My review is probably a cross between TJ's and Grubhub. Ordered chicken fried steak sandwich and a kids chicken tenders and a side of mashed potatoes and a side of gravy. Long story short, somehow TJs didn't have chicken fried steak so I got the kids meal, mashed potatoes with a hideous brown gravy and a bowl of country gravy which had been salted within an inch of its life. No call from Grubhub that food wasn't available, they stated that restaurant didn't inform them or call to ask for an alternative choice. I ate one of the chicken tenders dipping it in the cream gravy that was so awful. The brown gravy on the potatoes was leaked all in the bag and was a big mess. Disappointing read more

Think the place your parents or grandparents use to take you too.Diner in the finest tradition. Food was wonderful pricing reasonable, great service Grab everyone you know and head on over. Don't forget to check out the specials and have some pie! read more

This is a good breakfast spot with outstanding service. I always get the massive omelets, you cant beat them. They also have the great biscuits, and the biscuits and gravy are very good.. read more

was going to stop and eat breakfast today but they were closed. No sign at all saying why? anyone know why? we have eaten there for years?!! read more

I ordered a to go order from this restaurant. I arrived 20 min after i ordered and my food was ready however i waited for 15 min for anyone to even greet me or acknowledge me and there were 2 ladies standing at the register ringing 1 person up at a time. They are getting one star because my food was great after i had to reheat it and the other star is for the sweet sweet waitress that finally did acknowledge me was just wonderful. However I wont be returning to the "restraunt" which is sad because i work next door. read more

My husband and I have been going to TJ's for years ever since they were on Main Street in Grandview. We followed them to new location. Food is good goulash, smoke meat, giant tenderloin. Service good. Just like down home restaurant that has country cookin read more

Staff is typically rude in person so today I decided to call in an order Angelina the server that answered the phone was curt, and unprofessional when I attempted to ask simple questions and ended the call without any closing statements or acknowledging the conversation was over. Find some place else to eat basic customer service cannot be that difficult read more

Let me start by saying the food is excellent, and some of the service depending on who you get is good. However I called to order takeout and was put on hold(30+minutes). I then proceeded to drive to the restaurant, by the time I got there it was 1 minute past closing, and I was told that they were closed. I could hear our conversation through my phone which was on speaker, and so could the cashier. The cashier proceeded to inform me that they were having phone problems as she hung the restaurant phone up. I politely left, however, furious inside... This is not a phone issue this is a work issue, a gross lack of customer service issue , a work ethic issue. Wish their service matched their food... And by the way I've seen them do this to another customer, I dismissed it at the time. But now that it's actually happened to me as well I can see that this is not an oops/accidental incident. read more

Reasonable prices and good breakfasts. Friendly efficient service. Local neighborhood kind of place. Moved to new location after the fire so some references on Apple Maps and Facebook may be out of date (now located on Blue Ridge in Grandview). read more

Good food and good service. Will definitely come again when in the area. TJ special is HUGE - hubs could only eat half. A good addition to the Grandview food scene. read more

Definitely a small town breakfast hot spot for all the locals. Stopped in for a quick breakfast and didn't regret it. Huge portions for little money. People: staff was incredibly nice, and everyone seemed to help with refilling drinks, delivering food, etc. Place: kitschy. Think hobby lobby sale. Product: good food, simple as that. The portions were ridiculous, and everything tasted great. It came out in a good amount of time and it was hot. The biscuit was amazing. read more

Really good homestyle cookin!! Been going to TJs most of my life! I was so excited when they relocated after the devastating fire on main. This place is forever one of my favorites! read more

This is my go to spot for a quick, delicious breakfast . They have great specials and the food is great. I usually get the $5.25 which consists of bacon or sausage, hash browns and eggs and toast or biscuit. Everything is fresh and they know their regulars. It's like a family affair lol read more

My boyfriend and I have been here over four times now in the past couples months of first trying it. We used to go to Waffle House religiously until we ate at TJ's Cafe. It is always outstanding breakfast and service. Highly recommend for good affordable food! read more

Omelets are ok if you like folded scrambled eggs. Gravy is excellent. Always busy and chaotic. Enjoy! read more

Just passing through town, and found this place on Yelp, so decided to try out their breakfast. The service was phenomenal. The food was really good (comfort food) and FAST. We were in and out of there in 30 minutes, and this was when they were really busy. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone. read more

Service was great and the food was made perfectly and came out quickly. I'd definitely recommend this place for breakfast.

