    I work out in Hawthorne in the afternoons. All of my coworkers love this place, but I'd never had…read morethe chance to go, so I was happy for a Monday afternoon where we all could go! The restaurant is under new management and owners, but they do have some cow decor in honor of them. The new owners do accept credit card/debit card payments for food. PJ's is an absolutely adorable place situated in the Hitchcock's plaza. The minute you step in, this place is warm and inviting. The wait staff is friendly and so is the cook. If you're lucky, you'll get to hear them talking back and forth--it really makes the place feel like a home. Service was quick and very mindful of our water/coffee cups being filed. On this day, I had the veggie quesadilla, some beef quesadilla, sauté veggies, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Let me tell you--this food is amazing. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant give me so much flavor in my side of veggies. And the gravy on those potatoes was perfect. Some of the other items that my coworkers recommend are the meatloaf (a special), the liver and onions, the Shepard's pie (also a special), and the greens. It's really nice to have a restaurant in Hawthorne with so many options and good taste. This is a place worth putting on your regular breakfast or lunch dine out rotation. I'm looking forward to trying some of these specials myself!

    Great food and sooo affordable! I love "mom and pop" and "hole in the wall" places and PJ's is one…read moreof my favorites.

    You know, I think this place has been in Waldo across the way from the giant horse for a very long…read moretime, but I never really acknowledged that it even existed until just a little while ago. So I figured I would give it a try. Pulling up, it is very non-descript. Looks kind of run-down, almost like it isn't open except for the neon sign saying that it is. Walking inside, you are presented with a small room to the left with a couple of booths and a couple of tables to the right, along with a counter with stools in front. I figured the counter was the place to be at a diner like this, so that is where I sat. The staff eventually got to me with a menu, and took my drink order. For my lunch, I went with the burger and an order of fries. They took a while to get out, made fresh (I assume) in the kitchen. I will say that the price is appropriate for the food, and the food is fair. Nothing really outstanding, but not bad either. What really stood out to me however was the general attitude of the staff. It was just... sad. They just didn't want to be there, resented working there in the first place, and had no qualms about showing that in their demeanor to everyone visiting the restaurant. Sadly, what this does is bring down the atmosphere of the place, which means that the guests don't really want to be there either, continuing the downward spiral. Frankly, despite there being so few places to eat in the Waldo area, I will most likely not be returning. I would rather drive up to Starke or down to Gainesville than eat here again.

    Small, family owned restaurant for breakfast and lunch - closes at 3:00 p.m. Friendly folks; Akai…read moreanswered questions about the race car displayed, and even allowed a photo. And a breakfast to die for. The country fried steak among the top 10 I've ever had. Eggs and bacon cooked perfectly, biscuits and gravy, and grits just fine. Plus a super reasonable price, so what a deal. The kind of eatery you wish you had in your neighborhood.
