CJ's Tap and Grill in Cobourg

Best soup

Very friendly staff, excellent selection of food and beverages. Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids eat here Food : 5/5 |

Stopped in for a super quick lunch due to being in court. The staff got our orders taken and served in no time! Super friendly people and delicious food. Will definitely be back.

Ordered chicken fingers and they were nasty. No crunch, cold, and discoloured. My husband tried them and was surprised I did not send them back. Think it was seagull from the parking lot, not chicken. Did not send back as I was with a group and did not want to make a scene. Server seemed a little frustrated and the restaurant was busy.

Great tasting food. Service was great. Place was super busy so it must be a local favorite. Happy I went.

Service is always great, food is good, if they removed a few tables it would be enjoyable, as is, not so much

Always good food and service.

Just not ok. Fajitas were fine but the beef dip was bluntly awful. Dried shriveled slices of meat that looked like shoe leather on an equally dry bun. Just wonder how restaurants can serve that food and expect to be paid. Avoid this place and go to Wendy s or McDonald s for much better quality. CJ must mean crappy junk.

I found this long time gem while out on a random drive. I ended up going back the next day for the turkey club and roasted red pepper soup because I needed to have it two days in a row! The servers are experienced, mature, and super friendly. Thank you everyone!

Usually, like this place waited 10 mins, got crap table beside door, very noisy ould nearly hear my husband talk. Service was ok, then it became sparce. 40 minutes to get any food tables that came in after us received their food quickly, my drink was alfull. The food was ok. Fries were warm at best. Hubby just loves the 1\2 chicken

Server was friendly and efficient. She made us feel like we were important to her. Food, was excellent, above expectation. Facility is quite nice. All around a great experience.

Had the bacon burger. Awesome. Fresh meat not frozen. Was not expecting that good a burger from a bar and grill place. Great service. Speedy in spite of it being busy. Great waitress.

I have to take more pics...oops sorry folks .My sister took me out for my bday and it was delicious. I had the club trio and I choose roasted red pepper soup and a Ceasar salad. Portions were great. We also had an appetizer..their home made chips with a dipping sauce. They were delicious again. It was a glorious lunch

Good food

Amazing

We were excited to eat there, for our 43 anniversary,we found it a little pricy,the steak my husband ordered for $32 was very grizzly to chew, defently not a triple A steak as they advertise.

Food is always fantastic here. They also have GF options, which is a big plus for us. Service is always great as well.

Im are seal chef and this place is horrible

CJs Tap and Grill clearly missing the wow factor. Not a lot from the tap options, food most of the time is a hit or miss, and the ambiance is just okay, not particularly family-friendly or a sports fans spot. The staff, though, are really friendly and attentive, commendable service. There is a lot of room for improvement, especially with the menu and ambiance, still a decent choice in Cobourg for casual dining.

Good spot to eat

Absolutely, the best burger Ive ever had.

The service is excellent here. The restaurant could use and upgrade especially the patio but the food is good and the service is some Of the best we ve had in Cobourg!

Amazing food and best service! The fajitas were incredible - I highly recommend the steak and chicken combo Great kids menu - my daughter loved the penne (ate the entire thing!). Our server, Jeanette, really made the experience special.

CJs makes the best frozen strawberry daiquiri I have had in Northumberland. My husband and I have always enjoyed the different foods we have tried on the menu. We always have great service.

Nice pub style! Friendly and great food. Prices are not cheap and not overly high. Loaded cheese bread as a starter, felt like it was $5 too much otherwise the menu seems decent, would definitely come back

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns Food

Great outdoor patio !! Their homemade chips are great !!

Good food and service

Fantastic meal for 8 of us!!! Waitress was a hoot!

Great place for a meal at reasonable prices

Great food and great service! Love CJs.

Great food at reasonable prices.

Fun place, excellent service and good food

CJ s Tap and Grill, a local dining spot with great potential, delivers a mixed experience that leaves room for improvement. While the restaurant has some commendable aspects, a facelift and menu overhaul are needed to enhance the overall dining experience. Ambiance and Décor: The interior of CJ s Tap and Grill feels dated and worn. The décor, though once charming, now appears tired and in need of a refresh. The furniture shows signs of wear, and the overall aesthetic could benefit from modern updates. A renovation would breathe new life into the space, making it more inviting and comfortable for diners. Staff and Service: One of CJ s Tap and Grills standout qualities is its friendly and attentive staff. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles and excellent service. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu, quick to accommodate special requests, and always make you feel welcome. Their dedication to customer service is truly commendable and greatly enhances the dining experience. Food and Menu: The menu at CJ s Tap and Grill offers a range of dishes that cater to various tastes. While the food is generally good, it lacks the wow factor that could make it exceptional. Some dishes are hit-or-miss, with certain menu items standing out more than others. A more consistent level of quality and perhaps the introduction of some signature dishes could elevate the culinary offerings. Overall Experience: CJ s Tap and Grill has the potential to be a local favorite, thanks to its friendly staff and decent menu. However, the dated décor and hit-or-miss menu hold it back. A facelift and a freshen up of the menu would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience and attracting more patrons. In conclusion, CJ s Tap and Grill has the foundation for a great dining experience but needs some strategic improvements to reach its full potential. With a refreshed look and menu revamp, it could easily become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike.

