“ One of our favorite places in COMO. Delicous wings!! Curly fries are yummy too. Small kid plates for picky eaters. ”
“ Me and the boys come here every Wednesday for lunch. It’s a great local favorite. It’s got that small town bar. Kind of feel the wings are absolutely delicious. The curly fries have a special seasoning on them and the service is friendly. Could I spend a little more on upkeep and decore? Sure, but some guys like that feel. Comfortable. ”
“ I've been a resident in Columbia for 5 years, and I'm ashamed I haven't had CJs wings before today. The only negative thing I have to say is that the fried pickles are spears, I like my fried pickles chip cut. I had the Maple bone in and it was delicious, little sweet and just enough spice\heat to clear our your sinuses. Properly the best wings I've had in Columbia, hands down. ”
“ Friendly staff and delicious wings. I went with the small order of bone in wings in butter with a side of the sweet heat BBQ sauce. I also had the large curly fries. There was plenty of seating and the place was clean. Service was prompt with refills and the check. I would definitely come here again. ”
“ “Always buy enough to take some home!” That is my advice to anyone coming to CJ’s in Tiger Country. If you don’t get some to take home, you will be sad. Today our server, Lucy, was delightful and when asked, “What’s the best way to reheat these delicious wings,” she suggested an air fryer. We will definitely try that. Also, their LOADED FRIES were definitely “loaded” with plenty of melted cheese, yummy bacon bits, and a side of sour cream. CJ’s is, and always will be, a favorite for us! ”
“ Went here for the first time this past week! Great wings and shrooms! Fun atmosphere too! Lots of paper towels for the sauces on the wings and your fingers! ”
“ This Columbia staple has been in my life since I’ve been a kid. The nostalgia paired with some of my favorite wings in town are tough to beat! I rarely venture away from the original wings here, but I’m not disappointed with I do. (Except the maple sauce, not my personal favorite). I’d highly recommend this place to anyone, but be sure to call ahead and verify their open since their hours are a little sporadic. ”
“ Best wings in como!!! Such a classic Mizzou / Columbia atmosphere too. 10000/10000 recommend!!! ”
