Delicious food in generous amounts. Quick and pleasant service. Intend to visit more often!
We sat at the old fashioned counter. EVERYTHING that came out the window looked amazing! I highly recommend the green chili omelette!!
It was an excellent experience. For good homestyle cooking and friendly service, this is the place to go.
TJ's was busy but the wait was not very long and we got our food quickly. The setting was cute and comforting as well.
TJ's has been in Business for years and is a good choice for Breakfast or Lunch. A friendly Homestyle Restaurant.
The young lady waitress was very polite. I actually fit at the breakfast bar, I’m a big dude.
I had two gift cards and we wanted to use them both, our meal was about $45 and we were not allowed to. The lady at register said we had to spend $50 in order for us to be able to use a $25 giftcard. So she made us have to buy something from their bakery in order for us to be able to use the card. It was not that great of service and food to be able to want to go back again especially after that.

First time dinner at TJ's but will go back when we come back to Phoenix. Great portions for the price.

Our server was very punctual and had a welcoming smile. She took our order and delivered it right away,
The waitress was great! She attended to all our needs. Food was great as always! Will be returning soon! ??????
always great service and atmosphere always can count on really tasty food
Food was good service was poor. Server seemed new and didn’t really listen to my order. I order dry toast and it came buttered. I ordered fruit instead of hash browns and it came with hash brown. I ordered salsa instead of the sour cream that came with the omelet. All of those things were corrected. She just needs to listen to her customers.
Great service! The food was awesome and cooked to perfection!
They have a great selection of food. I had liver & onions. You can hardly find it anywhere. TJ's is excellent! You have to try their cinnamon rolls. They can't be beat.

Always good service. Love the homemade food especially the salsa!
Love what they did to the place. Upgraded everything including staff.
The food was very tasty and plentiful. The wait staff was attentive. The gentleman at the entrance was friendly and welcoming.
Everyone super nice. Mom behind cash machine very sweet. Me er have a bad experience. Food worth the money and time going
The sausage was overcooked other than that, the food was good and service was too.
The floors were not clean, the S&P shakers were greasy, the salad oil container was all greasy on the outside and the oil tasted bad. There were no hand towels in the men's washroom.
Nikki, our server was very pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient!! : )
Unique dining experience and story behind this restaurant!!
Food was great an the a lot of it. We even bought a couple of pies at half price.

Down home atmosphere and the staff is entertaining.
Too noisy in both seating section. Sound absorption needs applied to walls & ceiling.
Brought home a really nice looking homemade pie for later
Great breakfast with friendly service. Do yourself a favor and have the pancakes
Sunday morning rush, didn’t wait too long to sit or out food.
It took an hour to be seated and for part of our order to reach the table, some of the slowest service possible. It took another 10 minutes for our pancakes and toast to arrive. People who had come in after us were served at least ten minutes before us. The place was uncomfortably hot.

