Great food options, something for everyone. All-sized parties are welcome, and the bar has a wide assortment. There were eight of us at the party today, with people scattered throughout the main dining room, the bar, and the back dining room. Sadly, there was only one wait staff for everybody, so she ran to keep up. Everybody enjoyed what they ordered. It was freshly prepared and had great flavoring. Prices are fair, and no surcharge was added for the party of eight. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. It was quiet, and because of the ambient noise, we were able to have conversations without yelling at one another. read more

We happened upon this restaurant on a whim. Immediately, we were greeted and seated. The hostess was very kind. We sat for just a few minutes before our lovely waitress came to our table. She was so sweet and when we told her we were from Indiana, she got excited and said she was, too! Always nice to meet a fellow Hoosier even if it's in Ohio! We placed our order, waited a little longer than we had hoped but the food was worth the wait. Everything seemed to be so fresh, right down to the rolls and muffins our waitress had forgotten to serve at the beginning of our visit. I'm not hating though! We were so pleased she brought them and it was a pleasant surprise. The housemade poppyseed dressing is a must! So delicious! We're definitely coming back! read more

I do not understand all the negative reviews of this place. My family and I all thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The only valid gripe about this restaurant I read concerned its ambience being a rather dark restaurant. I can certainly acknowledge that, still its is a large one with plenty of room. They also have an area set aside for parties and events. Service was excellent. Our waitress was courteous, the food came out quick. My mother got some shrimp scampi, baked apples and mashed potatoes she absolutely loved to the point she immediately told me she wanted to return to this restaurant in the future. My brother ordered a farmhand burger, and I got a rack of the baby back ribs. These meals were delicious, hearty, and quite satisfying. One thing we all regret is that we did not take a fresh baked pie home, next time we will. I loved how on the way out you can grab a lollipop, the kid in me loved the idea. Great place! I will return! read more

Good food good place good people family friendly clean. Great service. Food taste good

Not good. Service was ok but not sure we will ever go back. I ordered fish with broccoli and my wife got the Swiss Steak. It took quite a while to get our food and it was disappointing to say the least. When the food finally came my broccoli had some type of white bag on it I assume used for steaming but not sure why, the waitress saw it and just pulled it off. My wife went to take a bit of the Swiss steak and it had some type of plastic in it. She decided not to eat anything. Food was warm at best and after waiting as long as we did not sure why it wasn't at least hot. Sorry I really wanted to like it but just too many issues for me. Need to work on the kitchen and cooks, food should not come to the tables in this manner. read more

We went back to Highmarks for a late lunch. I ordered grilled shrimp stir-fry and Hubby got pork chops and rice with salad. My meal was excellent. Hubby used my stir-fry sauce on his chops and really liked it better. Good place to eat! read more

Love ittttt besides when the servers don't come after us for check up or refills or even offer us bread the last 3 times we've been there. We tried getting bread once and she said SURE and never got us our bread. We obviously like the bread read more

Try the Chicken Cheese Soup and Spinach Salad! Delish! And the staff is extra friendly! read more

I was In Town for the week, played golf next store. The friend I was golfing with suggested the place. I found the place to be great. Lots of choices on the menu and reasonably priced. Returned a few days later with my wife before we headed back home. read more

Horrible service was there for 30 minutes and still didn't get drinks. We ordered Pepsi, starry, and water.

Wonderful food. The jumbo Shrimp is perfection. Good coleslaw, sweet potato casserole, and baked apples are all delicious! Complimentary pumpkin spice muffins are perfect. You won't be disappointed ! read more

Service was great, beer was ice cold, food was absolutely fantastic. I'm staying at the best Western down the road and this place was a nice treat. 10/10 recommend the Parmesan crusted chicken and have to get the Au Gratin Potatoes. read more

Friend and I went out for dinner. Honestly being new to town, I didn't know it was even back there. Zero wait time. Seated immediately. Waitress was nice. Knew her menu. Beer was ice cold. Spinach artichoke dip was really good. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Healthy portions of veggies. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. If there was any downside,and yes, I'm being picky, they need to clean the glass. Nothingly like looking out over the golf course thru streaked glass. read more

