Delicious and timely. Friendly and food arrived quickly. I prefer takeout. Pineapple upside down cake is good and traditional.

Most Manly Sandwich Ever Created By A Woman was rather tall. They stick two onion rings inside the sandwich so you can't possibly get it all in your mouth. The brisket on the sandwich wasn't that great. I'm not sure it was house smoked. The slaw and sauce are amazing though. They put enough sauce on it that you can dip your fries in it as well. It has a good kick but not too hot. 3.5 Stars California burger was good. It comes with two prawns on the top which don't really go with the burger at all, but I will never turn away extra prawns. It needs a signature sauce to go with it, the pico isn't enough. 4 Stars The restaurant has an unobstructed view of the bay which is gorgeous at sunset. You can't get a better view! Service was fine. I had no complaints. read more

After a long day of beach combing and hiking, we were not sure which of the many restaurants on Birch Bay to choose. Our fellow Yelper's were spot on with his recommendation! The staff was very kind, the drinks were delicious and the entres were AWESOME! We had the fish tacos and one of their hamburgers/ DELICIOUS!! Loved, loved the wait staff!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

We alway eat here when we're in the area. Vast majority of the time the food is amazing but the service can be hit or miss. My favorite place to get a french dip and the cream Brulé is amazing! read more

We came here for lunch while vacationing for our anniversary. It was very good. We got the fish and chips which were delicious! We started with a ceasar salad and the crab cakes. I HIGHLY recommend the crab cakes!! To finish off we got the pineapple upside down cake which was divine! Will absolutely come here again! read more

One of the few restaurants we found that was opened. Even though the restaurant wasn't crowded, only the patio area, we had quite the wait to get a table. It was also quite the wait for the food as well. The waitress we had was nice though read more

We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! Fish and Chips included a very generous portion of fish. Brisket sandwich was so tasty. Salmon BLT was the least impressive while still being very good. And the fries which came which each entree were probably the best fries I've had in a decade. read more

Slow service, waited over an hour for a burger and crab cakes The food was average at best read more

Food was great. I had the beer battered prawn and cod with fries. Pretty tasty and was fresh. My husband had the Caesar salad, and to our surprise, adding chicken was an additional $10.95. Wowza. The simple chicken Caesar ended up being a $24 salad. Oh well. Our fault for not taking a closer look at the menu. That's pretty much our only complaint. My kids said they had the best chicken tenders, and they're picky about their chicken tenders lol. Everything else was great, especially the service. Our server Kyler was very attentive and genuinely polite. Ambiance is alright. At first when we entered, there was a slight sewer smell, almost turned as away. But the smell didn't carry through the dining area, thank goodness. The view of the water doesn't get old. Location is amazing. read more

The fish and chips were awesome. Huge portions expertly cooked. The sunset entertained us and the waitress was superb. We were there Friday night and they were super busy, but the staff were so kind and friendly that we did not mind the wait. Just relax and wait some more! read more

Went the other night and I asked if I could have a sandwich (that is 18$) with no cheese, were told no, so we left. Waiter told us to blame the owner, I felt bad for him. I said, yeah I am not mad, just leaving. read more

The host ryan was super kind and gave me and my wife a great experience and the service was great

I have never had worse service and anything that came close was ALWAYS remedied. Not tonight! My son and I went in this afternoon when the "lull" was (or at least that's what the person said when I called.). We ordered ONE burger to split and waited. We noticed that at least 7 tables after us were served while we waited. I was told they'd buy whatever my drink was, for the inconvenience. That didn't happen. When we FINALLY got our order, it was a decent burger but we had to wait another length of time for tartar sauce which I'd asked for when we originally ordered. They said they were "working" on a discount for our trouble. We didn't get one. The manager was NOT the manager (her words) and she said the owner would not even come talk to us. We got no discount . . . nothing. read more

Best bartenders ever! Micah, Colby, David, Carla!!! Reason??? They're engaging and make us want to stay and spend money! Oh my! How devious of them! LOL! Great NEW happy hour as well. Support local. Cheers! read more

Service was just ok. Saturday early afternoon and the first few things we ordered were not in stock. The main thing about this place that blows my mind is that the kitchen will not allow ANY changes. I'm not talking high maintenance stuff like trying to completely change their menu. I'm talking asking them to not sprinkle bacon on the Caesar salad. Server said the kitchen would refuse. My friend hates coleslaw and asked to exclude it from his plate. NOPE! Server said kitchen can't do that. I understand no substitutions to a certain extent- but no exclusions? That's just bad form and poor service. Religious and/or dietary needs be damned! ...and don't get me started on the prices. $20 hamburger. VWill not return. read more

