So this place is in Colfax not Auburn. And it's T.J's Roadhouse, not Texas Roadhouse. Just thought I would help people reading reviews to clarify. We have had breakfast and lunch here we all enjoyed it very much the service is good as is the food. We have tried burger's, fish & chips, steak and breakfast as someone mentioned it is right off the freeway and a convenient location with plenty of parking whether you're driving a car or RV. read more

Waited for 45 minutes to get food. Food arrived cold. Waiter tended to other people before me and my cousin. I think it was racial seeing we were the only ppl not getting served many people came in and got their food. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

The reviews this place has are questionably good. We stopped in after a long weekend of camping. We waited 10 minutes after being sat before we even got menus, and another 15 minutes before the order was taken. One we got our food, we ate and it took 20 minutes after eating for us to get the check. Not once did anyone check on us during our meal. The food itself was very mediocre at best. Overall...it just wasn't worth it and service took WAY too long. read more

I like this place and we come here often although it is a bit outdated decor wise. The food is good and we've always had great service here. So far we haven't had a bad meal. read more

My second time here. Tuesday 11 AM Ish. I decided on chicken fried steak and eggs. The meat and the batter were good, the gravy was kind of odd almost a mix of brown gravy and southern gravy with a sprinkle of paprika. The potatoes/onion/peppers tasted like the grill itself. The scrambled eggs were perfect. The sourdough toast was good. The coffee was good. The service was excellent. Overall kind of disappointed since the first time I came here it was so good. Maybe a third try to see where I come out on this place.? read more

I have gotten to go here twice. Staff is very nice. Food is just ok. If I'm in Colfax, there aren't a ton of options, so I might eat her again, but only because of limited options. read more

The food and service were amazing. They even ask you how you want your burger cooked. I'm definitely making it a frequent spot to eat at.

Stopped to see this "world famous " stop - lunch was a club and onion rings. Daughter had grill cheese and fries. Had an order of fresh fruit too. After the meal we realized why it is famous and a must stop for a meal. Service was great and the prices reasonable as well. Lots of good choices. Wines / pizza / breakfast and burgers. Right off the highway 80 and plenty of parking. We will be back. read more

Decided to stop and get a bite to eat before getting too far up the road and saw a billboard that said this place. Place wasn't busy as we got there before lunch rush, I ordered a diet chin burger (1patty) which was more than what I could finish so I came home with half a burger. Fries were nice and hot/crispy. Service was nice, friendly and attentive. Would definitely be back next time through to try another delicious meal. read more

Service was great ... food was good ..little skimpy on the meat for the pulled pork but the pile high was definitely worth 17. Uncharged for sides was a bit steep at 3 bux a pop. Definitely will stop again when we head this way. We will stick with fries or chips though read more

Do not sleep on bread pudding desert it's fire. Burgers are delicious and worthy of the world famous title. Service was great considering how packed it was. Bus boy came by 3 times for refills and waitress answered all the questions and made good suggestions. Considering how much business fluctuates that nailed the rush. Good job read more

They have a very fun menu. Make sure you read all the items. I ordered the chicken sandwich, got it fried with lettuce, tomato, Ortega chili, cheese, and avocado on grilled sour dough. It came with salsa, which was perfect because instead of fries my husband got the home made tater chips. He ordered the tuna sandwich with bacon. The bacon was thick and crispy and delicious. Service was good, but slow. I like the bar area, and can see this place get very busy and probly loud, but a good time. Food is good, definitely recommend for a nice sized lunch. read more

This place is definitely the highlight of our stay in Colfax. This restaurant is right off the highway and it has great parking, good vibes and great cooking. The portions are huge, which was a pleasant surprise! My friend and I were staying in the area and we wanted to eat somewhere with good food options to fuel us for the trip ahead! We came for dinner and my friend had a burger and I had the chicken strips with buffalo sauce. The chicken strips were a standard size portion and just enough food for me, but the burger was an enormous meal! My friend could only eat half of it and had to take the rest home. Good place for good food and fast service! We would definitely come here again if we are in the area or driving through. read more

This place definitely had a homemade cooking feel to it. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered several different items including the clownifornia burger - had a fried egg on it with avocado, chili relleno sandwich - was cheesy and made with sourdough bread, double chin burger - very big with 2 patties and onion rings, turkey dip was fresh and hot, the potato salad was phenomenal and highly recommend it, fries for each meal were great, onion rings and jalapeño poppers were also fabulous. Kids hot dog and corn dog meals were good choices for kids. Can't say enough great things about this place. Very tasty! Has the hole in wall and homemade cooking feel to it. Check them out! read more

On the way back from Tahoe, we stopped there to get a bite. Food and service was great. My 6 year old left his jacket in the restaurant and we didn't notice until we got home which was a 2 hour drive away. I called the restaurant and they found his jacket. I asked if I could pay for them to ship it to me. I received a call back from the manager the next day saying they were shipping me the jacket and that the owner said they were going to cover the shipping even though I offered to pay it. It's nice to know there are still some great people in this world that will help selflessly. Amazing place, amazing people and the kind of people I want to spend my money with. Thank you guys and we will see you soon. read more

Really good breakfast with quick service on our drive up the 80 freeway. Dog friendly too! TJ's scramble (4/5) delicious mix of veggies with egg and ham. Hash browns were perfectly crispy. I had this with French toast which was okay. I liked the pancake more. * I did ask for jalapeños on the side and was charged $1. FYI. New York steak and eggs (5/5) Cooked perfectly for my husband with scrambled eggs. He got a pancake on the side and that was also delicious. Place has a cool vibe to it. Bill came out to $46 for 2. Coffee was okay. Id probably stop by if we were in the area again. read more

Stopped on our way home. Best burger I have eaten in a long time. Friendly waitress. Excellent service. Would definitely eat here again.

