We go to CJ Mugg's at least once a year. There is a cozy vibe here and the food is excellent if you're looking for casual dining. Plenty of space and their staff are top notch.
November 2025
Got new ownership the past few years and they've seemed to put money into place. They've updated the menu as well. Overall it still has a great vibe and decent prices. The food is good and the staff has always been great no matter who we get. The staff turnover seems much lower than many restaurants. It has become one of our regular go to restaurants over the years.

I’m pretty sure I was still at cj Mugg’s after my first vodka and soda. This spot has great food and drinks and the staff is the finest in town. Olivia might be my favorite but they’re all pretty top shelf and saucy too.
