Editorial Review for Traffic Jam & Snug Restaurant – by Jane Slaughter
In Short
Innovations over the years have included a bakery, a brewery and a dairy, all on the premises. The crowd is as eclectic as the menu, with before- and after-theater business a mainstay. Menu items range from interesting versions of the old standards--mashed potatoes with pumpkin, meat loaf with curry, white cheddar macaroni and cheese--to what are becoming new standards, including an outstanding dried cherry/pecan salad and a goat cheese on greens with garlic yogurt vinaigrette.

I've been a semi-regular at the Traffic Jam for about 3 years now and have only had good overall experiences. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed and the wait staff has also been a pleasure. Sometimes the food takes a little while, but I have yet to be dissapointed by the taste. Their menu is unique and big enough to find something you'll like. I'll admit that it's nothing fancy, but the food is good, hearty, sticks to your ribs cookin' that's great after a hard day at work or for a lazy afternoon lunch.
Pros: service, parking, food, ambience
Cons: occasional waiting for food

I have tried hard to overlook to downhill slide in the food. Last Wed. was my last visit to TJ's. The potato soup was like something served in prison.Lox was hard and old, the "spread" was watered down sour cream that would not stick to crackers. I did enjoy the 2 strawberries on the plate. The stuffed potato was burned and embarrassingly small. But the biggest disappointment was the Carlotta. The small plate was mostly covered with ice cream with freezing cold sauce!!!! Trying to save money is losing you the most valuable asset you have, the customers. Sorry to see you go.
Pros: free parking
Cons: food