We had an excellent meal Thursday night at CJ's. My chopped steak was loaded with mushrooms and so tasty. My wife enjoyed her fish dinner and everyone else around the table was very satisfied. Excellent service! I recommend it. read more

Nice place located near golf course and within walking distance of Best Western. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and side salad. Chicken was good, a little thicker than what you get at an Italian restaurant. It came on a large portion of spaghetti with a good amount of a tasty red sauce. The salad came with a "sweet and sour" dressing which i would describe as a creamy vinaigrette - I really liked the dressing. The chicken Parmesan came with a piece of buttered Italian spice flavored toast and they put small muffins and bread on the table as well with whipped butter. Portions good, food good, pricing just a little high but overall a good place to come and enjoy. read more

We surprised my dad for his birthday, so there was a group of 14 of us. I made reservations and they had the table ready when we walked in. The server was very nice, fast & accommodating. The manager even checked on us throughout the meal and helped clear plates & run food. We ordered a blooming onion, cheese sticks & pretzels - all were great. Along with the appetizers they brought out two huge baskets of yeast rolls and cinnamon muffins...sooooooo good! Hubby ordered the prime rib sandwich (awesome) & kids ordered grilled cheese (ate all of it) and cheesy chicken soup (barely touched). My dad ordered their naked wings and they were big, juicy & just the right crunch, cooked perfectly. The buffalo sauce was really good with the wings. Sister in law ordered the farmhouse steak burger and she ate every bite. Their fries are steak fry style and looked good. They lose a because my meal, Cajun chicken pasta was not good . It lacked flavor, Cajun flavor that is....buttery noodles with chicken that tasted like it was precooked and bought from a bag. Needed ALOT of salt & seasoning. Very disappointed with it. They also need a bigger kids menu. They have a huge selection of food but their kids menu is only a few lines...confused as to why? Overall, we had a great time, great service and mostly great food! Would recommend this place for big parties for sure! read more

We came here for my husbands grandmas birthday. We had a larger party so we got the banquet/party room to ourselves. The restaurant was clean and waitstaff was friendly. Orders all came out correctly and wasn't a long wait. I ordered the flatbread and it was just okay. I thought the crust was too moist and mushy. My husband loovvveeeddd the Cobb salad though. Whenever we come here, he always orders that and he's never been disappointed! It's a good, safe order :) read more

I wish I would have read the review before we came. I have friends that come here a lot and I can't figure out why. Bland, sticky, cold, agitated are words I would use to describe this place. It's freezing by the disgustingly dirty windows and I'm wearing two layers. The table is sticky and I would have asked the server to clean it but we didn't have one when we sat down. This wouldn't have been as obvious is the grumpy lady hadn't announced to us the server was missing so she would "have to get our drinks." The couple next to us then also got drinks because apparently after they waited 15 minutes, it was arrival the clues in the grumpy lady that they hadn't been served. The rolls and muffins are ok, probably better warm than room temperature. The rusty thing they're served in is a little strange. I ordered a New York strip that had so little flavor that I almost got steak sauce and that's just wrong. Also it's served by weight and for $20.99 it shouldn't be 1/3 fat. Gross. We won't be back. Ever. Previous reviews are replied to with "I wish you'd have told us." I'm not going there because I don't want the grumpy lady involved again. It's clear from the start that you probably shouldn't complain for fear of her tirade. The missing server explained he was trying to take a five minute break on a ten hour shift. Poor guy. read more

We were unfamiliar with the area, but we thought CJ's menu seemed promising!! Cj's knocked it out of the park!! Excellent pretzels and cheese appetizer, and the fried Zucchini was stellar!! The soup was incredible and the Philly Steak and Cheese topped any I've ever had in Philadelphia, PA!! Absolutely, one of the best, most hospitable restaurants we've visited for a long time!! Thanks to CJ's for a wonderful experience! We'll be back!! read more

