    Burger and fries, raw onion, lettuce, and tomato
    Rose A.

    9/20/24 CJ's is a local venue with wonderful food, service and atmosphere. It's a bit off the beaten path in a shopping center, but as a result, there is always plenty of parking. Tonight I chose to have the filet mignon with a green peppercorn sauce that could not have been prepared more perfectly. I ordered it medium rare and it was tender and very flavorful. They served it with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed zucchini, green and yellow. I enjoyed every bite . Hubby chose to have a burger again. He enjoyed it as much as he enjoyed the Monday night special Burger night where you can order one burger and get another half price. Keep that in your repertoire for Monday nights as many of the local places are not open on a Monday night. Our Server Lynn made sure that we had everything we needed and she has a very delightful personality! Don't wait to come and try CJ's for yourself.

    We come here every year after we cut down our tree at the tree farms and we always have a wonderful experience. The wait staff is so nice and accommodating and the food never disappoints. It's tucked away in a shopping center but don't bypass this hidden gem. This trip, we just did some drinks and appetizers and it was fabulous. We had the nachos with chicken and the bang bang shrimp and my daughter had the kids chicken fingers. The nachos were piled high with so much chicken and toppings! Delicious as always. I had a bourbon Mule and a pumpkin beer and both were awesome. Can't wait to go back!

    For the past decade CJs has been our "go to" establishment for many family gatherings, celebrations and date nights. We are grateful for their genuine staff, quality food and family friendly atmosphere. Always a great evening!

    Came here on a trip out East today. The restaurant has a very "homey" vibe. Diners were watching the football game and workers were very nice. I ordered simple chicken and fingers and fries (with seasoning) and my husband ordered the CJ burger. Both were very good! My entree came with pickles which NEVER happens - huge plus! The seasoning on my fries reminded me of a delicious wing place by me and it was very good, but there was a little too much seasoning for my liking. My husband enjoyed his burger. CJ's has a very extensive menu and I will make an effort to try a nice steak (they have great variety) the next time I am in the area.

    Going above and beyond for the community!! Such a blessing.

    This was our second time visiting there. Cute and quaint place in an interesting location because…read moreyou're in a residential area. I ordered the vegetable panini and it was delicious. There was a hair in it (I've worked in a restaurant before so I was extremely understanding about that). I sent it back for a new one and they took it off the bill without me asking. My husband ordered the burger and he devoured it. The truffle fries are a must. Last time they had a better more varied beer selection. This time they only had one IPA on tap but it was good. Overall a great experience and I'd come back again!

    I really want to give this restaurant a 4 or 5 but the service lacked today. My wife had called to…read moreconfirm if we needed a reservation for two and she was told no and that they would ensure us we had a table. Once we got there; with our luck, the restaurant was full and we had to wait a few mins because their system was down. Which is understandable. As we wait, the couple after us had made reservations for 2 and their table was ready. First impressions matter to me and there is no reason for inconsistency when it comes to reservations. Finally, after a few more mins, they found us a table. Once we sat, and we ordered some water, they decided to moves us again to another table. Now im bothered but I didn't want that to ruin my night. The waitress took our order for drinks and food. The whisky sour was ok and our wait for food began. The couple next to us had their appetizers and main entrees served before we even got our appetizers. I understand it may have been busy, but everyone around was getting there food quicker, lack of attention. We finally got our entrees and the dishes were ok. My duck was cooked perfectly but my wife's dish lacked some flavor. She had to be careful because the fish had fish bones and we had thought they had taken those out. As we waited for the food I noticed that the owner was walking around and greeting the customers and finding out how the food was. I believe that every owner should follow this man's footsteps because he was very attentive to all and I feel that he turned our experience around for the better. Once we finished, he asked us about the food and what brought us there. Conversation with him was great and easy. We mentioned to him that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and he surprised us with a dessert and coffee. This dessert was incredible and his sweet gesture made the experience so much better. I hope to return one day and give them another chance. I would say try this restaurant and make sure you make reservations because the restaurant is always full.

Last year I saw that they had a lobster roll special for $19.99. Add a soda for $1. The Windermere odd a beautiful place to go and enjoy lunch or dinner and some live music on the weekend. They have outdoor dining with plenty of umbrellas if you choose, or go out onto the sprawling lawn and relax in a Adirondack chair by a fire pit and enjoy the surroundings, and the waterfront. We had a lovely table and a great waiter with personality. Michael H was a lot of fun to chat with during our lunch. He insisted on me mentioning his awesome hair ! He took great care of our table and provided great conversation. We were a part of 5 and we each ordered the lobster roll warm. You could get cold too. The lobster rolls were really delicious and generous and a great deal for $19.99!!!! It came with no sides so we ordered the onion rings which were perfectly crisp and stacked on a tall skewer. We also ordered fries as well and most importantly, a round of there very delicious martinis and a gin/tonic. Our day at the infante was perfect, michael the waiter was great (shout out again) and the lobster rolls are the best deal around! I highly recommend going there and seeing for yourself!

    Redemption! I always…read moretry to keep an open mind when visiting a restaurant, especially if it's new. Well, I'm happy to say this one has matured very well. Just walking in, we were warmly greeted, then quickly seated. This place is "picnic style", so you're given menus at your table, but order at the counter (I personally like that vibe). Anyway, we ordered their 1/4 pound, five-meat sampler (pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, a competition-style rib and a whole smoked sausage) and they converted me. Everything was nothing short of awesome. Both the pork and chicken were juicy and tender, the brisket this time around was smoked to succulent perfection and the rib was nothing short of excellent (not 'fall off the bone", but with that perfect competition "pull" that really won me over). The sausage I learned was locally sourced and a great compliment to the platter. Enough for two with small appetites to share. The sauce is still in small cups, but as I was told, there had been so much waste left on empty plates, that they had no choice to serve it that way, and I get that. Restaurants run on very thin margins these days. I had the spicy version again and really enjoyed it. Add in some live music played by a couple of good ole boys and since my first visit 9 months ago, this place has turned into a legit Long Island BBQ joint and will now be part of my usual rotation. I still think the hush puppies could have used a few seconds less in the fryer, but the flavor profile was spot on as was the corn fritters. But we left happy and full...I'm glad I was able to get back and try it again. Plenty of parking, all cards and a very laid back experience. Great for families or a stop by while cruising the north fork of Long Island. It's a gotta-go in my opinion. Nicely done!

Everything was delicious. The smoke flavor was just right and the meat was so tender. The service was friendly and that really makes a difference. After May of 2025 they will have a full bar. There is plenty of parking and a ramp if needed. There's a bar and an eating area. There's also an outside area that looks like it is pet friendly. This is a very nice place. I wish we lived closer.
