I've reviewed CJ's before, and always favorably! As I still feel it's an amazing place to grab breakfast or lunch and I live that they're open til 4! For those late risers who crave breakfast later in the day. I wanted to focus this review on the staff! Cheers to them! I watch them hustle & throughout their day, move from one job or table to the next. Delivering platefuls of food & beverages always w: a smile. Very pleasant atmosphere indeed!! Whomever is in charge of hiring, hats off to you & the managers who train the staff ... you're really good at your job too! Hats off to all the people who make CJ's such a pleasant experience & why we keep coming back week after week! The servers, the kitchen staff and all the workers who make it fun & tasty to visit CJ's! read more

We were in Atlantic City with friends and they were raving about this restaurant. They have pancakes so we took the drive across the bridge and I must say it's a really interesting little restaurant not many tables but they have delicious pancakes. We had the oatmeal pancakes you get three pancakes for $14. You can't beat that price. They also had cinnamon bun pancakes. They said they were delicious and also banana mania which was also delicious and the coffee three dollars a cup. Wow this is a gem out-of-the-way but worth the drive if you're in the area or if you feel like taking a little drive on your way either to Atlantic City, New Jersey or from Atlantic City going towards Atlantic City New Jersey, it's definitely worth the stop indoor outdoor seating and counter seating but as I stated earlier, not a lot of seating no reservations we had to wait about 15 minutes. The service was excellent very personable young waitress who seemed really happy to be working there full of energy and full oven enthusiasm read more

Hands down, this is MY FAVORITE PLACE to EAT BREAKFAST ANY TIME of DAY!! The staff is soooo friendly, organized and spot on with service!! The food is next level breakfast or lunch. I am definitely a sweet breakfast lover! My latest favorite is called Bananarama. It is French toast made with thick bread, crumbled vanilla wafers, drizzled with banana pudding and caramel sauce!! Yup!! I'm not lying!! It's delicious!! You can sit at the counter or at a table and when the weather is nice, there's places outside to sit too! It's comfortable and reasonably priced for what you are receiving. A++++ read more

CJ's is that go to place for consistently delicious food. It's nice to know they serve breakfast all day along with their full lunch menu. If you go please get the home fries, they're amazing. Last time I got one of their specials, I believe it was caramel apple crumb pancakes or something like that and oh my, it was absolutely amazing!!! The staff is very sweet and attentive and the prices are good. Absolutely check it out! read more

Cj's Corner Grill - Caramel apple crumb pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

It's one of our two breakfast spots we frequent everytime in somers point. Get something that doesn't sound traditional and its phenomenal. Had the "Yellowstone" omelette today. Brisket, bbq sauce, Swiss cheese omelette with the best chip style potato home fries. Haven't been able to stop thinking about how good the brisket was. Also the pancakes are always crazy, get a stack and split them between a couple people, just to sample bc they have such variety and kill (in a good way) everything on the menu. Can't wait to come back for that brisket again! read more

What a great menu! Very interesting items along with traditional breakfast foods. The venue is small, but they have tables outside on warmer days. We sat outside and our service was great even though we were furthest from the door. read more

