B J’s Family Restaurant

This is a typical place you would expect in a small town. The interior is rather aged, but is being updated. This has become our go to breakfast place, The menu is basic breakfast fare, with a buffet as well as ala carte menu. The staff is friendly and make sure that you have what you need. If you are passing through, this is much better than the fast food places right off of the exit.

This was a great little stop! We came by around 10am. My husband had the buffet and I had a breakfast plate. We both enjoyed our meals! I thought they had plenty of flavor. My chocolate milk was well worth it because it was a HUGE glass.
The only thing is I would have loved the option to pick biscuit or toast with my plate.
Very friendly and attentive workers!
We will stop by again

Wonderful little diner, worth the stop! We decided to chance it, knowing full well that the Mom and Pop diners are almost always a good bet for decent food. The waitress we had was attentive and friendly. They had a breakfast buffet on a Wednesday morning when we stopped in, which our son had. The food looked fresh and delicious. They served lunch food all the time, too, so my husband and I got cheeseburgers, which were done to perfection with a little crisp edge just like you’d hope for from a hot griddle at a diner. The garden on the burgers were also fresh and generous. The coffee was a pleasant surprise! It was remarkably good! The locals and staff were all friendly and welcoming, we felt like we had been coming their for years. So glad we stopped in.

The food was okay. Nothing spectacular and it reminded me a bit of leftovers I would find in my fridge. I don’t want to be horribly harsh being locally owned and all, but I would think more love and care would be put into cleanliness and quality. They also only accept cash which is not very realistic these days. My fiancé and I had to actually turn the car around to go to an ATM since we never have cash on us. If I remember correctly we paid about $ 25-​$ 30 just for the two of us which was too much.

We stopped for a quick, southern breakfast while traveling from Nashville to Chicago and we were pleasantly surprised! Great biscuits & gravy, bacon & sweet tea! Our waitress was helpful & attentive. We will definitely return on our text trip to Nashville! Delicious breakfast & friendly staff!

Wanted to give this place a three star because its a mom and pop but when I saw the layers of dust on the memorabilia I just couldn’t do it. Food was OK, I had the buffet. Wasn’t hot and lacked flavor. NO GRAVY! HOW CAN YOU SERVE COUNTRY STYLE FOOD WITH NO GRAVY! Staff was very friendly but never did a table check. Got a drink refill when they brought my check. They dont take credit or debit cards, cash or check only. In this day and age its too easy for a merchant to accept cards. Bananna pudding was really good. Buffet had breaded bone in pork chops that were tough, bland and cold. Also had fried chicken that was ok, nothing special, lacked seasoning.

flies, nasty bathrooms, food was almost inedible. wish I could give no stars. the only good thing about this place is we didn’t get food poisoning.

If you are looking for simple decent food at a decent price this is a good place to stop. This place has a breakfast and lunch buffet as well as a regular menu. Seems to be a locals favorite and they have a lot of regulars. I went for the steak & eggs since I was in a late breakfast mode.
Steak was pretty good. They also give you blackberry jam with the toast or biscuit — much better than the usual grape or mixed fruit jelly. For $ 7 it was pretty good. The coffee, while not the pretentious «gourmet» brew– wad pretty good as well.
Overall I would have to say I would come back here again.
Just a note, they do not take credit cards.

We ate here today as we were passing through and it was wonderful. The catfish was excellent!

This restaurant is nasty & bug infested. The man, Raymond, who runs the place is extremely rude. It doesn’t deserve a star, but you have to give at least one.

Just a little country place to eat. The only real complaint I have is that they don’t have gravy on the buffet for your potatoes and wish they excepted debit cards. Other then that no real complaints.

I found this little place quite by accident… I don’t eat at the ubiquitous «fast food» places so one evening I was starved & when I passed them & started running out of options, I happened upon this place. I have lived in LA for over 22 years & don’t get this kind of «home cookin’ style» food anywhere. It’s a small buffet but there’s plenty of incredibly delicious home cooked food always on the buffet. ALL of the food reminds me of home. I usually fly into Nashville & drive up to Kentucky to visit with family. I stop here every time I make that journey to/​from. It is as if «granny» is in the back cookin’ all this lovely food. This is TRUE southern cuisine. The staff treats you like part of their family & you will NOT leave unsatisfied. I don’t know where the other negative reviews came from but I’ve never experienced anything negative here. I LOVE this place & will continue to eat there & cannot recommend this place more highly if you’re looking for true, home cookin’ style southern cuisine. FIVE stars in my book.

the food is almost not edible. Dead, greasy stuff. also the LAST time I was there, there were bugs crawling up the walls. if you see one there are hundreds!!! people in PV do not know any better. NEVER EAT THERE!!! Unless you like food poisoning.

Good basic American diner. Had off the menu breakfast, even tho the Buffett was an option. Arrived super fast whole thing with coffee and tip under ten dollars. Fast friendly service, good food, great prices. Enuf said

Neat little dinner with good food and great service.

If you like the type of food they serve, it’s good. I don’t so… The wait staff is super nice! There is basically no décor. Don’t expect to much.

I guess this place is kind of a Pleasant View institution, but we can’t figure out why it’s so popular. Everything tastes like school cafeteria food. Most of the veggies look and taste like they came out of those huge institutional cans. The fried chicken was greasy, and there were mashed potatoes but no gravy. We’ve tried to eat there a couple of times, but had to give up on the place.

BJ’s is not a fancy eatery, but a simple buffet that also offers meat-​and-​2 veggies, as well as take out. They have the crispest chicken and banana pudding that is closer to homemade than anything around, and also have good cornbread hoecakes. The price is very cheap at $ 7.95 per person for all you can eat, including dessert. The gals who work there are very friendly. Try it — you’ll like it.

The food is pretty good, particularly the fried chicken served on a buffet. The restaurant appearance is dirty and dated.
