Such a cute spot to stop and have some down home cooking. Hit the spot, simple times and honest ppl, it's a rare thing anymore but they have it here. It was a perfect spot on my way to disconnect from the busy non stop flow of SoCal. I'm so happy I stopped here, the eggs Benedict Florentine was spot on. Thank you ladies, I'll be sure to come back. read more

We love TJ's Roadhouse. The whole family goes there 2x per week almost every week. In two years I ordered the Soup du Jour and NEVER had one I didn't like...actually LOVE most of them. The Meatloaf is real good and the Spicy Shrimp Pasta is excellent. Their "sister" Mexican restaurant, Madi's is great too! read more

Great service and food! I had the Chorizo and Eggs breakfast with house potatoes, flour tortillas and coffee. There is nothing bad to write! Everything was great! This is a great place for breakfast on your way to Sacramento. There is always a room full of locals there, but I always feel welcome! read more

TJ's Roadhouse - Mural over table - American Near Me - Colfax, California

Overall this place was great. The food was delicious and made well. The portion size was good for the price. The service was as expected. 3 of us ordered the fish and chips and didn't expect cheese on the garlic fries though. We ended up taking the cheese off. It would be nice if the menu specified this part, but otherwise everything tasted amazing. read more

So I really wanted to like this place. Had driven by it many times on the freeway, but never stopped. Anyhow we tried it, and it was OK. The medium burger was cooked more to raw or medium rare, and wasn't really seasoned. The chili was also a little bland and very beanie. The highlight of the meal was their fresh made onion bun, so good, might just buy those if they sold them. The service and food ticket times were slow, but there was a large group at one table, so maybe we just came at a bad time. read more

Nicest people ever! I'm a local here in Colfax, and If you go in there to order something to go, forget about it! It takes them forever to even take your order!! It's deceiving, because all the employees walk past you MULTIPLE times, each, and won't even look at you and smile or anything. I get that they're busy, but no one walking by can stop for 1 solid minute and take my order? Could be even 30 seconds! I don't even need a menu!! I've been a customer here for years, and this has NOT changed. This time, was the last straw. I walked right over across the parking lot to buzz through Joe's and got helped immediately. I don't expect to cut in front of people that sit down, but I looked... everybody in there already had food or had ordered, or at least had menus and water/coffee. Ridiculous. I might be back! Gave it another shot! I love the food here. This time was much better, much faster, better service at the door, everything. Actually was completely different then the last time...and most times before, they all interacted with me, and wanted to make sure I was helped. The older lady (waitress) that's been there forever since Jim owned it helped me this time. She's awesome! read more

Food was good especially after "roughin' it" for a few days. Definitely needed coffee and a good hearty breakfast. The service took a little long but the waitresses were very nice and attentive. read more

Expansive menu, delicious food especially the battered fries, wonderful and friendly service - the perfect road trip stop!

This was the best meal I had in my meal to california. They sat us immediately and all the food was incredible!! The owner personally served us and I was surprised at how kind, personable and professional his whole staff was. The ambiance was wonderful. Check it out if you are in the area :) read more

I love the burgers here! I've tried the steak and it was not great. It tastes like it came right out of the freezer. I've had the chicken alfredo, and it was pretty decent. I've had breakfast here and it was decent. I'll always come back for the burgers read more

Update: Our travels have brought us back to TJ's a few times. I wanted to say, the food is still great, and the service has improved immensely! We do enjoy the break in our travels!! read more

WOW ! What a great find. The breakfast chicken fried plate was large and delicious. Absolutely worth a stop right off interstate 80.

