I've never been a fan of TJ Ribs but would only go if others in the party wanted to. Went to lunch with the office group the other day and had my son with me. Ordered the kid's burger and was told they were sliders. No, it was 1/2 burger patty cut in half (1/4 patty) on a roll. Sucked.

I've always had a hard time finding something that I liked and usually settled for the buffalo chicken salad. So I went with that and now they've fuc'd up that. Used to be buffalo chicken nuggets that weren't too bad. This time it was a whole chicken breast (dry) buffalo style and cut up after frying. Must be cheaper to serve this way. Sucked.

I'll pass on TJ Ribs from now on.

Why didn't you eat any BBQ?

May be a controversial take but I still like their baby back ribs. That’s the only thing I ever get from TJs.

My dad said they used to serve beef ribs that were good.

Your dad is correct, and they still serve them. I would flip flop between the beef ribs and the baseball cut top sirloin, which is surprisingly good.

Had em twice. Overcooked both times.

Half chicken ain't too bad I guess. Not my first choice ever but it's by my house.

I agree the baby backs are still good. No, they aren’t really BBQ, but they’re good for fall off the bone style ribs. The wings are also good.

The place is past it’s prime and isn’t anything to write home about, but you can have a good meal there for sure.

All I’ve gotten for the past 6-8 years at TJ Ribs is wings. Still go for them. Sauce on the side …

I actually went by after a rough day at work a few weeks back and got the 2 meat combo with wings and brisket. The brisket was actually pretty damn good. I was surprised. The 2 beers were cold. I left pretty happy. They went downhill a couple years ago, but I believe they got new owners or at least a new head chef and switched some things up for the better.

TJ Ribs went to shite when they started their $0.50 margarita promotion. It has been a shithole every since.

They stopped doing this a couple years ago. They’d have a bunch of poor people who would take up bar spots and sip on 3-4 of those and leave $5. I remember asking about that a while back. They used to also do the AYCE and drink Wings/Beer special for monday night football. There were a few times I had 4-5 beers and 2 plates of wings back in the day. $30 after tip. 1 plate of wings and 1 large beer with tip is $30 today.

They are good, had an order Saturday with their beans, both solid. they forgot to put some sauce in my bag but the ribs were good as is.

The wings and baseball cut steak are both good options. I always get it to-go but I enjoy it.