Cute place with above average waitress. Very friendly and helpful
The a/c was out but we were seated anyway and the waitress was clearly upset about the situation. The food was good but not hot when it came to the table. When it came time for a refill of coffee, we had to wave down the waitress. She apologized for the situation but apparently it was just not a good morning to be there. All of the staff we encountered were a bit upset with the situation and passed it along with their actions (Some people even complained about our waitress out loud where customers could hear them!)
It was really hot, A/C didn't work as good as it should have for the amount of people there. Food was GREAT!
The waiters were most accommodating and the checkout lady was very friendly.
The waitress took really long just for creamer for our coffee. We had to ask her three times for creamer. We also had to ask for silverware as we were not given none.
Great family environment, pleasant hard working staff, food came out fresh and quickly.
Excellent food, huge serving, and reasonable prices.
Our waitress, Kerrie, made our dining experience very pleasant. Her service was excellent and the food was very timely. She seemed to be friendly to all of her customers and knew them by name.
The food is always delish along with excellent customer service with a smile! I love this place!
Good mom & pop diner. Plenty on the plate for a deal. Pies are tasty and they have a wide variety. This place is just right.
Staff excellent. Portions large. Seasoning "different" than expected. Tartar sauce very tasty. Pie superb.
There were tons of people waiting or a table but it moves quickly. The food is really good, home-style cooking. The fact that you ALWAYS have to wait for a table speaks for itself.
Good, fresh food, large servings, pleasant wait staff and a great "Mom" at checkout!
Came close to closing and did not get a warm reception!
Country Fried Steak!! Never Frozen, hand breaded with amazing country sausage gravy. Homestyle/Countrystyle Cooking at it's BEST!!
Soda was watered down. Tea's were nasty. They forgot onions on my burger. The waitress said the cooks had been messing up all day
Fast, friendly service. We never have to wait for drink refills, and
My hash browns were literally burnt So much that I couldn't eat them
great home cooking
The only complaint is unruly children!!
We have eaten at TJ's once a week for the past 10 years. The staff is friendly, the service is excellent and the food is outstanding. We believe in supporting our local businesses.
Waitress was very patient and courteous. Food excellent as usual.
The service and food were excellent as usual! I always have a great experience at TJ’s.
excellent service also excellent dining experience food is always delishes
Didn't have to wait long for a table. Like seating by the window.
Food didn't really have much flavor. The "grits" weren't edible they were far too soupy.
Pleasant and quite place to eat.
Number 12 omelet meal will leave you hungry, small omelet for the price, go to peoria cafe for the garbage omelet, only a buck more and 3 times the amount of food, won't leave hungry. They need to step it up at TJ's if they are gonna make it. The waitress "we had her before", is forgetful and slow and doesn't address what needs to be done, she once forgot to put in our order for 45 minutes! Golden corral or other places are much better with everything. Sorry, but we won't be back now that our restaurant.com coupons are gone. We even told the lady "mama" who rang us out about the portions and she had nothing to say, she just kinda shrugged. Oh Well, good luck to them!
Service was excellent, the food was very good, and the prices are reasonable. We got there at the perfect time today, we got a table right away, and five minutes later there was a line. Great day, great breakfast.
The waiters and waitresses are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is homely and you feel like you're eating with a large group of family.
Food and atmosphere are both great!
very slow service but it was sat AM, busy time. Took forever to get drink refills. I didnt like the upcharged for every little item u wanted. My bill was an extra $4 wheras any other restautrant would gladly accomdate little extras.
Husband ordered all you can eat fish. First batch come out burnt and didn't receive hush puppies. My son and I had biscuits and gravy. The gravy was too thick and biscuits were dry.
Pretty good food and service. Over 5 dollars for 4 eggs is a bit much. 1.99 for hashbrowns are too much also. And over 5 dollars for pancakes is a bit pricey. We would not come here without the 1/2 off coupon. Must say they have the best coffee around! Yum!
Server was very friendly and efficient. Food came out quickly and was very good. Large portions, great prices. The freshly baked pies looked amazing!
Going to TJ/s is like going home to eat. The people are friendly and treat you like family.
they're very busy so it's understandable..
Food and service was excellent. Loved the atmosphere
Great customer service and delicious food. A little long for waiting but food and hospitality worth it.
Food was very good and so was the service
Staff and owners are always friendly
Food was good. But when we got some take out, they put hot hashbrowns in styrofoam containers and that is gross, it's melts to the food. We had them remake them and put some foil down first.
Great old fashioned home style diner
Even though it was busy, we got in pretty quick. There was plenty of space outside for the kids to play while waiting without disturbing anyone.
The waitress was nice but she had her favorites. Meaning she did not treat all customers the same. We waited longer the man usual. She didn't joke with us. The good was burnt a little. Thirds are are facts I'm just saying.
Waitress didn't know what came with the meal I ordered. I had to ask for 2 items. She was nice tho. Wife didn't love the chicken fried steak. It was ok she said. Everything else was great.
Great service, minimal wait
Our server dawna was amazing
Food is always fantastic. Today service was slower than normal... tough to get a beverage refill. Server must have been working both rooms.
Friendly, enjoyable atmosphere
We are never disappointed with food choice. Everything tastes like home cooking like grandma used to do, so we have a hard time deciding what to order. Tonight I had liver/onions and hubby had chicken fried steak and a lemon meringue pie brought home for Easter Sunday.
Waitress was very nice and accommodating. Food was delicious.

Waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Special order was made perfectly, food is fresh, cashier was helpful along with the guy stocking the pie counter.
The busier they get, the worse the service is. Biscuits and gravy came out 15 minutes before the rest of the order... For the almost 10 bucks for a small omelet, you can get all u can eat at golden corral, or good tasting food at Genie G's. I have tried and tried and tried to give them a shot over n over, it's just not consistent. The gravy is bland and chunky, "not in a good way either". The pies are good, and the only thing that always is. The owner smelled really bad of cigarettes also. Sorry TJ's, we are done with you!
We eat here about 2-3 times per month...once with a Restaurant.com coupon and 1-2 times without. Our waitress is like a friend to us now....LOL...she probably doesn't know that.
Tasty excellent food, unusual cute Decour, kind attentive waitresses

great home cooked meals
It was a nice family diner. It is in the heart of Avondale and filled with locals. This would be a good place for Drivers, Diners, and Dives. The biscuits were nice and fresh and the place is always packed!
the food was excellent , and there was a lot of food for what you got. very nice portions .
Love the homemade food. Love the homemade pie. Needs faster service.
The gentleman taking our name to be seated was rude, and the lady cashier was extremely rude. The waitress was wonderful and very nice, and the food was good.
Great food and lots of food for the price.
Server was very pleasant and yet professional
Poor service
Excellent Food. The Fish Fry Friday is amazing.
Friendly service. Very busy but prompt. Food was very awesome.

Chicken Fried Steak!! Hand made daily, never frozen. Crazy Amazing. Had it twice, just to make sure it wasn't a Fluke. Best Ever!! Will have it again next week.
Breakfast was great! Wonderful breads!
Amazing!! All you can eat fish. Perfect Pancakes. Can't wait to go back.
home cooked meals
Good food. Good service. Great cinnamon bun.
Love the "home cooked " food
Our waitress apologized for being slow, as she said she was exhausted. Food was generous serving, but only average in quality.
Very busy...lacking sufficient parking.Food came to the table just warm. My breakfast steak was a bit grizzly.
Rude waitress not a friendly place. Seems to have even less than a truck stop atmosphere
This was our first time to TJ's. Quite a long wait to get a table, but we were OK with that. To us, that means it must be a good place to eat! Staff was very friendly. Our server did well for our family of 8. Huge portions and good food. We will be back!
TJs has great "just like gramma used to make" food and the friendliest staff. This made it a great overall dining experience!
Large portions that taste like home cooking. All their pies are made with fresh fruit with light flaky crust. You just can't find that anywhere else anymore. The cream pies are made with real cream and not that awful artificial pudding. And to top it off the staff is very, very friendly....we felt like we were with family.
Food was good except for the bread on my wife's sandwich was burnt and should have been re-toasted before serving it. This makes the difference between a fair cook and a great cook. I will try again and hopefully nothing will be served burnt the next time because I would like to go back many times.
great food, great service, and prices are SO reasonable....thank you for a great experience! Haven't been here in awhile, mostly due to late night schedules, but food and service were awesome!
Very family friendly for my three children.
We went at 11am on a Friday, the day before a holiday, and it was crowded. We were told there was a 15 minute wait for a table but we choose to sit at the bar for immediate seating. The food took 50 minutes to arrive and only received one drink refill. Glass sat empty and cashier brought check and stopped serving us halfway through finishing our food.
Best breakfast ever. Make sure you are hungry the portions are huge. You can get freshly baked whole pies to go to get to the minimum charge and they are outstanding. TJ tells me that cakes and pies are made from scratch
Awesome food. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The wait could be a bit long.
food and servic were excellent
Timely seating,Friendly, courteous waitress.Good value for $$
I took my daughter for her birthday since we no longer live in Avondale we made a special trip. We would frequent Tj's when we lived in Avondale 2 years ago. It was nice breakfast.
Very friendly staff, large portions of food
Wonderful food, great service
the food was excellent and the service was upbeat and always aware of our needs.
Kind, fast service and wonderful food.
Very busy on the am of 1/31 so service and food delivery time was a little slow
Sherrie & McKenna took very good care of us. I like the team concept of service!!
Great Menu! Down Home Atmosphere. One of my favorite places when we are visiting Goodyear.
People have been telling us for years to try breakfast & finally did it. Yummy good
Restaurant was busy and we had to wait awhile before being served but once order was taken, food came out in a timely manner and our breakfast was very good.
Slow service. not all dishes were served at same time or even close.
