“ I had a really great experience here! This restaurant is very clean and inviting. Even the restrooms were very well maintained, stocked, and clean! We were instantly greeted by a really personable young man named Mason. He was kind to my kids and very knowledgeable. You’d think he owns the place with as much as he knows about the food and menu. He was a great server, as well. As far as the food goes, the prices were great! We tried the fish dip, mahi tacos, crab cakes, and lobster roll. The kids got chicken tenders and grilled cheese. The portions were a bit small but for the price and quality - you really can’t beat it! The crab cake was incredible! They also make really good hush puppies and fried okra. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely eat here again when we’re in the area! ”
“ Surprisingly good. I had always heard good things about this restaurant, but had never been to. It looked like a “fast-seafood” restaurant to me. It is not! All the food we ordered was vey good. Service was great, and it is not expensive. I will go again for sure!! ”
“ TJ’s is great. I wasn’t sure what to order, but one of the staff members, Jeff, was so helpful and suggested the firecracker chicken tacos. So good! Would absolutely return. ”
“ First visit There with 5 others - all had great food and plan to return again. Best shrimp and grits that I have ever had. ”
“ I was in Clermont, Florida for a couple of weeks and one of my college friends from grad school had just moved to Mims, FL. We found this in searching for a place between us to meet and one that had seafood...not the boil places or heavy batter like fish & chips. We went early, when they opened at 11: 30, and avoided the line to order. I was disappointed in my food. I asked what was not frozen and got Haddock, I believe, with fried okra as the side. I enjoyed the okra which was cooked perfectly and very tasty, but the fish did not compare to the seafood we had when I lived in eastern NC. My friend got the crab cakes, which were costly, and they appeared to be overdone. She also ordered black beans as her side (that must be a Florida thing...my daughter has a pantry full of black beans at her home there.). It was a nice place for us to visit and catch up with each other. After bringing our food, there was no additional table service. They were busy at lunchtime. I got a fountain soft drink, but it did not have a good flavor...probably the water was the culprit with that. We really enjoyed walking down to Songbirds, in the same strip mall, which had an interesting blue piano out front and ended up being a great experience for two people who majored in music and have spent our lives performing and teaching. It is a studio for children (and some adults) with dance, art, music lessons, books and instruments for sale, as well as an instrument repair shop. The owner gave us a little tour and she herself was also a voice major in college. We strolled up to the little boutique in the strip also. We heard several people say that the fish tacos are the best thing on the menu, so if I return, I will try those. ”
“ Nice google find! We ordered the blackened chicken tacos with rice and beans. And Gator Bites. Both meals were served promptly and had tremendous flavor. Highly recommend a stop in at TJ’s ”
“ Delicious easy meals! I can't eat fish, but the burger was amazing, and they serve you normal portion sizes, not the massive ton of food u can't possibly eat. The family loved the shrimp and fish. Very friendly helpful staff clean and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend! ”
“ So yummy and family owned.. fast casual style where you order at the counter. Dining room closed due to COVID, but we have been going for more than a year now and can promise that the experience in the dining room is great too. I love that you can choose different styles of cooking within the same dish. Definitely recommend. ”
