    Hot Polish Sausage & Eggs
    Kenneth S.

    We arrived at the perfect time for late breakfast/early lunch at CJ's. It was on 1-10-26 around 12pm and we were seated right away in a booth with no waiting. I ordered the polish sausage and egg breakfast which is always good along with the largest iced tea you will find. Our server was Monica and she is always nice, professional and great service to us. Everyone is there having a great meal and enjoying the food along with company. The staff is always great.

    Wings were horrible. Waste of money

    I eaten at CJ's before and never had an issue until today. I ordered the fried chicken wings and they were horrible. Taste like they were fried in old grease. The potatoes and corn was dry. Very disappointing.

    The whole 18$ meal

    CJ's use to be my go to spot!! I mean they had the best chicken sausage! On my last two visits,I noticed how they started thinning out the chicken sausage patties! So thin that it makes them tough and chewy! They were so thin you could see through them! So you use to get two thick healthy patties,nice presentation on the plate too! To these horrible little things! And when your charging these kind of prices,you have to make it make sense! That was my first turn off! Then #2 if you have a gluten allergy, they will absolutely not switch toast for a small bowl of any kind of fruit! Now how many request could you possibly be getting in the course of a day,for that particular request! Not accommodating at all!

    Hard to beat this place when you're craving some breakfast and fried chicken. Portions are generous. Staff is attentive. And their fresh juices are fantastic for a hangover.

    Chicken Sausage & Eggs

    Me and my wife ordered breakfast from this restaurant. My wife ordered the food through DoorDash app. I ordered the chicken sausage plate with eggs, potatoes and toast. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by staff. Staff were friendly and polite. We picked up the food when the food was ready. The chicken sausage was delicious and seasoned well. The eggs were cooked well but the potatoes needed a little more seasoning. The meal was filling and very reasonable. The ambiance is customer service friendly and the menu has some great choices.

    Catfish & Eggs
    Nia L.

    Came here after a funeral service and there was about 10-12 of us on a Sat approx 1-2pm. They were able to accommodate us, which was nice. There's a huge menu that includes Southern and Mexican dishes also Smoothies & Juices. Everyone pretty much ordered something different and all enjoyed their food. My husband got the Chilaquiles and I ordered the Catfish breakfast. The catfish was a bit thin and I've had better; but it was doable! The servers were really nice and handled our group just fine. The restaurant is in a strip mall and parking is kinda tight; but there is parking in the back. It's a cool diner feel that's larger! Yelp gives a 3, if there were half stars, I'd give a 3 1/2. If I'm in the area again, I'd return!!

    Came in today on a Saturday rainy morning. Why is it in LA that everyone comes out when it rains? LOL In any case, I went with my tried and true. No pics in this review as my dying cell failed me once again-but I did manage to get a shot of the receipt. Service, this time around (the whole crew chipped in as opposed to anyone individual) was spot on as usual. And as the receipt will reflect, you can't beat catfish, egg scrambled well, and tomatoes for what I paid in 2025 in Los Angeles California. Previous pictures in previous reviews pretty much reflect what I ordered. If you value consistency both in terms of level of service as well as quality food, they have it going on here!

    It was a Pork chop, scrambled eggs, grits, wheat toast and coffee

    Well, well, well let's just say it was so good I forgot to take a before picture! The seasonings were on point as though my Mom herself was in the kitchen! Everything was cooked to perfection and Griselda our waitress was very courteous and attentive! Thank you for the hospitality

    Loved this place ! Ate here while visiting LA and I truly enjoyed everything our table ordered. The grits were great (not pictured) & I love how they have fresh juice to choose from. Our service was very attentive and it's a great family atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again.

    Cj's cafe is located in midtown area in a large shopping center so Parking is simple to find The Ambiance when you get in is nothing special to be honest but you have a typical diner The service is pretty friendly they were very attentive and helpful as well The food I got the hard shell tacos because apparently that's what they are known for and man lemme tell you they are so addicting ! Kind of messy but so tasty ! The price point is low to medium but not bad overall check them out if your around the area

    Greek Omelette
    Mia O.

    I thought the atmosphere of this restaurant was very nice. There was a moderate level of noise with a lot of friendly chatter. I had five people in my party and the waitresses pushed together two tables for all of us. I got the Greek omelette with grits and toast. To be completely fair on my part, I think it tasted exactly how it should, I simply made a poor menu choice. The overall dish just didn't have much flavor, in my opinion.

    I felt like eating something light this morning

The list clearly favors organic and biodynamic producers, which I always appreciate--minimal intervention, letting the terroir and varietal speak without unnecessary manipulation. The flight format was flexible, offering around five selections with the option to choose three pours. I went with a sparkling red, an orange wine, and a white--each bringing its own personality to the table. The sparkling red was lively and slightly unconventional, the orange wine had that textured, skin-contact complexity, and the white rounded things out with a clean, expressive finish. Our server elevated the experience by guiding the tasting order, which made a noticeable difference in how each wine showed. It's always a good sign when the staff understands how to pace a flight rather than just drop it off and walk away. We didn't explore the food menu this time, so I can't speak to the full program, but purely from a wine perspective, it lands at a solid 4 stars for me. The space itself is ideal for a relaxed midday tasting--plenty of seating, with a great outdoor setup. The tall greenery creates a sense of privacy without feeling closed off, making it just as suitable for a casual date as it is for catching up with friends. Honestly, if you've got a flexible workday and don't need to be on camera, this is a pretty perfect spot to post up with a glass and ease into the afternoon.

Every slice I tried was loaded with melted cheese that actually tasted like something but it felt like it was missing flavor. I felt like 1/4 of the flavor was there and the rest was just crust. You could probably have a better experience than me. I had half and half of spicy pepperoni and supreme and nothing disappointed. The sauce has a nice, balanced tang, and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. It's the kind of pizza that feels like it was just pulled from the oven.

When I walked in, I went straight to the register and saw they already had slices ready for grab-and-go. I went ahead and ordered two BBQ chicken slices because I was starving already! The staff member who assisted me was very friendly. He let me know about the drink options they have and said the Arnold Palmer option is actually made in-house, which was pretty cool, so I went ahead and ordered it! I got a number, and they said they would bring my food to the table, which is pretty cool because I didn't have to stand around and wait lol. The inside was pretty packed, so thank God for outside seating! Lol. I got my order, and the pizza slices are so big, thin, and perfectly foldable, with a crispy crust and great flavor! I love how balanced each ingredient was. Nothing overpowered anything. Can't wait to come back and try other options!
