My family has been coming here for brunch a couple times now and the food is good, waitresses are always friendly, and even the customers are nice. It's like one big family getting together for brunch. On this time dining in, I didn't have the best experience. My hot chocolate looked very unappetizing after the whipped cream settled and I found meat in my hash browns. This immediately grossed me out because although I do eat meat, my husband doesn't and I couldn't help but to think what if he had gotten this plate and eaten that piece of meet and broke his long years of being vegetarian. After letting the waitress know, she apologized and let me know that everything is made "in one big grill". That didn't reassure any of the "what if" scenarios that was building up in my head. I believe this process needs to be re thought out because I'd be very upset if I was a vegan/vegetarian and I found meat in my food or just the thought of them being cooked together that close for a piece to fall in...yeah no. read more

TJ's Cafe - Lemon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grandview, Missouri

I have been here many times for the lunch. You can never go wrong with their menu. Staffs are always friendly and welcoming here in TJ's. Vintage ambiance. During my last visit, I have tried their "Giant homemade tenderloin served on a grilled bun with a side of coleslaw". Trust me, you cannot finish em in one shot. As the name suggests, it is a giant one. I ended up a taking leftovers lol. They also have a good dessert option here. Hopefully, I will visit them next time for brunch or breakfast to checkout their menu. read more

Judging from the wall's wood paneling the interior of TJ's has change little over several decades. And you can be thankful for that because the diner's owners continue to put their money into good quality food and provide it at reasonable cost. TJ's provides high value in its meals. We arrived for breakfast and TJ's was already bustling. Portions for a party of 15 were generous. Service was outstanding as multiple staff worked quickly to get meals delivered at the same time, then checked back to ensure no requests were overlooked. As a traditional diner, TJ's has a large and varied breakfast menu of American comfort foods. read more

The food is so good. There is something for everyone on their menu. The service is excellent. I really like this place. read more

TJ's Cafe - Tenderloin and Chicken Philly with fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grandview, Missouri

Got a to go order there today... they forgot the bacon in my breakfast special... so my son called and asked for the bacon and said I would come back with the receipt and get it... I arrived and was given 2 pieces of bacon that were charred black!!!! Not just overcooked.... Black!! What an obvious "we don't care about our clientele one bit! And we will make them pay for complaining!" It was inedible so I left it on the bench! read more

Before leaving home looked on this site for options as we drove south thru KC. Saw some options and was able to find this place. We were after breakfast, but not quite lunch so the place was mostly empty, but near full when finished. NOT FANCY!!!! Said that last part so if you read this and are interested you know it is a small-town cafe on the edge of KC. The building is old but clean and surprisingly large on the inside. We had lunches and both enjoyed them, We had the pork tenderloin sandwich and neither of us was able to finish it. With the fries that came with it, seemed like we left half of the food, but ate all we could. The fries were not the 'real' fries but out of a bag which I was disappointed in. But, the tenderloin sandwich was above average good. Service was very good also. Considered a piece of pie, yes, even though I didn't eat all of my sandwich, but didn't find any was willing to try. I was looking for a plain old apple or cherry. Advice here, coming off the Interstate turn west. It is about 2-3 miles and on the north side of the road. We were looking for it and still nearly missed it as there is a bend right there. They are open early. My guess is because the service is good, the food even better and the reasonable price it will be full during normal meal times. We have another trip south from Omaha towards Branson and then into Arkansas so will forgo at least once looking and trying another different place to eat here.. read more

this little treasure serves grandview with a traditional feel of your local neighborhood diner. you can expect food offerings like omelettes with toast and hash brown, pancakes with meat and eggs, breakfast sandwich (two simple options), burgers, fries.. at the entry/exit, you will sight a casing of pies and cinnamon rolls as well. my veggie omelette and sourdough toast were great. the omelette was created in a way where the eggs wrapped the veggie and cheese stuffing like a crepe, thin but substantial. it was satisfying, and the prices are not out to eat your wallet. hubs got pancakes with ham & eggs, and the pancakes were stacked in two, each the circumference of his head. he was barely making it through his brunch, and we forgot to take the box of two half-pancakes home. our waitress was delightful. she was warm, attentive and quick to take care of us. it is a small mixed bag of personable personalities serving other sections of the diner. i do not know if this is the rule, but we were asked to seat ourselves. so, whether a tables with chairs or booths, you can take your pick. i would say this is the spot to come for someone looking for an easy-going, old-fashioned american dining that will fill your tummy up read more

TJ's Cafe - Biscuits & gravy Supreme - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grandview, Missouri

I enjoyed breakfast food this morning at TJ's Cafe and it felt like i was in the old west. The place is run by a cowgirl crew with a few cowboys sprinkled around. The music was western and i really liked the decor in there. The service was excellent and served by a cowboy!! Lots of fun here. read more

The food is very good and filling definitely worth every cent and the prices are very reasonable

Never again!! We were sitting across from the pie display case. Our food had been there long enough for a couple of bites, when one of the servers decides to spray chemicals all over the display case and clean it. Why now?!?! I called our server over to complain about the smell. The owner was standing right there AND DID NOTHING BUT WALK AWAY. So, that's what I'm doing. Never again!!! read more

This is one of those GOOD old restaurants that's hard to find anymore. From the traditional breakfast plates ( I suggest The TJ's Supreme w/ sausage patties & be sure to ask for Gunslinger) to their lunch/dinner specials, meatloaf, tacos & homemade pie's. I hesitate mentioning this place bc it will affect my wait time the next time I pop in. LOL JK They've managed to hold on through these last couple years w/Covid putting a hurt'n on even the biggest of companies. So get out there and support this Local Business. I believe you'll come to appreciate the local mom & pop shops out there. Thanks for reading and if no one has told you today..... NICE BUTT read more

