Voted "Best New Venue" by the St. Cloud Times • March 2008

"...RJ’s is definitely Americana, but dances to the beat of their own tuba. Tuba you ask? Well, their spin on American dining fare is so unique, I felt it needed more emphasis and what has more POW than a tuba…but I digress. The menu, which is online, is filled with very original accents to the traditional slab of meat. Rarely do you see such things as kalamata olives or Gorgonzola cheese on a menu anywhere around here. Very few things are as quintessentially American as a burger and, to be honest, it is hard to find new things that peak taste buds. That is just what happened though."

"...RJ's could be a quiet spot for a business lunch or a good destination for a dinner date. The food is fun and flavorful. Portions were perfect. The prices are right.There are nice wine and beer lists. The decor is warm and simple, with a warehouse style-ceiling and earth tones throughout... Creative kitchen work and an awesome atmosphere make RJ's a spot worth visiting."
