The dangerous part of Saturday dinner is pretending you’re “just grabbing food.” 🍽️

At CJ’s, that plan has a funny way of turning into one more round, one more song, and suddenly you’re staying for the whole night. 🎶

Tonight, the move is simple: slide in now for $10.95 Baby Back Ribs, settle into that St. Pete dinner crowd sweet spot, and let the night build from there. Breakfast had its moment this morning — now Saturday belongs to ribs, drinks, and Randy McNeeley Band at 9 PM. 🔥

Text the group chat before everyone starts making boring plans. 📲

Dinner now. Live music at 9. CJ’s Backstage all night. 🎸

🍩 You’ve had your morning donut. Now it’s time to rock! 🎸

Happy National Donut Day! You checked that sweet tooth box this morning, so tonight we are trading the sugar glaze for scratch-made seafood and high-energy live music at CJ's Backstage!

🐟 The Starter: Kick the weekend off right with our delicious local Fish Spread for $11.95, served with onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, and crackers.
🍽️ Friday Special: Keep the seafood theme going with our scratch-made $10.95 New England Cod!
🎸 Tonight's Main Event: Get your vocal cords ready because Women of Rock is taking the stage LIVE at 9 PM to tear the house down!

Grab a table, order up some seafood, and let's get loud!

Your Thursday escape plan: mood set to “live,” stress set to “off.”

Slide out of work and straight into CJ’s Backstage—where Jaie Loren’s voice warms up the room 7–9PM, your crew sinks into the booth, and the sizzling Fajita Thursday platters hit the table like applause. Think smoky peppers, lime-kissed steak or chicken, and that first icy margarita that rewrites your whole day.

Then, you grab the mic: DJ Karaoke fires up at 9PM. Hospitality Night perks roll all evening—industry fam, bring proof and enjoy wallet-friendly pricing while St. Pete’s nightlife vibes find you. It’s the shared moment you’ve been missing: live music in St. Pete, fajitas worth the sizzle, and a chorus you’ll still be humming tomorrow.

The weekend starts early in St. Pete. 🌮🍹

By Thursday, you're done cooking and ready for a real night out. Forget the kitchen cleanup and escape to CJ's Backstage.

We're serving up sizzling Fajitas all day (Chicken or Pork, or upgrade to Shrimp, Steak, or Grouper!). Pair it with a cold drink and catch Bling Crosby live from 6 PM to 9 PM.

Then, the industry takes over with Hospitality Night DJ & Karaoke at 9 PM.

This is what a Thursday night escape looks like.
