Bacon Breakfast Burrito
Dustin B.

I come here whenever I'm in the area. Today I got the bacon burrito. It's just eggs, bacon and cheese with a little potato. Salsa on the side. Simple, filling and well under ten bucks! Friendly service, clean bathrooms and surprisingly not very busy.

No.55 The East Coast on French roll combo - the bread was fresh and soft. Could have used more meats. Good overall.

CJ's a local gem that's been around for years. They offer hot and cold sandwiches, salads, breakfast, teriyaki, and more. A great spot for affordable breakfast and lunch. You can dine in or take out. I've been coming for a while and appreciate the kind and quick service. The dining area is clean with a few tables. I mainly get the sandwiches here, but the chicken soup and teriyaki bowls are also delicious. The bread options for the sandwiches and veggies are always fresh and prepared well. My current favorite sandwiches are the Trilogy, Chicken Salad Sandwich, Submarine, Gary's Slice, and The Club. They also offer a variety of cheeses and ingredients to add to your sandwiches. You can make it your way. I recently got the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo and was pleased with the chicken noodle soup. Flavorful broth without being too salty, with lots of shredded chicken and spiral noodles. It came very hot with crackers on the side. Upgrading the combo with a drink and chips makes for a tasty meal. Prices are fair and worth supporting this local spot. Lunchtime is the busiest (as with many places), but I haven't waited too long to place an order and receive my food. They also offer delivery (with a minimum order) and catering. There is parking in the small lot in the front. There is also an entrance behind the little plaza, where you'll find more parking if the front lot is filled. I've dropped my rating from five to four because I've noticed my last few sandwiches have been skimpy on meat. Hopefully, they can fill the sandwiches a little more on future visits.

I ordered the egg sandwich and unfortunately it was not good. The sandwich was small, not filled fully, and definitely didn't feel worth the price. When I ordered, the lady asked if I wanted everything in it and I said yes, but then she kept repeating "Are you sure you want the sprouts?" several times. I'm not sure why she kept asking, and I kept saying yes. When I looked at the menu behind me, the sandwich was listed at $8, but I was charged $10. For such a small sandwich, that extra cost made it feel even more disappointing. Sadly, between the size, quality, and price, I will not be going back.

Veggie Sandwich

I love the Yelp community precisely for this reason. I have driven by the complex CJ Deli is located for many years but have never seen it because it's pretty inconspicuous. I wouldn't have found it if it weren't for the great reviews I stumbled upon. I was craving a really good sandwich when it was raining last week, and decided to visit CJ Deli since it's nearby. I ordered a regular veggie sandwich on squaw bread with no cucumbers, a chicken and rice soup, and bottled water. The sandwich was spectacular. It tasted like real food. Nothing that's been frozen or has been sitting out for a while. It was all very fresh and tasty. I also appreciated that there was a bit of egg in the sandwich. I haven't come across a place that makes their veggie sandwich this way. The soup also tasted like it was made fresh for the day and nothing overly salty. They have hot sauce and other condiments at a table near where you pay. The staff were so sweet and they prepared everything so quickly. Inside was very clean and organized.

First time here for breakfast! Spoiler: It's as good as it is at lunch time! :) Service: Great, as always! Ambiance: Clean and friendly, as always! Ok, on to the important part! The burrito is a decent size, not mega, but not small either - this is perfect as the ingredients are all top notch! I ordered a ham and bacon, and there was plenty of both in the burrito along with some potato and some perfectly cooked egg - not overly scrambled like many places do, there was just the tiniest bit of running yolk in it which honestly added to it! The ham and bacon were both flavorful, and it was properly seasoned with a side of salsa. Honestly, give it a try, I thought it was great, and I bet you will also! :)

Small but mighty. Large menu should satisfy everyone!

