There's something so simple, yet so many mess up a good burger but this place is doing it simply right. Well seasoned burger, extremely flavorful griddled veggies on the homestyle, and super fresh correct choice of fresh veggies for toppings: green leaf lettuce, red onion sliced, tomato. It was missing pickles they were out but that really would have made it perfect. It's a gas station but trust, stop and have one of the best burgers ever.

Coming back from the Frio River over Labor Day weekend, we decided to take a more northern route…read morehome after driving through Uvalde on the way there Friday. We've tried quite a few restaurants in the area over the years, but somehow had never made it to TJ's. My oldest son was in the mood for steak, so this seemed like a good opportunity. We arrived around 5 PM and were seated right away since the restaurant wasn't overly crowded yet. Service throughout the meal was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was well decorated and we found ourselves trying to explain who Elvis was to the kids. My wife was a little disappointed to learn they don't have frozen margaritas, although they do rotate other frozen drinks through their machine. We tried the Key Lime Colada, which was excellent, along with an order of pickle chips while we looked through the menu. I ordered the steak salad, while my wife put together a vegetarian meal from the side dishes. My daughter chose the kids' spaghetti and actually liked it, which is always a win considering how picky she can be. For my boys, we found a pretty good ordering hack. They split the pizza burger that was on special, and we also ordered the steak-bite entrée for them to share. The steak bites were actually less expensive while providing more meat than ordering a regular sirloin, and the steak was excellent. Overall, everyone left happy with both the food and service. The steaks were particularly good, and there were quite a few desserts that looked tempting, but by that point none of us had room left. TJ's turned out to be a great stop on the drive home from the Frio. We'll definitely keep it in mind the next time we're coming through.

Onion ring on top of a bacon BBQ burger. Hit the spot. Guests had the Country Fried Steak and Country Fried Chicken (they LARPED small town Texas on this trip). They enjoyed but didn't say it was amazing. The service and staff was (very) friendly and courteous but... 1) When we go sat, no one gave us cutlery. Even after the appetizers arrived we still hadn't gotten any. It took asking twice. And trust me the gap between sitting, asking 1x and then asking again was about 25 mins. At least. Our actually server recognized this and was apologetic (I think he got triple sat on a Friday night). 2) Our actual entree order was *probably* never put in originally because it took 50 minutes (and people who say after us ate and got dessert in the meantime) and when it came out it was hot. Which means it wasn't sitting around. Again our server recognized this and was very apologetic. Despite that, I'd go again. Vibe was perfect small town Texas and food hit the spot.

I believe it's because they were yellow potatoes which are a little watery and have a little different taste. Hubby had the ribeye and there were no complaints.

The Texas toast was fragrant, and the flavours of the sandwich blended very well together. My cousin got the fried catfish platter, which didn't have much of a flavour, but he said that means it's a river catfish. He is a catfish connoisseur and liked it. The jalapeno hush puppies that came with it were excellent. However, the coleslaw had a very odd flavour, and neither of us liked it. It tasted acrid to me. I didn't really like the fries because of the seasoning, but I still had a few. The server initially gave my cousin water instead of the sweet tea that he ordered. They served us our water and sweet tea in mason jars, which looked very nice, but the water was not pleasing to my taste buds as it tasted like unfiltered tap water.

I had a mushroom swiss burger and onion rings with ranch...so yummy. Cons and the reason for the 3 stars...There weren't any clean tables and the menus were dirty...we saw that there was only one guy seating, getting drinks and serving. I'm guessing he was also the cook, because it took an hour and a half to get our food. Another guy showed up near the end of our meal and was helping take orders. They were obviously short staffed, but I was proud of the guys...they were hustling.

We walk in and there were at least 3 waiters around looking at us confused if we should order at the counter seeing a line there or just seat ourselves. We finally decided to flag a waitress and ask her. As friendly as people are in this town it was not the case at this restaurant. The lady was short with her answers and almost felt like she is mocking our questions. I saw that the must try is the Texas Spud which seems to be a loaded baked potato. In general from what I know baked potatoes might include bacon and my friend doesn't eat bacon. The way she answered about it was such a turn off! We were about to have a full mean ended up opting to just try the Texas Spud and a side of onion rings since she recommended that The onion rings are old and inedible we left them. The Texas Spud when it came to the table I ended up having a full understanding of it by eating it. So basically it is a baked potato with chili on it (no meat) it feels it came from a can and cheese pickled jalapeño and sour cream decorated with tortilla chips around it. It was ok but I could say I have tried it. The restaurant itself is very old. I believe it is the oldest running restaurant in Bandera I got to see The John Wayne Room which is western-themed dining room. Decorated with memorabilia dedicated to "The Duke". Also they have a salad bar that looks like a wagon. Just take a picture of it from far away the veggies and everything in it looks very sad! Will I return to eat there? Definitely not! But I do not regret trying it out
