Delicious!

My husband and I went a little crazy and ordered too much. We were to excited about all the vegan options! First, we were super happy with our starter, upside down nachos with vegan chili and avocado, hold cheese obviously. Second, if available when you go, the veggie soup is a must try. So delicious and loaded with veggies. Finally, the charred veggie slant was absolutely amazing. Grilled/charred veggies served with a polenta patty. The restaurant is on the water and offers in and outdoor seating. We sat at the bar and had great service! Enjoy!

Pros: Great food , Good ambiance

Cons: No cons personally

Great views, vegan options

Plenty of outdoor seating with fantastic service. There are a few vegan options on the menu; the hummus platter and grilled veggie wrap are great.

Lovely waterfront spot, few vegan options

We had a very pleasant lunch at the “star bar” overlooking the bay. we shared nachos with vegan chilli, which hit the spot. They could do with more vegan options.

Delicious food w/ great service

Our family of three ate at CJ's and loved it. My husband and I are both vegan--he opted for the Impossible Burger, and I had the Upside Down Nachos - no cheese Avocado Vegan Chili. We both loved our meals, and the vegan chili on the nachos was amazing! Our son (6) enjoyed the chicken tenders with fries, but his favorite was the Shirley Temple listed on the kids' menu. Our waiter, Kevin, was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely eat here again.

Really great!

We ordered the Upside Down Nachos with vegan chili (no cheese) and the Veggie Slant and both were fantastic. CJ’s was great with food allergies as well. We would definitely go again. There were quite a few plant-based options.

Awesome!

I got a caesar salad and french fries and it was delish! I also had a strawberry daiquiri that was so nice with the FL breeze. Atmosphere and service were great. View was nice. 10/10.

Surprisingly good vegan options

CJ’s on the Bay is a classic American seafood place, but has some very nice vegan options that were a lot better than I was expecting for a place like this. The charred veggie slant was exceptionally good. Spaghetti putanesca also not bad. Vegan appetizers include a chili with Beyond beef, hummus and veggies and salad.

Vegan selections are much better now

After years of getting either hummus or the pasta, we enjoyed some perfectly cooked beyond burgers!

Pros: Beyond burgers, Whole section of the menu has plant-based options

Great pasta!

Great place to eat at! They have a separate “healthy menu” where almost everything is vegan or it can be made vegan. We had the puttanesca pasta and it was DIVINE! A must try if you’re a vegan in Marco Island!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Clean and cozy , Excellent food

vegan options

Hate giving restaurants that cater to vegan a low star, but the food wasn’t all that everything was lacking flavor. Just very bland, but does cater to everyone so if you have a group of friend it’s a good night out. They played live music till 8:30 which was nice. If I’m around town I’ll go again, but i won’t go out my way.
