Many people think that you have to be born and raised in Vero Beach to truly feel like family in our amazingly awesome small town. As we grow and become not so small, just being friendly and taking care of our local restaurants and their servers and bartenders is super important. I devoured a lovely two egg breakfast with hashbrowns and biscuits today at CJ Cannon 's. It arrive fast, hot and fresh and you can't get that many places anymore. My first server was Kenya and then Gene came in and I can tell you that at no point did I have to ask or want for anything! We typically have lunch or dinner here and the food is always consistent and delicious. Bring your smile and come in and meet one of the best establishments and staff in the Vero Beach area. read more

Cute spot located inside the Vero Beach Airport. The service was excellent--welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Everything we ordered tasted good, though the creamed spinach was a bit bland on its own. A little salt and hot sauce brought the flavors out nicely. The restaurant has a full bar and plenty of seating. Vegetarian options are somewhat limited, but they do offer salads and a veggie burger. One of the highlights is the view--depending on where you're seated, you can watch planes arrive and depart while you dine, which adds a fun touch while eating. read more

This place was great. Didn't expect a restaurant at this airport. First time flying out and I love that it had a place with good food. Decorated with old pictures tried to transport you back in time. I love it. Breakfast was amazing. read more

C.J. Cannon's - Country Fried Steak. Hashbrowns Eggs and a muffin and buscuit. - American Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Had lunch there a couple of weeks ago.We will never go back! I had the cod sandwich and it was so ugly and tasted the same as it looked. My partner had the French dip which he always likes and same thing. We went at a time we thought it would not be crowded and it wasn't. Their acoustics are not good and even with only a few people in there, it seems to have it's own unpleasant noise. Approximately $40 with tax and tip for 2 really lousy sandwiches. Even though we were the only ones not yet served, it still took them nearly a half hour to bring the "food". And I say that with generosity. When I asked the waitress if the cod sandwich was good (like she's gonna say no_) she says she sold 3 today. Huh? That's not what I asked. But OK, a lot of people can't/won't answer a direct question anyway. Never again. Never! read more

The food and service is phenomenal! Love the ambience and highly recommend. Can't wait to go back. I had the clam strips with two sides...delicious! read more

Went to this place at the airport. Sat down right away by LaDonna. She was fabulous. Greeted us right away. Came to the table several times. I ordered just a chicken sandwich and some appetizers. Beer was cold. Food prices were reasonable. Loved the atmosphere. Very clean. read more

Great old Florida style restaurant. Neat small bar with an old timey decor everywhere. Excellent diner style breakfast menu. I had the half blueberry glazed waffle with whipped cream and amazing jumbo sweet fresh blueberries, delicious. Will come back for a drink in their quaint bar. read more

Excellent service and food Love the aviation decor Ambiance is great We always come for brunch read more

Ate there several times. High quality food and generous portions. Has my 5 star approval. I had the pulled pork and had trouble finishing it. Plus you get to see the planes taking off. read more

My family and I had a great first visit to C.J. Cannon's! We got seated immediately on a very busy Saturday brunch time. Our waitress was super helpful and gave great suggestions. We got seated right by the big window so we got to watch the planes take off throughout our meal. Everyone loved their food and thought it was delicious. All around no complaints on our experience here! We will definitely be back to try lunch and dinner. read more

C.J. Cannon's - Breakfast casserole - American Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Aviation themed restaurant located at the municipal airport, which was pretty cool, watching the planes take off on the back patio & eating out here was cool. Service was great, breakfast only on Sunday's, but what a great menu. Wife had breakfast casserole & I had taco bowl breakfast, both were delicious. Bloody Mary's are great & the beer is ice cold. You should stop in and say hi if you're in the area. read more

Always have a good experience at CJ Cannon's! CJ's has a large menu, but I've never had anything I didn't enjoy. I'm a beer lover, and they have some local brews on tap which are almost always great. I usually sit at the bar, and so I enjoy chatting with folks there as well. One thing to note -- CJ's is a local's place. I understand it's adjacent to an airport, but that airport didn't always have commercial flights, and the flights they did have, were far and few between. With the addition of Breeze and its popularity (of which CJ's didn't necessarily ask for), it's added a strain of sorts. People with bags, no good place to put those bags, people that just want to hang out in open areas (when there aren't many areas conducive to hanging out), and the travelers being otherwise not understanding to it being a locals place that the locals love. You can understand how this is frustrating on both sides. read more

My flight landed early so I went inside CJ Cannon's while I waited for my husband. I ordered the rib eye steak sandwich and it was enormous and absolutely delicious! The service was great, at least 3 people asked if I needed anything. I saved half for my better half :) read more

Love this place and the people. Pat, Chuck and Tammy are absolute kindness legends. Smiling, greeting, welcoming and making everything right for what can be a bunch of surly demanding folks.The food is consistent and spot on delish. The steak salad is so good. The patty melt, I occasionally think about. This restaurant is run with a heart the size of Texas and it shows. Love you all read more

Good restaurant for lunch....wait staff a bit slow. I am adding words to get to 85 characters.

