C J's Cafe - Arroyo Grande

Update: We really came back the next day?? Absolutely beautiful place with delicious food and groundless coffee (my favorite? We will definitely come back here to try the rest of the menu.

My family I usually love this diner. Unfortunately, this time, the food wasn't as good as usual. But we got great customer service, as always! They just need to get some consistency with their chefs.

Always great service. Easy to get in. Good food good service great waitresses. Easy to pay your bill. Being a single man I used to come here often before covid. Food was always plentiful and tasty! It still is! The owner manages the place well and has well delegated authority to others who properly manage and run this business. I know I might sound like the owner myself but I'm not. Just a prior business owner that appreciates good management, good service and good food. I have yet to be disappointed at CJ's despite having eaten scores of meals here (although I will have to admit that they have only been breakfast and lunches never dinners . My mother used to swap recipes with Marie Callender down in the Long Beach area where they both lived (and died . So I'm used to healthy, good tasting food (another belated thanks, Mom, for having so lovingly provided for your family! .

CJ's is a classic no frills All American diner. There is an extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Service is prompt, efficient, and extremely friendly. I have never been disappointed.

I have never gotten a dish I don't like. Fast friendly service.
