    Truffle Fries
    Roberta B.

    We arrived at CJ Blacks at 5:30 on a Friday night. Parking was simple and we were seated immediately. Nicole served us and she was very attentive. We started off with a pretzel as an appetizer. It was enough for a party of 8. It came in a pizza box with marinara sauce and cheese. We had the pretzel with mustard. It was very good. My friend and I had wings.and truffle fries. I thought they were really tasty. My other friend tried the Shrimp Cobb Salad. We all had to get to go boxes because we couldn't finish the ample portions. But we did have room for dessert. Since it was my friend's birthday, Nicole lit a candle on the Bread pudding with gelato. We made a good dent in this excellent dish. The restaurant was decorated for St. Patrick's Day. They had live music which added to the festive atmosphere.

    My in-laws rave about the grouper sandwich from here so I'm glad I finally got to experience it for myself. Came for lunch on a weekday afternoon but luckily missed the midday lunch rush. I'm told this place is packed at lunch and dinner time. Service was lovely, everyone was very kind and helpful. Food did not disappoint. The menu shows that CJ Blacks has a lot to offer. My father-in-law decided to shake things up by testing out the sushi and said that it was pretty good. It's not better than an actual sushi place but he was surprised to enjoy the flavor of the sushi. My mother-in-law ordered the mahi sandwich, which she thoroughly enjoyed. My husband and I had the crunchy grouper and happy to say that it lives up to the hype! Delicious, hot, and crispy. The veggies on the sandwich were fresh and crisp. And we loved the animal sauce on the sandwich, we had to get three more sides of it. Serving sizes were pretty big so you'll definitely fill up. Inside is freezing though! Be warned, you should definitely bring a jacket. It was a rainy day out but we chose to sit outside because the temp inside was way too cold. Great experience overall.

    The place was welcoming, family friendly and a nice atmosphere. My waitress was attentive and wonderful. The interaction amongst other waitresses and waiters were very friendly and humorous. They dance, laughed and seem to really enjoy working at CJ Blacks. Sounded like live music but I didn't see anyone performing so I can't say 100 percent. The Drinks 0/10 I had 3 different alcoholic drinks and they all tasted like juice. The Food: 1 person had wings, another had the rib dinner and I had the ribeye dinner. Everyone said the food was good and tasty. The food took some time to arrive to the table. We ordered potato skins as an appetizer. The potato skins were actually good and a nice size but they were a bit sweet, which was unusual 8/10. My plate came with broccoli and mushrooms. My broccoli was cold and the mushrooms were warm. Everything was flavorful. Everyone said their food was good. My steak was very flavorful. I would definitely come back.

    It was very good. great ambience everyone enjoyed their lunch. Very friendly place. We got there at 2:30 so no problem getting a table. Looks like they're pretty slow and so they had only one server working all the tables. So Waited too long for waitress to make initial visit. And for our order to come it took a while never got any refills on our drinks or got any of the dishes picked up. No managers on site greating customers they could do much better minimum tip allowed 20% easy. Ambiance is great outdoor seating great parking overall.

    We were in the mood for some good BBQ ribs before going to a Pumpkin Patch farm/nursery to celebrate autumn and the beautiful Fall day outside yesterday. I checked Yelp and we decided on CJ Black's. Soon as we walked in, we knew we came to the right place because we could smell those good flavors cooking! I loved the country style decor with the wooden cabinets and shelving, country tables and booths, the hanging lantern lamps, the wooden flooring, and the industrial style open ceiling! I really felt like I was in for good Southern style cooking! We were really looking forward to our dinner! Our server was Michael, who was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. He confirmed their Ribs were awesome. We both ordered the same thing, ribs! Oh my goodness, they were the best I've tasted in a long time!! The BBQ sauce was amazing and there was plenty of it. The pork just melted off the bones! Each bite was accompanied by an "mmm" from both of us. The fries were crispy but soft in the middle, so good. Our meal was perfection. The Chef served us and was so much fun to chat with! Michael checked on us several times. Michael asked if we wanted dessert and mentioned how good their choc chip cookie was with vanilla Gelato, so we gave in to temptation and shared it. It was very good. We hadn't eaten since breakfast. We wouldn't need anything else after the ribs the rest of the night. We can't wait to return! Parking is outside the restaurant and is free. Handicap parking is right in front.

I love the orange blossom half beer on tap. It's the smoothest beer I think I've ever had. Also tried two new appetizers this time. The crispy Brussels sprouts which had a spicy sauce and a great dipping sauce on them. These Brussels are downright addicting! Then we also tried the margherita flatbread which came as a circular pizza shape and was delicious! You can tell these are made fresh to order as everything about it was flavorful. Can't wait to visit Yardhouse again soon!

    After a major disappointment finding out that Gabose Pocha was closed for renovations, we ended up…read moreat this Irish pub I used to visit years ago. When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.
