Excellent, attentive service by the wait staff. Food was good quality, nice sized portions. Pleasant experience at C&J. Would recommend!!!

Our server took our order quickly but the food took a bit longer than expected to come out. Some staff is amazing- like our waitress- and some staff is extremely rude - like the bus boy who yelled at our family when we entered the restaurant. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced!!!! Portions were great, very large. Overall very good food and worth the wait.

As we entered the cafe we were lead to add our names to the waitlist. They are efficient at this place because we were seated about 15-20 after that! Once seated the service was top notch. Our waitress was kind and gave great recommendations on what to order. It didn't take long for our food to come out and we were pleasantly surprised by our dishes. The portion sizes were big and all the food tasted amazing. I personally got the Denver/western omelet that had the perfect balance of eggs and ingredients on the inside. The menu has a wide variety of options with many different dishes to choose from. The cafe has both breakfast and lunch which is always a plus. If you're looking for a tasty local spot, this is your place!

It's got that cozy, no-frills charm that makes you feel right at home. We got a mix of coffees, apple juice, the garden omelette with egg whites, eggs and toast, and the supreme omelette--which definitely lived up to the name. Huge portions, lots of flavor, and they were super accommodating of my food allergies. Big plus: they offer a wide selection of breads, including gluten-free options, and hella hot sauce options. Breakfast and lunch are served all day, which is a win, and even when it's busy, they move quickly and efficiently to get you seated.

I had breakfast eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, and it was absolutely fantastic. The eggs were fluffy and plenty. The hashbrowns were fresh crispy, and vibrant, and the toast which was the sourdough was the heaviest sourdough. I think I've ever had with so much flavor!!! So to be that simple and to be that delicious is what we want. The pricing is outstanding and when I say outstanding absolutely fantastic. Every restaurant should take notice and you'll be having lines out the door like this place does!!

The staff and atmosphere are very homey and the food is always well priced and great portions. I tend to overorder whenever I come here but the leftovers still reheat nicely. I'm a big fan of getting the sweet pancakes or sweet griddle options with potatoes or breakfast meat. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and in good time. I think you can order pickup which is actually really cool and I may have to start doing before super long days at work.They have a parking lot right near the restaurant which is very convenient. Overall, I really love Shelley's and think it's a quintessential american diner experience.

Our waitress was very nice and the dining room was casual and welcoming. This is a must go if you are in the area.

I ordered an extra slice b/c the menu said the eggs came with one homemade slice, vs 2 store-bought slices of toast. Holy moly, the toast was thick and delicious - I was *so* full after eating all of that! But a happy full :) I think they put margarine on the toast, which is a shame as it deserves butter. My husband got a grilled chicken sandwich, and said it was good. I was eyeballing the fried fish at other tables - it was all you could eat Friday Fish Fry. It looked absolutely delish, but I wasn't in the mood for fish. If we swing by this way again I'd definitely try it! It is a 'Christian' place, so if you're offended by religious quotes or images you may want to take a pass. It's not 'hit-you-over-the-head' religious, but some people may feel uncomfortable.