We LOVE TJ's for breakfast! You can never really go wrong with anything on their menu. They're friendly, quick, and efficient as well. We usually order to go to take back to work! read more

Amazing breakfast place, service is prompt and is truly a mom and pop type of atmosphere. Never had a bad meal and should be a must stop on your journey past Grandview. read more

My friends and I met up to eat here today. Two of us had tenderloins, one a chef salad and one breakfast. The tenderloins are huge with plenty of fries. The half chef salad was enough to feed two people. She said it was very good. Breakfast food was good too. Plenty to fill you up and take home too. read more

The food....... YUM The atmosphere .... Cute n cluttered Servers must be tired , because they sit on the edge of tables to take orders . I personally don't want butt juices on my table (unacceptable) . I would've given a five , coming from a mgmt professional ... BUTT JUICES ARE UNACCEPTABLE. read more

I'm not a big "greasy spoon" guy. But once in a great while I do crave some down home cooking. TJs is good food prepared and served up by some great people. You won't find better in Grandview I can promise you that. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. There is nothing fancy about it, but the "giant tenderloin" sandwich was delicious, The fries were crispy and hot. The service was excellent. We will be back! read more

Good old fashioned full plate meals for a reasonable price. Lots of fat and salt probably but sure was good! Servers are always friendly and pleasant. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We go when coming home from the VA hospital as it's a bit far to go otherwise for us. Pie is good too! read more

Hubby and I stopped for lunch and we were greeted by friendly staff and a restaurant filled with tons of regulars. I decided to try one of the specials and ordered the Rueben sandwich with fries. The Rueben was good and hubby thought my fries were excellent. For $6.95, the price was really reasonable. Hubby ordered a breakfast plate with biscuits, sausage, eggs and covered with gravy. He really enjoyed it! All in all, this is a good family restaurant/diner and I will definitely go back to try the fried chicken special. read more

Better visit this time. Our waitress was helpful. I'm confused about why entree sides aren't available 9n the weekend, but the food was good. The wait for our food was fairly long. Order an appetizer. The kitchen. moves a bit slow. read more

LOVE the pork tenderloin sandwich and the service. Live in Ohio now but always go here when we are in town. Yummy!

This was the second time to visit TJ's as the first time I went everything was fine and I was impressed. Today, however, though the food was still good, the service lacked considerably. We were told to take a seat anywhere, we did and sat there and sat there. Finally, I made eye contact with a waitress hanging around a "frequenter's" table and she came to take our order though we weren't her table to take. Then, the gal that supposed to wait on us, couldn't even bring us a few extra napkins and never checked back with us except to drop off the check. read more

Typical country style diner. Breakfast served when they are open! Omelets, biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes, breakfast items of all kinds. Pretty good just not my kind of place. More of a restaurant for the 70s age group. read more

Yea, so we had to try TJ's last week, as I had to make one of those dreaded stops by the DMV in Grandview. TJ's is pretty darn cool...nice enough restaurant that appears pretty clean. Hostess isn't terribly friendly or welcoming but the wait staff makes up for it. We were told to pick any clean table we wanted, we chose a booth at the back of the restaurant. Our waitress was kind and bubbly. I of course went for the TJ Supreme. Wow. A huge plate stacked with a biscuit, hash browns, ham, eggs and soaked in gravy. I could have afforded a bit less gravy and having the hash browns cooked a little crispier - they were a bit too soggy for my liking. Nonetheless, the meal was excellent. We enjoyed every bite and our waitress. The hostess could afford to smile but the prices were fair - we will call it an even trade! read more

They have the best & biggest hamburgers I've had in a long while! Plus they didn't cost as much as a Sonic or a Whataburger!

Great food. Love the T. J. Supreme. Have it all the times. Burgers are to die for with curly fries. The service is unique, Like family. We LOVE IT HERE. read more

Great food, reasonably priced! Their daily specials are a nice change from the standard menu. I've eaten here many times; their giant tenderloin is HUGE and delicious. The smoked brisket had a deep smokey flavor. They often have "no sugar added" coconut cream pie, too! The wait staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. read more

This place is great! It was a little hard to find but I think it was because we came from behind instead of on the main road. The breakfast food was great if a little under-seasoned. I got a burger, which was a little dry, but the fries that came with it were great. The waitstaff was also SUPER nice and it had a great down-home atmosphere with reasonable prices. Under $40 (including tip) for 3 people to eat. I can't wait to come back and try the cinnamon rolls! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the small complaints I had about the food. Otherwise amazing! read more

This is a review of the new store. The place is much bigger, but the staff is still as friendly as ever and the service is great. The daily specials had an interesting omelet made with cheeseburger filling, but I decided to go with the TJ Special. The eggs were cooked great. The gravy, hash browns, and biscuit were all very nice. I elected for the sausage patty and it was super tasty. I had a great breakfast and coffee for just under $10 before tip. I will have to come back soon for the cheeseburger omelet. read more

HOLY WHAAAAT!!! This place is crazy good fr. Very homey like a little hole in the wall you'd find in the backwood but the food is amazing fresh and the staff is so friendly you won't believe you not at a family reunion. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

My review is probably a cross between TJ's and Grubhub. Ordered chicken fried steak sandwich and a kids chicken tenders and a side of mashed potatoes and a side of gravy. Long story short, somehow TJs didn't have chicken fried steak so I got the kids meal, mashed potatoes with a hideous brown gravy and a bowl of country gravy which had been salted within an inch of its life. No call from Grubhub that food wasn't available, they stated that restaurant didn't inform them or call to ask for an alternative choice. I ate one of the chicken tenders dipping it in the cream gravy that was so awful. The brown gravy on the potatoes was leaked all in the bag and was a big mess. Disappointing read more