Oh, how I wish we lived closer! The family & I stopped here on the way home from Reno for a late breakfast & it was just fabulous! When you walk in, it feels like a "hole in the wall" kind of place, but give it a chance! They have the BEST biscuits & gravy I have ever tasted. We also had the carnitas omelet & pancakes. Everything was delicious! The service was great! Markers & coloring pages for the kids! Definitely will be back if we are ever in the area. read more

Great service, we loved our waitress! It is not very common that you get great customer services days, and she met above and beyond. The food is fantastic if you are a meat eater and the atmosphere is very casual. read more

We went on Sunday.. they were really busy. walked up to podium and asked to submit our name. the waitress said you can see we are busy. I said we are happy to wait.. no response.. so I asked how long? "god only knows". I could see 2 four tops at the end of their meal..one party of 2 in front of us. Really and then she said. "be at least an hour for service" and walked off. never took my name. have been to this place 100 times. my family meets there monthly. i turned around with my 3 guests to leave. I know other options. when another waitress said hour for food not service. but to late. TJs has lost a long time customer. I just wanted to be treated polity. Ended up at the Dine and Dash good food but more important civil. small wait time.. read more

The best good around. Best breakfast lunch and dinners. Every chance we get we go. Highly recommend You have to try it once. That's all it takes. read more

Friendly staff, great service! Food is decent. I was not impressed with their TJ's Homemade Chili.

Best restaurant in the foothills!! Food is amazing, I've been here plenty of times but it's so good I'm indecisive on what I want every time. Collin was our bartender, he made us great margaritas and kept us entertained. He's a funny dude and a phenomenal worker! Jessica was our server, and she was checking on us at the perfect times. Between her and Collin, we were always laughing or talking about something. Great food, amazing service, definitely my favorite spot in colfax! 12/10 would recommend to anyone. read more

Nice friendly local spot to eat. Good salad and good chili dog . Great service. Clean bathrooms

We stopped by here on the way to Truckee, and boy oh boy was it cozy and warm! The ambiance is lovely, with friendly staff and cute decorations (LOVE the cow painting). Now, the burgers were hyped up. Like, REALLY hyped up. Like best in the WORLD hyped up. So you already know, we had to give it a try! I got a simple cheeseburger, which came with a brioche bun (but you can choose a different one (but brioche is superior)), a cheese slice, a patty (medium), lettuce, tomato, onion, and 4 pickles. Also fries. Now, the fries were delectable. Slightly underdone for my taste, but the restaurant was very busy so it was understandable. Texture was nice and crispy and flavor very fresh potato-y. Burger? Solid, delightful, simple and delicious. Not too oily which I appreciate, it felt good in my tummy. The coffee is also lovely, good bean flavor and not too bitter but not too watery. I left this place full and happy. The experience was nice for the Christmas season, and though I doubt we will ever go again, it was a great stop for our hungry bellies. I recommend stopping by for a cozy time and tasty bite. Now we move forward with our journey, farewell my friends! Safe travels to you all. read more

The food is good for a diner. The staff is friendly. But on 2/3 of our visits we have been told upon walking in that we can come in if we want, but there is a long wait for food, and they aren't kidding. There's even a long wait to order. Last visit we received tater tots that were so hard they were inedible. On this visit, or order was missing something, but the food was decent. I think this could be a cool little restaurant if they were sufficiently staffed. They are just totally overrun and need more help. Oh and also to keep customer's dogs off the tables... I saw a chihuahua literally climbing on a table tonight. I mean, I know it's casual roadside Colfax, but come on people. read more

The food is good. I didn't appreciate the 2nd amendment paraphernalia. Obviously, their right to express their opinion on such a divisive issue, but I won't be going back. read more

Had a bacon omelette and bacon was burnt not crisp burnt and service was non existent.

This place is so beautiful & welcoming! Partner & I are visiting out of town & this place hits the spot after swimming in the river! Partner got pepper burger with sweet potato fries, while I opted for the owl which is a stander grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion & pickles. Amazing place to visit! read more

The first couple times I came in, 2 yrs ago, it was great. Then it went downhill. With the new ownership, I was optimistic. My mistake. Cold food, thrown in a box. Portion of French fries is an insult. I worked w Richard 5 yrs ago, so I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe it was the other guy.. I should probably add that, when making a grilled sandwich(actually, almost anything cooked on any heated surface) a 'liaison' is employed for flavor, texture, and color. Some just call it 'lube'. In this instance, that was forgone; likely so to avoid the need to clean the grill again. At 720. I could've stayed home, thrown bread in a toaster, meat in a microwave, and said a melting prayer over the cheese. Admittedly, a sore neck made for a bad day... I'd just hoped to find a reprieve. I will try again- but I'll peep in the pass-through first. read more

