Find Your Tee Jaye's

REAL. GOOD. FOOD.

Down Home Cookin’ at its Best! That’s how Tee Jaye’s Country Place began and that’s how our restaurants are operated today. Ever since 1970 when the first Tee Jaye’s restaurant was opened, our aim has been to provide the very best in down-home cookin’ at reasonable prices and served by warm and friendly people.

Tee Jaye’s is a family-owned, family-operated, home-style cooking restaurant with eight locations to serve you in Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding area. All of our locations are open 24 hours a day*, except for Sunday, when we close at 11:00 p.m.

We only buy the freshest ingredients and the best products in order to provide our customers with the kind of meal that Grandma used to make when family came to visit. We have so many stick-to-your-ribs items on our menu, one bite and you’ll keep on coming back for more!

Tee Jaye’s Country Place Restaurants Company History

Tee Jaye’s Country Place is a family-owned, family-operated company that believes every business starts with certain basic principles: a belief in who we are… what we represent … how we conduct business … and how we feel about our customers and employees.

When our founders, Jules and Nita Sokol, opened their first restaurant, in September 1970, they wanted it to be an extension of their family and home. A friendly, folksy, warm place in which their customers could relax and feel just plain good. They also wanted to serve the kind of meals they grew up with – home made and with generous portions!

They had a dream about a restaurant that had real “down home” food, served up in a place that’s just like home. They put all of that together and Tee Jaye’s Country Place became a reality!