I found this little gem in Grandview, when I was both living and working out that way. It's become a favorite of mine when I'm craving a greasy omelette with some hash browns. Tj's is a little hole in the wall diner, and when I say little, I mean LITTLE. It gets packed on Saturday mornings, and the parking situation there isn't the best. I usually end up parking across the street and walking over. The food is decent, but the best part about it is the fact that it's CHEAP, I think the last time hubby and I ate there we spent like 15 bucks for the both of our meals and were stuffed! They have decent coffee too. Wait staff can be good or bad depending upon who you get. Some of the ladies working there have been there for years and years, and know every customer by name almost, and make sure they are taken care of. They aren't the friendliest people I've ever met, but they keep my coffee mug full and get my food out fast. That's all I need, really. This is my go to place for breakfast after a long night of drinking. It really settles the stomach. Hahha. read more

Driving by, you would never think anything of TJ's as it is a tiny little diner along Main Street in Grandview. But TJ's is one of those hidden gems in Kansas City. I've been coming here since I could walk and always have a great meal. Breakfast is TJ's is classic diner fare at an afforable price. Extremely large portions of biscuits and gravy, eggs, delicious bacon and everything else. Lunch and dinner are also strong points at TJ's. The daily specials are typically large portions at a very low price ($8 average). I usually go on tenderloin night and struggle to finish. TJ's one downside is their salads and their size. The salads are just from a bag. As for size, there are about 15 tables and a bar area, but with the popularity of this place it gets full quick. I usually try and go at off-times (11 for breakfast, 6:30-7 for dinner) after the older crowd has left. It is especially more enjoyable since smoking is no longer allowed inside (there used to be cloud's constantly). Next time you're in Grandview and want classic diner fare, head to TJ's! read more

TJs is a tiny little diner in Grandview. The food is home cooking-styled like typical diners and they serve breakfast all day. I got the omelette. It was ok, the prices are reasonable but a dollar less might be more up their alley. A little pricey for the grimy diner you eat in. Booths are small, atmosphere is semi-friendly. It's just an alright breakfast joint if you're looking for something kind of divey with decent food. read more

I've been going to TJs Cafe for 7+ years now, frequently bringing others with me. I went because of the quality of food products used, the amount they gave you and the service. The last two times I went I was very disappointed. A week ago, I had a late lunch (about 2 p.m.) by myself, wasn't very busy at all. It took asking for my drink 3 times before getting it, letting her tend her other 2 tables of 2 patrons each, stand and visit in the service area, finally asked again after she brought my food and she went to get it. Came back for breakfast with a relative that had also come to like the cafe, but both were really disappointed. I realize that most places have had to raise prices because of the increases they are experiencing with our recent economy, but most have kept the same product/quality/amount of product provided. TJs is using a bacon much like the cheapest (maybe Always Save-type brand) rather than the thick farm-fresh type they use to serve and also gave at least probably a third less of sides like potatoes. With both scenerios considered, we both decided not to return. I had talked with another family member that has been going for many more years than me, she said she and 2 others had made that same decision for the same reasons almost a month ago. What a shame. Word of mouth is the best advertisement... read more

TJ's is back open after the fire in a new location! Same great food and friendly service. Beautiful interior as well. I tried a new breakfast skillet and it was very good with fresh peppers and onions and potatoes! Yum! read more

TJ's Cafe - Veggie breakfast skillet! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grandview, Missouri

Food here is typical greasy spoon with lots of fake butter sauce used in the hashbrowns and on the toast. I personally thought it was OK, but it is what it is. Cheap hangover type food with good service. I hear the BBQ in the afternoon is very good, but I never have made it there other than for breakfast. Best part of the restaurant now: It's non smoking. read more

I grew up in G-Town, this was the best restaurant in my hometown hand down. I remember going here with my friends, mom and grandparents growing up in Grandview. I wish I could find a greasy spoon like this I'm California. read more

The place is a little run down, and quality of food is average. The price is lower end, so I'm sure people are happy with that. The staff are semi- professional, they seem like someone you would find at you local bar. Feel free to wear anything you want there. I'm sure that includes, shoes or no shoes. This is a restaurant, more for locals. read more

I've been coming to TJs since I was a kid. Grandview wouldn't be the same without TJs Cafe. The breakfast is always good and the BBQ here is amazing. Smoked meatloaf and pork chops! Amazing! read more

TJs Café in open is new location in Grandview. Food and staff are still wonderful. So happy to have them back open! read more

Cheeseburgers and omelettes here are very good. My husband and myself enjoy TJ's very much. Yummy deserts as well!

