Absolutely delicious! The meals are prepared just like you'd make at home, and as soon as you walk in, the friendly staff welcomes you. You never have to wait long for your meal, and you always leave feeling full. The owners are fantastic, making sure you have a great time no matter how many people you're with. It's a well-rounded spot for tasty food and great company. This is definitely one of my top ten diners, and... View all feedback.

What Calvin Gibson dislikes about CJ's Diner:
The main thing that stood out about this small diner was the gap between price and food quality. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere friendly. But almost $20 for small, ordinary sandwiches with unspectacular side dishes overshadowed the excellent interpersonal skills of our server. Maybe the breakfast dishes are a better choice, because the place seems to be pretty popular. View all feedback.

If you're a fan of a cozy, home-style breakfast, this is the spot for you. The food was outstanding, and our waitress, Arrow, provided exceptional service, just like the rest of the staff. She was very friendly and charming. It was my first visit, but it won't be my last—I will definitely be back. Thank you, Arrow, for your wonderful service. Rick and Tawnya.
