TJ's — Restaurant in Town of Constantia

We just moved to Cleveland and decided to come here to eat. The interior is nice and cozy, the salad and soup bar is a little small if you are used to going to mainstream places to eat but it is perfect for the type of restaurant they have here.

I ordered the stuffed shells, the inside of the noodles were cold when they were delivered. They probably finished the noodles before the rest of the meal and wanted to bring them all out together. We got a kids $4 burger meal, good value but our medium burger was over cooked.

The wait time for the food was pretty short around 6pm on a Friday, about 15 minutes. The pricing might be a little high on some items but fair on others. The stuffed shells were $14 and came with a salad bar and soup, if you factor in a 20% tip you are looking at about $18 for stuffed shells.

The soda my wife and son ordered were about 50% carbonated. The staff are very nice, it was a great setting having so many regulars and the staff knowing the patrons personally. Even though I did not like the stuffed shells, thought they had way too much cheese on top, both of the soups were fantastic. The pasta salad from the salad bar was great. They did not charge us for the shells, I didn't complain or anything. She asked and I said it was fine, I was completely full on the soup bar. The broccoli soup was fantastic and I was happy with the price I paid.

I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are expecting high end dining, they do not pretend to be high end dining. They are small town, homey feeling, and cozy restaurant. If you don't want to drive to Clay for their restaurants or anywhere else and you want a quick decent meal, I would recommend coming here. I am sure I...

Pulling into a dirt drive way in front of a hotel, and behind the glass windows that look like a a hole in the wall bar, you'll find TJ's who claims to serve great food. The claim is false. While yes, the choices we rich and holding a wonderful yummy choices. And the staff was kinda pleasant, even if she looked and smelt like she was the bar Parsons adult entertainment. The food was as classy, and delicious as the outside of the restaurant looked. While the plate serving was fair for the higher price, the taste was truly lacking. Shrimp scampi was a plate of noodles and oil. No real tasty flavor. The stuff clams looked great on the plate, but could have done better with out so much breading, the prime rib, had zero flavor. But the pizza and burger and hot wings were great. I would highly suggest this place solely on bar food, and avoid any and all upper priced plates. But if you can try the salted potatoes, but talking to a local.. they're not meant to have...

Creative and great choices on a nice, varied menu. Appetizers, entrees, sandwiches, even a tapas menu!

Dinners are accompanied by a very nice soup and salad bar, with amazing, fresh selections and homemade soups.

Cocktails were excellent too.

Lastly, thanks TJ's for caring enough about your patrons to actually make fresh-brewed iced tea! It was greatly appreciated, and something that I regularly use as a gauge of the level of care and interest in serving quality and freshness to customers.

Nice job, and we will...