Cj's is awesome! The staff is great and the food was yummy. I love that they have vegetarian and vegan options while having traditional foods as well. A great place for good food. read more

Horrible service please allow me to give some examples. While waiting for a table we decided to sit in the bar. Our order was two Arnold Palmers and a tap beer. The bar tender explained no tap beer due to the fact she had no clean glasses. Said she could possibly make the A.P.'s We never were asked if we needed anything more from the bartender. When asked if we could transfer our drink ticket to our dinner service she stated that wasn't possible. When finally seated 45 minutes later we sat for 10 minutes then we were asked if f we needed to see a menu. After our orders arrived we were asked if we needed silverware or napkins. We stated yes we needed silverware to eat our meal and would appreciate a napkin. Our server never returned with either. I have never left a negative review. read more

We needed fish and chips. They have fish and chips. Their sign said "Best fish and chips". Figured it was worth a shot. Had the fish and chips. They were very good. Awesome that they let us bring our dog on the patio to dine with us. Service was very nice but really slow. $62 for two orders of fish and chips, two beers and tip. Not sure it was worth $62. read more

Went on a busy Sunday night... Ordered the Salmon BLT... Service was OK..but the "sandwich" was so dry I needed a beer to even get started.... Took 2 bites and decided it wasn't worth it... Told the server and was simply met with "Well...I can make you another"... Seriously...If they couldn't make it right the first time, why would I order another.? Didn't get an "I'm sorry" or a comp or anything... My fault for ordering salmon on bread anyway!...What was I thinking? read more

The main thing going for this restaurant is its proximity to the bay and a spacious deck area (though we ate inside, we could still enjoy the view). Our waitress was attentive and personable. There were a fair bit of older ladies enjoying lunch inside as well. I ordered a very delicious Mediterranean flatbread with zesty hummus, beats that made me realize I like beats, and flavorful red onions. The avocados were especially beautiful. Even my partner who does not like avocado admitted it was good. He ordered the "most manly sandwich ever made by a woman." The brisket was good, the horseradish was mild in the cheese, and the pineapple salsa could have been played up a bit more. All in all, worth stopping by. read more

I have been going to CJ's for years, enjoying great food. However, last night, Shannon, the bartender, was rude, mostly because she was not aware of even the elementary knowledge about serving wine. She wouldn't even listen to one comment. How could an experienced server/bartender be so ignorant? read more

Please teach your staff on how to properly wear a MASK!!! Wearing it below your nose doesn't help protect me or any other Customers. There is a Virus going around and I or my family and friends do not want to get sick because your staff doesn't want to abide by the CDC Guidelines! Unfortunately,you are our Favorite dining spot in Birch Bat and it looks like we'll be looking elsewhere for Dining! To anyone who is concerned about Covid-19... I would suggest somewhere else to eat for the safety of you and your family. read more

2 huge slabs of beer battered cod and excellent fries. Price a bit high and food including tasty crab cakes was a bit tepid or they would easily get another star from me. In their defense, we were only 1 of 2 clients on the outdoor deck with gorgeous view of the bay on a nice October evening. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again. read more

Great folks. Relatives came down to visit from Canada and we hung out all day and chatted. The staff was friendly and accommodating to allow us to visit for hours and didn't try to run us off!!! Love you guys for that!!! Now the food... The garlic butter prawns were insanely good!! The crab cakes were moist and soft. The steak wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. Thanks for being courteous to my family read more

Around the corner from Semiahmoo, Birch Bay can seem on first blush like a rather downmarket beachfront community that is hoping for a 'bump' that will never come. Nonetheless, it as a certain comfortable appeal, as it lacks the frenetic trendiness of a LaConner or Langley. You can also find some real 'diamonds-in-the-rough' here, and CJ's Beach House is one of those... THE ROSES: The restaurant just exudes the right atmosphere! It fairly SCREAMS 'Beach Joint'! While it is well-maintained and clean, you can tell it is a lot older than it looks. Most of the tables have a superb view of Birch Bay. It turns out it is a roadhouse that dates back over a century, and was even once a bordello! I'm not saying it's haunted, but some of the staff suggest that earlier employees never left, ifyouknowwhatImean! We were here for breakfast, and while nothing was that fancy, they really shone in service and execution of their dishes; hearty, filling, and generous portions. Many items that lesser restaurants would simply get off a SYSCO truck are made from scratch here. THE THORNS: They either need to inspect their dishwasher or not fill it so full; much of our cutlery wasn't that clean; otherwise, a great job! TOP TIP: (to management): Add a 'Captain's Platter' of deep-fried seafood and chips to your menu; that's the one obvious hole in your offerings, and if you make it as good as you do everything else, I may well haunt you as surely as your other alleged resident ghosts! THE VERDICT: CJ's Beach House is a blue-collar roadhouse that is seriously punching well above its weight class; by all means check them out!! read more

Everything was awesome! Great food, outside seating with sunset view of the bay, and friendly prompt service by Mika H!