Came in for a bite to eat on my way to Grass Valley, when I walked in, I stood at the hostess podium and four wait staff walked past me, and no one acknowledged my presence. Finally, after about 5 minutes of me standing there someone asked if I had been helped. When I said no, she asked what I needed? I said how about a table to have lunch at? At this point, she sat me at a table, where I was ignored again for another 5-10min after putting my menu down. An employee who I saw waiting on other table, sat at the table next to me, counted a tip, then started straightening, and looked up, and saw I was looking at her, then she asked if I needed something to drink. At this point I just felt like this was going to be a poor experience at best, and was best to cut my losses. I got up and left, and went down the street to Dine-N-Dash Cafe, where I was greeted with a smile by two different employees, and sat down virtually immediately. The wait staff was friendly and attentive from the start. I would suggest going there if you're looking for a nice dining experience. read more

Ordered food for pickup on our way from playing in the snow. I loved how I didn't have to wait long for the food. Definitely recommended one of the sandwiches because they are bomb with the fries and they have a wide selection of sandwiches. Definitely worthwhile stopping in colfax for this! read more

Some of the most welcoming staff in Colfax. Great destination after visiting Nyack or Kingvale. The food was great and very inviting. Recommend to go here anytime or on the way back home from the snow. read more

This is for the restaurant in Nevada City. It's a great looking place decorated with old west memoribilia ... and the food looked really good that others in my party ordered. And those other people were happy with what they had ordered. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was flat, small and disappointing. I was hoping for some nice fat cod but his was very flat and a bit tough. Go to Alta Sierra for great fish and chips. Don't order that here. read more

Great burgers. Service is good relaxed and easy. Beachfront is great too for the ambiance

Me and co worker got stuck on the 80 one night, so we decided to try this place out, the burgers were great!

7/27 was the first day we went. It was around 11 am. The second day was 7/28 at 12:30 or so. Anyway. Just WOW. This is just a quiet, quaint little diner with fantastic food. We came here on a Monday (and Tuesday) morning and there was a surprising amount of people dining on the patio. Everything that we ordered was on point! The corned beef hash was AMAZING. I order this dish whenever I get breakfast as a benchmark to how good the food is. Anyway. Let me break this down into some basic terms. Service: there was quite a few people on the patio and our server was still managing her tables and very well. Everything came out in a timely manner and we felt like we were taken care of. Drinks: I mean. It's brunch, I got my coffee and OJ, and a Budweiser and all was well lol. Food: Monday, specifically, was fantastic. I haven't had breakfast like that in a long time. I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over medium and hash browns. Everything turned out amazing. Perfectly seasoned, eggs to temp. My boyfriend ordered the 2-2-2 with a side of homefries. Tuesday, not so much. Eggs were still to temp, but the homefries weren't very good. Not to throw anyone under the bus but there's a bit of a consistency issue there. At the end of our meal on Monday, we asked to meet the chef. We found out his name was Wayne. Both of us being chefs and through our fair share of brunches, we knew this guy was a badass. We tipped him out ourselves when we met him. No one really knows how hard it is to present perfection ESPECIALLY cooking breakfast and (excuse my language) he FUCKING NAILED IT. He was also alone that day, and he got his ass handed to him. Whoever is reading this, make this guy your chef, if not, the standard at least. He also needs a raise (being a chef, I know he's not being paid enough). He made our meal. Good job Wayne. We will be back! (I mean, we were back the next day). In conclusion: Wayne is a Badass. The corned beef hash is amazing. Don't burn your best cooks out and take care of them. read more

The second time around the food was fresh, tasty, cooked just the way I requested, medium rare. Onion rings were to die for. Service was friendly and I appreciate the owners follow up to my concern about a previous visit. I believe it was just a one off, isolated mistake. They genuinely are concerned that the customer is satisfied. read more
