One of my fav sobe spots! Different from all the other restaurants on ocean drive... More laid back feel to it but with amazing food and specials! Get Grouper sandwich and miami blues drink!
m0n@🚺October 15, 2012Great food and staff especially CJ the owner he's the best. If you're in Miami this is the place to eat. The lobster special was delicious and the mango with corona is oh so good. I love this place.
The BEST seafood restaurant on S. Beach for the $ hands down!! The chef is awesome and the Rum Runners are good 😋 & strong 💪🏾
AlharithOctober 9, 2019The snow crab dinner was amazing, the include a 16.5% service charge in the bill.
Didem ArslanJanuary 23, 2020Stone and alaska crab! They are both fresh and delicious! Margarita worth to try.
Mica DockeryFebruary 14, 2023The crab dinner was delicious. The best crab I’ve had in a while! Comes with lemon, melted butter and old bay seasoning. The service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back!
KT FloridaMarch 25, 2015Least expensive seafood place that I've found on South Beach. Plus they have oysters Rockefeller!
Cliff YoungbloodSeptember 27, 2013I always live South Beach! If you don't mind all of the people walking by while you eat, it's great. (Good viewing 😉😜😎). You can always eat inside. Try the special. It's worth it.
I recommend to go to Cjs in the evening.. if you have Brittany, Carlos, John or Chris.. you are going to have the time of your life. The grouper in a bag is to die for if you like flavor!!
Jonathan MooreSeptember 5, 2015The seafood pasta was a food gasm!! Tiffany made the strongest drink of my life!! Wasn't that busy but they take amazing care of you!!
@celis🎶October 15, 2012This place has great deals, and the food is delicious the staff is very friendly, especially CJthe owner he's really sweet and attentive. Love this place!!!!!
Best seafood on South Beach. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the seared tuna, crab cakes and king crab is to die for!
Gabe PachecoApril 12, 2017Crab cakes are amazing. Drinks are one of the best values you will find on Ocean.
Miami New TimesAugust 15, 2014Despite its location at the center of the tourist universe, CJ's feels like a hole in the wall that you might find on a beach in Clearwater. Read more
mDecember 22, 2011Great service but even greater food! Fresh seafood with a happy hour that will satisfy any seafood craving you have!
- Eric GarzaMarch 23, 2013Always ask for Carlos. Always. He's the real deal and will take awesome care of you.
- The new brighter design inside is great. Love the new booths!! 10 out of 10!
Dave BellousDecember 30, 2013Shrimp and Linguini at lunch was great. This is our second visit for lunch.
If you like too have a good time and get really drunk this is the place for you.See Carlos or Kyle they will take care of you.
Beverly horvitzMarch 28, 2015If you love seafood then this is the place because, that's all they have.
Andy🔥 FeliciottiMarch 22, 2012Decent prices for the area, come here to drink. Beers are 4 bucks during happy hour and drinks are 7
- CJ's is hands down the best place on ocean drive to eat and drink.
- Ask the bartender to set u up with a bucket of beer for beer pong!
Dani PatarazziApril 19, 2010Don't let the atmosphere worry you. Our server was indifferent and it felt like we were in an old sports bar for has-beens, but the surf n turf was good. Lobster and filet were tender.
Mike CNovember 1, 2011Doesn't seem to have as good of a happy hour for this south beach strip, crab cakes were good but small and overpriced: the place a block away had bigger cakes for less than half during happy hour
Danil LepkovOctober 18, 2014Seafood,as it is:lobster,shrimps,scalops.but nothing special and a little bit overpriced vs.such dining experience
Anechka M.August 21, 2017We ordered sangria and fresh oysters. "Fresh" were covered with ice and hard as hell - gummy and not tasty at all. Sangria was too sweet and felt like made of cheap wine. Wouldn't go back
Scott RienbeckJuly 7, 2011Fish & Chips finished off with Key Lime Pie. Sit outside and take you're time. You got no place to be right?
Carolina MoralesNovember 12, 2013We went there my phone was out of battery I asked if they have a plug and they said yes. When we finished our lunch they brought the check and they charged service charge 18% THIEVES! Don't go there!
Best seafood for you buck on south beach! Awesome crab back!
