On our way back from Reno/Tahoe we found this restaurant through yelp . The place is old fashioned. The food was decent but not tasty. Will not return here. I may try the pizza place down the street instead. read more

Good burgers, a bit on the greasy side and a little pricy but good. Mushrooms and Swiss was delicious.

Dove in during a recent trip to Reno. Conveniently located right off the freeway, it's a decent little spot. I was happy because we got there around 1130 and they do breakfast til like 1 or something..no matter, we ended up having a burger for breakfast..and it was indeed a tasty burger. Pulp Fiction style. The staff were pretty friendly and it was clean. Try it out if you're traveling by..you won't be disappointed.. read more

Went for dinner got the steak and shrimp special... Steak and shrimp was decent and reasonably priced, The soup was very bland and the chocolate cake for dessert was dry, my yam had way too much butter on it... Honestly i would give them another try but was not impressed or blown away by any means read more

Another wonderful dinner! We had Ribeye steaks and both were cooked Medium to perfection. We love having some char on our steaks, which both had, as well as juicy and seasoned perfectly.. Our waitress was very attentive to us and was excellent. There was a very rude woman sitting near our table who verbally assaulted this young lady about the service she received obviously, as well as her service this evening. She was obviously inebriated and very rude. I hope she apologizes to this waitress for her disruptive behavior. read more

If you like every breakfast item accompanied by butter or bathing in some sort of grease, then this is your place, otherwise skip it. Go hungry for a bit and go to the next town. read more

Sunday morning I brought my kids and I up for breakfast. We'd not eaten here before, but seen a lot of positive reviews so gave it a try. TJ's definitely lived up to it. The kids loved their food (which is great because they're PICKY). Mine was delicious as well, Jaime was our waitress and she was great! Quick to our table, checking in to make sure we were set and everything was good. She was friendly and especially because of our experience with her we'll be back. read more

Ya know, this little spot is hit or miss. My husband and I went there once for breakfast and it was fantastic. Next time was dinner and it was so bad, I had to send it back to the kitchen. Apparently, they couldn't fix the problem so they offered to not charge me for my meal. Of course the waitress (cook's daughter) wanted to argue with me about it first. I still stand by my statement to her that real pesto doesn't have neon green food coloring in it. At least it doesn't when I make it. read more

Had there club sandwich on wheat w/fries. Large sandwich. Loved it. The service was great as always and the people are friendly. had to take half of the sandwich home with me, just to much to eat it all. will always come back for more.Thanks TJ's Roadhouse.They have me located in San Francisco but I live in Alta Ca. read more

I ordered an omelet with bell peppers and onions with cheese. What they served me was a pile of uncut tough bell peppers and onions, with an egg patty and a melted slice of cheese on top. I learned to make omelets when I was 9, how hard is it too screw up an omelet? read more

Mmmmhmmm! If you're ever in the Colfax, CA area stop in here and get the Philly Cheesesteak! Soooo good! Everything on the menu is amazing! Great service and old town feel. read more

my man has been here like 5 times and I've refused to follow about 5 times, but i went there and had one of the best prime rib i've ever had!!! really nice people and i was suprized but this place serves great food! read more

Good food. Great service!!!! Had pasta. Everything here is great. Just off the freeway. Home cooking

Our family of 4 has been to TJ's Roadhouse twice in the last month for dinner, both times during trips to North Lake Tahoe from San Francisco. All I can say is yum. We haven't had a bad meal yet! It's an easy on/off the 80 freeway in either direction. Service is great and super friendly. Highly recommend the spotted owl which is a terrific grilled chicken sandwich. There was a pasta dish with veggies that was terrific too and I am pretty sure the marinara sauce was homemade. Great place to stop on the way to Tahoe! read more

Clean,friendly,great service and the food was absolutely delicious!! We live in Grass Valley and will be eating here again! And that is rare for us. read more

Stopped in on the way to Travis AFB from SLC. Fun little place in a cute town. I had a burger and salad. Ordered the burger medium rare and it really was medium rare! Reallllllly good flavor. My friend had grilled turkey bacon and Ortega chili sandwich and she says it was PHENOMENAL. Great service. A little pricey for a burger, iced tea and salad at $16 including tip. I'd go back! read more

5 stars for service and 5 stars for the food! My friend and I split the Double-Chin on a house made onion bun and the Beef Dip. Both were amazing, but the au jus sauce from the Beef Dip is crack! I even asked for more and drank the rest of it, no shame. It was so good I wanted to cry. The house made potato chips were some of the best chips I've ever had and onion rings were perfect. This place was just what we needed after a full day of snowboarding. read more

