly, they do a very large takeout business as we saw many pizzas and meals, heading out the front door while we were waiting for our table so take out is a great option from here

Stopped for lunch. Heard good things about from a local. I had a cup of Italian wedding soup and the chicken cacciatore. It was very good. The service was good and the kitchen was very fast that day. Seems to be a popular place that has been around for a while. Will go back for sure .

I took my daughter to TJ's last night. I used to go there as a teenager (I'm 51 now) so I went for nostalgia more than anything else. The food was basic, which is what I remember, and the prices were reasonable. The staff were friendly enough, no complaints there.But... the restaurant itself was incredibly dirty. There was trash piled up under every single table. Dirty napkins, broken crayons, food scraps. It really grossed me out. It was so bad that I wanted to take pictures with my phone but I didn't want to be rude. The menus were sticky and felt as if they hadn't been wiped down in weeks. I don't know who is responsible for cleaning throughout the shift, I would assume bussing staff, but whoever it was obviously did NOT take pride in his/her work. I'm posting this review as a courtesy to whoever owns the restaurant. You really need to have a talk with your staff about keeping the restaurant cleaner!

Well another excellent meal in the books at TJ's. My wife ordered the lasagna with a cup of their wedding soup. I had the zucchini sticks appetizer for my dinner. Let me just say that our waitress Gracie J was exceptional. She showed up right away to take our drink orders, and then asked if we were ready to order, which we were. She was very friendly and accommodating. Kudos to Gracie.The wedding soup was very good, loaded with meatballs, vegetables and Pastina. The Lasagna was excellent. A huge portion that will be enough for probably two more meals.My Zucchini sticks were excellent. It came with a cup of tomato sauce and a cup of ranch dressing which was very tasty. We both took home better than half of our meals.One thing is for sure, you will never leave hungry and not satisfied. Excellent value.

This neighborhood landmark may not stand out much from the street, but there is more than meets the eye! TJ's is a family owned establishment that serves sizable portions of excellent Italian food in a warm, spacious setting. As you walk in you are greeted by an attentive hostess who promptly seats you at either a booth or a table. Upon being seated I was handed a menu, which listed an assortment of soups, salads, pizza, calzones, pasta, chicken, steak, and seafood! There are a plethora of reasonably priced, delectable options that are suitable for every taste. Since it was my first escapade I elected to get the Seafood Capellini Supreme, a delectable blend of scallops, shrimp, and blue mussels sauteed in an herb white wine sauce over angel hair! Even better, all entrees come with a side salad.The salad was a nice mix of romaine, onions, shredded provolone, cucumbers, and olives and paired well with the complementary garlic bread that was brought out. The seafood capellini was delicious and served in a generous portion. I would definitely get it again but will try a different dish next time since there are so many from which to choose.

Everything! Rude, ignorant staff who can prove you called but didn't write down your reservation! Absolutely the worst customer service ever!!! The kitchen is open to all the elements of the open air, so those with autoimmune beware! Will never go to this place again!!

Family atmosphere. Didn't enjoy hearing employees talking personal details. Seated right away by friendly hostess, waitress appeared quickly. Food delivered in reasonable time. Tomato sauce to me was too strong tasting, prefer milder taste. Prices reasonable. We may visit again