Tried the new TJ's today and was impressed. The new digs are really nice with way more room than the old diner on Main Street. The Food was really good and so was the service. There is a beautiful new pie case in the front with a nice variety of pies for sale. Looks like they are doing well judging by the size of the breakfast crowd. It's really good to see a local business make a comeback after a devastating fire nearly a year ago. Hang in there TJ'! read more

They have the best club sandwich!! Delicious fries and great service! For sure check this place out!

Great little spot that we happen to find by accident. Friendly and fast service and great food. A hidden gem and you wont be disappointed.

This place used to be my regular Sunday morning place, but with the world turned upside down, wasn't sure if that would still be the case. Turns out they do carryout, so I was able to go get some good diner chow this weekend after all. Suggest you call ahead as it speeds things up a bit. read more

Well my family decided to see what the traffic is on the weekends in the morning....not impressed...food was not great at all....eggs scrambled and fried was warm not hot...no seasoning...very bland...sausage patties was small could've gave 2 on the combo. French toast was nothing to write home about. Waffles horrible they was so so hard no taste...service was great but food was horrible....won't be back read more

Traveling from Virginia and saw the good reviews. Not only did this place live up to all the great reviews, this place was the utmost friendly in service, food was great and the place made you feel welcomed. Definitely recommend if your in town and want a good breakfast read more

I wanted to give more stars, but one employee caused the reduction. I like the food. Just your usual hometown café. Now, the problem. We have had one certain waitress three times now. Every time, she lays the ticket down and never comes back. The last time we asked for another coke when she brought the food. 10 minutes later the other waitress came and helped us out. That is twice another waitress has waited our table for her. I just don't get it. The other waitresses we have had do an excellent job. I do not tip for this reason. Next time, I will figure out her section or just flat-out move if she comes to wait on us. Again, I wanted to give 5 stars but that one bad apple hurt the average. read more

Stopped into TJs on a whim. Found it to be a pleasant surprise. Courteous service, reasonable prices, good food and large proportions. Too bad they are only open for breakfast and lunch. The breakfasts are wonderful. Fresh homemade biscuits and pancakes as big as the plate. Delicious burgers. They even have liver and onions. A great place to get a down home breakfast or a massive burger and fries. They are a welcome addition to this restaurant desert. read more

Typical small town diner but the staff and food make this place great. Really good biscuits with sausage.

i have been disappointed with the change in the chicken fried steak the last two times i have had breakfast from there since the reopening of the covid 19 event. once they opened again, i got a to go chicken fried steak breakfast and was shocked that it was no longer the home made nice and big piece of chicken fried steak they were known for. it was a small frozen patty. i went into the restaurant this time today. i told the waitress about what i experienced. her response was she was not aware of a change to it. so i told her i would try it once more. when the meal arrived it was the same small frozen patty i got in the to go order a few weeks back. i had her take it back and replaced it with bacon. so for those of us that would go there for the famous large home made chicken fried steak..... sorry guys..... it has been replaced with an frozen small patty. : ( read more

Went for lunch on Monday with some coworkers. Two of us had the meatloaf special. Generous portion of meatloaf, roll, mashed potatoes and choice of a side (I selected the mac and cheese) and soup or salad. With drink the bill was a little over $8. The food was good for a small town diner. I would absolutely go back again. read more

This place is simply amazing! Great service, great price, great food and they give you hand sanitizer at your table which I always love. They smoke their own brisket that they use in their bbq brisket sandwich. Their brisket is better than most BBQ restaurants that I tried and I have tried most of the places in town. Its smokey and delicious. Their patty melt is also one of the best I have had. Great curly fries and onion rings. I can't really say anything bad about this place other than its a dive. I totally recommend this place if your looking for a great greasy spoon type restaurant or a great smoked brisket sandwich. read more
