C & J's Family Restaurant

I’m giving only 2 start because honestly not at all worth what it costs to eat here. For a family restaurant with a mediocre menu the price is outrageous. I feel for all of the small businesses and especially the small town restaurants but come on let’s be reasonable, $10 for a side Caesar salad?? What?! $3 for a Lipton tea bag? I happily support our local businesses but no I will not be back to this one. Also you may want to consider updating the prices on your menu before you update them in your POS. That seems a little backwards to me, customers should know what they are actually paying.

My meal was good, but my sister got the auce ribs & they came so dry that she couldn't eat. She had me try & you couldn't chew or swallow because so dry. Told the waiter & he asked if he could bring her something else. So she got the fish, but that ended up being soggy & she gave up because they were so busy she didn't want to wait any longer. I got the fish & mine was prepared perfectly, but I did ask for it to be crunchy. My loaded baked potatoe was delicious & hers was hard. Both our green beans turned out good. I felt so bad for my sis because this place has never let me down. I told her it might have been because it was the all you can eat night so they were extra busy. We both noticed after on both of our checks we got charged an extra 2.00 but it didn't say what for & then an added .4% added when we paid. There was a sign about the .4% but didn't read or see anywhere explaining the 2.00 extra & we forgot to ask when we paid because it took them so long to come check us out.

Great Mom & Pop restaurant with great food, specialty dishes, including their signature burger, which I dare anyone to finish! I tried and only got halfway through it. But don't think I left that delicious burger sitting there, I took it home and ate it again the next day after reheating in airfryer! Plus I took home a full homemade peanut butter pie that was also delicious!! Definitely a great place to eat.....

Stopped here on Labor Day as literally no other sit down restaurants were open for breakfast. Was hesitant based on the overall review score. The cinnamon roll was one of the best I’ve had in the area -surprisingly for a small diner they’re usually either dried out and stale or taste like GFS premade rolls. These were excellent! Highly recommend trying one or getting one to go. The breakfast was comparable to other small diners in the area. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive even with how busy it was and our food did not take long to come out. I’d definitely stop by here again when I am in the area even just for a cinnamon roll.

Parking: The parking lot is partially paved. When it is busy, there is extended dirt lot parking. You would be able to get a trailer in if needed.

Food was ok, but priced a bit high for what it is. Was unpleasantly surprised by the 4% "admin fee" as well.

Appreciate the outdoor seating.
