T J's Cafe

My wife and I stopped in to grab a bite while we waited for our tour at the Axe Murder house. This place did not disappoint. I felt at home. The people in Villisca are really friendly, the waitress was super nice and the prices vs. Quality of food...AMAZING!!! It's tough to find a place that has BOTH great prices AND great food but TJ's pulled it off. We will definitely be going back! Thanks!

Food prices are super reasonable. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the horrible smell of grease. When we sat down at the bar and asked for the menu the waitress acted like she was offened and made us get our own menu off one of the tables. The food came out quickly, Food tasted ok especially for the reasonable price. The tenderloin was missing the bun. The waitress never checked on us to see if we needed anything. Overall, the service was horrible.

Great food, fast service, very reasonable prices & very nice staff! Thank you JC for dinner & taking me here again! My husband had a very tasty cheeseburger & fries to go, he really enjoyed! I will definitely be visiting TJ's Cafe again!

The Staff that was there, Cassie and Tony, made you feel like you were just part of the family. If we get down that way again we will definitely be stopping back in. The food was excellent, and the prices were low! When go there make sure your hungry, cause you will definitely get full, without emptying your wallet.

Best PattyMelt I have ever eaten! Clean quaint and friendly staff!

Stopped in here with a friend after touring the Axe Murder House a few streets down. I'm sure they get lots of tourists in here that come to tour the supposed haunted house. The quaint little town was a bit spooky but the diner was great and the food was tasty. Love small-town restaurants. They had an open kitchen concept so I could watch the guy making my Philly steak sandwich. Yummy!

Waitress was friendly and the omelets were amazing

Delicious, clean, prompt and friendly service! We stopped after a basketball game on a Saturday. We enjoyed the henhouse burger and BBQ bacon cheeseburger; and of course cherry pie! We recommend you stop in to this clean small town cafe!

The food was good, as always, but the waitress dropped a bun on the floor, then put it back on the plate. When she was called on it, she denied it, saying we could check the video. Two of our party witnessed this, but she still said it never happened. I suggest you watch carefully when your food is served.

After a long overnight at the Villisca Axe Murder House my two friends and I were in serious need of coffee and a warm breakfast. We found just that at TJ's Cafe. The moment we entered the cafe we were given a friendly greeting and fast service.
We ordered from the breakfast menu, all of which was delicious. Their coffee is great, especially straight black. The prices are very affordable and the portions are just right.
The atmosphere makes for a unique experience. The wood paneled walls are covered with patterns made of mirrors as well as fun, vintage signs. Our waitress was very friendly and made plenty of jokes, making our morning all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this little cafe!