Service and Ambience was fabulous, unfortunately for me I ordered the Fish & Chips and the fish was overcooked in old oil and I was so disappointed. Everyone else had a great meal including my husband but my meal made me quite ill later in the evening with the grease from the fish wreaking havoc in my stomach :( I really should have sent it back or asked to order something different but that's on me. $18 for fish that was less than palatable but I ate it anyways because I was just so hungry from the Nevada County Toy Run I really didn't want to wait any longer for a new or different order to be cooked. read more

I love their breakfasts & other meals as long as you eat them there. When I took it to go it's just not the same. The ambience is awesome, very casual & friendly. The eggs Benedict are my favorite. You get a ton of food. read more

Great food! I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing. My buddy got a burger and he said it was great as well.

We went here for breakfast before going to Reno. Prices are pretty good and the breakfast isn't bad either. Our friend had the chili omelette, I had the 222 and my bf had the eggs Benedict. So if your going to Reno stop by and have some breakfast. read more

The servers were friendly and efficient. Great place to eat!! read more

We haven't been here in almost a year. I wish they had all day breakfast otherwise I think we wouldn't have waited this long. This time our visit was redeemed since the last time. They must have changed up their bread because our sandwiches were SO GOOD and made us remember why we use to love coming here. The last time the sandwich bread crumbled and fell apart causing a big mess but the bread this time was big and soft and made our sandwiches much better. My beef was a little dry and beef jerky but the au jus and the soft bread made up for it. After a day of mountain biking and a long drive home I couldn't resist getting the best bread pudding that TJs makes. Please please consider ALL DAY BREAKFAST!!! read more

The ambience was excellent. We really enjoy it. There was three of us. We were sat very quickly, and our drink orders were taken care of quickly. It seemed like forever before they took our order, which gave us plenty of time to look over the extensive menu. I went with the bacon wrapped meatloaf that has a disclaimer that it contains pork. That's funny. One in my party had a breakfast plate. Took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive which is fine because you don't want your food at a restaurant too quickly, it means that it was pre-prepared The food was excellent and another person in my party. Really enjoyed our bacon wrapped meatloaf sandwiches. Would definitely go again, but maybe avoid peak lunchtime read more

TJ's Roadhouse, located in Colfax, CA has been serving amazing breakfast, lunch and dinner to Colfax locals, and travelers along busy Interstate 80 for the past 15 years or so. The restaurant has become a Placer County icon, and is noted for serving one of the best breakfasts in the Gold Country. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be welcomed by a "Please Wait to be Seated" sign, but on this Tuesday morning the dining room was lightly seated, and the friendly hostess simply waved and greeted me with "Seat anywhere you want to." I sat at the bar, which is where I prefer to sit when I dine solo. The large dining room is comfortable, and in keeping with the Gold Country atmosphere of the town of Colfax, is decorated like the town... very rustic. The decor features many mounted animals, photos, posters, beer signs and lots of "Americana," along with countless American flags. I love it! From my seat at the counter, I was able to watch the friendly staff in action, and chit-chat as their time permitted. I was also offered a glimpse into the kitchen through the order pick up window. From the "Meat Lover's" section of the breakfast menu, I went with tri-tip, hash brown potatoes, two eggs along with sourdough toast. You get to choose between hash browns, home fries for your potatoes, and toast or pancake for your side. The menu offers many other options at an additional cost, including biscuits and gravy. The "star" of my delicious and hearty breakfast was the tri-tip; a tender cut of "Certified Angus Beef," which made for a great cut of beef for breakfast. The generous serving of beef was perfectly seasoned, marinated and grilled medium - my hostess didn't ask for my preference - and was juicy, tender and simply delicious! The generous serving of beef was cut into large bite-size pieces, which allowed for the marinade and juiciness to showcase, and was fork-tender, so the cutting knife was simply window dressing. I used my fork to cut each piece of meat into smaller sizes, which always seems to work for me. The reward: One bite into a piece of the tender beef, and I was rewarded with perfect flavor, a rush of juices, and a taste that I'll remember for a long, long time. It's always a difficult decision to choose between home fries or hash browns, but today I went with hash browns and I truly believe I made the right choice. The generous serving of hash browns were perfectly fried to a crispy, golden brown on the outside, and tender white inside, which made for a perfect side dish, and perfectly prepared hash brown potatoes. The chef has talent! The two eggs are fried "your way," using butter, and I went for sunnyside up, as when eggs are fried on the "sunny side," they blend perfectly with hash browns. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and worked well with the hash browns. I placed the eggs on top of the hash browns, added a dash or two of Cholula Mexican hot sauce, and simply ENJOYED the amazing diner cuisine! The two pieces of sourdough toast were on the thick side, toasted perfectly and coated with the right amount of real butter. They made for the perfect way to sop of every bit of goodness from my breakfast. If you're in the mood for a superior breakfast, look to TJ's Roadhouse. The "Americana" diner cuisine is simply delicious, and the portions are large. No wonder TJ's was voted by the Auburn Journal as the "Best of the Best" in 2019 for casual dining in Colfax! My breakfast was simply amazing. Tri-tip was the main attraction to my breakfast, but the side of hash browns was as good as it gets, and the fried eggs were delicious. This breakfast was as good as it gets, and kept me satisfied and happy all day. I simply enjoyed a salad for dinner at home, as when it came time for dinner, I was still moderately full. Great food, HUGE quantities, a rustic, comfortable dining along with friendly staff make TJ's Roadhouse a 5-star diner! read more
