I frequent TJ’s quite a bit. One of the better breakfast spots in Fort St John. Great breakfast menu, the jalapeño cheddar smokies are the best! TJ’s also has a great lunch menu. The soup always homemade. Always a fantastic dash option for those in a bit of a hurry. The fries are the best in town! If you haven’t stopped in here, I strongly suggest you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

As a visitor to FSJ from Vancouver Island I can’t speak highly enough of TJs. The place was packed with locals and is clearly a loved establishment. Service was warm and welcoming and the food was incredible. If you’re in FSJ or passing through you have to stop here.

Outstanding service, friendly staff, VERY reasonable pricing, great coffee, and delicious food! The restaurant is also cozy and very clean. Bonus points for having baloney on the menu, and an option to sub a burger patty for potatoes for only 2 bucks!

Good food, great service. The outdoor dining is really relaxing next to the highway surprisingly. The only thing I wish was different has to do with the sandwich i got, some sort of chicken sandwich. I woulda loved if the beast was flattened to actually cover the whole bun, but it was good either way.

Customer service was amazing. And the staff were super friendly. The only reason I did not give them a 5 star reviews was their lack of covid protocol. While eating there I saw multiple customers come in without masks and nothing was said, tables were close together, vaccine passports were not checked And the cooking staff in the back did not have their noses covered in their masks. I wanted to love this place but during a pandemic I just did not feel comfortable there. Maybe Ill eat here again once covid has gone away cause as stated before the staff were polite and had wonderful customer service but at this time I just do not feel safe eating there.

Recommended by our RV camp host, so we stopped by at 1430 to learn they close at 1500. Most places would have turned us away, but the two waitresses were more than kind and gladly seated us and took our orders. Im traveling with a Service Dog, so when visiting a new place, my wife always asks if the staff/manager have any issues with him being with me before I come in. Yes, by law I cant be denied entry, but why make a scene? Good news, he was more than welcomed and in fact according to the ladies, he was the first Service Dog who had been in the restaurant. Food was good and the price more than reasonable. Had we more time, we would stop by for their breakfast.

the food is really good when they get it right but the kitchen staff is more worried about there next cigarette then doing the food properly.. I went there this morning and I got a skillet which all the food should come hot and the hashbrowns cook to a golden brown.. instead I end up with cold veggies cold ham and soggy hashbrowns which had to be redone by the amazing waitress we had!!