We were looking for a place for lunch on Sunday when our original place decided to close. Found this on Yelp, and the reviews were good and the menu looked great! Service was excellent, and my partner's roast beef sandwich was good. The accompanying chips were not. My salad (CJs salad) was ok, but the balsamic vinaigrette dressing was completely separated, and I couldn't pour it on my salad unless I wanted all oil. (Yes, I know salad dressings separate, so all they had to do was shake up the bottle and pour it right before bringing it out.) I had to ask for just balsamic vinegar so I could at least have something on my salad besides oil. Service was good, and it seemed like a popular place. Perhaps salads aren't their strong points, but we likely won't come back to find out. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found CJ's corner while spending the weekend down the shore. Anytime there's an extensive list of Bennies, I'M IN! I'll admit, I won't feel great later due to the amounts of gluten we ordered, but these breakfast treats were too good to pass up. I got the Tuscan Bennie which was topped with a well cooked poached egg, prosciutto, spinach, and roasted red peppers with a classic hollandaise piled high on an English muffin. Oh, so good! Loved the subtle smokiness from the prosciutto and the extra tang from the roasted red peppers. The breakfast potatoes (sliced like chips) that came with both bennies were decent, too! My bf went for the Longport Bennie. Croissant on the bottom, a perfect poached egg, smoked salmon, goat cheese, chives and hollandaise. He wolfed it down. I'm not a goat cheese or smoked salmon fan, so I passed on a bite, but I'll take his word that it was good. Since we've ventured on this gluten binge together, we had to get the almond joy pancakes. Yum! To fully get the almond joy flavor, they could have used more of the chocolate/almond/coconut fixings but they were still tasty. On the side we got the Turkey bacon, which was a bit undercooked but edible. A great first impression of the restaurant. We hope to return to try other parts of the menu in the future. read more

I've been coming to CJ's since I was a little girl and I have always loved it! I'm not a breakfast person but I crave their food!!! The restaurant itself is a bit small so it tends to fill up, but if you get there early enough, there shouldn't be an issue with getting a seat. The waitresses are all very attentive and kind. I highly recommend CJ's; I've never had a bad experience! read more

What a great brunch spot! Really creative menu that has something for everyone from traditional breakfast fare to unique flavor combos! The fresh brewed iced tea for us non-coffee drinkers is worth mentioning, so good! Service was on the ball and they did a great job of moving the crowd without rushing us. Worth the wait! read more

Another local favorite, CJs Corner Grill. Pictured are their Corn Bread Pancakes topped with maple bacon, bourbon honey butter, and whipped cream. They have a TON of specialty omelettes, French toast, and pancakes. I also tried their "Two Eggs Any Style." Their home fries were seasoned perfectly . You really can't go wrong with anything that you choose! I can't wait to go back and I'm excited for you to try their food. Service-their servers made some really great recommendations regarding the dishes that myself and friends wanted to try. She really listened to what we were looking for and tapered her recommendations from there. Parking-parking is limited! I recommend parking on neighboring streets; catching a parking spot in their parking lot is nearly impossible during a rush (that speaks to how amazing their food is!). If you're visiting during the summer months, read the parking parameter signs...they mean it when they say they'll ticket you or tow your car (don't be that shoe-be). Extra- If you're not new here and have seen my other posts, you know I've worked within the service industry for a LONG TIME...their hostess (who appear to also be their servers) are not the strongest. Being conscious of your tone with guests when they call ahead, I feel, is important. Additionally, the hostess gave a inaccurate time for the wait (telling us it'd be 20 minutes and it was 40-45). I'll also say, the day I visited, a fourteen top had taken up a third of the restaurant which contributed to the long wait (what can you do ‍). Lastly, I wouldn't seat a two top at a four top (which could be sat as a 6 top) during a rush brunch time. If you're going on a weekend, be prepared to wait and know that it's totally worth the wait. read more

Very negative review warning - Horrible hostess , gave us an estimated time of 45 min wait , we ended up waiting almost 2 hours - left without being seated . Very disorganised and not caring stuff that works there . If you value your time - don't go there . read more

The chicken and waffles is absolutely insane. Everyone is friendly and it's a nice corner spot to chill.