Food is so so. Decent appetizers, friendly staff. Food is bland and unimaginative. I had the pork chops, and they looked delicious. Once I tried them, there was absolutely no taste to them at all. It was if they were boiled, then seared quickly on the grill. A big disappointment. They meal comes with 2 sides. I had to pay extra to have a side salad as one of my sides. I also had green beans which were served lukewarm. It also bears mentioning we were there on New Year's Eve, and they were accepting walk ins. This was at 6:00 PM, and there were plenty of empty tables. read more

The waitress was nice and made sure we had everything needed. The silverware were dirty. The food was ok but nothing special. I would expect better for the price. read more

Everything I had here was good the beer was cold the food was hot. Got a very good steak here, ribeye medium rare just the way I like it my buddy got a well-done steak that was actually well done another buddy of mine got a chicken Parmesan that was amazing drinks stayed full and I tipped well and will be back read more

I was in town on business, and this looked like a nice independent place. I came on a Tuesday and the specials were 22oz Yuengling beer for under $3.00 and 4 piece fried chicken with 2 sides for under $10. I'm a bit of a fried chicken snob, so I wasn't expecting much. Let me tell you, this was some of the best fried chicken I have ever had!! Fried perfectly, the skin was delicious, the meat was all really juicy. I don't know what they could have done to make it better. The green beans were made with bacon and onion and were also really good. Great value and food! read more

I had lunch today, Memorial Day, here. There were a few customers, but it wasn't busy. Server was attentive and friendly (if I based a review on that, she'd get 5 stars), and lunch was fairly quickly served. Got the lunch special for today, 7oz sirloin and two sides. Ordered the steak medium rare; received well done, just barely pink. Meat was tender, but had no real flavor. I really don't like their fries (crispy, which is good, but taste is bleah; needs seasoning or something). The second side, applesauce, was in a tiny bowl. (I'm no elementary school student; and maybe add a little cinnamon . . .) Almost $20 for lunch, with sweet tea and tip. Not keen on going back, though I wonder if their wings are decent. read more

Went in here for a business lunch with my coworker and we both ordered salads. I had the Chicken Cobb and he had a Chicken Caesar. The salads were huge and the ingredients were nice and fresh and crisp. They gave us rolls and muffins to eat while waiting and they were great too! The waitress was new and was in training still but she did a great job. The only issue I had was that my coworker ordered a bowl of soup and she only brought the cup, but tried to charge for a bowl. They were quick to fix the check and courteous. The restaurant was nice, I will say it felt a little dark inside and our table was really sticky and had to be wiped down again after we sat down. I would have given a perfect score if the table had been clean. I hadn't been in here in quite a while but I will honestly go back and I will recommend it to friends! read more

I don't understand the low ratings. I attended a meeting here last Monday. The owner treated us wonderful. Meeting room and the facility were 10 stars, the food was excellent, everyone cleaned their plates, my pot roast was delicious, and the chicken chowder was great. All this in a serene setting by a golf course. Loved it & will return. read more

The wait was short to be seated on a Friday night. Food was delivered quickly, our steaks were cooked great. Only issue was that my steak had a large chunk of fat on the end. But all in all the atmosphere was relaxed. Great place to eat and I will be back. read more

Horrible we ordered family dinner half the food was wrong plus they forgot all the drinks!!!! very very upset

I was traveling for work and the hotel recommended CJ's for dinner. The steak was cooked as ordered, sides were good, beer was ice cold. The wait staff was very efficient, fast, and friendly. I would recommend CJ's to everyone. The menu has a good variety to suit all tastes. read more

I LOVE coming here and getting the most delicious, satisfying, dinner in the world...the Veracruz Wrap. The chicken is so breaded and juicy, the rice is spiced just right, the peppers are so crisp, the sour cream so smooth, and the cheese is so shredded. All of this is held together by a soft, perfect tortilla and topped with crunchy red chips. This is hands down the perfect food. If this food went away, I would be bereft. It's better than anything your grandma ever made and I don't care how old she is. Thank you CJ's for the Veracruz Wrap. It makes life worth living. Sincerely, Liz read more

