CJ Blacks - Happy hour - Bars Near Me - Davie, Florida

I met up with a friend here but did not eat. I only ordered a beer. The beer was cold and so was the service. The bartender never really spoke to us. It was almost awkward. This place has a really lively atmosphere. It is very loud and boisterous. Prices seemed reasonable. I have heard the burger is good. I might come back for that earlier in the day to try it. Parking is a real mess in their direct parking lot. There is another lit you can park in as well. read more

Excellent grouper Reuben--- bartender split it for us with fries on 2 plates. Great happy hour wine!!

CJ Blacks is very consistent with food and service, Anna our waitress was on point and kept up with our party of 12 super good . My wife had a great birthday dinner and everyone was very impressed. Thanx also to Skyler the hostess up front for putting together a large party quickly!! The live music is awesome and fun to listen to , ( they might consider just a little lower volume as we found it hard to talk amongst ourselves... but they were very good to listen to ) Thanx CJ Blacks for a great time and other family that we have recommended to try have been extremely impressed also .. DONT FORGET TO HAVE THEIR CARROT CAKE and The Chocolate cake is just as good , the best you will ever ever ever have !! Thanx again Anna you made our night extra special. !!! Let me add : The 1.5 LB PRETZEL WAS YUMMY as well as the loaded potato skins , Both were a big hit .... read more

Having been to CJ Blacks before, and not having the greatest experience, I decided to give it another try. The food we had ended up being pretty good, but the service was just all right. We sat at the bar, and it took forever to get service and items out to us. When another bartender started helping us out things got a little bit better, but overall it was meh. Another tip is not to go on Friday evenings if you don't want obnoxious crowds because it looks like this is a hotspot for after work happy hours on Fridays. Luckily we got there later on in the evening when it was dying down, but it was still kind of annoying. And I'm somebody who can put up with a lot of annoying. Food wise, we got a few items. We got the French dip, flatbread, pizza, and potato skins. I feel like it's a little pricey for what you're getting but it's not a huge complaint. The food did come out tasty. Would I go back, maybe. But this isn't a place that I would seek out. read more

Amazing bourbon selection!! Rivals most bourbon bars. Live music great atmosphere on the edge of Davie. Food is always amazing when I come here. Just be careful when asking for bourbon samples they give it to you and have you compare it to something else. But those guys know their stuff. Food portions are huge. Spinach artichoke dip is enough for 3-4 people steaks cooked to perfection. Love this place will definitely be back read more

The food and service in this place is just nostalgic. No better way to describe the wholesale service and quality of food that this place has. I love their onion rings for appetizer or the enormous bang shrimp and the fish dip... delicious... seriously. My go to. Their drinks are consistently great. I explored the passion fruit margarita and their blueberry and they were both perfect. Not too sweet just in case. Not enough for a headache. Their burger were huge.... So I opted for their steak salad (medium) and it was spot on. read more

Don't really understand why this place is always busy. Extremely mediocre food that is not worth the price. Rice was undercooked and was more than likely microwaved. Broccoli was mush. The brisket was old and looked honestly like dog food. Reminder this place averages about $25-30 per person for food. I'd rather go to Texas roadhouse for less money or J Alexander's for the same price. I will say our server was really nice and did address our concerns but unfortunately she can't make the food taste better. Maybe just a nice place to grab a drink and listen to the band but there's better places out there for that too! read more

We came to this restaurant for the first time and instead of sitting in a booth we decide to sit near the bar since we found a nice spot. Michael was our bartender and he did an amazing job. The drinks were on point and the food was amazing. Finally, we get to go to a restaurant that we're not disappointed. Thank you very much for your services Michael and for the crew we will continue to come back keep up the good work read more

Had a great experience at CJ Blacks! Started with a warm welcome from Anna...She was professional, friendly, and on top of everything. If I could give her more stars, I would! Yummy food, as well. We will be back! read more

I thought this place was pretty good until I ordered from them w/delivery. The Brussels came burnt with no sauce on them. Then I also ordered a sandwich with it (chicken) came with bacon on it,I don't eat pork! When I called to let them know they told me that since I used Uber there was nothing they could do. It's still there restaurant with their quality of food being put out. The manager on duty was extremely rude didn't want to try & help resolve the issue at all. I will never order there again! I suppose that may be one of the reasons not one restaurant has survived in that location. I might as well just driven through McDonal's, it would have been cheaper & I probably would've read more

