Cj's Pizza And Pasta - Rhinebeck

We stopped here for a quick dinner with the kiddos and was pleasantly surprised by the value and quality of the food we got. Our waitress was Kristine and she was nice and quick. We were seated right away and the restaurant is kid friendly with a doodle sheet and kids menu. We were served with bread and soft butter for the table shortly after seating. The kids menu came with a drink and ice cream and prices ranged between $4-8. We ordered Mac n cheese and speghetti and meatballs for the kids. The apple juice that came with the meal was a nice size cup, not those small kids cups. The dishes were also big enough to have leftovers. The Mac n cheese is ziti with a white cream sauce, not the Craft box Mac n cheese. My kid liked it. As for the speghetti and meatballs, the meatballs were the big size meatballs, so it was plenty for my daughter. For entrees, we ordered White clam sauce with fettuccine and calamari with spicy marinara sauce. They came with soup or salad. The food was decent, but nothing to rave about... 3 stars for the food, but overall experience and value earned this place another star. Nice place for a family meal (with plenty of leftovers) that won't break your bank!

My buddy and I walk weekly at a local state park then have lunch at CJ's. The food has really never been great but we enjoyed the waitresses who worked there. The last three times we were there the experience was horrible. The place is being run very poorly. The very last time we were there they had no waitress and the food was barely mediocre. Not recommended at all. We just went to Pete's Famous and had an outstanding lunch for comparable price.

I honestly don't understand the low reviews here. I've been coming to Cj's since I was a kid myself and now I enjoy taking my own kids here. You don't get glitz, glam or fancy foods. What you do get is great food at a reasonable price in a non stuff atmosphere, cold beer and we've always had very personable servers! Go to foods here are pizza with (chicken, eggplant, RRP) calamari, wings, fried ravioli and bread sticks with cheese.

My husband and I stopped at CJ's. To have some dinner, I ordered the baked ziti. And he had lasagna, we also had onion soup, the soup was very weak, and the ziti for me was that it was over cooked. The sauce was great the next time I go there I think I'll just get a Pizza.

Always a good choice for pizza or chicken parm sandwich ! Last time I was in William was tossing a pizza in the air ... He has the skills for it too! prices are reasonable too .
