A couple miles off of 485 is AJ‘s restaurant. It’s delicious. It’s good value for your money and the service was incredible. Don’t get distracted by all the chain crap on the way here. Stay the course and read the rewards. The hummus appetizer was delicious, creamy (and homemade!) the Gyro sandwich, and bacon, egg and cheese bagel were both delicious and the milkshake (only $3) was great! Overall a very, very good spot you won’t be disappointed just go.

Potatoes were too soft and mushy. The food was just alright.
The omelet was very large and will fill you up.

I love the employees and the staff here. Very friendly. Always greeted when we enter the facility. We go out to our workout. My son used to get the kids meal cheeseburger and now he got up to the double cheeseburger so he loves their cheeseburgers and the people know his name. So all we got to do is call in and be like this is Ricky and they know our order. So overall I love this place and the employees that work here. The food is good too

If I could give MORE stars, I would. My wife and I stumbled across this gem of a diner. We wanted to try some place new for dinner and AJ Family Restaurant, did not disappoint. This place is not flashy on the inside or outside, but it's very clean and comfortable.
Now let's talk about the menu... there's something for everyone. There are Greek items, as well as American fare. My wife and I shared the stuffed grape leaves for an appetizer and it was delicious. For our main course, she had the Athena Chicken Wrap. It looked amazing and I'm kicking myself for not stealing a bite. My dish was the Flounder and Calabash. All I can say is WOW, that was really good. Yes, it was fried, but not greasy. The fries were crisp and the cole slaw was great. At this point, I was stuffed to capacity. However, a fat man finds a way to eat dessert. My wife and I shared the banana pudding. It was a mixture of banana bread, banana pudding, sliced bananas and topped with whipped cream.
Now let's discuss the price. Our bill was $45. The value here is top notch. As for the service.... perfect!!!!!
Whoever owns and runs this place, you are doing an amazing job. We look forward to coming back for dinner as well as trying out your breakfast.

It’s a nice place and they have good food. Fortunately, they do put a little bit of salt in their grits when they cook it, which is extremely healthy and releases enzymes to the heart and brain and it’s hard to find a restaurant that will cook grits that are seasoned with salt and butter, which is healthy unless you have a kidney problem. The only way to go never use raw salt. That’s what I like about them. I wish they would use more salt in their grits.
