Each time we dine here the food and service are exceptional. In Shelton we are limited with good restaurants and we couldn't be happier. The server during the day is so efficient and kind. read more

Great food and fantastic service every time we visit. It is great to find a restaurant these days that services breakfast ALL DAY! My dad's favorites are always the burgers. You can't go wrong with the food! read more

Dinner here is amazing! I wish they'd be open a little later for those who get done with work later in the day. Waiter Josh is exceptional! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Food was very good and tasty. Had the basic breakfast and it was very good. Clean fresh food. Our waiter, Josh, was outstanding. Very attentive without being overbearing. He was there when need be. He greeted everyone with a big smile and a very warm "Good morning". We watched him seat people, take orders, get drinks and refills and bus tables. Very hard worker. Impressed. He made our morning. We had just spent 3 days in Port Townsend and had horrible meals all 3 days so thank you Josh for picking up our morning. Will definitely go back when in Shelton not only for the food but to say "hey" to Josh. read more

I love that this place does breakfast most of the day. I had an omelet that was decently good. The potatoes that came with it were a bit greasy, but tasted good. Others in my group had burgers, that looked decent. It was classic diner food 100%. Grease and everything. That isn't a terrible thing if you know what you are getting. And sometimes doesn't take away from taste, as the case with them. Our server was quite sweet, and attentive. The low rating is simply from atmosphere. This place is just tired looking. The plates are chipped, the cups are clearly old. The tables and chairs are tired. The walls and ceiling are dirty. Our table was dusty/dirty when we sat down. If it wasn't for that, I would give this place a solid 4 for its food and 5 for its service. read more

We hadn't been to Shelton for a while, and went online to find a place to eat. When I saw home fries on the menu I was extremely happy. Hash browns are ok occasionally, but I much prefer potatoes with peppers and onions. Our server was adorable, and very good at her job. Kept the coffee coming, lol. The restaurant was very clean, and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely looking forward to a return visit read more

CJ's Corner - I ordered hash, eggs & home fries!!! They did not disappoint. - American Near Me - Shelton, Washington

After moving to Shelton about 6 months ago I'd been looking for that perfect breakfast spot and diner. Perhaps not perfect, but CJ's corner is that spot. From hamburger steak, soups, and sandwiches, to french toast, eggs Benedict, and other diner favorites, CJ's delivers. In fact, the breakfast in my photos was so delicious we started eating before taking the pictures. The staff are always friendly and thorough, although they can get backed up when busy. The only real criticism I have is that it's a tad pricey for what it is, and the ambiance could use a little boosting. Lastly, they close at 8pm, which is early for me, but maybe not for Shelton. I think 9 would be a better goal. Aside from that, I everything I've tried here is delicious! read more

Country Benedict...yuck gravy. Yoke on egg looked poor yellow. Sausage was flat paper thin. Biscuit was a dinner roll. Yea not going back.

Food was diner food. Service was great. Walked in 10 minutes till closing and we're able to get a special as well as food for the kids.

great food and wonderful service, friendly atmosphere. Great homemade soups. Especially like the clam chowder. Hamburgers are grilled and very tasty. Ice cream is now being served in eight different flavors. read more

***Can you breathe?*** Just. Don't. Before you get a literal foot in the door you open it to smog. My guess based on the feel of it is that it's a poorly ventilated fryer area or a fryer area with no hood or a never cleaned hood. It's like a fog machine went off indoors. It also looks based on ceiling vents that it's actually venting the kitchen INTO the dining area. There's no way the air quality is meeting OSHA safety standards for their employees or maybe even health department standards. I WOULD NOT bring anyone that has asthma or any other breathing difficulties. We walked into a "seat yourself" situation. An almost empty dining room. Loud staff complaining about how they're going to quit. Picked a table as far as we could from the kitchen. Table grimy. It felt... I can only describe it as caked on. It seemed "as clean as it could get" if you just wiped it down with a wet rag. This is pumice stone gross. Calcium buildup on tubs kind of gross. Points off for sticky menus. Why?! Why are the menus always nasty? Waitress was friendly if forgettable. The best waitresses know how to give and receive small talk. There was none. Food brought out in an average amount of time. Not exceptionally long or fast but time seemed to almost stand still. The dining room was SILENT. No music, no laughter, no tv on in the background. Just a few other people choking on their food or the air. I could literally here one guy slurping from 10 feet away. Food also came out on a chipped plate. That never makes me feel good. You eat your food the whole time worrying about eating ceramic. If you can't afford to replace plates just use the plastic baskets and paper liners for the burgers and fries. Decorations don't make sense. This is diner food with want to be fine dining decor if it was purchased at Ross. Food- better than I expected overall. If they used door dash and you ordered from them the same day they change the oil you might get some pretty decent food you'd be happy about. Overheard the waitress telling another patron "we have to switch our soups for the day". -- "switch" sounds like they found something spoiled. Better verbiage "we sold out of" There was no joy in this establishment. At the end of the meal I got up to use the (filthy) restroom and had fresher air. Wadded up toilet paper on both tanks. Out of seat liners. And the grout is black. I thought looking at my feet it was black grout. But following my eyes to the baseboard it looks like it was originally white. They either need to stain all the grout black or CLEAN. let's hope it's clean. At the end of the day this place felt like something some one opened when they got some inheritance money and zero restaurant MANAGEMENT experience. Food tolerable but no quality controls in place. Originally had it at three stars because I actually liked my burger and fries. Reread my own review and dropped it to two. Found a picture of the broken plate in my photo album on my phone I had forgotten. Dropped it again. Any time you have to worry if the food you're eating will cause your esophagus to bleed.... That should be a one. read more