Best restaurant in coburg Carly and Mike will take good care of you at the bar!! Food

Food was awful. I had fish and chips and my husband had wings. The fish was dripping with oil and the batter was almost burnt. My husband s wings were extremely dry. I ve been there a few times and the food is mediocre at best except for the French onion soup. That, I can say is pretty good. This was my last time. Not worth the money Saying that, the servers are always friendly and are great. .

Food and drinks were delicious. Amazing and attentive service from the lovely Karina. One of our favourite places! Food

Dinner with work colleagues and the food was so good. Drinks were served quickly and the wait staff were very nice, attentive and frequently checked on our table.

CJS is our go-to restaurant in Cobourg. Its the perfect spot for any kind of dining experience! We had a large gathering in their private room, weve done date night, and family meals too. Its always enjoyable, their menu has a nice variety, and super tasty! I highly recommend the chicken blt sandwich, it is amazing. I wish there were more locations as we no longer live close by, but we manage to stop in when its been too long. Parking: It is located in a busy plaza, however we have never had trouble finding a spot! Kid-friendliness: Staff are super with kids, menu is good!

This place never disappoints! We ve been here many times and tried various menu items, and all were delicious. Good value for money, warm atmosphere and pleasant servers. Tonight our server was Ally, she was very welcoming and friendly. We highly recommend this place!

We celebrated my father-in-laws birthday today at CJs. We were in their private room. Everything was perfect - the servers were attentive and accommodating. Food was tasty with lots of selection. If there was something youd rather have that was not on the menu, they were willing to make adjustments and substitutions to specific food items. The meals were brought out together and - with a party of 13 that was great! Thanks for making our family celebration memorable!

Amazing

We come down from Windsor every other month and we make sure we come here. Excellent food prices and service. Cant wait for our next visit

Accommodated 24 ppl on no notice at 9pm !!

Love CJs I try to go every time Im in town...I now live in London so I dont get enough of it

Rebecca, abrasive , cold, rude, messed up food order and left us alone a long time. Empty glasses and no communication. Took our order and left, brought food, then fixed food then blamed other server for taking missed food. No apology for leaving one person with no meal. Did not check to see if we were ok as another server brought the missing meal, really hard experience. Brought bills and we did not know we were ready to leave yet. Then turned and left with not even a good bye.....such a terrible experience. To spend a night out for dinner she could have tried a little. She threw coasters at us instead of asking them to be passed down. Sad.

Good place to eat....good attitude and customer service....food was good. I recommend this place.

Food is yummy and service is great

The feel of a big chain restaurant with worse food. We tried both CJs and Boston Pizza this weekend and Boston Pizza was hands down the more enjoyable experience. They know how to cook a burger and understand that Greek salad is not bad with iceberg lettuce and baby spinach.

Good food great service

Awesome

Always amazing food and friendly staff. Have been a regular for years. Beef dip and French onion soup were scrumptious.

Nice place for lunch in Cobourg. Friendly, comfortable place, good menu selection. Variety of good beers on tap.

We came in at a quiet time and really enjoyed it. We ordered the pickle chips (a fun dish to share), the black bean burger, and the bourbon burger. The food was delicious, and we didnt feel awful after eating it, like we would at most bar like establishments. We will definitely be coming back.

We had to be in Cobourg for an appointment. Had lunch here. Great service from our server. Everything we ordered was awesome. I had the hot hamburger,my wife had the fish tacos both were very good. Nice spot

Had my mother in laws 83rd birthday party here, our 1 waitress for 23 people was absolutely AMAZING, sorry dont remember her name. The food was fabulous service was fast. Overall a great experience, would recommend.

First visit and it was takeout. Food is very good and plentiful. In the future we will share 1 order of food so as to not waste. Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian melt. Delicious.

First time eating lunch at CJs yesterday. Excellent food, hot off the stove and very fresh! My husband had pulled pork on a bun with fries. The pork was smokey flavor topped with fresh coleslaw. I had the chicken quesadilla. It was amazing. Our server Emma was very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend!

The food here is always fresh and on point.Price point is fair! Plenty of food options choose from

Had a great lunch here, Asian Chicken Salad was so flavorful. I will definitely stop in again.

Great place. Very good food for a reasonable price. Excellent staff.

