“ Food is always great. Best wings. They're quite large and are always cooked to perfection. Service is fantastic. Like many places, I tend to have better food service when I'm seated at a table than when I'm seated at the bar, usually because the bartender gets busy. ”

“ Hideaway fries, wings, Reuben and fish are our favorites. Used to go there a lot but moved away. Still stop when we have a chance. Bar type atmosphere but the food is worth it. ”

“ Out on the country roads you feel like you're back home where you belong--generous portions and friendly service and bumping into people you know...and meeting new folks cuz we're all Butler County bred and raised! ”

“ Ate here tonight for the 1st time , place was packed- yet wait wasn't long and service was great, Our waitress was so nice. We had seafood entrees for Lenten Friday the food was really good. We will definitely be back to try the other dishes we saw coming out the kitchen door. We had fried fish, tuna steak, battered shrimp and the fried mushrooms- everything was so good!! ( will def be trying the onion rings and pretzel we saw- and I will be getting the mushrooms every time I come back probably..!) ”

“ TJ's has because one of favorite local places to visit. The atmosphere, service, food, & convenience is outstanding. We'll back several more times during Lent for their incredible Infamous Fish Sandwich. ”

“ First time here, despite seeing the sign many times in the past. Wanted to try something different and this was the choice. I didn't know what to expect. As I pulled up I was amazed at how large the place was, I was expecting a tiny place. The parking lot was packed, but I still was able to find a spot easily. My only negative in this review is the hostess stand experience. The hostess stand is really close to the door, so as soon as you open it bam there it is. There isn't really any place to wait. The hostess tonight was MIA more than she was there. I walked in to find 6 people squished by the stand. Nobody there. Then a young lady comes and takes 4 to be seated and then takes two more. So now I'm at the hostess stand and have people squeezing in behind me to be inside and close the door. Anyway I stand there for 5-10 minutes with nobody coming. I see the young lady walk towards the stand, doesn't look to me or acknowledge me in any way. She puts her head down and grabs menus and walks away to apparently grab a large party. I would have expected a greeting and perhaps "I'll be with you in a moment." Not just ignoring us. Finally she comes over and just stands there staring at us, no hello. So I start by saying two please. It was odd, no greeting at all. So we get seated, the place is packed. It took a little while for a server to come, but I can see they are busy. Server was friendly and attentive. I asked for what she would recommend and she said the fish sandwich is a favorite of many people, so fish it is. My buddy ordered a blue cheeseburger. We both added a cup of chili. Server was attentive with the drinks. We waited for maybe 15 minutes and asked if our chili would come with the sandwiches or could we get it before as is normal as a starter. She stated the kitchen is slammed but we would most definitely get it before the food. Probably two minutes later we had our chili. The chili had a good taste but was cold. We both agreed maybe it was served and sitting in the back that's why it was cold. Very quickly our sandwiches came. The fish sandwich was enormous and came with a ton of fries. I really enjoyed the fish and it was piping hot. I'm not a fan of fries but these were decent. My buddy was very pleased his burger. The bill came and we were pleased with that as well. All the food was affordable/inexpensive. We were surprised the beer was as inexpensive as it was. After paying our bill we agreed we would be back. ”

“ One might say this place has a dive bar restaurant vibe to it. However the quality of the food says anything but dive bar. I ate here with a party of 4, and everyone's food was scratch-made. We had 2 (hand battered) fried fish sandwiches, a grilled chicken salad (with actual greens and veggies), and a panko breaded chicken sandwich for our entrees. We also had potato skins and fried mozzarella moons. As I said, everything was handmade so the freshness and flavor was there for sure. Granted, these aren't difficult dishes to prepare but I applaud a restaurant bar that goes the extra mile to make fresh food instead of relying on frozen food and cheap ingredients (such as iceberg lettuce). The service was good also despite being a Friday night between 5:45 - 7pm. Our waitress had numerous tables including an 8 top. Kudos to her. All-in-all, if you're looking for good bar food in a very casual atmosphere then give this place a try. ”

“ How did we stay away so long! We had a friend, Bonnie W., who suggested we stop at this hideaway on our way to Butler. WE FINALLY DID and did we ever enjoy it. TJ' s is just barely off Rt 528 just East of Evans City. Worth the trip if you live in Cranberry Twp or Butler. Extensive menu with anything you want from Chili to Prime rib on Weekends. We ordered too much but the variety is endless. I had the sausage sandwich with Peppers and onions. It tasted like the ones you get at the fair but with mounds of gooey cheese on a sub bun. I added a cup of their hot sausage chili and my wife ate half of it. So good and nothing like you have eaten before. My wife ordered the ultimate BLT which was loaded with bacon and red ripe tomatoes, served with a side of perfectly cooked and seasoned French fries. The fries were beyond the norm just like the chili. Awesome!!!! When we were looking over the menu for what we would order next time, we couldn't refrain from ordering the JUMBO wings with the sweet Thai chili sauce. Yum! Took half of those home. Oh, by the way , we had an excellent waitress named Tiffany. She greeted us on entrance and enthusiastically went over the items on the menu with us. Wow, what a meal. My wife can't wait to go back on the weekends for the Prime Rib! And I just can't wait to go back!!!! ”

“ Visited TJ's Hideaway with another couple for dinner on 8/23/2022. The service staff was prompt and friendly and our three Buffalo Chicken Salads were very fresh and large portioned. The other person ordered a hamburger and said it was great also. We recently visited three breweries in Butler County and they paled by comparison to the quality of the food we got at TJ's and the lower cost. Thanks - we will be back! ”