What a great respite! On our way home from Lake Tahoe. We drove around the lake and headed for Truckee. We actually wanted to eat there but it was WAY to crowded. Plus they charge for parking EVERYWHERE! Decided to hit the hiway and stop at some place different than before. We took the turnoff for Colfax and saw TJ's Roadhouse. Sure glad we stopped. My wife had the burger (done perfect medium) with a side salad. I had the hot pastrami on rye with sauerkraut and swiss. It came with home made fries. The food was great and the service was great as well. It will be our "stop" on 80 from now on. Thanks TJ's Roadhouse! read more

Tjs was awesome! I called in an order to-go we got fried chicken, a sirloin (med rare) and chili with a twice baked potatoe. The service was great, they were prompt and friendly. Food was fantastic, be aware it's seasoned on the salty side (but I'm a smoker so I kinda like salt) it was really nice to see such lovely customer service. Oh! And the waitress (before I left) in front of me looked at my check and confirmed all the orders were correct. This may seem like "the norm" to some but I was really appreciative. Great place, we'll run, had lots of happy people in there! Oh and I forgot to mention, the food was yummy! Perfectly cooked, nice portions. No disappointments here! read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant in town. However since it has changed ownership the food is not the same. Went there today and ordered the Roadhouse burger. And my husband ordered the California burger with onion rings. Burgers were dry and the meat had no taste st all, onion rings were greasy.so sorry that we will have to find a new place to eat read more

I've been here once and probably won't go back. The two women who helped us were rude and the service was slow. There was a hair in my wife's potatoes. When we sent the food back it looked like they had just removed the hair, changed plates and then sent back the same food. The place has potential but it certainly wasn't anything special on this particular trip. Eat here at your own risk. read more

We moved to Colfax a few months ago and coming from Grass Valley where there are a ton a\of fabulous restaurants, I was bummed at the lack of selection in this town. We found TJ's a few days after we moved in and now have become regulars. I try something new almost every time we go and have never found something that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. The food is great, the waitresses are very nice and the prices are unbeatable for the amount of food you get. Pretty sure there hasn't been a time that I finished everything on my plate! read more

The service was amazing from the time we walked in the door! The food was DELICIOUS! You can tell that the owners and management and staff take pride in this restaurant and the food they serve! We will be stopping by again anytime we return from Reno! read more

Omg!!! We were on our way back from Reno and extremely hungry. Colfax was the first place we saw that had signs for food so we stopped and I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing and came ordered to perfection. The place was clean and service was fast. The waitress was super nice and friendly. This will be a must stop every time we are in the area!! read more

Lunch on a Monday afternoon (4-15), not very busy. Husband ordered soup, I ordered Southwest Chicken (chicken, Ortega Chile, Jack Cheese, avocado, salsa). They brought husband's soup right away and then my sandwich a half hour later Sandwich didn't match menu description, I saw chicken, lettuce, tomato, maybe cheese. After difficulty getting any employee's attention, my husband (angry) said don't eat it , let's go, don't want to wait another half hour. He took my plate and put on bar or something, not sure. Next thing I know different waitress brings same sandwich back "is this yours?" Trying to tell me it's correct sandwich ( never saw original waitress again). She pointed out slivers of avocado, I never got to ask where is Chile, salsa, etc. Why lettuce, tomato? Because she said "do you just want us to take it away and take off bill?" My husband said yes. Then we waited for bill for soup but no one ever came back. Husband left $12.00 cash on table to cover $6.49 bowl of soup. As we walked out the door, one waitress said "are you leaving without paying?" Said we left $$$ on table. What a mess. Chaos, confusion, inexperience, flaky. Sandwich ingredients mattered not only for obvious reasons, but more importantly, for dietary restrictions I have. I think they're clueless they even did anything wrong. Wonder whatever happened to the original waitress??? Wonder what sandwich that was???? Guess we'll never know!!!! :) read more

I use to love this place but after last Monday I can't say that anymore! I drove all night with my friend, we stopped in to have a nice breakfast, they put us at a table by the door with a draft coming in, it was snowing outside. I asked if we could move tables, so we did! I ordered tea, they only had one kind cheap black tea and my coffee cup had lipstick on it. I was thinking OK OK I'll let it slide so it's time to order and she says we're out of hashbrowns but they got potatoes with Bell peppers in them, exactly what I'm allergic to needless to say we left and went down to Auburn to Sweet Peas, it was excellent, killer hashbrowns 20 different kinds of teas the guy even told me I could take some with me if I wanted and the place was warm and cozy oh well one less place to get money from me goodbye TJs read more

