Cj's Pizza And Pasta - Rhinebeck

My buddy and I walk weekly at a local state park then have lunch at CJ's. The food has really never been great but we enjoyed the waitresses who worked there. The last three times we were there the experience was horrible. The place is being run very poorly. The very last time we were there they had no waitress and the food was barely mediocre. Not recommended at all. We just went to Pete's Famous and had an outstanding lunch for comparable price.

We stopped here for a quick dinner with the kiddos and was pleasantly surprised by the value and quality of the food we got. Our waitress was Kristine and she was nice and quick. We were seated right away and the restaurant is kid friendly with a doodle sheet and kids menu. We were served with bread and soft butter for the table shortly after seating. The kids menu came with a drink and ice cream and prices ranged between $4-8. We ordered Mac n cheese and speghetti and meatballs for the kids. The apple juice that came with the meal was a nice size cup, not those small kids cups. The dishes were also big enough to have leftovers. The Mac n cheese is ziti with a white cream sauce, not the Craft box Mac n cheese. My kid liked it. As for the speghetti and meatballs, the meatballs were the big size meatballs, so it was plenty for my daughter. For entrees, we ordered White clam sauce with fettuccine and calamari with spicy marinara sauce. They came with soup or salad. The food was decent, but nothing to rave about... 3 stars for the food, but overall experience and value earned this place another star. Nice place for a family meal (with plenty of leftovers) that won't break your bank!

I honestly don't understand the low reviews here. I've been coming to Cj's since I was a kid myself and now I enjoy taking my own kids here. You don't get glitz, glam or fancy foods. What you do get is great food at a reasonable price in a non stuff atmosphere, cold beer and we've always had very personable servers! Go to foods here are pizza with (chicken, eggplant, RRP) calamari, wings, fried ravioli and bread sticks with cheese.

Always a good choice for pizza or chicken parm sandwich ! Last time I was in William was tossing a pizza in the air ... He has the skills for it too! prices are reasonable too .

We've been a few times now and we love it. Our food has always been great and the service is great as well. Keep in mind this is not a fast in and out place. I love it because when you order an appetizer you can enjoy it without having your meal brought out two minutes after the appetizer arrives. This reminds of going out to eat with my folks when I was younger. It's not a herd you in and herd you out kind of place. You can actually sit and enjoy your meal and the company your with. They have a great selection of food and every item we've ordered has been great. The one time there was a minor issue the manager came over right away and apologized. She then took the item off our bill which I was not expecting. They value their customers
