‘GOING AND GROWING’ TJ’s is Freeport’s place for comfort food

February 24th, 2011

Hidden away in a strip-mall-style, metal building in Freeport, there is a checker-board-floor gem of a restaurant named TJ’s Table.

Reminiscent of diners from a bygone era, this native-owned nugget serves a fresh and varied menu of comfort foods.

“everything is homemade, the potato salad, sweet potato fries, fried pickles…,” TJ Chancey said.

The little touches like bread-and-butter pickles on the hand-patted burgers and the high-quality produce used for dishes like the oriental salad have helped to spread the word for the dine-in treasure. Specialties include the Freeport Philly, the Country Club and fresh seafood offerings, as well as all-you-can-eat ribs on the weekends.

“We started out as a soup/sandwich/salad shop in June ’08, with two crocks, two coffee pots, two small grills and seven tables,” the proprietor said.

“it has all been due to the support of the community; they keep us going and growing,” Chancey said as she wiped off tables left over from a brisk lunch rush.

Although they are not a coastal business, she said they have been affected by the “BP thing, with so many people losing their jobs.”

“Through the tough times, I’ve been able to survive, and I’m not going to tell you it doesn’t get scary,” she added. “You just got to go day-by-day.”

Chancey attributes much of their success to the service.

“We get to know our customers on a personal level, because we live by the support of our repeat and word-of-mouth customers,” Chancey said.

Wanting to give back and “incorporate” the community she serves, TJ promotes the town of Freeport within the décor, by taking pictures of businesses, old home sites, bridges and buildings. the familiar sites, captured in black and white photographs intermingle with friends’ primary-colored antique vehicles, which line the walls next to classic film and musician posters and other mid-20th century memorabilia.

In addition to daily specials, the family-friendly restaurant broadcasts football on game nights, offers breakfast buffets on the weekends and sets up a $7-a-dozen oyster bar on Friday and Saturday nights.

Interested in having TJ’s Table cater or host your next event, call 850-880-6353. Or stop by 113 County Road 20, right across from Freeport City Hall.
