CJ's Last Chance Diner

Had been a little while since I was able to stop by CJs last chance diner, and it's still delicious !

Really good burgers...

Last Friday, we came by to rent a storage unit and ended up staying for a late lunch at CJ's. What a hidden gem in north Chico! It's no frills counter service, with a large dining room, and open kitchen. I appreciate being able to see the clean kitchen & prep area with my own eyes. I ordered a grilled chicken salad - it was huge, overflowing with tons of fresh toppings. The staff was hustling through a rush, and yet they were all so attentive and nice. CJ's is a Pepsi establishment, which makes my Diet Coke loving heart a little sad... but the food more than makes up for it. Now I need to time my storage unit runs around lunch hour so I can work my way through the menu! A burger will be next :)

Nice place great food

Decent food, very friendly staff. They have a few seats outside, plenty of seating inside. You order at the counter and they will bring it to you. On the front of their menu it indicates that the prices are different than the prices in the menu if you use a credit card, but it doesn't indicate how much the difference is and/or what the credit card fees are.

The place is really nice and they are very kind. The pulled pork wrap is awesome.
↑ this is from my 9 year old food snob son. ?

I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my other son got a cowboy burger. We shared fries and French toast.

Everything was excellent. The staff/owner are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. I love the atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Price is very generous and surprisingly affordable. The portion is big. Food quality is very high. They put love in their food. I really appreciate that.

I used to own successful restaurants and Cafes in a bigger city. I've eaten in many restaurants all over the world.
That being said I give CJs two thumbs up.

Now this is my favorite restaurant in the nor cal. I don't know why I didn't find this place earlier.

The burgers were great! If McDonald's is going to be the same price nowadays as somewhere else but fancier I mind as well go somewhere else now and support my local private restaurant business. No more happy meals, just a sad meal. Parking was great also, plenty of parking, easy parking, safe parking right in front of the restaurant.
