| - Five of us decided to try the burgers at P.J.'s the other night. Had read other reviews about slow service so was a bit apprehensive, but I can tell you that there was absolutely no slow-down when we were there. O.K., they weren't overly crowded as Ohio State was kicking off against Penn State in a few hours. But the service was spot-on and the staff was friendly and polite. All I can say is we had a great time.
Burgers come as either 1/3 or 1/2 pound sizes, your choice. Two of us had the half pounders and three went with the third pounders. Both are served on a large, beautifully toasted bun. All come with fries as a side. My choice that day was the Big Foot. As I mentioned it was one-half pound of fresh, locally sourced beef with bacon, smoked cheddar, house-made pickles, spicy ketchup and topped with a fried egg. If you don't like "hot" get the pickles on the side as they taste like they are made in jalapeno pepper brine. They are sliced very thin and delicious, IF you enjoy some heat on your burger. And while the menu didn't mention it mine came with lettuce and slices of red onion. The house prepares all burgers medium-well unless otherwise requested. I suggest you go with the house, as my burger was still a bit pink inside even at medium-well.
So, the fries were fantastic. Very tasty. So was the beef. The burger was very moist, dripping goodness onto the plate at every bite. Thankfully the bun was so well toasted and large enough that it held up for the entire meal. They provided us with extra napkins anyway. At $11.99 for the Big Foot, P.J. Marley's is entering the same price range as other high-end burger joints. But their burgers are equal in quality to most of them, and better than some.
So why didn't I give it five stars? Well, there was one problem with my burger that I just could not let slip by. The fried egg was cooked just a tiny bit too long. The yolk was soft and shinny; it had not yet been cooked into a rubbery consistency. But it was NOT runny. A fried egg MUST be runny. That's the only reason to order one on a burger ... to bite into it and have the yolk drip down into the burger. If you prefer rubber yolks you should save some money and go to the place with the arches!
Their deserts looked fantastic. Probably worth trying if you are still hungry after your meal ... which none of us were. One person tried a milkshake but said it didn't have a lot of flavor.
