    Even the location wasn't a prome place, the restaurant was great inside. Clean, interior design was spectacular and modern. The staff is super friendly , and the restrooms are super clean and modern. The food was top-notch and drinks strong and refreshing. The only thing is the outside decor, a bit dated and the parking lot was a bit outdated and low lit. Beyond that, I liked the place. Great for drinks, for dinner and lunch. Quick and easy service with a great server.

    I absolutely love coming to BJ's with friends and family. The waiters are always very friendly, the food is always good, and the atmosphere is cozy. I love their root beer and burgers.

    Honestly this place is a little on the pricier side but it's worth it. Our server looked like she was having a rough day so the customer service wasn't great but the food was. The environment made up for her attitude honestly. Despite this, I would still recommend BJ's. It's adequate for kids and a great place for a hang-out. I really recommend their Crispy Jalapeño Burger and their Pizookie cookie dessert is DELICIOUS (half price on Tuesday's). GET a Pizookie, even if it's just a mini size. Parking is good. The wait time can be long sometimes so I recommend making a reservation.

    Great food and great beer. The steak was perfect, cooked just right. The waitress Alyssa R. was very nice, and made sure are glasses were filled. Strawberry 🍓 shortcake cookie was really delicious. Thanks Alyssa see you again soon.

    The food and service is always good. I have an egg allergy and can only order a limited few entrees but the waiter is always very accommodating. This is especially true for this last visit where he checked on my food right after it was delivered to check that it was made correctly. They also seated us right away with a close table since we had a few people in our party that could not walk a long distance. It was great company, great food and great atmosphere. We really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you!

    This place has been “hit or Miss” as of late. One night you might have an awesome experience everything on cue , taste, service overall dining experience … the next time the complete opposite, as it unfortunately was on this evening. The appetizer (avocado egg rolls) came out severely burned, the Asian chopped salads with grilled chicken was not that at all..I received a spinach loaded plate with maybe 3 strips of chicken. Not to mention we were charged twice for the burned avocado egg rolls. Will not completely rule them out.!! As mentioned; have had positive experiences here before …

    This was my first time eating at BJ's. I had the tri-tip and ribs and loaded baked potato. The steak had a great flavor the only problem was a big part of it was kind of grisly and tough. The baked potato was excellent, good amount of cheese, it combined really well with the sour cream and butter. My little girl had the personal cheese pizza and garlic mashed potatoes. The pizza had plenty of cheese good flavor yes I took a small bite, the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy. The wife had the shrimp scampi, noodles and sauce. I did not taste it I am not a seafood person but she told me it was pretty good. Only complaint was they leave the tails on the shrimp. Now what I think was the best part was their in-house made root beer. It had a great taste of sarsaparilla, very reminiscent of my favorite bottled root beer from Sioux City. For dessert we had something called a pizookie , which is basically just a hot cookie with ice cream on top. You have your choice of chocolate, vanilla bean or strawberry ice cream. The vanilla bean was excellent but I am partial to vanilla bean. Okay so the service was actually pretty great our servers name was Jeffrey I believe. We actually sat outside behind the restaurant due to covid-19, we are still not comfortable dining indoors. But there is indoor seating for those that would like it. The outside patio was nice roped off plenty of lights and heaters for the night time, and nice big red umbrellas to cover from the Sun, which kind of messed me up because all my pictures came out with a red tint to them I tried to fix it as best I could sorry .

    Lexi was amazing! Provided one of my most memorable experiences at a BJs. Also she got me to join the beer club. I'd recommend this place to anyone as long as she is their server

    This is our #1 place to eat. They have a great Happy Hour and weekday specials that are a great value. Quality food and great service. Our regular server Alyssa R. has taken the time to get to know us and what we normally order. The staff works well together and we always have a great time.

