Probably the best steak I've ever had in my life. Great service and lovely atmosphere. I'd give TJs a 5 out of 5 stars. Better than the Roadhouse or Grill #9 (Cambridge City) edit to review. Repeat tonight and not disappointed again mouth watering steak best I've ever had. Salute to quality beef and A1 chef. Everything was perfect. This is not to be confused with the previous Lampost.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at TJ's this evening! Poppers with a peach sauce were delicious, and the French Onion soup was amazing! I chose a Ceasar salad with griiled chicken, and my husband ordered the pork chop with mashed potatoes and gravy and roasted Brussel sprouts. We will definitely be back!

The food we wanted was out of stock, the food we got was great, service was excellent, almost overstaffed and smothering but a great crew. Kind of a smaller place could be an intimate place but with two birthday parties there it was a little loud.

For being a place that just opened about three weeks ago, everything I’ve had so far has been good. I wouldn’t change a thing. I know they are trying out different things on the menu. Try to figure out what is right for them. I wish them the best of luck, and if you do go there, get the steak. It is delicious, but if you’re not in the mood for a steak, the Reuben is good, and if you go at lunchtime, the pizza burger is good. disregard all the reviews that are from the past couple years because this place only opened three weeks ago.

We had a party of 8 family members enjoying an evening meal together. It was busy and although it was busy, we never felt neglected. Each meal was very well prepared with attention to detail. I had contacted them earlier to make them aware that we would have a larger party. The atmosphere was relaxing and laid back. I enjoyed seeing this small town restaurant filled with diners on a Friday evening.

Today was our first visit and already planning to come back next weekend. The food was amazing, definitely one of the best filets I have ever had and well worth the price. The cherry cheesecake was fantastic and the service was great as well.
