Took a little while to write this review but nonetheless here it is! I recently dined at this BJ's location about a week ago... when my family and I were staying at Legoland for the weekend. We decided to venture out of the park and find a restaurantnearby that didn't charge outrageous prices for a simple meal. BJ's was my first choice since I absolutely loved theirpizookie's! First thing I noticed when we arrived was that there were quite a bit of people waiting to be seated. The hostessadvised us it would be 45 min to an hour for a table which I found a bit strange since half of their dining tables were empty. Ihave to assume they were severely understaffed on that particular night. Other than that it wouldn't make sense why so manypeople were waiting for a table when so many tables were open. At least the hostess was friendly! We did end up waiting thathour to be seated though. The food was good. I ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta and it was delicious! I normally would requestextra alfredo sauce but in this one instance I didn't, which is a good thing because they actually added extra without me askingfor it! My son enjoyed his Mac and cheese but honestly that's really hard to mess up. My bf and I also shared a chocolate chunkpizzookie for dessert which was pretty good. Only thing is the cookie wasn't as warm as I'm used to, not sure how fresh it wasbut it still tasted good! The reason I'm giving them 4 stars is for their service. Our server was Dominic and he was veryattentive during our entire dinner. Not only was he friendly despite the fact that he was serving probably half the restaurant,I'm surprised he had the time to come around and check on us as often as he did. We got refills on our beverages pretty quicklywithout having to ask too. It was nice not having to chase down a waiter even though I know he was very busy with othertables. If my family and I are in the area I'd definitely come back to this location just because their customer se Read more
Great place and very good service but cost to much for what you get. The inside is great and looks great. The beer and pizza is... the best thing there to me. I might go back again just because the sevice was beyond great. This was a flatbread now that wasgreat. Read more
The menu is more or less the same as other BJ'S, but they've got good lunch specials and a pretty sweet happy hour
Food was good as you can tell from the photos. Not real fond of BJ's menu variety as a non beef eater but others liked it. My... soup and salad was good. Caesar salad and tortilla soup. It would have been nice if they would have offered crackers or croutonsfor the soup. Not a cookie eater so the desserts are lacking to me. Otherwise, all was fine for the most part. Read more
Sad to say that it appears this BJ’s location is going downhill. I was considering a burger until I saw the handwritten sign... at the front desk stating that burgers, sandwiches, bone-in wings or shrimp weren’t being served this evening. Looks likesomeone messed up a supplier order. My wife and I use to love this place, even considered it one of our favorites, but that wasfrom 2013-2015. Now that we are back in the area, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite restaurants. Perhaps we should havejust left that memory in the past. We visited this location on a Monday night at 6:30pm. We waited for about 10 minutes andwe’re seated. We both ordered Margaritas. Check out the picture - looks good, right? Well, that was about the only good partof it. By far, the worst margarita we have ever had. We’ve never had a margarita that you have to stir/mix after you order it.The bottom of the glass had some sort of sediment while the top portion was as clear as water. Now for dinner, I ordered apizza and my wife ordered a salad. Forty-five minutes later, my pizza arrived. The waitress told us about twenty minutes beforethat the salad was ready. My wife decided to wait so we could eat together. You know, the whole principle of going out to eat.Deciding to wait onthe salad was a mistake. The salad greens had wilted in the meantime and it only had four small pieces ofchicken. Not exactly what you would expect for a $17 salad. Side note, the waitress was extremely thorough and did check on usoften. She did explain the kitchen was backed up and pizzas were taking longer than usual. However, it’s not rocket science.I’ve worked in kitchens, big and small. When an order comes in that has one item that is quick to make and another that istaking longer than usual - you don’t make the quick item and let it sit for 20 plus minutes. You make it as the other item isfinishing, then presto, both finish at the same time. Overall, the worst experience at this location ever. Gr Read more
I haven’t been to this chain for about a decade. Lots has changed! Loved the beer flight-one of my fav things is variety and... trying new things, along with pairing. Really enjoyed the beer choices. Had the ahi salad, it was delish and perfect portion. Not too much! I signed up for the rewards, and bonus…free pazookie! I chose the strawberry shortcake and it was good but alittle too rich after my meal. Service was attentive and fast. Definitely will be back ! Read more
