    Will never go back! I went to CJ’s in about 2019 and was very lovely. Wonderful experience. Realized hadn’t tried in a long while and decide to go for dinner. WHAT HAPPENED! Decorated like a fish market. Plastic laminated menus and plastic cups. Servers wearing ball caps and waitress acted like she could care less. Food awful. Never again!!

    We had a 6:30 pm reservation. We were seated at our table by the host. Then we looked over the menu and were ready to order. And no one came to the table to provide water or ask us about drinks. Then a waitress, Nicole, saw us waiting and waiting and waiting and rushed over to see if anyone was taking care of us which we said no one was. She got us waters and took our orders. If it wasn't for Nicole we probably would have gotten up and left. That happened to another couple we observed and it seems they got tired of waiting and left. We ate the salmon BLT which was VERY good. The homemade potato chips and coleslaw was great too. Nicole really stepped up to the plate and our service was saved due to her. Maybe you should give her a raise or bonus. Food very good with a nice atmosphere.

    The food was terrible, I was shocked given the 5 star reviews. Three of us couldn’t finish our meals, the salad looked, smelled and tasted like it had been in the refrigerator well past its expiration date. The sauce on the pasta could have come from a can. The bread used on the sandwich was cheap burned toast. We are not picky eaters but this was awful.

    Service was great, but the food was probably the worst we’ve ever eaten. Drinks were meh. Won’t be returning.

    We booked a reservation early for Thanksgiving lunch. We got the waterside table we wanted and the Turkey dinner was unexpectedly excellent. I was hesitant to get it - but it was really good. I would highly recommend it for next year! We had lots of food leftover and the dessert was quite delicious too. It was a perfect afternoon and we really enjoyed it.

    Great place for anyone with a food allergy. We had a severe dairy allergy and a gluten allergy in our party of 6. Waitress was fantastic at explaining everything. I was a little disappointed Ted that they don’t have dedicated fryers so there is a chance if cross contamination with the fries. But otherwise it was all well done and no issues with those with an allergy.