This visit was good, the previous visit was disappointing.Gave it another try.

Always enjoy CJS. Their loaded garlic bread is unbelievably delicious. The staff is awesome. Great place to have a couple of drinks at the bar and people watch. Today I was there for a birthday party of 8 ladies. We had a blast. Our server Arleigh was exceptional. Vegetarian options: Lots to chose from.

Great service and generous food portions for both adults and kids.

Staff is amazing and so is the food.

Pretty good. Staff were excellent. Food it pretty good for a bar style restaurant

A good meal at a decent price. One of our favorites!!

No food just a couple of heineken

My husband and I were on our way home from visiting and hadnt eaten. Decided to stop at CJs to eat. Wasnt too busy, but service was really slow. I ordered an appetizer of breaded mushrooms. When we got them, they were way overdone and small. The meal took at least 30 min or so, and when I received it, my mashed potatoes were cold inside. Was very disappointed about the whole meal and wished we had gone somewhere else.

Great service and quick to deliver food. Was a little disappointed as the broccoli and pepper steak was supposed to come with chow main type noodles and it was spaghetti noodles. The steak and broccoli had a great taste and sauce just not with those noodles.

Delicious food & great service, nice that it remains independent not a chain restaurant.

Great service and atmosphere

Had the chicken cashew stir fry, it was like they took a jar of sweet and sour sauce and put on stuck together noodles. Was not appetizing.

Amazing food and staff.

Five friends went to CJs for lunch yesterday. We were so impressed with the food and service. Jennifer, our waitress made our visit special. We will definitely be going back. This restaurant is a must if you are eating in Cobourg.

Club sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, as long as you have a companion for the doors. Not sure if the doors are automated. Food : 5/5 |

Great food and experience there everytime

Good food . decent price . Prices going up .

Was hoping for more. Limited menu with average prices. The food was just okay, and the service was good.

The food was pretty good. The wait though was horrible. An hour and a half just for appetizers. 2 hours to get a wrap. No sorry, no explanation.

Have driven by numerous times and glad I finally stopped in.Good food and friendly service.

Delicious!

Love the food pasta is yum.Great service.

Went for lunch today and met up with other family members. Had a nice relaxing drink first and waitress just left us to chat and said just put our menus stacked when ready to order. My sister in law and I, ordered the grilled shrimp spinach salad. It was the best salad Ive had out. Probably ruined me to order anything else, lol, absolutely delicious. Food, service, atmosphere 5 star.

Always a good meal here! Been coming here for years even when it was Caseys. Awesome burgers!

Amazing food and great service!

Fish and chips, mushroom caps,. Veggie sandwich Onion rings. Good food. Good temperature Food : 5/5

CJs has been my go-to dinner spot for a long time. Great food, service, and the prices are reasonable.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great meal. Friendly staff. Food

Great food and service!

Always great service and good

When I first moved to Cobourg, I tried many different restaurants. Nothing has come close to Cjs. From the moment you walk in, youre greeted by someone with a friendly smile and seated very shortly after. The waitresses and waiters are all super friendly and eager to provide quality service. While I havent had every item on the menu, every item I have tried has been delicious, dont think I have ever been disappointed. The Old cheddar bacon burger is one of the best burgers Ive ever had and is one my go-to staples on their menu! My absolute favorite restaurant in cobourg with excellent service and affordable pricing!

Excellent service and great food!!!! Lots to choose from on the menu and the staff here are super friendly!

Decent menu, good service and atmosphere

First time there nice atmosphere and my chicken cesar salad was great

First time here, and it was great! Very good service with knowledgeable staff. Food was fantastic, we will be back!

Food and service were Fantastic! Will be going back soon! Food

We love CJs. All the locals know this one of the best spots in town for an affordable and tasty meal. If were going out for dinner or lunch in Cobourg, we often end up at CJs. I particularly love their club house trio (sandwich, salad and soup) and their Bellini cocktail! My husband really enjoys their Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Every time I go, everyone is pleased with their meal and the service is always friendly.

Food was very good. Service was great. Lots of choices on the menu for all ages. Parking is plentiful. Kid-friendliness: Good choices on the menu just for kids.

Good food, nice servers, and staff

Place is a little run down but the food was good and came hot, they are a Pepsi products establishment we are Coke people but I will take a Rootbeer or a Ginger Ale in a pinch, I had the Sheppards Pie.

Carly, Mike, Katrina, Bessy and Emma. They all rock! You can t go wrong with this place, the food and the atmosphere is great. Very down to earth and great quality food and drafts. I highly recommend!