It's hard to believe a small place like this can pack such a giant punch! Our sandwiches & breakfast burrito were well-made & delicious! We ordered the Bacon & Egg Breakfast Burrito, Cold Sandwich Tuna on Rye & Specialty Sandwich Club on a French roll. So fresh, so generous & so good! The menu selection is vast with Hot & Cold sandwiches, salads, soups, teriyaki etc. You could eat here for a year & not have the same thing twice. Take your time to look over the menu as there's a lot to see. There are some tables if you'd like to stay & eat but they do a bustling Take - Out business as well. Very friendly service & pretty fast too but the meal doesn't looked rushed or slapped together. It's made with pride. The very definition of hole in the wall but that's the charm.

Local gem in an otherwise unassuming strip mall, CJ Deli offers sandwiches, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, and teriyaki bowls. Fast serving, friendly people, very popular as a lunch or to-go stop. The breakfast burritos and teriyaki bowls are cooked fresh and served hotter than the sun. It makes it taste right off the grill but beware of burning yourself. Sandwiches are also fresh and packed with ingredients. Prices are also very reasonable and no wonder it's so popular around here.

I order the turkey and added cheese. They use fresh ingredients and the bread was soft. Such a delicious sandwich.

Razor thin roast beef, none in the sandwich end. Not worth anywhere near $10.75.

I've had the pastrami, French dip, and meatball, all of which were great. The French rolls they use are high quality, same with the meat, and they don't skimp on portions. After tax, they come out to $17-18 if I'm not mistaken, and given the price of the chain sandwich places and the quality of ingredients they offer, I think it's great value. Staff is also very welcoming and easy to deal with. Definitely worth a try!

They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

Every time I've been in, the servers have always been polite and friendly, and even when they're busy, everything seems to move along pretty quickly. It's a very nice modern space where you can drink if you want or sit on the patio and enjoy the sun, even busy it's not too loud which is nice. The sandwiches are consistently fresh, filling, and really well made. Their Beef Dip is wonderful, it has tender roast beef, melted cheese, and the au jus makes it an easy recommendation. But my personal favorite is the Turkey Club. The turkey, bacon, Swiss, and fresh bread are already a great combination, but you absolutely have to get their orange sweet and sour sauce with it. That sauce takes the sandwich to another level. Honestly, the sauce alone is delicious and is one of the things that keeps me coming back. Great food, friendly service, and an easy, reliable place to grab a really good sandwich. Definitely deserving of five stars!

This place is fantastic for when you want great food at decent prices for what you get. They have a ton of choices from lunch, sandwiches, to dinner options.

You can also select one of the special limited seasonal options too which I will certainly be back for. I ordered the classic steamed snap Chicago dog, fries and a Thai Tea. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. Food came out super fast and fresh. If you're looking for a great place to sit down, relax and have a great hot dog. This is a place to try out. You definitely won't regret it.

Now mind you that's over the Brazilian Steak House and Wood Ranch I had offered. We hadn't been to Mustards in (shut) 15 years? I was worried the quality was still there. I was! And boy did they grow up. They've blown out the menu the inclusion plethora of item other than hot dogs! The BBQ ribs I had were more than acceptable. Not Wood Ranch or Sweet Lou's but enjoyable! My son said his Chicago Dogs were still second to none and my wife got a hamburger that she claims was 'OK', and my daughter in law got a chicken sandwich she really liked. So overall it was a success. You can't rate the service because there is none. You order at a window, pick it up when ready from said window, and clean up after yourself ... unless you're a jerk. I do recommend them still. New owners clearly (apparently Asian) but the were very sweet and friendly. Lots of smiles.

Now I have the antipasto salad and I will be honest it was OK nothing extraordinary, but what I did not enjoy were the olive pits that were still in the olives that was not fun. Thankfully, I did take my time when eating my salad and was cautious when approaching the olives as I have had an unfortunate experience that cracked my tooth due to an olive in a salad before. So that's a huge negative for me on the antipasto salad. The price point is pretty decent, the food was good, but to say that I would drive all the way back out to grab a sandwich here would probably not happen, but I'd only come out here if I was in the area. Places clean, prices, Repair, and the workers were kind of to that I am grateful.
