- RRobert1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoLoved it for vday with the wife and the beer was solid. The meat was even better and would recommend the brisket for sure. The lighting was nice and romantic despite being a “bbq joint.” My only complaints was the mac and cheese was light on taste but i like my mac rich so im bias and also the corn bread had an excellent sweet flavor but was a tad dry but might just of been an older batch so I added extra butter. Overall really nice experience and will be going back for that brisket and beer. 9.5/10More infoSmokin J's BBQ - GaslampPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Downtown / Gaslamp•4.5

It was busy, but they took care of us nicely. Thank you!More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - La MesaPrice: Moderate• American• La Mesa•4

The 8-yr-old birthday party next to us was really noisy for the first half hour. But after that it was fine.More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• American• Mission Valley•4.4