Love TJ's Road House Restaurant! I eat here quite frequently and have since they opened . Their Breakfast Lunch and Dinners are delicious ! They always have great specials ! I have never had a bad meal here . The owners here are so friendly and Hospitable and have a very hard working and friendly staff as well ! This past weekend I was in a pinch and needed to find a place for a last minute surprise party for 15 people. I called TJs and asked if I could use their back dining room and they said why of course and greeted me with a glass of wine when I got there to decorate ( Now That's Awesome!) The food was impeccable as Always !! Their Prime Rib is out of this world So Yummy ! Their Spotted Owl Chicken Sandwich and Patti Melt is Delish ! I had their special during our party which was a bacon wrapped Chicken Breast with a BlueCheese cream sauce in center served with wild rice and fresh veggies ! OMG it was good ! They do not skimp on portions at all so make sure your hungry or plan on taking home a doggie bag . All dinners I've ever had are plentiful. All my guests that attended the party last night LOVED the food and service. Thank You TJs for helping to make my special surprise party happen ! Your the BEST !!! Sincerely your customer Forever, Lisa read more

First class roadhouse cuisine. Good food and great staff. Thx

Perfect if you are looking for a little home town cooking... I always rate a good breakfast based on the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. I have to say it was one of the best... steak and gravy, crispy and tasty, eggs, right on the mark, hash browns golden crispy and perfect, toast golden and buttered perfectly. Wife commented on the pancakes... solid. Service was quick and friendly. Prices were right. We might have found a new morning tradition when returning from Tahoe. Highly recomended!!! read more

My father-in-law almost lives in Colfax so he goes often. They have really turned out to be a good restaurant. And they are very friendly too! read more

Love this place. I try to eat there whenever I am out that way. Excellent breakfast! Great service!

Had breakfast there this morning for our first time. Service was just so so. Took us awhile to get coffee, then to place our order. Food was good. Then had to wait to get our bill. Don't think we'll be back. read more

8 months ago I posted a review on your Facebook page about the service I received that day which I felt was ridiculous. Today we decided to give TJ's another chance. Bad decision. Went in and waited a few minutes while making eye contact with two servers who did not acknowledge us. Finally someone said we will be right with you. There was 4 tables with about 11 people seated - not busy looking. Finally lady approaches and says that she wanted us to know it would be 45-50 minutes to get our food because she had just placed a order for 12. I would think that if you run a restaurant on a Saturday night you would be prepared for customers. The way she said it baffled us. My husband was so put off that he told her we would take our money elsewhere. We typically expect a wait at any restaurant so had she approached us differently we may have stayed. So we took our money elsewhere. I don't get how a business can run turning people away. read more

New Owners Since 1st of year. I Definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back. We all came from Grass Valley. We had a Birthday Party with 11 of us. A+++Food, staff. I had the RibEye Steak and it was the most tender, flavorful steak I the had in many years. Most of had steak and had the same opinion which was Excellent Grade A beef. 3 sides came with the steak. We were definitely full when we left. read more

Wow, what a fabulous eating experience. Sadly I have driven past the place hundreds of times. Today as we drove past TJ's Roadhouse we saw it next to the freeway and decided to give it a try. Very quaint nicely decorated. Waitress ever so friend, made you feel at home. Food tasted SO GOOD. Lots of homade and flavorful food. Lunch for 2 with drinks under 27 dollars. We will be stopping there on every trip to Reno read more

Surprisingly awesome. Amazing burgers. Friendly service. Definitely recommend. Homemade onion bun was great. Chicken sandwich yum yum. read more

I had the French dip, house-made tater chips and an upgraded glass of wine ($10 but really, really nice). My mom had the clam chowder and key lime cheesecake. We both loved our meals AND the friendly service. Nice job, TJ's!!! read more

This will be my favorite stop to and from Reno. Their burgers are excellent and so is the service. Everyone is so warm and friendly. Did I mention the excellent burgers? Hehehe. The restaurant is clean, the decor fits the name and it's conveniently located. read more

Good food and the waitress was nice - she did a great job keeping up with the whole room basically and it was pretty full for a Thursday. Had the chicken picatta which was good - everyone else had a ribeye or hamburger and they all said it was great! Next time...red meat for me:) read more

Not a bad thing in the menu (at least for breakfast or lunch...haven't had dinner here) Breakfast is the bomb here. They give you a lit if food for very reasonable prices. Big burgers too with yummy fries! read more
