This place is disappointing . Service was terrible. Tehy forgot our appetizers, brought them out after dinner when they realized they forgot them and then wanted to charge us . Friend of mine was limited to 2 beers – he is 6’8″ 260lbs because of it’s alchohol content, I think he can handle 3 beers on his own.
Avoid this place. Food is mediocre, decor is a bit cheesy, and service is spotty/slow.

Hello DT;

We are so sorry you had a less than stellar experience at TJ’s.

We pride ourselves on service and quality that is aligned within our price point.

Our most expensive menu item is just $13.25 and the majority of our menu items are priced under ten bucks. Perhaps you were looking for more of a special occasion restaurant than the more casual pub atmosphere of TJs Restaurant & Drinkery.

Our rolls come from the famed LeBus Bakery of Manayunk. Not only have we never had a complaint about them, many guests rave about the quality of LeBus bread.

BTW, “the owner’s wife” is also the owner.

Cheers,

T&J

THIS PLACE WAS HORRIBLE!!!! The service was really bad and the hostess, I guess, who greeted us had an attitude and was rude ( I think she was the owner’s wife). The waitress was even worse and sub par considering the prices they charged. I had to clean my silverware in my glass of water and the table was dirty.

As for the food, not one of us in our party, had anything good to say about the food and the roll that my sandwich was served on, tasted day old. This meal was suppose to set the tone for a memorable evening for us and it turned out to ruin it for us.

Last but not least, there was an incident there with some customers and a guy (I guess the owner) acted like a real jerk to the customers who were regulars and they ended up leaving.

AVOID THIS PLACE ……. EVEN IF SOMEONE IS TREATING!!!

I’m definitely considered a “regular” there and I must say- Stacy is a fantastic bartender! Whenever they switch the taps over, I just ask her to pick something and she never disappoints. She’s always helpful & courteous, in general- she’s super fantastic!!!

And, Scott & Kevin aren’t so bad either :)

Great bar food. Beers are great, but be careful with alot of them one equals about 10 miller lites and if you have a few of them you can get cut off or not be able to drive. Nice bar crowd, friendly staff.
not crazy about the decor, I’d like the flying pig decor better but you can’t do much with a bar in a strip mall (albeit a very classy strip mall).

Surprisingly all around good, food, drinks, service. Family event, inlaws, sister, her husband, their two-year old, my ten-year-old. Very good atmosphere. Everyone’s food was well-prepared, fresh ingredients, right temperature, attractively presented. I’d call it comfort food, as a compliment, but it would still satisfy sophisticated restaurant-goers. It was one of the best selections of beers, with great ones on tap, that I’ve seen anywhere in the broader Philly area. Try the flights! This was a great find for us, and we expect to go back regularly.

Went to TJ’s on a whim on Saturday night after a long (12 hour) day at work. Was happy to find one of my favorite beers available, Ten Fidy Imperial Stout. While drinking my beer I was able to watch 2 different games. After that beer I let the Scott the bartender pick my next 2 beers. He asked what styles I preferred and picked 2 great choices. I also ate the boneless wings off the late-night menu. It was the perfect amount of food for the late hour, and they were delicious. It was the perfect end to a long day! I would recommend TJ’s to everyone!

Went there for the first time a few weeks ago with the wife and kiddies. Was blown away by the beer selection. I had something that was on a draught special and a Voodoo Love Child. Both were excellent, as was the food. My wife was a little unhappy with the ‘slow’ service (that’s a COMPLIMENT by the way. Trust me, we’ve been wed 15 years…). My only gripe is probably caused by the great state of Pennsylvania’s arcane liquor laws. We had to leave in a rush and I couldn’t take my unfinished beer (in a 22oz bottle, I asked for a cork) home with me. I thought you could purchase beer to go from bars in PA. Great place.

I had a dish here a few weeks ago … chicken breasts in a framboise sauce, with mashed potatoes, and carrots … sounds kind of generic but literally it was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten … seriously. The amount of raspberry flavor with the chicken was just right, a fork alone could cut my chicken, and the potatoes were homemade … and all real. No pretentions here, no attitude here … just good food, good service, and awesome beer selection. I like the bar side of the restaurant, the TVs, and the sofas.
