BJ’s Restaurant & Sandwich Shop
Included In
BJ's smells like a grease pan, and we mean that in an endearing way. This wooden roadside shack looks like it hasn't been remodeled since Woodrow Wilson was president. It's plastered with vintage beer ads and funny Western-themed memorabilia, and you'll find an older crowd trash-talking politicians over frosty beer mugs. The menu is simple: you either get a sandwich or a burger. The burgers are solid with a juicy, thick patty and excessive raw onions. We're also fans of the pastrami sandwich on (generously) buttered rye: the meat is griddled until crispy, and there's so much mustard it oozes out the side. Cash only.
