It’s Not Too Late For TJ’s Christmas Take Out
We are still taking Christmas take out orders until Mon Dec 21! See menu below.
Christmas Lobster Sale
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: We just got the market price for lobster. We can offer a CHRISTMAS LOBSTER SALE! Lobster only 15.99/lb all Christmas week! Advance orders only. If you already placed an order you will get that price.
“1/2” Beef Tenderloins
If you are buying a whole beef tenderloin, and are worried that you don’t have enough beef, we will have “1/2” tenderloins that we can add to your order. The “1/2” tenderloins will be priced like whole tenderloins (usually they are more per lb if you don’t get the whole tender).
Quicker Lines This Year
We hope everyone noticed shorter waits at Thanksgiving this year. We think lines will move faster for Christmas, too. We don’t want you to wait in line any more than you do, we assure you.
Tj’s will have two registers set up, one for cash transactions only.
If you are getting a seared & seasoned tenderloin, it will be fine if you pick up on Wednesday for Christmas Eve. Avoid the Thursday rush!
If you are getting something frozen like a baked brie, shrimp & lobster enchiladas or lobster tails, or stocking stuffers like Praline Mustard Glaze, come get them this week or on Monday or Tuesday. Avoid the lines altogether!
Please note: Wednesday & Thursday, we may not be able to do time-intensive tasks like oysters on the half shell or RAW peeled & deveined shrimp if you did not order in advance.
For those that arrive at 10am trying beat the line, that is one of the most crowded times of the day. Everyone has the same idea as you! If you don’t need your food early, we think you’ll have a shorter wait later in the day.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!
