Food was ok, nothing outstanding. Service was good. My issue was the flies. They were absolutely everywhere! I know it's summer and I know I can expect to see a fly or two, but there were probably at least a dozen by us. One was even smashed on the booth window above my friend's head. We both had to have our hands CONSTANTLY sweeping the air and they still found time to land on things. I talked to the host/manager and I said they were awful. She laughed and had a tone like we were gossiping, "I know! They're just terrible, aren't they?!" I told her it wasn't funny and it was truly disgusting (I can only imagine how bad the kitchen must be!). She said there wasn't anything they could do about it and the Health Department wouldn't allow a fly swatter. I have never been in a restaurant with THIS much of a fly problem and I will NEVER go back due to management's attitude about it. read more

The food was Meh. I went with a party of 6 for a business lunch and no one really raved about their food, everyone thought it was ok or lacking. The service, on the other hand, was bad. Just bad. I have a food allergy (dairy) and it can make it hard to eat out sometimes. I picked what I thought was the best choice, and told the waitress about my allergy, asking lots of annoying questions. Sure enough when it was brought out I could tell the sandwich was grilled in butter (something I specifically asked about) and when I asked her about it again (after I'd taken a bite) she said "no, it wasn't cooked in butter". She came back another bite later and told me that yes, in fact it was grilled in butter and so was the fish (on the sandwich). She told me she could make me another. She brought out the other 30 MINUTES later, after the rest of the party had finished their lunch. I am pretty sure the second was also grilled with butter. I ate half of it, and left hungry (and had stomach issues all night). I have been to other places that have made mistakes. However, when the manager came over to ask how things were, I told her what had happened. She just said, oh. ok and walked away. Then later when I got the bill, i was very surprised they hadn't offered to comp the sandwich, so I went over to ask about it. She did comp it, reluctantly, However, in both of these interactions the manager NEVER apologized. NEVER. Luckily my allergy is less severe. Food allergies are very serious and a mistake can put people in the hospital. I cannot believe the nonchalance with which they handled everything. I am sure I will not be going back here, especially not for lunch. All in all lunch took over an hour and a half. That is just silly for 5 sandwiches. read more

ate there last night for the first time and loved it! I had the crabcakes and they were very good. My husband had the strip steak and it was also very good. Everything was hot and we loved the atmosphere! Our server was great and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely go back! read more

TJ's Restaurant catered our daughter and Son-n-law's wedding Sept. 3, 2016 at Quailcrest Farm in Wooster. We worked with Greg, the owner, and his assistant, Angie, starting in February. The entire process was so enjoyable and stress-free. We had two different tastings and we were so impressed with the quality of food and presentation. The day of the wedding their staff set up the tables for us exactly how we wanted them with everything looking gorgeous. We were absolutely thrilled with the menu. Everything was so delicious, and the presentation was 5 star with both the appetizers and the entrees. Our guests couldn't have been happier.. We thank the staff for being so helpful, courteous, and fun. They left the barn spotless. Thank you Greg and staff for a perfectly delightful and scrumptious evening, one that we will always cherish.

i found TJ's forgettable, but maybe people who love steak, bland american cuisine, cold ambiance, and average service feel otherwise. i'd advise everyone to go downstairs to CW Burgerstein instead. read more

Fresh things at TJ's aren't (fresh). Somehow they've mastered the art of making everything taste the same. Over the period of a year, six different visits, the food never climbed beyond mediocre and the service matched the food. At best, TJ's is forgettable. read more

From out of town... started with the amazing french onion soup. It was incredible. Plus they also have this balsamic/olive oil pesto that was great. For entree, I had the marinated flat iron steak. I'm glad I didn't sub out the garlic mashed potatoes those and the veggies were awesome. The steak had a great flavor. Service was perfect. Solid place. Talked to my friend who grew up here, she said this place is an oldy but goody! I'd come back for sure. read more

Heard great things about the food. Last night a friend and I ate here and to say the least, it wasn't very good. The food was not entirely hot and didn't seem all thoroughly cooked in my opinion. But, the beverages were swell, as was the gluten free bread. read more

My wife had lunch with colleagues at Tj's today. Our 7-month old son is allergic to dairy, and since my wife is nursing him, she can't eat dairy, either. My wife ordered one of the few menu items with no cheese: a fish sandwich. She asked the waitress if the bread had butter on it. She said "no." My wife made it clear that she cannot eat any dairy. The waitress assured her it didn't have butter (she seemed confused that butter would be on the bread.) When she brought the sandwich, it was clear the bread was buttered. When my wife asked the waitress again, the waitress only then asked the chef who confirmed that there was butter on the bread ... and the fish was cooked in butter!!! My wife waited over 30 minutes for a second sandwich. After waiting so long, my wife told the manager about it. She only said, "oh, ok". Not an apology at all! When the second sandwich finally came, it looked like it also had butter on the toast. She ate half the sandwich because she was hungry and her colleagues were waiting on her. As they went to pay their bills at the register, my wife suggested to the manager she shouldn't have to pay. The manager waived it rather reluctantly and never apologized! Now our son can't sleep tonight and is crying. His nose is running, and he's having a hard time breathing. Thanks a lot "Tj's". If you have food allergies, DONT' GO HERE. They don't care! read more

Wonderful wait staff who stayed late for our family in from out of state to enjoy dessert. Delicious desserts!! There were more than 5 outstanding choices and we enjoyed them thoroughly. read more

Great food, great service, live entertainment in the summer, outdoor dinning, great prices, good for families, Christmas parties. Locally owned and operated. They don't have a franchise feel just high home grown quality. Chefs and staff alike deliver excellence. read more

You can order the same dish there 6 different times and it will come out six different ways; what ever they happen to have in the kitchen on any given night. They only get the order right 25% of the time so if you enjoy surprises.......such as breaded fish in place of blackened salmon this is the place for you. Service is worth the $2.00 per hour they are paid. Tom and Jack would not be happy. read more

Service was bad. Food was not the best. This was the opinion of all our group of about 30. Waited 30 min just to pay for meal. Will not return! read more
