From the smoky bacon and melted cheddar of the classic BLT to the crispy buttermilk fried chicken nestled between a soft brioche bun in the "Cluck Norris," PB&J's sandwiches are anything but ordinary.

Standout Sandwiches

The "Pig in a Pretzel," a pile of slow-roasted pulled pork, caramelized onions, and melted zustavka cheese wrapped in a soft pretzel roll, is a customer favorite. The "Mac Daddy," featuring a crispy beef brisket patty, lettuce, tomato, and mac 'n' cheese on a potato roll, is another dish that's as indulgent as it sounds.

Vegetarians, worry not. The grill offers options like the "Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup," a classic combo with a house-made twist, and the "Portobello & Quinoa," a hearty and savory alternative to traditional meat-based sandwiches.

Beyond the Bread

While PB&J is famous for its sandwiches, their menu is far from one-dimensional. Burger lovers can sink their teeth into the "Juicy Lucy," a patty stuffed with molten cheese, and other creative combinations. Salads, soups, and even gluten-free and vegan options adorn the menu.

Their "Mundoalteno" burger, featuring a patty made from a blend of brisket, short rib, and chuck, is a prime example of the grill's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Topped with a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and spicy aioli, this is one of those sandwiches you appreciate every bite of.

Drinks and Desserts

No meal at PB&J would be complete without a sampling of their creative cocktails, local brews, and house-made desserts. From the "PB&J Old Fashioned" to the boozy "Elvis & Porter," these tipples are as fun to sip as they are to order.

And for those with a sweet tooth, the "PB&J & Chocolate Lava Cake" is a showstopper. With house-made peanut butter cup mousse and a warm chocolate center, it's a decadent ending to a standout meal.