I've been passing this little stop for years and finally made a choice to try them out for breakfast. Was very fortunate to get a parking spot as they have only a few available on their lot. Street parking is available as well. The menu had a variety of great & unique options. My friend choose a crab omelette but was later told that they didn't have crab. But it was so easy to pick something else, so salmon it was. She loved her omelette! I chose a simple breakfast sandwich, so I was disappointed that they messed up my order to include a runny egg instead of the fried hard egg that I requested. And the toast was cold. I would give them another try though as I loved the cute quaint vibe. And our waitress, Giavana was very good, always checking back to make sure all was well. read more

Definitely one of the best breakfast spots around. I got the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes which were just insanely good. They had real lemon flavor, perfectly cooked, perfect texture. They weren't overly sweet, and had so much flavor they didn't even need syrup. My husband got this biscuits and gravy Benedict dish with fried chicken and hot honey that he really enjoyed. So many flavors but they all went together perfectly. The menu has a ton of variety and so many unique things that sounded amazing, we had to go back that weekend with the kids to try more. I got the avocado toast. It was huge, fresh and flavorful. My son got an omelette, and my other son got Oreo pancakes that were a little sweet for my taste but he liked them- definitely a kid favorite. Give this place a try, you can't go wrong. read more

Though their cuisine is to be admired, I cannot help but feel I was to be shanghaied by a band of nascent ruffians upon closure of my chequebook. Were it as in the days of old, I'd've reached for mine own trusty coach gun and warded off such imprudent purse pinching, but in these days of gilded anarchy I could not justify troubling myself with the affairs of local lawmen over matters of coin. So was it that not even a six-pence piece would be seen as fair compensation for a paltry morsel and a tankard of bean water. Loathsome! 4 stars read more

Much better the second time around. They put on more hollendaise and everything was cooked just right. The service was excellent. read more

Cute little corner Cafe serving breakfast (all day) and lunch. Unique food choices. Today I had an in house roasted turkey with apple slices and chedder grilled on rye, it was very good. Hubby had 3 sausage gravy over cheddar biscuits, I had a bite and it was definitely good. Outside and inside dining. Inside is tight but has nice farmhouse decor. Limited parking in their lot and street parking was a bit of a challenge. Service was friendly but busy. A little pricey but portion sizes were decent. They were out of chips so upgraded to fries at no charge. read more

There's nothing negative to say about CJ's. It's the quintessential breakfast and lunch spot. Food is always good and consistent. They're less expensive than most spots but offer the same portion sizes. The cornbread pancakes are fucking ridiculous, everyone should try them. The space is always clean and maintained. Not too cramped, but it definitely gets busy (for good reasons). But the service and turn over is fast and efficient. The best part is the staff. CJ's wouldn't be the same without Alyssa, Emily, Kayla, and Sam. It's always great having Kaylee and Payten too! read more

A fun, quirky spot with unique and delicious food. So happy we stopped.

If you're in the area, THIS is the breakfast spot. Saturday Morning we did takeout breakfast. 4/5 cj's breakfast burrito. Could've used more salsa. 4/5 veggie burrito. My husband said it was nice, he added hot sauce. Still delicious. Came with thin sliced potatoes. Sunday we ate in restaurant. About 15-20min wait at 8:45am. Friendly waitrees named Leanne! Super sweet with our baby girl. 5/5 Puffed French Toast "it was great" 5/5 Stuffed Nutella Crossant Frenchtoast. Unbelievable. I don't even really like cream cheese icing, but it was only a drizzle and it was fantastic So I couldn't decide if I wanted savory or sweet, so I ordered one of their biscuits with a side of their gravy and OMG. I know I wouldn't be disappointed with their sausage gravy biscuit dish. I took the leftover gravy home. I'm gonna smother some baked chicken in it. read more

The restaurant, including our table that we sat at, wasn't clean. The table was half wiped by the bus boy and when I asked the waitress if she would mind wiping it for us (because even the parts that had food and were wiped, were merely pushed onto the chairs), she also barely wiped it leaving a pile of water and not really cleaning it. For reference, I've never had to ask for a table to be cleaned anywhere that I've eaten ever. The menu looked like it had some interesting things on it, but none of them were that good when they arrived. The waitresses were just looking at their phones and having drinks and talking to one another like they were on break and never checked on the table to see how things were or to see if we needed anything else. Very disappointing in terms of cleanliness, food, and staff. read more
