We stopped in for dinner, in the middle of the week, after a long day of hiking in the Smokies. We were the only people in the place until another couple came in about 1/2 way through our meal. This place is nothing fancy, 2 TV's showed weather channel hurricane disaster footage throughout our stay. The carpet is WAY overdue for a shampooing. While we were eating, someone from the kitchen rolled a disgustingly dirty garbage barrel through the dining room in front of us, and then came back through again after dumping it out somewhere. If you are looking for a dining experience worth remembering, go elsewhere.
We had burgers, so did the other diners at the next table. They were huge, but not great. I would have been happier with a smaller, better tasting burger. There is a lot of tacky artwork on the walls, all of which is marked for sale. Some of it has been there for years, judging by how faded it is. There are a lot of dining choices in Townsend, I would put this one on the end of the Go-To list.
The open faced roast beef was Awesome! Probably the best that I have had. The beef was tender and seasoned great. The gravy was tasty and just salty enough to be a great touch with the beef. I have driven past this place hundreds of times and this was the first time I has stopped. I got there after brunch and it smelled like a dream! I will definitely will make a trip back to try their breakfast. If you are in Townsend give it a shot.
Review Source:We came here for a breakfast buffet on our last day. The service was GREAT , the food on the buffet was good and forward , scramble eggs, beacon, sausage patties, gravy, biscuite , pancake, tater tot ,and some muffin. I just stick with eggs and beacon. It was good for a buffet but next time I will have to try the food off the menu.
Review Source:Pulling up to AJ's I had some reservation as the previous reviews were not great. Â The fact that our table had a fairly noticeable wobble to it did not dispel this impression. Â Contrary to the above, it turned out to be a great stop for us on our way to the Tuckleechee Caverns. Â Our waiter was quite friendly and the place was nearly empty. Â I stuck with their Big Joe burger and I have to admit I was genuinely surprised at the size of it for the price. Â For $8 that was a large enough sandwich that I had to take the fries, of which there was plenty, to go. Â I do not wish to counter the other reviews, but our family's experience was good and I would return if in the area again.
Review Source:We have eaten here on several occasions. Mostly we stop in for one of their big burgers....forget the name of it, but it's a guy's name. Generous portions and the waitresses try hard to do a good job here. Salads are actually pretty good. The sweet tea is sweet and good.
   The vegetable sides here are in general not very good, taste like they just dumped a can into a pan and heated them, so I don't recommend the pinto or green beans. The fried squash is good, the cole slaw is tasty, but the portion is very small. The baked potatoes are pretty good, no complaints with those.
   Do not order a steak here.....we were VERY disappointed tonight. We order ribeyes with a skewer of shrimp.....ordered them Medium, expecting some pink inside. They were dry, grey throughout, tough without flavor, and at least 30 % fat. We didn't finish them, took most of it home to feed the dog !!  An expensive lesson. We will go back to a steakhouse in future !!
   This is a very casual place, and good for a quick stop when you don't want to dress up to eat....I have not tried breakfast here, they apparently have a breakfast buffet until about 11 AM...... In the winter, there are few places to eat in Townsend, but in general I would recommend the Riverstone over this.
