Great for breakfast on your way out of town just before the 101. Has a definite fifties feel which I love. Food and portions are good as well as the coffee. Recently remodeled. Just feels so comfortable. More

We wanted a nice, quick meal before going to the Clark Center. We waited for at least 15 min for our order to be taken. Another party left because they couldn't wait any longer. They obviously were understaffed for a Sat night. Food was ok but nothing special. More

CJs has become a family favorite for breakfast since we moved here several years ago. We frequently bring visiting friends and family. Weekends are busy. Plan on a short wait. The staff is friendly, and the service good. The menu offers plenty of choices. Pricing is average for the area. The building could use an update as it has seen... More

After sleepng in late on Sat, my wife and I searched for some breakfast and found this wonderful diner. It was around half full at 11am with mostly locals (always a good sign). Quick service with a smile. Full page of breakfast items served all day long. I really liked their breakfast burrito (ask for extra salsa). And my cup... More

Had the lunch special; food was good and the portion was large. My bill was around $10, so I think that is worth mentioning. Staff was very nice and professional. Very clean restaurant and bathroom. Nice diner and I will visit again. Wish they were open late nights and had fresh pies, but they don't. More

As others have stated, you can get breakfast here all day so we find it to be a great place to go to when we can't agree on what we want to eat. I love their breakfast burrito. It's too much to eat at one sitting so I have two meals for the price of one. Be sure to get... More

CJ's is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner and you can get breakfast any time of day. The menu is consistently tasty and presented well - almost too much to eat at one time. Their location on Grand Avenue offers easy access from Pismo, Arroyo Grande and is just West of 101. By far, the best part about... More

CJ's is a great family restaurant where you can know you will get a good meal for a good price. The selection is varied and breakfast is served all day. We have stopped in just before closing and still received quality fresh food and did not feel rushed to leave. We have had large family group meals and they accomodated... More