For breakfast the restaurant recently reduced the size of the ham slice by about 40%. When a comment was placed the ownership stated that if I didn't like it I should just order something else. Nice... read more

This was my second or third time, but the first time in a while. I got the reuben sandwich for dinner. I could do with a little less sauce and a little more meat.. otherwise pretty good sandwich.. waitress is very nice.. not very busy on a Sunday evening about 6:00 pm.. read more

We have been going here for years great food. The owner/waitress was totally rude to us. Brought us our menus, and we said we know what we want. She said I'm not ready yet not in a nice way. It was not even busy, we will never be back, cost her money. read more

This is a terrific local spot. While I enjoyed a late breakfast there was a womens group and teens and couples and seniors all enjoying their choices. My breakfast started with a great cup of coffee and a breakfast perfectly cooked. Eggs over medium and sausages and hash browns and fluffy tasty hotcakes. read more

Friendly service, every table full, plenty of wait staff, food came out quickly. Arrived around 1030 am on a Sunday. Had the Albuquerque Turkey sandwich with green chilies, was amazing. Kiddo had bowl of chili and cornbread, also good. All of the breakfasts looked good, also. Clearly lots of locals here, and they were friendly to those passing through town. They opened the back room while we were there and it seemed to fill quickly. read more

We liked eating here until we got the same blonde ponytail server at dinner twice. After terrible service from her once, we thought maybe she had an off night. The second time she was rude the moment I walked in and she asked "How many" apparently my answer wasn't what she wanted to hear (it was only 4). She acts like she really hates her job and everyone that walks in there. My two granddaughters asked me if they could have a jelly pack from the rack on the table, they're 4 & 7, I said yes take two home for breakfast. When we were leaving this woman actually said "Oh and you're stealing my jelly!" I really regret that I tipped her, she deserved nothing. Owner Mary never returned my complaint call. We won't go back. read more

I ordered a BLT to go. No side. It cost over $16 but I was willing to pay it as I was hungry and had barely eaten the day before. I wish I would have checked the sandwich before leaving. The toast was clearly burnt. It looked like someone tried to scrape the black off one side. The crust was black. There were black bits on the bottom of the container. So I basically paid close to $20 to throw it in the trash. Very disappointed. Clearly no consideration to get a quality product to a paying customer read more

We've been here a few times and it's always been ok but this time, my hubby is getting over being very sick and asked to substitute mashed potatoes instead of fries and they denied the request. I have never had a restraut deny such a minor request. Will not be back. read more

Service was very good and Josh was our server. I had the Farmers omelette and it was excellent. Josh recommended the home fries which were fried potatoes with green peppers and onions. They were awesome and the meal came with a large biscuit! read more

Do not support this Local Restaurant !! After visiting twice and calling once to confirm the back room rules, we booked the back room of CJ's for a small event. The morning of the event, our group arrived and was told by the owner that the back room was booked over for a 'larger group' and we would be put in the main room. As our event is private and included a craft exercise, the main room would not serve our group. The owner indicated someone at lunch was there the day before and was told this would happen. The individual indicated to the owner they did not think it would work - but the owner moved our group anyway. Another individual indicated this has happened to other groups before, but it is not (YET) public knowledge. When you book, your name and telephone number is taken. Why was NO call placed to our group to ASK if we could utilize the main room?? Doesn't the needs of local community groups matter, whether they are small or large groups? Doesn't the confirmation of a booking matter to this owner? If the room has a $125 minimum charge and a small group is willing to meet this obligation, why does the owner not think it important to keep her side of the booking arrangements? Please think twice before considering this site. It is not community-serving. read more

Best corn beef hash in town! Place was so packed on a Sunday service was still good with one waitress. Not many places to sit. They wouldn't open up there back room for more seating which didn't make much sense. read more

We stopped for lunch on Monday. I had the ham sandwich with tater tots and my wife had the melted cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries. Both were excellent. read more

Great local restaurant with homemade food. Breakfast served all day! Large biscuits and muffins are yummy! I had the turkey, bacon,Swiss sandwich, plenty to share or take home. Staff are friendly and food is served quickly. read more

Be careful of that bill. My friends and I were charged considerably more than the price listed on the menu. Also my meat was burnt and my friend's English muffin was burnt. They were not good at refilling beverages and I left thirsty. Better to avoid them. read more

This place was super clean and quiet and the waitress sat us right away. She was really friendly and attentive. They have a pretty nice selection on the menu to choose from. The food was really really good and super fresh and great portions. The fries were so good and the ranch tastes homemade! I'm really happy we went here and I would like to come back to try some more options they have. read more

I have been here twice. The service is always good. The food is very good. It's a very simple layout and decor but everyone there is relaxed and it feels comfortable. It's an easy lunch place I'll definitely go back. read more

Food was good, but ambience wasn't great. Felt like a cafeteria. Got a sandwich and a burger which were both pretty good.

Everything was great, the service, food, and condition of the restaurant :) would heavily recommend.

My husband and I went to eat dinner there last week and the waitress was terrible. She is slow and very insulting to me. After we finished eating she came over gave us the ticket and when we didn't get up right away she came and put her hand out for the card to pay and went and rung up the bill and brought us back the receipt. There was only one other customer in the restaurant and they weren't closing. When we left she didn't even say anything to us. The food was ok but better than the service we got from her. read more

Comfort food, clean dining area, and awesome service by our server Betty. We will definitely go back!