We had an amazing meal for our wedding anniversary. Crab cakes, oyster shooters, spicy garlic prawns and clam chowder. It was a beautiful lunch on the patio facing the water. We will definitely be back! read more

This place has nothing to write home about. I stoped here since it had a really nice view. The food was over priced for the quality. I had the mahi tacos, it had no flavor whatsoever, bland fishy mess really, two tacos for $20. My wife had the Mac with lobster, the dish was ok I guess but not worth $20 for the few pieces of lobster it had. Each dish is really worth about $10 a piece. read more

Very good chowder and the fish and chips were very tasty as well. Nice view of the bay while we ate.

This is a really nice restaurant. Great fish and chips and shrimp and chips. Nice view of the bay. And the prices are very good especially for the location. I really highly recommend this read more

CJ's Beach House - This is half of Fish and chips and half of a blue cheeseburger. The food here is delicious. The prices are very good. Beautiful view - Seafood Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Excellent fish and chips. Todd was our server he was very attentive. Atmosphere was perfect. We sat outside the breeze was nice.

Service was excellent. Our server was on top of everything and was very friendly. Food quality is really good. We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered garlic shrimp, Caesar salad, and a burger. All were great. Bathrooms need updating and more maintenance but other than that it was a great experience. read more

To begin with, I had clam chowder, which was some of the best clam chowder ever. And I am a clam chowder lover. My entrée was the salmon which was wild. Beautiful presentation, excellent taste, over fresh vegetables that were perfectly done. The wait staff was very gracious, and I know we will be back. Thank you for excellent service and food! read more

Excellent fish and chips--crispy outside and seasoned well on the fish. The chips are deliciously seasoned thin fries-- perfectly fried. The side of coleslaw was the perfect accompaniment to the entire dish. We will def be going back! The drive from Bellingham was only forty minutes to sit on the bay and enjoy the water view and the warm sunshine! read more

Pretty forgettable food and drinks. Nice parking lot! High prices. Go across the road to Bay Breeze!

Best Fish n Chips and the Baby Back Ribs are smoked and falling off the bone, they were absolutely delicious! The fries were perfect tasting with a nice crunch on the outside yet soft inside... we will definitely be back, when in town! Loved every bite! Sophia you did not disappoint :) thank you! read more

Food was decent, however service was incredibly slow for not being very busy. The server Davidforgot to write down my and my wife's order and had to ask me if I ordered anything after bringing the rest of our groups food. Everyone was almost done with their plates by the time mine came out. No offer for any sort of a comp. He also disappeared for large periods of time, forgot refills, didn't give silverware, and we had to go up front to pay because the server was nowhere to be found. I would not recommend this place. read more

Great meal with a great view service was fantastic and my husband loved the lobster mac and cheese. I had the brisket sandwich and the only thing I would have done differently if I were making it myself was grill the bread. Next time I'm in town I will request that! read more

Warning - if you look at this restaurant's 1 and 2 star reviews, you will see that they have a long history of nickel and diming their customers. I brought 4 ladies there to celebrate a 60th birthday lunch. The restaurant was empty. Two of the ladies wanted to share a sandwich and fries because they have smaller appetites. When we ordered, we were informed that the split plate fee is 3.50$. We were obviously surprised and asked if we would have been charged if one lady ate nothing and the other ordered the plate? The waiter said no, but now that he knew they were splitting he had to charge the 3.50 for the extra napkins and washing the extra plate. He said the management got angry when he didn't charge this. We asked if we could forgo the second plate - but no - it was 3.50$. My friend was too embarrassed after that conversation to walk out.. The food was ok and the view is great. But nothing could overcome the bad taste of poor customer service. Also - this is a terrible policy for the wait staff - not only do they have to explain this to upset customers - but most people will just subtract the 3.50$ from their tip. The restaurant also has an older, unfresh smell which became unforgivable with the higher fee. read more
