Specialties
Home of the Midwest’s Best Wings!
We specialize in always fresh, never frozen, chicken wings. The largest wings on the market lightly breaded, deep fried to crispy golden brown with succulent meat then covered in your choice of our 5 secret recipe sauces made fresh daily. Pair it with a side of our own home made bleu cheese or ranch dressing.
Full menu available for those pursuing a non-wing item and a wonderful kid’s menu for those 10 & under.
History
Established in 1989.
Started in 1989 CJ’s has been a Columbia staple for more than 20 years. Located in the heart of downtown in a building over 100 years old, CJ’s boasts great food and amazing ambiance. While being a well established business we’ve worked hard to maintain our local, hole-in-wall feeling.
Our wings and sauces consistently win awards and even some visitors from Buffalo, NY have said our wings are the best they’ve ever had.
We weren’t the first to serve wings, but we were the first to perfect them.
Meet the Business Owner
Ty M.
Business Owner
Born and raised in Columbia, MO I grew up in the shadows of Faurot Field and running the corridors of the Hearnes Center. Grandson of a Mizzou Hall of Fame Quarterback, Son of a Mizzou baseball player, brother of a Mizzou Golden Girl, and married to a Mizzou softball player, the city of Columbia and University of Missouri Athletics are in my blood.
In 2009 when my wife and I saw CJ’s failing and getting ready to close its doors we gambled and purchased the place. Determined to keep the same amazing product and recipes but improve the service and add a tailgate atmosphere, we’ve been at it ever since.
CJ’s has grown by leaps and bounds and the last 3 years have each topped the previous as the best in restaurants 20 plus year history. Whether you’re looking for a fun family dining spot or a great place to watch the game with a cold beverage we offer it all.
