CJ's is the best breakfast around. The coffee is great, staff is friendly, and the food is outrageously good. One of the best omelettes I have ever had. The pancakes are fluffy & perfect. They serve fresh cups of butter and the cutest container of warm maple syrup. Not sure why anyone would go any where else. Everyone raves about grace and grits, in my opinion CJs is 100 times better. It's well worth the wait.

We order breakfast from here every Sat morning and it is so good. The Jersey sandwich and Monte Cristo are amazing. The honey bbq melt is to die for. Awesome fries. Always super fresh and good food. 10/10

The food quality has improved since what used to be the Lakeside diner. Now CJ's has taken over. The new management has also done. A very good job brightening up and remodeling much of the dining area. The service was spot on and as a breakfast and lunch spot, it's definitely a go to place and it was great to see one of the former servers Allie doing her thing
