Tj’s Italian American Restaurant

Good meal at a good price. Good service and friendly people. Just what we needed on a rainy night.

Food is just okay. This is a very popular Italian restaurant in town. I probably could cook better at home. The pizzas and sandwiches are decent.

Clean, friendly and good food. This is worth the time to visit when traveling thru. It’s a good break from all the chain restaurants in the area. Nice family run Italian restaurant.

For what it is this place is awesome. This is a very small city, an this rest almost serves as a pit stop bite to eat. Pizza was hot with fresh toppings and beer was cold! If I ever was in the area again I would stop by. Oh btw, sever was very friendly as well.

Hate to leave bad reviews on family owned places. Ordered a sampler appetizer of fried cauliflower, mushrooms, cheese sticks. Did not like any except cheese sticks. Seemed little expensive for what it was. Ordered pizza and it was pretty good. Thin crust and tasty.

Please save yourself the trouble!!!
Let me start out by saying I am not a high maintenance diner. I have eaten at many small town restaurants before and have had fantastic home cooked meals and a great dining experience. This is NOT one of those places…
I will give them this, they are friendly and tried to fix the disaster I will detail… but some things cannot be fixed…
For an appetizer «platter» consisting of what was supposed to be fried cauliflower, mushrooms, and cheese sticks… we were charged $ 6 for 8 pieces of food… that’s right 2 mozzarella sticks, 3 mushrooms, and 3 pieces of cauliflower…
The main course was worse. I had what was supposed to be homemade lasagna that tasted like under-​cooked noodles with chef boyardee meat sauce poured over the top. That was supposedly $ 11. A guest with me wanted to get only a half order after she was promised huge portions of food if you bought the regular, and her half order turned out to be less than a half a square of lasagna. It was pathetic. And the manager tried to excuse it poorly by announcing it was all pre-portioned…if so, their chef needs desperate training…
Please please do not chance it. You know a restaurant is bad when you hear from a local person that the only two places they would eat are Cracker Barrel and Golden Coral…
The highlight of the night had to be when our waitress refilled my cup of soda with another cup of soda… it is anyone’s guess if that had been someone else’s drink or not…
Overall, we excepted Garden Ramsey to pop out and tell us we were on Kitchen Nightmares…

Conveniently located off the freeway about a mile. Clean, friendly, and the best pizza I have ever had in a long time. Thin crust, sauce just right not to rich, flavor just right. Thick cheese, fresh vegetables, ham, and pepperoni made an excellent combination of flavor. Reasonably priced. We highly recommend a visit.

MMM. How to describe this? If you like pasta from a can taste for a higher price, this is your place.

The *only* choice for pizza or Italian in Cordele. TJ’s salad is a great deal, tell them BB sent you — they will put some extra blue cheese crumbles and tomatoes on it for you. Pizza is nice and thin up there with some of the other top pizza spots in SWGA. Worth a short ride off the highway vs the regular chains.