Corona curbside service to some hotel- dwellers desperate for steak! Myself and my comrades ordered the Ribeye, all were different preferences on wellness. All were satisfied beyond expectations and we were able to easily cut the tender beef with plastic wear. Cudos to the staff and cooks we will be back! read more

A good offering of entrees. Our waitress was very efficient. Nice atmosphere. Very busy place... it was our first time. The food was good, not exceptional however. My sirloin was bland... It definitely needed some seasoning. The carrots and sweet potato casserole were delightful. The basket of rolls/muffins was a nice addition to the meal I must say. The onion appetizer was delicious. We might return... 3/4 of us were excited about the prospect of AYCE fish during Lent that was advertised. read more

Was in New Bremen for business for the week and got recommended to eat at this place by some of the staff. Overall the experience was not bad, but average at best. The prices were awesome, $3.50 for a double cheese burger that was not bad. The fries on the other hand looked and tasted as if someone had forgot them in the fryer over night. The beer selection also gained them back some point in my eyes. There really are a slim amount of options to eat at in the area aside from mcdonalds and those types of fast food places, so if you get the chance support this small business and enjoy a cold beer. read more

Food was decent, but service was unacceptable. We got sat at exactly the same time as another couple in the same room. Both tables ordered the same appetizer (bloomin' onion) and they got theirs 20 min before ours. We ordered a salad & tenders with fries and got ours after the other couple got their meal, bill, and left (over 1 hour). After finishing eating frustrated we had no time to shop (had time to return to babysitter), I had to got to the kitchen and have someone track down our waitress and bill. Another couple with the same waitress said "you to finally are going to check up on us" when the waitress finally came out with the bill. It should not take over an hour at 2pm on a Sunday to get a salad and tendies. I'm not sure if it was just the waitress who struggled with the few tables she had or if the kitchen was only processing the other waitresses orders. Regardless you should not process nearly identical orders from 2 tables 20-30 min different times in a kitchen. read more

We had visited Highmarks in Troy when it was there 20 years ago so was excited to find another in celina still open ...however food was so so ...very greasy ...place was empty but stood in lobby waiting for a hostess to even come seat us .waitress was nice but the hostess and an older lady talked so loud ...constant yelling and huh ?....repeating loudly over parties coming in at 5pm moving tables ...but we were there at 3 pm and treated like didn't care about our privacy ...couldn't carry on conversation with my party because of them ...they were badmouthing other employees ...very unprofessional. Sorry stopped in .... read more

Cj's doesn't excite me. Their decor is too dark and genetic. They have good food but the menu is overwhelming with waaaaay too many choices, so for a first timer it would be difficult to make a choice. Their prices are ok, but it hurts to see the bill even for lunch. We will be back but it probably won't be first choice read more

In the ladies bathroom they have a sign that says "water is hot" The water is scorching hot!!!!! I couldn't wash my hands because of how hot the water was. There is no hot and cold. You turn the faucet on it goes straight to HOT, makes me wonder how do the employees wash their hands. I don't understand. If the water is HOT then fix it. The next time I go in there and it's still hot I will be contacting the manager and letting all the customers well aware. As far as the food. It's average. read more

Was in celina on business and stoped in for supper but never made it to the table sat 10 min while a waitress and hostess stood around and had a discussion between themselves. About once a minute stood up and looked at our party waiting then went back to their conversation. read more

The steak & shrimp was unacceptable and the "manager" who is the son of the owner was not helpful. Tough steak & rubbery shrimp. To top it off, it was on a day needing air conditioning and we looked up at the hanging stuff and it had an inch of dust all over it. He didn't care about that either. Why anyone would seek out this place is beyond me. The staff was very nice, though. It's the poor management that will doom this place and the mediocre food. read more

Steak good. Service not wounderful inside all brown need brighten up little pricy not bad. Had ribeye good taste
