BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ's was a mixed bag of good and not so good. We we're there on a Saturday night. Although Open Table said they were only two reservations available after 8:00 pm, there were plenty of empty tables when we got there. As for food, we ordered several appetizers as opposed to big meals. While the calamari was not rubbery with a nice crunch to the batter. The potstickers were good with a flavorful dipping sauce. Unfortunately, the avocado rolls may have been overdone and seem like they were filled with mush, not avocado chunks and the California club flatbread was rather bland and the bread itself was undercooked and doughy on the bottom. .We had an excellent waitress who came and checked on this regularly. But for me, the best was finding that they served their own ginger beer. I will say there are a number of other things on the menu that sound interesting and I'd be willing to go back and try.

I understand supply chain issues and inflation but this is ridiculous. The nachos barely had any toppings - severely lacking in chicken. My daughter said her Mac n cheese and mashed potatos were disgusting (it's kraft Mac n cheese. How do you mess that up?). My son's French fries were overcooked. The waitress was great. Very attentive. The hostess was awful. Asked for a booth. She said we'd have to wait 30 minutes to get a booth then seated two men in a booth 10 minutes after we sat down.

Very good food. Service is good too. Been a few years since my last visit to any BJ’s restaurant. I had a Nutty Brewnette. A BJ’s American Brown Ale home brew. Thoroughly enjoy it. Ordered their Ribeye medium with a baked potato and Broccoli. It too was good but the just a tad dry. My wife had the Ahi Tuna Salad. She said it was really good. And as a Mother’s Day gift, they gave her a nice glass. Recommend this location highly.