Nice large family restaurant with good food and service. Menu could definitely use a makeover. Vegetarian options: Veg options Dietary restrictions: Kitchen is accommodating to dietary requests. Parking: Restaurant in strip plaza so lots of parking. Kid-friendliness: Family style restaurant. Kid friendly. Theres always a birthday being celebrated. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

We stopped in for dinner. I havent been here for years and it hasnt changed much. Good food, good service. The restaurant is in desperate need of some renovations and modernization, but thats just me. Good place for the whole family to come to or big groups. Very family friendly Kid-friendliness: Good place to bring the family Wheelchair accessibility: Its easy access

Always our favorite place to go for a great meal and friendly staff

Good selection. Great service!

Another good meal

Best service Owen , was an attentive and such friendly server. Highly recommend. Food was very enjoyable and good selection.

usually too busy for my liking!!..but food is good!

Amazing food.. great service..always happy with our experience Kid-friendliness: Its always kid friendly when Mike is serving you.. Food : 5/5 |

Great variety great prices great service

Excellent salads Great staff and owners

Food is good . Had to wait a bit too long to get the bill and 15% tip was an one of the options recommended, but was calculated on top of the total of the bill including the HST/GST . Not too thrill about that.

Good was good once we got it but service was very slow. Took about an hour just to get our food, wasnt too impressed

We went there for my sisters wedding dinner. The food was excellent, our waitress attentive, and the prices were amazing for the amount and quality of food. I would highly recommend eating out here!!

We have been to this restaurant before and have enjoyed the visit. This last time while the food was delicious the service was very subpar. The server took our drink order and delivered them then literally forgot us, after a twenty five minute wait we flagged another server who took our food order, the thing is the restaurant was not busy!! The original server came over and admitted she had forgot us, so after a almost half hour waiting to place the order then another long period of time to get the food we were not happy customers. Undecided if we will return to CJs tap and grill.

Went there on a Friday night. It was busy but service was fast and the food was good. Consistency throughout the years keeps bringing me back. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu with suitable options.

CJs Tap and Grill is the most incredible restaurant I have ever visited in my entire life, their food is exquisite and tasteful and its an amazing place to visit with friends and family. Parking: Awesome

12 of us went to CJS after Hockey and Michelle took Great care of us! The Food was Awesome too!

Amazing food, friendly wait staff. Would definitely recommend and come again. Food

Great food, great staff

Seated and then waited over 15 minutes for a waitress . Then we had to ask for a drink menu . She gave us the wine and coctail list . Waited another 10 mins and then just left. Horrible service, other customers looked like they were fed up with waiting as well. Menu looked basic, which is sad cause this used to be a nice restaurant.

Our family comes here a lot. The food is always great, the prices are goood especially for the portion sizes. The staff are amazing! Never had bad service and they are always polite, professional and quick. If you re looking for a place to eat you win t be disappointed!

Place was very busy, but service was excellent. Food came out very fast, and was perfect. Our server, Michelle, did a fantastic job. I will not hesitate to return and recommend this restaurant.

Went here on Saturday for dinner and drinks with friends. We had a great time. Service was fantastic, and prices were great. Highly recommend. We will be back for hockey season.

Excellent service.

Had the chicken and pasta. Chicken was good, but pasta was tasteless, and I didnt eat it.

Great food and service at a reasonable price.

Salad was too wet it drowned out the dressing, so there was very little flavor.

Mediocre restaurant .

Great experience! Bar steward was an amazing server! He made our visit a riot! Every establishment should have servers like this! The flatbread, half club trio and the wings were perfect! And the butterfly potatoes are a must have! Food

Good food, quick, friendly service. Reasonable pricing. Went for lunch twice. Everything we ate was hot and brought out to our table in a timely manner. Would recommend and will go back for sure. Black bean burger is yum! Food

Tipped our waitress what I thought was a fine tip. $12 on a $80 bill. She walked away with an upset look and we didnt even get a thank you or a good night. Left an extra $5 out of pure guilt. Awkward to say the least. Service wasnt even that good... tip culture needs to go extinct. Pay your employees properly so I dont have to feel so guilty when they dont get enough money.

Went in for a quick dinner and they delivered. The food and service was fantastic.

Best mojito Ive ever had. Ask the bartender of the year, Mike for one

Best mushroom swiss burger around.

The burger bun was full size but the burger was about the size of a slider. We sat left of the kitchen entrance in the corner booth with all the spiders webs and cocoons ( stuck where the wall meets the ceiling). I dont know what to say about the portion other than it was barely enough to eat. The lack of cleaning is pretty bad and a real turn off. This place is DIRTY.

Great place to go for food. Everything was great when I was there a couple of weeks ago and the atmosphere is great as well. Thank you. Parking: It s a large parking lot with popular businesses in that plaza. You should have no problem finding a parking spot for CJ s. Wheelchair accessibility: My brother is disabled, and use the walker to get in and out no problems

Nice place for a bite and to socialize!

Food was very good service was great

Everything was as good as it could be.
