Pj's Tavern In Kirkwood

PJ's is nothing if not consistent.  It's always there for a quick, cheap outing & the food is generally pretty decent.

I'm a big fan of their French Onion Soup, it's thick & plenty oniony (nothing worse than watery onion soup).  Ask for extra cheese, extra croutons & you'll thank me.  They have a pretty good house salad & their house dressing is avocado ranch - yum!  I wish they didn't use so much iceberg lettuce, but it's forgivable in this case.

The Beef & Brick is great - basically a french dip on Texas toast.  Cheesy, meaty & greasy.  And their pizza is pretty good - thin crust, St. Louis style (I don't think they use provel).  I really can't comment too much on the rest of the menu, because I always order the same thing here (cup of soup & house salad), but what I have has been enough to keep me coming back for 14 or so years.

I do agree with the other reviewer that mentioned the bathrooms.  They are pretty gross.  And the bar area is really the only visually pleasing place to sit.

Good bar food with great prices. The service is great and very friendly.

This was my second visit to PJ's.  The first was very delicious.  I had the Rib Eye steak cooked to perfection and I was able to order it unseasoned.  I am on a low salt diet and watch my sodium intake carefully.  My family opted for the burgers.  Everyone really enjoyed the meal and said they would come back.  Not impressed with our secon trip and I was disappointed.  I wanted an unseasoned chicken breast and was informed that they are already marinated when they get them.  Does this mean that you are getting a frozen piece of chicken?  If so, shame on PJ's.  Food should be fresh and you should be able to order your food unseasoned.  Service was so so,  the server forgot to order our appitizer and we made do with our meal.   I wish I had ordered a salad because the amount of french fries were overwhelming and over half  were not eaten.  They were yout typical frozeen fries and should have been fried longer. Think I'll stick with restaurants that offer fresh food and offer unseasoned grilled chicken.
