Thickest burger i've ever had, Loaded with cheese and meat! So many burger options and such a good environment! Right in Downtown South Bend with Notre Dame sports memorabilia everywhere. A pool table and arcade basketbal for entertainment as well!!!

Great service and amazing food. The environment was better than expected. A bucket list

This restaurant was great! We really enjoyed the freshness of the food and the great service. The cottage cheese option as a side was a nice bonus. The atmosphere was laid back and fun, and really very calm the night we were there. The music and games were nice.

So let's talk burgers. Many places in the South bend and Michiana area claim to have the best hamburger. Nine time out of ten those claims are nothing more than self created marketing. With that being said, this place has really good burgers! I don't know how one would define best burger, but let me tell you, their burgers are great! Definitely recommend. It does need to be stated that this is a bar and there are occasional drunk individuals acting like drunk individuals, especially on Notre Dame football weekends.

Every now and then you want an honest-to-God cheeseburger. A fresh made paddy, never frozen, just-the-right-amount of lean and grease. Perfect bun, and no frills needed. This is the place. Stopped in one afternoon, had the place to ourselves. Service was friendly, kitchen was on point - get the onion rings and some fries. Live a little. I'm partial to the olive burger, and have loved it since before the original CJ's met with its untimely end. Every bit as good as I remember 25 years later.

Cj's Pub is a great place for cold beers and burgers. The half pound burger was amazing with great spices and a tender patty. we enjoyed the spices in the CJ's Special Wings. the beer was cold and i don't think you could ask for anything else while visiting a pub. it's a great place to visit before or after a football game. They have Notre Dame memorabilia on the walls and great music playing. We had quick and friendly service.

We were in town for a Notre Dame football game and decided to check out CJ's. We had a great time and CJ's was exactly what we needed. The beer was cold, the prices extremely reasonably. The atmosphere was dope with photos of ex players everywhere. Plenty of tv's to watch other games. The service was good, stuff arrived to the table quickly. Definitely worth checking out if in town.

They aren't messing around with their burgers. And they know how to cook them to temperature. Best burger I've had in years. We went during the week and it as quiet, but not empty. The service was amazing. You can tell this place is a football destination, but don't write it off as "just a bar." Besides burgers, we had onion rings, fries, regular wings and "pork wings." I don't remember what they were called, but it was roasted and fried pork on a bone, like a (lollipop) covered in their signature sauce. This was my favorite, but it was all really, really good. I'd recommend this place to anyone that happens to be in the area. If we were locals this would definitely be a go-to spot. I can't wait to go back to South Bend so we can eat there again.
