Stopped there for lunch. I had a Reuben sandwich which was very good. Wait staff was very attentive. The other members in our party were very happy with their choices

Good place to have breakfast. Varied menu, tasty and large meals, and great service. The space is large and off the beaten path. We had omelettes, hash, and traditional eggs.

Perfectly acceptable diner -- and I live in dinersville (New Jersey). Appears to be popular with locals as well as tourists. Good omelets, good coffee. Very fast service.

We’ve been coming to Palm Desert for many years and always go to CJ’s as they make, quite simply, the very best banana pecan pancakes. We’ve tried many other breakfast places in Palm Desert and nowwhere comes close. The outdoor patio area is good and...the service friendly and efficient. They also have good coffee. Not the easiest place to find but well worth a visitMore

My food was terrible. The holidays sauce was bright yellow and tasted like it was made from powder. I'm sorry that people were very nice but the food was not good. I tasted my husband's and his did not taste good either and he ordered...something differentMore

This is a local place that offers a great variety for Breakfast and Lunch. The menu offers great salads and wraps. The wait staff was helpful in providing explanations of the items. I had the southwest salad- the dressing is great a vinaigrette with a...southwest kick. The turkey wrap had a generous serving of turkey. Great for families old and young enjoy the variety- dining outside…. Too hot to try this. We want to try breakfast!More

Food was good and service was fast and friendly. Breakfast was hot and priced well. Cheery and clean environment.

I've been here about a dozen times so far over the past 5 months. I'm slowly working through the menu to try as wide a range of presentations as possible. By the third time the owner was as familiar with me as he is with...the many "regulars". This is the sign of a great local, off the path eatery. Catering to locals but serving the fancy hotel trade with word-of-mouth referrals only seems a perfect way to serve clients who appreciate quality at a fair price. The owner seems to revel in getting the praise he deserves yet is not trying to make a financial killing. This harkens back to a Mom 'n Pop shop. I've been here alone, with my wife and with friends - no difference in the way I was treated by the staff.More

Horrible service, waited at door for over 10 minutes while being ignored by staff, finally told to choose a table, more waiting then a straight couple arrives 5 minutes later and where handed a menu almost immediately. We left 10 minutes later after being ignored....I suspect it either was my brown skin or the fact we where a gay couple.More

Fabulous breakfasts and terrific soup and sandwiches. We go there at least once a week, sometimes more

5 stars for server Isela who brought us everything we asked for and checked on us. The 3 stars are for the food. Had to send the Huevos Rancheros back because the food was cold. It was also very bland. The bacon was very thin....The pancakes were ok.More

CJs diner was right around the corner from our resort. We didn't find out about it until our 2nd to last day, but we came twice in that time. An excellent brunch spot with a great menu of breakfast and lunch items. Our service was...excellent and the food was delicious. Classic diner food, and quick and fresh as well. When we are back in Palm Desert we will be regular visitors!More
