Great casual dining family friendly restaurant in Howard City. Visited family in town over the…read moreholiday weekend. The eight of us arrived and the staff promptly put a few tables together to seat us. We arrived early enough, around 5pm, so we were able to be seated fairly quickly considering the size of our group. Browzing the extensive menu, there were plenty of choices to suit anyone's craving. Excellent, attentive service by the wait staff. Food was good quality, nice sized portions. Pleasant experience at C&J. Would recommend!!!

We both ordered off the specials menu, my wife got the scallops and I got jambalaya. The scallops were cooked to perfection not over cooked. The jambalaya had half a lobster tail, shrimp, clams, squid, mussels and andouille sausage over dirty rice. It was very good. For desert we shared the apple crisp à la mode which was killer but don't think you can eat one by yourself, it's big! Our waitress Kara was awesome and attentive all night. The drinks we had were good too we both had the blueberry bees knees and then expresso martinis with the desert. If you e never been here it is truly a hidden gem.

Server seemed overwhelmed and it was pretty loud. Food: appetizer calamari is an over breaded mishmash blending peppers w/squid (sounded great in paper), salad portions good size w/lots of lettuce but little protein; cocktails were decent. OK for 1 visit.

I posted a picture at the end of this review. Each salad included a fluffy freshly baked roll. The only negative was the rolls didn't come with real butter, but instead some oil spread which was not ideal. I also had a piece of their blueberry pie which was amazingly not too sweet not "corn-starchy", which is so often the case. I can only imagine the rest of their food offerings are ample and great! The service was excellent, and the ambience was amazing! The entire restaurant was beautifully decorated for Halloween. The bathroom was clean and handicap assisted. I highly recommend that you stop here for lunch or dinner. I am quite sure you won't be sorry!

2024 time for a recent review on YELP. spoke with the owner and inquired about the bad reviews from…read moreyears past years, and being an Elite Member, I wanted to try this place and give a review that is current. She explained Covid and mis management contributed to the lack luster reviews, but she is striving to turn this place around. First, there's 2 sides to the restaurant with a kitchen in the middle. We walked in on the log cabin looking side, which has a few tables and not much room. That's the side that had most vehicles parked. Only to learn that the longer side of building, is considered the "bar" side. We walked around, and a much larger dining room, with pool tables, TV screens, and a bar. They are anticipating finally being able to serve beer, wine and full bar before the end of Feb 2024...until then, soda pops and ice tea, coffee and hot tea. Alcohol will be available on both sides. All you can eat Fish Fry Friday, $14.99. 3 large pieces of fish(pollock), choice of coleslaw, apple sauce, cottage cheese or side salad. Also choice of potato: battered dip, bake potato, sweet potato. The fish is Pollock and you can choose: "dry"- crunchy, "wet" which is battered dipped, baked or Cajon. We tried the wet and dry, and liked both! The coleslaw had mandarin oranges and carrots, the side salad is what you'd expect. Waitstaff was hustling, trying to ensure no delays in serving. Definitely need to come back to try their breakfast and other menu items. Sounds like they are going to have entertainment on weekends, maybe Battle of the Bands, and "car shows"....stay tuned...and try them out.
