Got there half an hour before closing. Staff were friendly, didn't rush us and we had great sandwiches! Ham, cheese, apple slices, walnuts with honey mustard-YUM! Friend had turkey with cranberry jelly and apple slices. My new favorite sandwich add-on: apples! We got muffins to go, another winner! Great place!

Returning from a family memorial service in Upstate New York, we stopped for dinner in Palmer. We found CJ's Restaurant by happenstance. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot. We took that to mean that it was a good restaurant. It turned out to be a great find.The banners out front advertised the pulled pork sandwich, cheesesteak grinder, and other fast food. However, once inside, we learned that it was mainly a seafood restaurant. The crab on the sign above the side entrance was a clue. Since we are seafood-lovers, we were delighted.On entering the restaurant, we were greeted and led to a booth in the main dining room in the back.Our waitress came for our beverage orders as soon as we got settled. It was a short wait for them. The menu had a lot of entrées we like. Making a final choice of what to have wasnât easy. We were ordering just before the Early Bird Specials time ended, so we both went with the Baked Stuffed Shrimp at $9.95. It came with two sides and Jell-O for dessert. We both took salad with blue cheese dressing as one side. And, for the other side, my friend took a baked potato, and I had rice pilaf.It was about 5-minute wait for rolls and butter, followed by the salads about two minutes later. Both were good.While waiting for the entrées, I checked out all the nautical décor. Out by the small bar area near one of the entrances, there were to sizable model ships, a lot of smaller ones, and a chalkboard with a very accurate drawing of a lobster. The walls in the dining areas were decorated with plaques, paintings, etc. It was quite a collection. Our entrées arrived about 5 minutes after we finished our salads. The stuffing on the shrimp was browned a little too much for my liking, but the overbrowned parts were easily removed. The stuffing was very tasty without being overly salty. The rice was well-seasoned and savory. The three shrimp were fairly large and well-prepared. Those were cooked just right. We enjoyed our meals. They were very filling. We did not have room for the Jell-O. Service was satisfactory. The place was clean.Outside, I walked around to see the small lighthouse attached to the building on the street side of the building. I noticed a ramp up to the nearby front entrance. It would accommodate a wheelchair. We rate CJ's Restaurant at 4.0 and can recommend eating there to people who like seafood.If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

My family and I had breakfast here, which was pretty good. The one thing I did not like about the philly cheesesteak omelette is that they simply melt a single piece of american cheese on top of the omelette. No cheese was inside the omelette. Overall, it was good, but did not meet my expectations. I wouldnât get it again, but I will certainly eat here for breakfast again, since they have other great items.

This was our first visit since the re-launch and it was very good. The decor was very nice, the old owners had too much clutter. The counter seating is a nice addition. The food was good and service was very friendly.Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are so excited to be open finally and making our customers happy!

I've eaten at this diner before and the food was good. Well I stopped last week and ordered a cheeseburger medium rare and a bowl of Italian soup. The soup wasn't very good, and the cheeseburger was beyond rare, to the point that in the middle wasn't even warm.Needless to say I will not be back!

The station is elegant and has been restored to the point that you can enjoy pretending you are in the past. Staff dresses in railroad themed clothing. Birthday wishes are done with blowing train whistles. Very cool. Food is excellent and portions are huge, Plan on bringing home leftovers to feed the family for a few nights. The Porter Steam engine and the steam aged wood parlor car are excellent memorabilia to photograph and adore. Amtrak Lake Shore blew past while we had dinner and it was cool since it was close to being on time. There were no announcements that that train would come through. Good thing I had Google to look it up.

The mushroom Swiss burger was very good. The french fries were of the frozen variety, nothing to rave about. Overall a good meal, better than a fast food restaurant and comparably priced.

Maria's pizza is family run and always delicious. They have something for everyone on their menu. We usually pick up our order but they have a nice casual dining room to eat there if you like. We have been eating there for five years after trying all the other pizza joints in town.
