Comments on: TJ’s Everyday, Paoli http://mainlinedine.com/rest/tjs-everyday-paoli.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:57:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: paoli paulie http://mainlinedine.com/rest/tjs-everyday-paoli.html#comment-53450 paoli paulie Tue, 13 Apr 2010 03:17:04 +0000 http://www.mainlinedine.com/rest/tjs-everyday-paoli.html#comment-53450 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). Great bar food.

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. Surprisingly all around good, food, drinks, service. Family event, inlaws, sister, her husband, their two-year old, my ten-year-old.

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!

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.

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.

While it is intended to be a temporary condition, I am confident it will be extended in time as well as days.

A great beer selection and everything we have tried on the menu is delicious! Wait staff is always attentive and friendly. We're so lucky to have this reliably yummy restaurant in our neighborhood! Love that there is no smoking in the dining room and it's quite separate from the bar area, so it's quieter. Everyone should check TJ's out...you will not regret it.

Scott is one of the best bartenders in the area at one of the best places in the area. I am at TJ's often and I can guarantee you that 99% of the people enjoy Scott and his customer service skills. Although, if you are arguing about the chicken cheesesteak coming back on the menu, I will agree with you there. As far as losing 3 people who know you, it's probably for the better.

Beginning in March, TJ's will introduce "Smoke Free Saturday Nights" This will answer the questions none of us have answers for... 1-Will smokers feel inconvenienced by having to go outside to smoke or will they just go to another establishment? 2-Are there truly enough non-smkers to make up the difference of business lost. In two or three months of this test market we should have a clear answer to all the unknowns. I'll be happy to share the results with anyone interested.
