BJ’s is a pretty decent lunch destination. They have standard brewpub fare but they typically do a pretty good job with it. I was impressed today by the service, the place was full so we had to wait, but the manager offered to take our order and get us drinks while we were waiting. My friend and I split a medium pizza, half Bacon Cheeseburger, half BBQ Chicken. The cheeseburger pizza is awesome, I’d had that before. The BBQ half wasn’t so great, not bad, just not nearly as good as other places (like CPK for example). I was too full for the pizookie today, if you’ve not had one I highly recommend giving this brilliant dessert a try. It’s a large cookie served hot in a pan with ice cream on top, freaking awesome.

Looking for someplace new to add to our lunch rotation brought us to BJ's in La Jolla. First observation...boring-ass menu. Pub menus, particularly for chains, don't typically have a lot of variety anyway, but you can usually find one or two dishes that stand out. This lacked even a little spark. For the love of God, deep fry a pickle or something.

That said...the food was pretty good. I went with an appetizer combination that included the bruschetta and spinach/artichoke dip. The dish was nicely presented and well prepared. I also went with the BBQ beef sandwich which was equally good. The beef was very tender and had good flavor which wasn't overpowered by the sauce. The thick-cut french fries were also well seasoned and properly cooked.

One of my cohorts was raving about the Pizookie Party Platter, but by the time we were done with lunch, there just wasn't any room. Next time for sure.

It seems these dishes have yet to tantalize or ensicken any of our foodies.