Some Flies outside drove us in. The host seemed totally clueless about how to make the transition happen for us. The bus boy was really kind and helped us move all our plates of food and even brought a new coloring sheet for our daughter. The food was okay. The gluten free flatbread was good, but they left the basil off our our Margherita and brought some small strips in a bowl. Our kid liked the burger. The fries weren't great. read more

I really have tried to like this place and I think I've given it enough of a chance to come back from previously poor experiences. They're just too inconsistent. Between poor service and waiting forever to be waited on as well as the food just being too hit and miss I can't in good faith recommend CJ blacks. Did an Uber Eats order maybe a week or so ago. The food just wasn't that great. My steak was raw.... Asked for a medium, it was that deep red color and was cold. Which was interesting because part only a small portion of the end was cooked. I'm not sure how that happened but at least 10% of my steak was good... Ordered wings half half honey and minced garlic. They were okay, nothing to really write home around. The Chowder tasted strange to me, nothing like a foul taste but just wasn't good. The chicken tender meal was nothing to right home about either. I just wish they weren't so hit and miss. read more

Great American food menu options, and some sushi favorites. Live music on weekends. Welcoming atmosphere. Good for kids or even small groups if you're looking for something casual and a little different. Separate small bourbon bar in back. Average prices. Nice experience. read more

Food-wise, CJ Blacks always hits the spot! They have such a wide-ranging menu, from burgers to sushi, and everything is delicious. My personal go-to favorites include their French onion soup, which I honestly think is the best I've ever had, and their spinach dip--it's always hot, tasty, and full of flavor. On my last visit, I tried the farmhouse burger with a lamb patty, and I have to say, it was fantastic! Every time I visit, the food is consistently a 10 out of 10. However, the reason I'm rating this so low has to do with the service. Despite the food being top-notch, the service leaves much to be desired. The servers never seem particularly happy to be there, and they're often not the friendliest or most attentive. I've been here over five times, and I can't recall a single instance where the service was great--well, except for that one time I sat at the bar. The ambience is nice, kind of like a local pub with a regular crowd, and the place is always clean, which I appreciate. Honestly, if management could focus on improving the service, this place would be so much better. With the food already on point, a little attention to the customer experience would make a huge difference. read more

Our waitress was nice and funny and real-definitely a highlight. The giant pretzel was huge, soft, fresh and definitely a conversation starter based on its size. I appreciated that it came with a second dip besides just the usual cheese, as we had lactose intolerant people at our table. I was deciding between two different sandwiches, and ended up getting the Mona Lisa since it was designated on the menu as a CJ Black's favorite. I was also excited to have some of my favorite flavors all together in one sandwich. The serving size was huge and the chicken was cooked well, but the sandwich was pretty dry and had a surprising lack of flavor for all of the different ingredients. I think the chicken breading could've used more seasoning, and it definitely needed more sauce. read more

Had not been there in years, but decided to go last night. My wife keeps telling me that their burgers are super so I figured I'd try one. But first we had to bang bang shrimp their version, really really good. They were just really big shrimp and it was very good. The cheeseburger was cooked exactly the way I ordered it however it lacked in flavor it basically had no seasoning on it. The bun was soft and the vegetables were fresh. My wife had a loaded baked potato and a salad, and they were both very good. It was a nice night so we sat outside and it was a lot quieter than it was inside. Jordan, the server was very good and attentive. read more

Hit this Cj Blacks for an early happy hour and sat at the rear bar and grabbed a cold MIA Miami Weiss beer and the girls got edamame. Both were great. Their happy hour runs from 11a - 7p. Think im gonna get some sushi from their incredible sushi bar. read more

Service was slow. Asked for a wine menu which had no prices listed. My husband ordered a 'Piggy' burger (pulled pork). Half way through he noticed wax paper stuck to the cheese. (Probably to separate the cheese slices). Waitress apologized, told the kitchen manager & said she would take it off the check. (Which she did.) Not once did a manager stop by to apologize. As a former restaurant GM, I would have not only visited the table, but would have comped any other items the guest had with their meal. Not the customer service I would expect! read more

I have nothing bad to say. Keep it short and simple food was good. Ambience was better. If definitely be back.