I love CJ Cannons. I love the diversity of the menu, the comfort food, the tavern type decor/ambiance and the servers. the food is very good and the prices are reasonable. read more

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Loved it big time! Gene, who ran the lounge was awesome! A true professional. H knows how to cater to customers who are regulars versus drop ins like I was. A real class act. I had such a good time at the bar eating and drinking prior to my flight home. Pure class, great food and excellent service! Vero Beach is a headache free flight with a great landing spot! Thank you, Jeff Richards read more

I ate lunch here good bar good food. Solid recommendation we got sandwiches and drinks and I got a drink to

10/10 Cj Cannons is our new favorite spot in Vero, the menu has something for everyone, Rachelle was warm and welcoming, and impressively thoughtful. The burger, Philly, meatloaf, grouper fingers, and pot roast were cooked to perfection. Watching the airplanes while having delicious food was a fun family date night. We can't wait to come back and visit again! read more

We recently stopped into CJ Cannon's while waiting for my husband, who had business at the adjacent terminal. We figured the lounge area would be a comfortable place to sit for a short time. However, our experience was unexpectedly unpleasant. Despite sitting quietly and not disturbing anyone, we were told by the owner that we couldn't stay unless we ordered food. We were informed this is "not a waiting area," and were asked to leave even though the restaurant was still open for another 15 minutes. The tone and approach felt unnecessarily harsh and unwelcoming. As a place connected to a public airport, a little hospitality--especially toward those simply waiting calmly for their loved ones--goes a long way. Unfortunately, that wasn't what we encountered here. read more

Outstanding food and service!!! The fastest, seated lunch that my family has ever had! Highly Recommend!!! read more

Had been craving for Prime Rib and it was my 60th BD, so wife wanted to take me out. it was 3:30pm so this was only choice out of two that I can find in VB. The extensive menu was a red flag but as I mentioned, this was only one of two in town that has Prime Rib. The experience was not too bad. Just the food was so elementary. started with the Hamburger, promised Medium and it came well done. Grilled Blackened Prime Rib was quite tough to chew. Wife's Grouper was somewhat decent though the fish is questionable to be grouper. Anyhow, it's unlikely I would ever repeat. :-( read more

This is one of those places "I been meanin' to go." Because it's at a small airport, I wondered if it would be like so many airport coffee shops at which I've eaten: heart-burn-burgers and stale fries. Not so. The restaurant has a warm and comfortable decor; it has a tasteful and pleasant ambiance. Naturally its theme is aviation. The menu has all the things I like- salads, burgers, Reuben, French dip, steaks, fish, and pot roast. I ordered a chef salad over pot roast, because they also have my favorite salad dressing (French) which is not available in most restaurants. All of us enjoyed our meal. It was a treat. Our server was Tracy, a vivacious, bubbly, red head who delivered extraordinary service. We will return. read more

Walking into CH cannons is like time traveling back to a simpler time. The decor is nostalgic, and such a vibe. The hostess at the entrance was so sweet she offered my nephews lollipops and wished my mom a happy birthday, I later found out she is the owner. Now the food let's get to the real reason we were here, the food. I had a HUGE chili cheese beef hot dog with fries. I had to take more than half to go because I couldn't handle how big it was. For the table we had an order of crispy cheese mozzarella sticks, and the crowd stopper classic potato skins. I almost forgot the best part is you have a perfect view of the runway and get to watch planes taking off. read more

The acoustics are very loud. Can't hardly have a normal conversation. The broccoli was over seasoned. The snapper was not a fresh filet and was very over cooked. I hate to leave a poor review but I just can't recommend. read more

