Bj's Restaurant & Brewhouse

Was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Food is very flavor oriented, nothing unique or fancy, just and american themed restaurant that on my visit executed all the food exceptionally well. Food was hot and fried perfectly. The Salmon was delicious, the chicken was crispy, the mash potatoes fresh. Everything was seasoned right, we had no complaints. The drink menu, and food menu was huge!!!! It was a little difficult trying to decide! Over all just a pleasant experience. My expectation is that in time the kitchen will suffer and the food will become as Applebee's. But until then I will enjoy this spot.

Nice place with lots of promise.

As a beer fiend, I'm going to say their selection is well thought out and very balanced and that includes their own brews. Too often I see places with dozens of taps only to have nearly all the same style, color, and flavor on each one. Kudos to whomever is in charge of the beer selection.

I've been there about 7 times or so since it opened. My experience with service is hit and miss. Certainly, I've always had good table service. But out of 4 trips to the bar, only once did I have decent service. One time came close to okay. The other two were horrid. I haven't seen those particular bartenders again, so perhaps they've been weeded out of the initial hiring pool by now. I'm sure as they find their footing, BJ's will improve overall in the service department.

But we folks don't go out to eat for beer and service. We want great food. You can certainly find some here. Both the rib appetizer (made with a rootbeer based glaze) and the entrée (made with a beer based sauce) are both excellent.

The cherry glazed salmon over cous cous is also delicious. (though I had ordered the quinoa bowl, whatever)

The Ahi Poke salad is pretty good, and a very refreshing and light appetizer that you won't fill up on.

Skip the burgers. Terrible and flavorless patties. What a shame. Their fries are worse. The only redeeming quality is that they are thin and crispy. But since they refuse to season them AT ALL, you'll definitely need some ketchup to be able to put them down. I just don't understand people who don't season food. I mean, I'm not asking for you to burn my mouth out with salt or pepper, but something other than BLAND would be nice.

The tavern pizza (italian market) was too 'tangy.' But as with any pizza, it was much better cold for lunch the next day. (I think the tang came from the fact that the pepperoni is diced AND they have pickled pepperoncini as an ingredient)

The ribeye was horrible. Not worth the price. Drowned in black pepper. (really, from a flavorless burger that you make yourself everyday to a steak ruined by drowning it in black pepper—consistency people, consistency) Also, you'll need to order it two degrees less than what you want. They apparently cook it to temp, but they forget that a steak keeps cooking after it is removed from the heat. Medium rare quickly turned to medium well half-way through eating it. A thicker cut might help out here. Mine was a bit thin at 1/2inch.

But by far, their best dish is the North Beach Mahi & Shrimp. It's like a tavern version of a courtbouillon. The fish and shrimp are lightly poached in a thin tomato broth and served over cous cous. The flavor is excellent. (see you guys DO know how to cook and season properly. Now why can't you do that with a burger and fries? or that $25+ steak?)

All in all, I'm sure I'll be back to try other items on their absurdly large menu. (which might be part of their problem)

Worth a visit if not for the beer and ribs alone. Also, they make their own root beer, cream soda, and cherry soda. If I can make myself avoid an adult brew, I'll try one of these next.

House beer was great. I had the brisket BBQ burger. It tasted good, but it was all bun. Not enough meat. Service was great. Parking garage sucked.

Came here yesterday with the girls for a little lunch break while we shopped. They hadn’t been here before but loved it! The burgers are always great and they have a MASSIVE selection of beer. Also, don’t skip out on the pizza! Basically everything is good here, definitely don’t skip it!

The food here was absolutely delicious!!! I could have ordered anything on the menu, there’s so much to choose from. Our waiter Jude was very attentive, helpful, and nice! Definitely will be back here! I also loved that they had the calorie count per dish👏

I tried a third new root beer, and it was excellent. brewed locally. We received both deep dish and thin. Both were excellent. We're terrific at appetizers too. potato skins with cheese curds deep-fried. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Most recent experience was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at any restaurant. Started off great with a excellent server but things went downhill fast. Appetizers came out perfect but right before the entrees were to be delivered I stepped away from the talbe for less than 5 minutes and a buss boy came to the table and took freshly prepared food and began stacking dirty dishes on everything ruining everything that was perfectly fine food. My left over Appetizers that were sitting next to the take home box were completely ruined. Worst part was a perfectly cooked prime rib dinner had a stack of dirty dishes slammed into a dinner that hadn't even touched. So $60 worth of food was completely ruined. I had just spoken to my waitress who knew that I need to step outside for less than 2 minutes but still managed to allow the table with drinks, food to be taken home ( to go boxes were sitting next to the left over Appetizers and a freshly prepared entrees had just been delivered but despite all of this the food was treated like trash. The manager on duty failed to make any attempts to address the complete waste of food and at no time did he offer to make any attempts to correct the horrible mistake. I left hungry, angry, and completely disappointed by the entire events Not once was I stopped by management to make any attempt to correct their obvious mistakes and no discount for the ruined food was even discussed. I worked in the food industry for 6 years and something like this would never have been allowed to occur much less allowing the customer to leave without any effort to make amends. Be aware when taking your chances at B J's Brewhouse because spending too much in the bathroom or visiting friends away from your table could result in a complete disregard for your food.

This was a nice experience that I was invited to. The orders were already placed for us which was appetizers. We enjoyed the potato skins which were delicious: I hardly ever order these anywhere because it makes you full fast. Next we tried the "sampler" with cheese sticks, boneless breaded chicken pieces, spinach and artichoke dip, and avocado eggrolls. These were all good as well. I'm a Dipper so I appreciate when each item has it's own dipping sauce. After that, a plate of what I believe was brisket sliders but they did not make it to our end of the table; therefore, I cannot tell you what they taste like. The wait staff was kind of attentive, could have been better. I say this because I have been a waitress in a place as such and it does take some preparation, improvising, and a few servers to get the job done effectively as if it were a table of two. This was not the case. We waited for each appetizer to come out about 15 minutes in between. I could easily tell where the "bottleneck" began on the floor. In my opinion, I will have a different experience when I go with my family or a friend. Overall, it was delightful and I met some great people. The atmosphere was nice and I will visit again for the personal ordeal. It was good enough for me to return but not so bad to complain. This is an unbiased and honest review.
