The Garden of the Gods sandwich was amazing. Everything on it was so fresh. Sweet potato fries were the bomb. Oh and Wills Bloody Mary was perfection.

I wanted to like this place, really did. The first few times we went, we got ok burgers and sandwiches with great service. 3/5 stars. We returned and tried the steaks for dinner which were horrendous (cheap cuts of meat and not even close on the temp). Well, won’t try the steaks again.Today we returned for lunch because the kids like it and we decided to make a pit stop. Here’s where the fun begins-After about 10 minutes in the joint we get to ordering drinks. I order a hazy IPA and receive a red ale. Not a huge deal because I do like red ales and decided to settle rather than send our friendly server back. The girls order sodas and get the news that the CO2 is out, so- lemonades. Mom orders a medium mushroom burger….. but they’re out of mushrooms. So, she instead orders a medium well cheeseburger. I order the Baja fish tacos and the kids get mac n cheese and a second cheeseburger. Both burgers come out medium rare, my Baja fish tacos come with zero cilantro (can only assume they’re out of that too), overcooked like chewy chicken and their rice “pilaf” is white rice with canned tomatoes. The excuse for the lack of ingredients is they got slammed over the weekend (St. Paddy’s)….. well it’s Tuesday and you guys are quite literally right next door to a grocery store with produce.If this isn’t all enough already, the CO2 magically appears and so do the kids original soda orders on top of their lemonades. Yay more sugar. No offers on refilling the adults beverages though.We struggle to eat our trash can meals, and decide to get the kids a few of their fudge Sundays. Nope, they bring out 2 giant brownie Sundays which not only did we not order but cost twice as much. The sweetest part of the Sundays was one of the kids found a nice big hair in hers.I don’t complain for discounts or remakes. I typically tip 30-40% on our meals as I spent the better part of a decade working in food service. I chose to let this one ride and see just how bad it could get. It got that bad. And the thing that ticked me off the most is that I still left a 10 dollar tip for the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in my 5 years of living in Colorado.I hope the owner(s) of CJ’s don’t reach out to “make it right”, because if they can’t even get a handle on their restaurant or have standards, don’t bother. We won’t be back.120 bucks for lunch for a family of 4 was hilarious for that kind of food quality, regardless of the 4 beers ordered between 2 adults. We will speak with our wallets elsewhere.P.S.- beer is cold and fries were alright. Welcome to Mcgraffs where the ranch is the best thing on the menu.

Alright, I decided to do a review after my second time coming to redeemed CJs. Yes, this is the one that was on bar rescue. I guess it's a cute way of starting conversations if you decide to go here on date. On to the review!I extremely love the ambiance of the restaurant, especially being a former 3rd shifter. There are no blinding lights here. I went at 1 pm and 6 pm, one on the spur of the moment, the other actually planning to go. Both times were not that busy, so I enjoy knowing I can go here and enjoy my time. I was greeted the first time of coming, I think my waiter was the bartender. But he was nice and Hayleigh was nice during my 2nd time.I thoroughly love the drinks. They do carry pepsi products for those who are not the drinking type of people. For those who are, the drinks are fabulous! I am an avid fan of bourbon and whiskey, so congrats to bartenders who make the whiskey mules. The Iowa mule personally is my favorite. Yes, they were consistent, so 5 out of 5. The fuzzy pixi was good and tasted like a baja blast! So that was fun. They do have a wide variety of alcohol, and I rarely order specialized orders. But for those who like that, there you go. I will say the alcohol pairs very well with the food, and I shall go into details in for the food.I can not express the sparks of love I have for the food here. 1st time, we started with the firecracker shrimp; which has quite a crunch, and it's perfectly cooked for me. The burgers are awesome here. I would say they have the lightest buns in Loveland. It's also toasty for those who enjoy texture. I devoured my burger because I ordered medium rare, and it's one of the best burgers I've had in Loveland. I am fiend for the fries here, despite being steak fries. They crunchy are consistently fried. I had the mushroom swiss burger, and my fiance had the jalapeños burger. The ranch is savory and tasted house made.The 2nd time: we had the sampler. It was so good. I will say a few chips were burnt it's not enough to lose a star over. The wings were moist, crunchy, and everything I look for in wings. I will say the firecracker wings are not as good as the shrimp. It's great and now I know for upcoming times I go there. Chicken tenders are mediocre. They were the only part of the sampler I was not a fan of. Though the drinks at least make the tenders great for snacking on so on the aspect of a bar hopper, it's great. The salsa is good, tastes very zesty, and has pico in it, I assume. The bread roll I had was very fluffy and tasted great both on its own and with the blackened salmon. Veggies were perfectly cooked, with a crunch, so there were no soggy vegetables in this review. The rice pilaf is where the food loses its star along with the other infractions. I don't expect much, but it tasted artificial and had additives in it. I personally was not a fan. I am going to tear up over the brownie. Even thinking about it makes me want to run over to CJs and get one. I did not think the brownie could get any better than I got a corner brownie! I have never seen my fiance like sweets, so superb rating for the brownie with ice cream. It's inviting warm and chilled with a little bit of whipped cream. Also, it is a great way to end your dinners. I am intrigued by the cobblers, so maybe a 3rd smaller review for those will be in order. Overall food in 4 out of 5 stars. Drink 5 out of 5 stars.Hope you liked my review, and thanks for reading for those who made it this far.
We knew what we wanted - nachos - and were like, "CJ's seems like a place that would have good nachos". Correct! Not only were our beef nachos and chicken nachos quite delicious, the service was friendly and good. The restaurant itself has a good vibe and seems to be well maintained. There are plenty of TVs and it looks like a fun place to watch a game, too. Maxline Dry Irish Stout beer was good, but not great; that only means we'll have the pleasure of trying another of the many choices at CJ's next time.

Came back into this place because I live just around the corner and there’s still good vibes. Stefen greet me from behind the bar with a smile. They’ve got a great selection of drinks I was just getting out because I was getting my brakes done and this was the perfect spot to spend a drink and soak up the chill, relaxed, and friendly atmosphere.I ordered the chocolate milk out during happy hour, and it was only six bucksI’d recommend this place to anyone in the area that wants a place to have a drink

I had a most amazing experience here today; we are in town from Illinois visiting family and we wanted to have brunch. I have pork allergies and the menu did not have turkey or chicken sausage options (I'm eggs & sausage guy). I would have gladly made something else work but the owner quickly offered to run to the store and bring in turkey sausage for me, WOW! Great food, outstanding service, great value! This place is definitely worth a visit!

The smell is the first thing I notice. It does not smell like food cooking, it smells like sanitation.. which I'm all for a clean restaurant, but the whole place smells like Cleaning chemicals.The food is average at best. Beer is nice and cold. Service has always been good there for us. We have been there maybe 5 times in the 7 years we have lived close by. We are picky about food so maybe others would give it a 4, but in my book it's just ok. Some stuff is homemade and is good, other stuff lacks flavor and is nothing special. You could do worse.

I feel so fortunate to live close to this stellar restaurant. For many years, my friends and family have enjoyed their eclectic menu and fantastic customer service. The environment is inviting, comfortable, and their food is delicious! We are lucky to have CJ's as an eating establishment in Loveland.
