Ordered to-go so can't speak on the service or atmosphere, but the food was very bad. I got the fried snapper and fries. Fries were undercooked and soggy, which is forgivable imo, but the fish was rubbery and had an awful texture, and it tasted OLD. I'm not even convinced it was actually snapper. More like a fishy tasting mystery meat.

The food is good, but they only take cash which is sometimes cumbersome. You can't go in on a whim.

Down home spot with excellent BBQ. Mac and cheese is best ever. Ox Tail was on point. Cabbage was spot on!

The food is horrible! The sides aren't tasty and they serve the sides in dipping sauce cups.

I recently visited CJ’S and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The customer service was absolutely top-notch—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our visit enjoyable.
The BBQ itself was out of this world! Food had so much flavor, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The smoked meats were perfectly cooked.. I especially loved the ribs.. so good

The atmosphere was laid-back and inviting ..I also appreciated the great selection of sides and sauces that complemented the main dishes perfectly.

All in all, CJ’S is a must-visit for BBQ lovers. I can’t wait to go back for another delicious meal. Highly recommend!

Best Bar B Que Sauce I ever tasted- because that so they gave me on an order of beef ribs today. Broke my heart….. smallest sides EVER as Well. I had CJS in vallejo many years ago and had a bad experience. Worse experience today at the Richmond location. Teri butters off potato salad- three bites of baked beans- I posit thirty dollars for two pieces of bread and bbq sauce. Literally four small bites total in four huge BEEF ribs… absolutely hurt my feelings. Their mic sampler HIT … but these rib have scared me straight!

I'm so disappointed I pick this place to eat for my birthday I wasted my money nothing was good good people horrible cooks

The ribs are definitely a hit! Sauce is perfect, meat easy to eat (not fall off the bone) but that’s okay. I just didn’t like the portion sizes of my sides, they’re really small. And also, I could tell the cornbread was made the day before. But other than that, everything is good

If you haven’t ate here, you are definitely missing out. I really didn’t know what to get, but they were so helpful from start to finish from being on the phone to coming inside and my food was just so fresh and so good I recommend not I’m not one to leave a review but I had to come leave a review for this one
