What is a PB & JJ? As you may have guessed by its initials, it does involve peanut butter (bun) and (a private-label jalapeno) jelly, PLUS a char-broiled 1/3 pound Cajun-seasoned beef patty.

Don’t knock it until you try it (after all, there is a reason it has a devoted cult following)!

In addition to the PB & JJ, the Pheasant also has an assortment of other mouth-watering burgers, a la the Crostini Burger, South Dakota Bison Burger, and the Bacon Cheddar & Bleu Burger.

It isn’t just juicy burgers that the Pheasant specializes in, as their extensive menu also consists of brunch favorites, plus sandwiches, salad, platters, pasta, and more.

TripAdvisor/management

While the delicious food is more than enough reason to visit, the Restaurant also specializes in tasty drinks, a welcoming ambiance, and, once a week, live jazz music!