    Ale is hand down the best bar tender in town. Absolutely an outstanding experience at BJ’s thanks to incredible service provided by Ale. From the moment I sat down I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Ale went above and beyond to ensure my drinks were expertly crafted and delivered promptly, all while maintaining a friendly and engaging demeanor. Her extensive knowledge of cocktails and genuine passion truly elevated my evening. I can’t recommend Ale highly enough. A true gem in the world of bar tending. Cheers to her exceptional service!!!

    Bad service along with bad food. Dined in on 11/18 Saturday night. Waited 45 minutes to get few waters and beers from the bar, unreal. Waiter apologized and offered free piezookie. Service continued to be horrible as we waited another 45 min for the food and the quality was just as bad as the service. We finally decided to speak to the manager and did not show any empathy or apologized which was strange, didn’t really seem like he cared.

    Tonight it was excellent. I only ordered Tortilla soup because I am dieting but it was delicious! I asked for them to bring it with no tortilla strips and no cheese and they prepared it just as I asked. It was quick and our waitress did very well.

    Located just minutes from the hotel, we tried this restaurant because there is one near where I live and it's was super delish! Unfortunately, besides the name thats where the similarities end. The food was just ok. My son had the prime rib with sweet potato fries and asparagus. The steak was underdone. Asked for med-rare and got rare. The sweet potato fries were also underdone and also the asparagus. The flavor was good though. I had the glazed pork chops and it was a two rib chop so was pa retty thick cut, along with tumeric cauliflower and sauted green beans. Again wonderful flavors however the chop was slightly over done so was dry, the glazed saved it tho. The green beans were tasty along with the cauliflower however some pieces were still too crunchy. I had a ginger beer to drink and the orange cream soda. Both drinks on the menu stated that they were handcrafted onsite. It was a bit disappointing. They were flat drink that tasted like the other.....weird but whatever still a nice drink. They practiced safe distance measures and wore masks also asking patrons to do the same. The service was SUPER sloooooowwwww omg was it.😳 it wasn't super packed so I do t get it but whatever. Didnt use restroom. So not sure if it was clean or not. Pro ably skip this place next time we are in town.

    I've been coming to BJ's for many years. The food is always good and the servers have been friendly and efficient. It's easy to ask for additional condiments if necessary and they aren't forgotten. My last server Janae was very friendly and took my order quickly.

    Just dined here with the fam for Mother’s Day and it was genuinely such an amazing experience. You kinda expect service to be not so great on big holidays but our server Jacquelyn A. was incredible. She had a lot of other tables and we could tell she was very busy but she still treated us like we were her only table and gave us her full attention. The food was great and she had such a warm and friendly personality that made the night very memorable. BJ’s also hands out these really cute wine glasses for Mother’s Day, I can’t wait to use mine. Food was awesome too!

    Flatbread pizza was cold, overcooked and dry. Its hit and miss with BJs. It's either really good or really bad.I think the cook forgot about the pizza in the oven. Sometimes they forget the AuJus with the prime rib dip sandwich.

  • 5/5 Spearmark2 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered the Enlightened Seared Ahi Salad with extra Ahi, a bit of a pretentious name but oh so delicious! This BJs location never fails when looking for good food and great customer service. Can't wait for my next visit!

    Every time I come without fail the food is FANTASTIC & the service is always EXCEPTIONAL! I LOVE THIS PLACE, it is my go to & has become a spot my family & I frequent! Love this place !

  • 2/5 Nancy G. 2 years ago on Google
    2 stars because our food came out pretty quick. I love near which is a convenience, however my experiences there are not so good. Since we entered, the customer service was bad. Employees show no interest in helping you. We didn't get silverware or napkins and when we asked for it our food got cold waiting on it. The waiter couldn't tell us what beers they had in bottles, he stopped 2 tables away with my drink and had a whole conversation while still just holding my drink. We ended up asking for to go boxes and ate at home instead.

    Jesse gave myself and my partner an amazing experience he made the ordering process feel very smoothly and was very attentive to our needs. There needs to be more Jesse's, we had an even better dinner because of him.
