    CC wings, volcano burger and ice cold draft beer.
    Patti B.

    Hands-down, the best place in Lincoln for post-hike provisions. We stumbled on CJ's on accident this past Sunday because our usual place, Pub 32 Pizza & Beer, was no longer seating customers at 5PM. Tired, dirty, injured and in dire need of an ice cold IPA, we glanced around us to survey alternative recovery options. Lo and behold, right across the street was CJ's. My ice cold IPA took the form of a filtered, mellow Moosejuice and my husband's, a tropical, hazy Fiddlehead. Both were delish! We shared the server-recommended CC wings and they were stupendous! The same could be said for the volcano burger and onion rings. Regrettably, I can't recall our server's name but it was the gentleman working the lower patio on Sunday evening around 5. He was friendly and helpful and if I spot him the next time we're in, I'll definitely request to sit in his section. The restaurant had abundant socially-distanced outdoor seating and required masks when not seated, which facilitated feeling safe. We are from Massachusetts, hike the Whites once a week, stay in hotels much of the time and will be doing our part to contribute to the local economy by visiting CJ's every chance we get.

    This is one of my favorite places in Lincoln. Great pub atmosphere, really good food at bargain prices, and awesome servers.

    Small sports bar with good food. The place is frequent by the locals and tourists. Cjs serves large portions of pub style food.

    Get in here if you want a craft martini made by Shane- the most excellent bartender. Seriously. Get in there.