The ambience of this place is fun and they have live music, and the service is really good. But the food is honestly terrible. Like really bad. I think the food has gone downhill over the years. We won't be back. UNLESS you have the sushi. That's good stuff. read more

A Beautiful Place for a Beautiful Celebration September 4th, about 60 family members and friends gathered at CJ Black's on the patio for a Celebration of Life in honor of a very special lady. From the moment I first called to make a reservation, to the moment we left, every person we encountered was kind, supportive, and genuinely caring. I want to share why I chose this restaurant. Back in May, we were here for another Celebration of Life for a dear friend. I was so impressed by how smoothly everything went--serving a large group of around 50 with grace, efficiency, and warmth. Our waitress that evening, Ana, stood out immediately. She made us feel special, remembered every drink order, and moved with such care and professionalism. I knew I needed Ana there for my Celebration Party And once again, Ana did not disappoint. Along with Kevin, the two of them made the evening truly seamless. Their attention to detail, kindness, and calm presence meant so much to all of us. They weren't just serving us--they were part of the celebration. A heartfelt thank you to the whole team at CJ Black's: * Alana, the owner - thank you for welcoming us with such warmth. * Melissa, who helped coordinate our reservations - your support made planning this so much easier. * And of course, Ana and Kevin - not just our waitress and waiter, but a true part of our evening. It was an honor to have you with us. ... And yes, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious as always! Try Kevin's Blueberry Muffin Shots!! read more

It's hit or miss here. They keep changing the wine menu. When they have delicious wine on happy hour I like to come back. Sometimes they have cheap wine and I don't appreciate the taste for the price. The food is good but service is slow. Most times I have to request my food or drink a few times. Not sure if it's the bar or the server who is forgetting. I usually don't pick this restaurant anymore because it's so inconsistent. Prices have gone way up too. Not worth it for now. read more

We have been coming in there pretty much since it opened. As it has gotten pretty well known in the area, it has gotten crowded and for good reason. We used to frequent this place enough that the staff knew us. ha! we avoid it now during the busiest times (Friday/Saturday nights). However, we still love CJs. Pros: - the food is amazing. I think in all the years we have been going, there was only ONE thing I ordered that I didn't care for. - the SUSHI IS THE BEST!!! I prefer CJ's sushi bar over any others I've tried in the area. - the burgers are ridiculously good - my personal favorite is the Sonoma burger - the bourbon bar!!! - My husband says they have the best ribs compared even to some of the best places that tout their ribs in the area (not naming names cuz we like them too!) - Staff is great - Beer selection is great - The variety in the main menu plus the specials is great because no matter what you are in the mood for, you can find SOMETHING to eat there. Great steaks, great burgers, great sushi, great appetizers, etc. Seafood. They have a ton of options. - Long time duo that does live music on the weekends are they are great!! Cons: - Can get a lil rowdy late nights on the weekends - Can be a little pricey (prices have gone up since COVID) - It is potentially loud during high traffic times so if you want an intimate, quiet dinner, sit outside. It's the acoustics in the building. I wouldn't let any of the above deter you. I recently took a friend who had never been and she was equally impressed. It is really is probably the best restaurant in Davie! read more

The food. The drinks the service are great Have been eating there since grand opening at least one time a week

I wanted to like this place, but I don't like to be lied to. Food and drinks were good, but don't like or appreciate being taken advantage of. If the menu says a price I assume that is the price ‍. We brought up the issue to management and no resolution, zero, no compromise. We are just going to charge you $41 more than what the menu says. Not even going into the nickel and dime differential in the food items ‍. Lastly, it is so loud inside you can't have a conversation. In Short, won't be returning. read more

I did takeout from CJ Blacks and wanted something a bit healthier. Their house salad with blackened salmon was the perfect option!

WOW what a scam to hustle customers. VERY DECEIVING! Suggesting $18 on a 79.18 bill is a terrible way to trick customers (after tax which means the tip should be actually lower). The 20% tip on $79.18 is $15.84. A few dollars all day long adds up to thousands of dollars per day! read more
