Still great but not the same since it was redone.

This restaurant has been a part of my life longer than I have been alive. My mother ate the Cadillacs (bacon cheeseburgers) and chili when I was in the womb. I was brought there frequently throughout my childhood. My close friends and their families loved it, too. At one point I was eating there once a week I’d venture.

My favorites were the bearnaise burger and the home fries, the former of which was been irreparably diminished by the change in bearnaise sauce. The desserts have improved but the clientele is no longer the same.

I think I have come to realize that I need to accept it for what it was and appreciate the memories but not expect PJ’s to be what it was. It’s still a great place and I heartily recommend it.
