When I attended Tulane University in New Orleans, my tastebuds longed for cuisine that didn't have any sort of cajun or creole flair! Cajun japanese, creole salads, new orleans brunch- it all tasted the same... but today that dilemna fuels a bitter distaste for mediocre "new orleans cuisine" disguised poorly by cheap liquor and Bourbon Street bobbles. Because most food in New Orleans is similar, only the strong survive. But PJ's has proven, yet again, that most people outside of NOLA have no idea what good cajun food tastes like- and assume New Orleans is about jello shots and bland seafood dipped in flavored mayo! I want to like PJ's because they are nice, but they certainly don't deserve such a high rating. It's sad there aren't more options for Cajun in SF; I find myself at PJ's occasionally and normally leave asking why I wound up there again.
