"Great place to get some good food. Place is clean and atmosphere inside is good. My food was fresh and delicious. Fresh cut home fries and cheeseburger was cooked perfect. Waitress was nice and friendly. Come and check this place!"

"Found this place by accident on the way back to Paris from getting my driver's license. My mother and I stopped there and had an amazing lunch. The menu is off the chain. From burgers to frog legs. They have it all. Service was friendly and great and for a restaurant sort of in the middle of nowhere, no disrespect intended, was well worth a drive from Paris or Clarksville. I highly recommend this place as most of you probably already know it in the area. I understand they have seafood boils and different things. And once again, the menu was amazing with the different variety of things to choose from. The restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly that we encountered. I will definitely be back again and again?"

"Great food! From breakfast to dinner, we loved the food. The staff has a good attitude and is very helpful. Even better are the prices, average or lower prices are a better value as the helpings are large."

"CJ's has a good variety to choose from on their menu. This visit I ordered a hamburger with grilled onions and fresh cut french fries. My husband ordered a hamburger with bacon along with seasoned fries. My hamburger was good. The fresh cut fries were big and tasted good but could have been cooked a little longer. My husband enjoyed his food too. The service was good and they were very friendly."

"This place was great. Great food and people. Only minor negative was the was only one waitress for the whole place, so it wasn't fair for her, but still did a great job."

"Food was pretty good: Onion rings looked amazing but lacked flavor. Was disappointed that a small town cafe didn't offer homemade ranch dressing. It matters! Fish was really good. Service was great. Will make it a regular spot if they stop using bottled dressing."

"The wait staff is always super friendly. The food is delicious although I always order the exact same thing so I can not really speak for the entire menu. It's close to home so we don't have to drive all the way to Paris if we want to eat out. It's actually better than any cafe in Paris anyways so it's really a win either way. Cheaper in gas and the food is better. The wait staff is always friendly so it feels more inviting."
