- RRobert1 review5.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025Loved 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•4.4
- KKaraSan Diego •17 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 14, 2025Our server was fantastic: helped me find a good deal on soup and salad, made sure my younger daughter got all the ranch dip for her chicken tenders that her heart desired. It was busy, but they took care of us nicely. Thank you!More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - La MesaPrice: Moderate• American• La Mesa•4.1
- JJohnSan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2025Marissa was great. The food was really good and the $13 Meal Deal is a good value. 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•4.5
