I’m not usually much of a breakfast person, but CJ’s Kitchen & Grille completely changed that for me. Somehow I managed to finish my entire meal because it was just that good. I ordered the andouille sausage with scrambled eggs and hash browns and was really impressed with how flavorful everything was. It did come with a pastry underneath, which ended up getting a little soggy and wasn’t my favorite part, but it was still fine overall. The beignets were absolutely to die for and definitely something I’d order again. My friend got the corned beef with a fried egg and hash browns and she really enjoyed hers as well. The only downside was that I wish the outside looked a bit more welcoming as it does on the inside with all the portraits of people! There were also quite a few flies around while we were there but it didn’t really stop me from enjoying my meal, rather just annoying. That said, the food and service were both very good and made the visit worthwhile and I would happily come back again!
You ever wonder about places that are only open for a few hours, have a loyal customer base, and seem to have been around forever? This is one of those enigmatic places. My father, who's ancient, told me that this place used to be a late night spot, but now it's only open until 2pm for breakfast/lunch. It's worth it to drag yourself out of bed on the weekends or to sneak away from work during the week to make it to this place. The waitresses act like they've known you forever, the food is surprisingly complex in flavor, and the prices are more than reasonable for what you get. Their fried shrimp is butterflied and panko breaded, making them super crispy. One of my favorite fried shrimp in the area. The standout star of my meal was their special...the pot roast on mashed potatoes. I expected something standard and hearty, but not special. I was wrong. It was something worthy of high-end dining. There was a green and floral element from the peppercorn sauce unctiously coating the tender meat that melted in my mouth. I'm sure I heard angels singing. I'm so glad the waitress convinced me to get the special that day because it's now one of my most memorable meals. The beignets were a bit thicker than I'm used to, but they're vehicles for powdered sugar, so I can't complain. The atmosphere is simple - lots of painted portraits on the walls, clean, and very diner-like. I know people go nuts over the Coffee Cup, but I think CJ's deserves just as much hype. Don't come in here dragging a giant party of people. It's cozy and best for a 2-3 person dining experience. It gets a bit cramped at 4+.
We loved this place. Kids raved about it for years and we finally made it. Service was great, food was great. Cozy breakfast and lunch diner. Highly recommend. We will definitely go again.
