I’ve had a gift card since my birthday of 2018. I tell you it was well worth the wait. My waitress was nice. The food was awesome!!! The best part of my visit was sitting outside. I will definitely be back?

great food, great service!!!!

BEST SEAFOOD IVE HAD THIS SUMMER!! Greatly prepared, tasting, and pricing. Came here for an early birthday celebration with my wife and parents. 1st time being but it won't be my last!! The service was pretty good but the FOOD!!! AND THEY WERE VERY GIVING IN THE PROPORTIONS!! Everyone had to take togo plate. I really loved it. Gotta go visit their other location.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My second visit. I highly recommend! Food is delicious, waitresses are super friendly and attentive, and the owner is very courteous and you can’t help but feel welcome. Everything I have tried so far is to die for! Great place to eat.

Would have given it five stars had it not been for the lackluster service we received. After our food was delivered (excellent food by the way), the waiter did not once stop by to ask if we needed anything else. No refills, no, "hey is everything okay over here", no nothing. Keep in my mind we were seated between two other booths who were being serviced constantly as opposed to ours. Maybe the server has a thing against serving Hispanic clientele? I will be back, but if I get the same server, I will request someone else.

Awesome place! The food was amazing, the staff was friendly, and you can sit on their patio with views of the river. Highly recommend!

We had the best lunch here. We spent about 3 hours eating at C & J's. We had some snow crab boils, fried shrimp appetizer, and the gumbo. The gumbo was definitely a highlight, it was so good that we also ordered some to take with us when we left. Our server was great, her name was Cassady and she made us feel very welcome. They have a wonderful drink menu, my favorite was the Alabama Summer! Would highly recommend this place if you are ever in town!

Went on my birthday yesterday. Should have taken the hint when the front door was missing the handle....But we placed our orders and when it was almost ready our waitress said she had to go check on her baby and our food should be ready when she comes back. Our food got dropped off at the window as soon as she went outside. So the 3 of us had to sit there for 20 minutes watching our good get cold. With multiple employees outside smoking cigarettes and playing on their phones. Including our waitress. We had to leave money on the table and walk out. Absolutely pathetic! They do not deserve your business!

Great food and service! This was our first time here and we loved it. We got the dungeness steam pot and gumbo and it was fantastic. Best crab legs in North Alabama!

Good food, great service!
