Walking into CJs recently straight away I noticed the fresh interior changes to the space, the lighting upgrades, new colour on the walls and it instantly uplifted the space and has made it feel more inviting. Looking forward to the outdoor space being revamped, so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. The staff are all wonderful and friendly people who take the time out of their day to get to know their regulars on first name basis. Great little spot to grab a bite to eat and they also do a wonderful Coffee

I wasn't going to eat anything as I'm on a strict diet then I saw those burgers on display and said. I want that. My friend took the last double of everything so the ladies made me a freshly. I didn't want to make a seen but everyone heard my say "oh my goodness". And oh my goodness indeed. I was going to take a picture but I was to busy making love to that burger . The service was entertaining too
