Had lunch there with a new acquaintance. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were seated in the glass front portion of the restaurant. I had the chicken and andouille sausage gumbo with a turkey club on toasted wheat with the homemade chips. The soup was good. It had a little zing to it but not too bad. The club sandwich was huge. Lots of meat, a thick slice of tomato, lettuce and thick bacon on thick pieces of wheat toast. It was too big for me to finish and I had to take it home. Nice place for lunch.

Found T.J.'s on a restaurant search after my earlier experience at another "sports bar" in the area. A couple of miles further, but worth a try. Found them fairly easily, they are off of Lancaster road in a shopping area, so don't drive past it! Parking is a bit of a challenge during peak periods, as is seating (only been on the bar side, may need to check the "table side". ) Anyway, the hostess got me to a hightop table near the bar, place about 85-90% full. (Again, only saw the bar side) Took several minutes for the server to get to me, but not because he wasn't working, he was crazy busy, the only server I saw that wasn't behind the bar.I think they need more staff and the place is so small there isn't room for too many more servers to get in and out of the kitchen... Anyway, I ordered a drink and the banging shrimp. Again, a significant wait for the drink as he is covering everyone... got my drink with the ice about half melted, still since it was bourbon on the rocks and I didn't think I would get the next one any faster, I wasn't sending it back! About 10-15 minutes later, the banging shrimp came out and I was pleasantly surprised at large shrimp cooked perfectly, with a very light "dusting" type breading with an excellent seasoned aioli with thinly sliced almonds and cilantro garnish. A very delicious take on the "spicy shrimp" appetizer that everyone has now.... So, I liked the appetizer well enough that I decided to stay with the theme. So I asked about the shrimp and dandan noodles, the server told me it was the most popular dish in the restaurant, so I gave it a shot... Well, now I know why it is so popular. Again the perfectly prepared shrimp in a smoked paprika based spice palette with a delightful Asian noodle and an excellent mix of seasoning and garnishes, with plenty of spicy broth. By the way, I wasn't thrilled about the idea of the Brussels leafs but never even tasted them, so no worries! I have been here 3 times in as many weeks and have had this same meal each time. One of these days, I will try some of the other menu choices... but maybe not...The food gets 5 stars. The parking, seating and waiting gets maybe 3 stars. But, I suppose since I go once a week, it must be worth it...

Small but nice place with charming indoor and terrace seating on Lancaster Avenue. Menu follows those of the other Nudy's in the area, most well known for their sweet roll french toast specialties. Tried an avocado toast special that was just so-so. Huevos Rancheros quite good though not made the traditional way. Nice shredded hash browns here. Prices moderate and service very good.

Excellent bar food, quick, friendly service, and a very good selection of beers. We had an excellent lunch there on a Saturday afternoon with the family and everyone enjoyed their selection. The Texas Tommy with fries was great for the kids. The portion was a good size and more than the smaller kids could handle. We will return.

Converted home to restaurant, Julie Anne's offer a great place to have a sit-down breakfast ... or lunch. The restaurant is small, with limited seating, so time your visit accordingly. Nice menu selection (breakfast or lunch), tasty food, good service, all for a reasonable price. I would say ... nice combination. It is definitely where locals come for a meal, so you should not be disappointed. Hope this helps with your first visit.

I was extremely impressed by the size of Wegmans, and the variety of food available. The dining area of the store offers a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, sandwiches, and more, for patrons looking for a fast and tasty meal. I can only dream when a Wegmans would come to Florida.

Second location of Wayne's popular Family Friendly Restaurant with a Great Bar! Opened in June of 2014. Same Great Menu and Friendly Service!!
Reviewed By Daniel K
We've driven by many times and finally decided to stop by. When you enter, you see a comfortable bar area to the right and tables for seating to the left. They have managed a modern yet casual atmosphere good for all types. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We got lucky as it was Wednesday and select wines were half price for members so we signed up on the spot. The menu was interesting and straightforward full of classic american favorites like Meatloaf, Pulled Pork, Chicken Marsala as well as Burgers, and Brick Oven Pizzas.The quality of the food was very good and we enjoyed our Cesar Salads, Meatloaf and Tacos.We left happy diners and will certainly return.

When we arrived shortly after noon we were told that there would be a 25 minute wait to be seated. And we were seated just before the 25 minutes were up. But, when we left a bout 1:30 there were many tables available. Our advice is to arrive after 1 pm. But they do close at 3. Our party of five was very well satisfied with our selections. The breakfast items, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes were all very good. The chicken salad sandwich was also enjoyed with the hand made chips. The burger was a bit dry and the French fries were ok but nothing special. We were all too full to have desert. Overall, it was a very good classic diner....just as the name says....

My wife and I have dinner here every couple of weeks. Food is great. Our most frequent dinner choices are, Cobb Salad and Wedge Salad with grilled shrimp.When not having a salad we also enjoy, the Chicken Cheese Steak and the Western Burger. We've tried many other dishes as well. All consistently good!The key to their success is their consistency and good service. Our favorite neighborhood spot!One word of caution: On January 1st the ownership changed hands. Hopefully they will still retain the same menu, waitstaff, and consistein quality.

This is the 5th year in a row that we have booked a dinner at the General Warren Inn while visiting the Bryn Mawr Hound Show. It's always fun, we are treated like old family, and the waitresses seem to remember us from year to year. In fact, I accidentally over tipped our waitress and she came after me to tell me of my mistake. Now that's just amazing!