1 Star - Unacceptable Service. We were ignored and bypassed on the waitlist five times. ​My husband and I attempted to dine at CJ Cannon's tonight. We arrived between 6:15 and 6:30 PM, and there was a wait, which was fine. We gave the hostess our name and sat down in the waiting area. ​We initially noticed four couples who arrived after us being seated. My husband checked the list and saw our name had been scratched off! He told the hostess, who assured him we would be seated shortly. The owner, Pat, was also up front but was busy chatting with a customer and seemed completely unaware as we were bypassed a fifth time by another couple. ​To be completely ignored and skipped five times was frustrating and unacceptable. We walked out and immediately went to Tuohys in downtown Vero Beach, where we were seated right away and had a wonderful dinner. ​I was extremely hungry and after such a blatant failure of customer service, we won't be back. read more

They put us by the window well you couldn't see out because of the construction. So forget about looking at airplanes. The service was good no problem. I had a steak sandwich and it was like eating a shoe, tough and tasteless. My wife had a fish sandwich that she couldn't eat because the fish was not fresh by any means. I've eaten there before and it was very good but I won't be back . read more

I will start by saying the food was good. However it does not excuse the classist behavior by the owner which was not only antiquated but frankly offensive. We came here from Los Angeles for my aunt's bday. I am used to wait times. And fancy restaurants with queues. This was a special event. My aunt's bday for which I flew my entire family. We came promptly at 6am and were as well behaved as could be with 4 hungry tired children. The hostess, who was presumed to be the owner by locals, delayed our seating again and again with these ridiculous excuses, clearly trying to pressure us to leave. Shame. read more

Omg what a hidden gem!! It has been several years since we've been here and it hasn't changed. It is one of the best deals with great quality. They give you cornbread and biscuits which both were delicious, it is hard for me to decide which one I liked better. I ordered the prime rib 8 oz which was huge and cooked perfectly. It came with two sides I got the Mac and cheese and creamed spinach. I will definitely order the creamed spinach again, it tasted like it was from a steak house! I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. Also they give you dessert included in your entree purchase! What a great deal. The place feels like it is bringing you back in time. It is located at the airport which is very very small. Highly recommend! read more

Surprisingly great diner type restaurant right in the airport. I was super happy with the food, service and decor, which felt charmingly old school. The burger and patty melt were really good. I'd actually recommend coming here even if you're not flying - it's that good. read more

I've eaten at CJs around 10 times now, I've tried the hamburger, hotdog, French dip, burrito, French toast, typical breakfast, and now their prime rib. I've never had a bad meal here. But this review is really for their prime rib I had tonight, it was really out of this world good. Super tender with the perfect amount of juices, full of flavor and really really enjoyable paired with the mashed potatoes. This place has old school vibes with a great view, the host and server were extremely nice and got me seated quickly. I would be more than happy to recommend and can't wait to return. read more

Very good food, great service, and ambience, especially at a great price! Being from the Midwest, I like the supper club feel... Not a bad seat in the house read more

I can't review the food because we were not even allowed to sit. They wouldn't allow us to take our carry ons with us so we had to leave them by the door. Unattended. At an airport. When asked, the hostess said she wouldn't watch them. I believe her words were "no, we're not associated with the airport." We decided to take our chances because we were really thirsty and wanted to watch a little March Madness. We went in to the lounge as directed and asked the bartender for a table since we couldn't sit at the bar. He directed us to the back of the lounge where the same hostess seemed to be waiting for us. So, we asked for a table for a drink, something to eat and a place to watch a game. She literally told us that she didn't know how to work the remote and she didn't think the bartender had one. In a room with a bunch of TVs that were already on! She then went to the bartender with her back to us. We heard her make a few derogatory remarks and shake her head as if she didn't want us there. At that point, I realized that we weren't welcome and we left. In all my years of traveling, I've never had such a poor experience at a restaurant in an airport. The excuse that you're not associated with the airport is ridiculous. If you don't want to be associated, then go rent a space that's not in the same building as a small airport. Anyone looking for a place to go in the Vero Beach airport, consider taking a taxi somewhere. Anywhere. Travelers don't seem to be welcome here. read more

Was very pleasantly surprised !arrived early for my flight and stopped in for a quick bite , this restaurant was very cozy and welcoming. The service was very nice and quick .

We flew in from another airport in our plane just for lunch at CJ's. It was fantastic! Tracey was our waitress and she made us feel so welcome and enjoyed us sharing our Youtube channel with her. We will be back very soon!! Well worth us flying 1.5 hours to eat lunch there. read more
