What Andrei Weber doesn't like about T J Charlies:
Terrible experience! The decor is stuck in the 90s, the tables are wobbly, and the water jugs are stained yellow. The carpet is filthy, too. Dining outside makes it somewhat tolerable, but the inside is a complete disaster! It's especially disappointing when you compare it to the Town Club or Chef Charles. View all feedback. What Lynn “Pencilmarks” likes about T J Charlies:
As for the Huge Onion Rings, they were wonderfully crunchy on the outside with a light, thin batter encasing thick, perfectly cooked rings of onion—no mushiness here, just beautifully browned goodness. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Masks are required, which I appreciate, and the seating is nicely spread out. I highly recommend this place! View all feedback.

The food was excellent, and the waitress was very friendly. The only downside was that my sweet tea had lemon mixed in, which I wasn't expecting.

I had a lovely lunch at TJ Charlie’s. The grilled cheese sandwich was delicious, and the atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. The staff was friendly as well.
