En route to Princeton University, we got a little hungry and decided to explore this place. I liked their slogan, "We are not only about breakfast" which was imprinted on the T-shirts of their staff. We ordered French toast with strawberries and coffee. It is a quaint little place where one can while away time while eating to their heart's... More

After seeing the advertizing of the new store in West Windsor, we decided to try the Princeton store. It was so small and LOUD.. The person at the door directed us to a booth.. a bus person brought glasses, flatware and napkins and dropped them on the table. We waited and waited..finally a server, not our server, asked if we... More

I don't know why this place is so popular. Food was not good and place is nothing to write home about. They must be resting on their laurels or else, as with all real estate "location, location, location." Go somewhere else. This place is a disappointment.

A pleasant enough place, appropriately appointed to appeal to decades of college students looking for alternatives to eating in on campus cafeterias. The place appears to be without AC and so was over warm on a day when temps were in the 80's. The food was little different than what appears on the menu at every Denny's and Johnny Rockets.... More

This is the breakfast place! I have been going to breakfast here since i was a little kid and still love what they have. The cost is excellent and the portions are huge. I have never left unsatisfied. PJ's is right on the main street in Princeton and incredibly easy to walk or drive to. Not the easiest place to... More

Ive lived in the area all of my life so I am disappointed that I waited so long to try it! The pancakes are amazing. They are pricey especially if you want a topping but they are really good. Their hash browns are different. Kind of like a brown mashed potato with peppers and onions (I ordered without them) but... More

We were in town to visit Princeton University. What a great find! Great service, awesome omelette, very friendly. While a bit crowded, it was definitely worth squishing into our booth. Can't wait to return to PJ's to try more things on the menu.

We were a group of 14 and decided to have lunch there at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon. They were able to accommodate all of us even though they were still busy. The food was very good, breakfast all day long and service was friendly. Highly recommend stopping here.
