CJ's Rhinebeck Pizza and Pasta — Restaurant in Town of Rhinebeck

Hey Everyone! Last on 10/2/25 my husband and I went to CJ pizza for dinner. We were greeted and seated right away. My husband had ordered one of the specials , the fish and chips on the the menu it stated " All Entrees Served with a soup or salad." when my husband ordered a the shrimp gumbo to go with the fish and chips because the All entree were suppose to come with soup or salad . We were told by our server that soup did not come with the fish and chips. However I don't recall seeing any thing on the special Saying that soup or salad was only for the pasta dishes. As to can clearly see in the photo the menu does say All Entrees LOL, Sense our waitress told us soup was not included we did pay extra for the Shrimp Gumbo. I had the bacon cheese burger soup. Both soups were ok nothing special, the gumbo barely had shrimp in it. as for the bacon cheese burger soup and I love a burger soup tasted more like hamburger helper. Now as for the entrees my husband had the fish and chips, and I had the fettuccine with white clam sauce. Both entrees were enough that my husband and I could have shared. The fish and chips. while they were a decent portion, With out the soup $18.95 for a mediocre Fish and chips Is a bite high priced. As for my the Fettuccine with white clam sauce. Were do I begin, Well the pasta was cooked perfectly, However the clams for the clam sauce were so minced that I could not tell if I was eating canned clams or real clams, and I did not see one whole clam in the dish. The best part of a clam sauce i s the broth and bread to soak it up the sauce w overly oily and At the bottom of the bowl was per olive oil. The garlic level in this blow out my palate. This is not the clam sauce I remember for 8yrs ago this was not a balanced flavor. As for the service, The waitress really needs to pay attention. After having to ask her 4 times for more bread. I know that she is going to try and blame the young boy working but that young boy just needs to be properly trained. The atmosphere of this place rustic old world. It was a Thursday night and the dining room was empty. (I really had high hopes for this that it was going to be a homerun. This was defiantly a strikeout that began with false advertisement. When it says all Entree then it should be all, I for you want to exclude one Entree then you need to write i as such, All entree except the fish and chips come with soup or salad)

I can not recommend the restaurant at all Savona's is right down the road with similar prices and better quality food. I don't know about you but I will always take quality over quantity any day.

As always have fun with what your doing and keep it real because you know i do with each and every review.

Thank...

Ordered take out. When we got home and cut into our calzone it was completely raw. Our pizza was supposed to have broccoli on it. It had some very small pieces of stem. Our family of 6 have been eating there for over 8 years I called the owner Willie and he said there is no way it is raw. He explained to me that just under the fold sometimes does not cook and just to open it up and bake it in our oven. After 5 minutes on the phone with him, trying to explain it to him, I said I just want to bring it back for a new one. He told me just to bake it at home. If I wanted to cook dinner I would have. I am a CIA trained chef and could easily make my own but there is no substitute for a pizza oven. He refused to replace it even though I said I’d bring it back to show him. I recently caught up with one of the servers while we were out and she was appalled at the photos and what he said as an 8 year...

Very very disappointed in my last visit. Usually, the wings are very good, not this time. They messed up the wing order, so they held back the wings while they cooked 5 more, even though we asked them to bring them out. So when the 5 new ones came out, like 20 minutes later, the owner decided to warm up the teriyaki wings on a flat top grill, as the picture shows, it burned the outside of the wings. The owner made this decision and told the waitress to bring them out. Who would want to eat those? They are $18 for 10 wings. We have been coming to CJs for over 30 years. It would explain why the dining room wasn't full if that's how food is served by the owner. The margarita pizza was good and the stromboli, but starting with burnt wings, we did send them back, left a bad taste in our...
