Pj's Table Top Southern Cuisine

I'm going to start by saying I know the owners personally, but I will not be biased in my review. The food is delicious! I love fried fish and Paula's fried fish is the bomb! My sister, the girls, and I came down to the restaurant for the first time. Theportions are huge for the price you pay...definitely worth it. We didn't have one complaint and the tea is better than Bush'sChicken's tea (and I love some Bush's tea...lol ...so that's saying something. The tea is her own special recipe packaged incute lil bottles with her grandbaby on the front which is the inspiration for the name of the tea (she calls her grandbaby Suga .

So good and fresh! Can just feel like love and care it was made with. And the teaide was to die for!!

I usually enjoy eating at this restaurant. I'm sad to say this last time I ate there, it was disgustingly SALTY! I ordered the 1 meat plate (Meatloaf)w/2 sides, I added another side and an extra piece of meatloaf. I believe the lady that took my order has aserious attitude! I'm guessing because she had to walk to the back two extra times. At any rate I was so excited and ready toeat! Only to be seriously let down! It tasted like she went back there and dumped a pound of salt on my green beans andmeatloaf! Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely love soul food! This certain employee destroyed my whole experience! If Ihad a dog I wouldn't have given the food to him either! Which was really upsetting. Especially knowing that I eat here often andit's always delicious. I give this recent eating experience a big fat 0!!!

This establishment is cozy, food is phenomenal! It's so hard choosing from their selected dishes. I originate from Mississippi, and PJ'S remind me of back home. No matter what food I pick I always order a gallon of their Teaide to go. If you're in theTemple area give them a try.

I 've been meaning to try this place for a while, and after going in with my wife, we were pleasantly surprised at how good the quality of their food was. The menu is straightforward and has you pick the entree and sides, with different plans (1 meat 2sides, 1 meat 3 sides, 2 meats, and so on). Signature dishes of soul food like collard greens, smoked ribs, fried chicken,fried fish, pork chops, and others are available. I tried the smoked ribs and they were to die for; so tender they were fallingoff the bones, juicy with a nice crust on the outside, and a smokey flavor that didn 't taste overwhelming and complemented therest. Their greens are great, homemade style and well seasoned. The portions are all quite generous too, we got the smallestones and we still had leftovers. Great price per portion ratio. The inside is warm and comfy, all chairs are cushioned and youcan sit back and relax while you enjoy your food; this said, the decorations inside could be a bit better. Service was great andthe owners were friendly. For beverages, their sweet tea is brewed by them too, and isn 't just some over sugary Lipton, but anice sweet tea with tones of lemon and honey, it 's more balanced than sweet tea you 'll find around, I didn 't get tired ofdrinking it. Goes perfectly with the food. Overall this is a great soul food place to go if you 're in Temple. It 's a bithidden, but don 't let it go under your radar. Give 'em a chance and they won 't disappoint.
