So when my husband and I were greeted by a tidy but unassuming building that houses CJ's, I knew we were about to have some of the best meat product in the area. We were welcomed by the human ray of sunshine behind the register, who was not only helpful but adorably encouraged us to help ourselves to the little valentines that she had sprinkled across the tables around the restaurant. We ordered two burgers and sat ourselves at the counter, enjoying the happy chatter between the kitchen and hostess while we waited for our food. I got the Number Seven Burger (pimento cheese, american cheese, smoked bacon, onion ring, slaw, and cajun mayo) as a combo which came with their peppery fries and a drink for $15.50. One gloriously messy bite and I was in transports. The BEEF...So high quality, dripping with flavor and perfectly cooked that I felt like I had blasphemed against the burger gods for defiling it by ordering it with so many toppings. It goes without saying that my cholesterol lives in fear of the next time I go to CJ's (and there will be a next time.) HERE is a smash burger to smash all other burgers. A beacon of greasy burger goodness in a world of all-flash-no-smash novelty gourmet nonsense. Thank you, CJ's!

I ordered the Bacon/ Cheese fries for lunch and they were so good!! This is definitely going to be one of my go to places for lunch.

Great food, great ambiance, and an absolutely gorgeous patio overlooking the vineyard! We came here…read moreafter a stroll through Reynolda Village in Winston, followed by a bottle of wine on Rayson's relaxing outdoor patio. This dinner was the perfect ending to a perfect day on a warm, sunny November evening. The food was excellent. We started with the baked brie wrapped in a buttery flaky pastry, and the goat cheese medallions with marinated peppers and olive tapenade. Both were delicious. For mains, I had the porcini mushroom and cheese stuffed ravioli in a beef ragu, and this dish was outstanding. Everything blended beautifully and melted in your mouth with that rich ragu surrounding it. I'd definitely order it again. My wife had the chicken gnocchi dish. The only slight miss was the gnocchi. It wasn't homemade and leaned more on the firm side rather than that soft, melt in your mouth texture. Outside of that, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the manchego spinach cream sauce was fantastic. What truly sets this place apart is the patio overlooking the vineyard. I highly recommend reserving a seat outside for the full experience. Looking forward to our next trip here!

After an odd experience of going to two other wineries that advertised food trucks (and the food…read moretrucks were there, but not open, and no customers in sight?!) we ventured to Bistro Europa at Rayson, where we had enjoyed a delightful experience a month or so earlier. Even without reservations we were seated on the (enclosed for winter) patio immediately. The patio affords lovely views of the vineyards. Both times we have visited it has been a little noisy due to a large group but hey they are having fun. I ordered the Chicken Gnocchi, which comes with capicola, manchego, spinach and creamy brown butter sage sauce. That sauce -- chef's kiss! It paired nicely with the Élevage Blanc wine. We got a slice of chocolate torte to go and it was delicious as well. Highly recommend.

Looks like you had to ask for an actual physical menu based off another customer - not sure what was on there. Sat outside under the shaded bench area to eat our dessert. We ordered a lava cake, blueberry cobbler with a local vanilla gelato, and a cinnamon roll. None of them were exemplary. If I had to pick which was the best one, maybe the blueberry cobbler. Lava cake should not have been called a lava cake, it was just basically a soft chocolate cake, which still didn't taste that good. Disappointing. The vanilla gelato was low quality.
