About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
Time counts at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we’ve continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ’s a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we’ve put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven’t just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it’s because of them we’re continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ’s, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Positives- The food was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Negatives- Everything took forever. Our alcoholic beverages too too long to be served. The food took forever and was not delivered to our table all at once.

    Generally speaking, this is a good solid place to go for lunch And not much of a fan of it for dinner The food is good. The prices are on the higher side of there. Unfortunate situation in general has been for service That reached a new low on this visit Our server was very nice He did not know the menu He could not answer any questions about food on the menu The service was average and acceptable Although we waited almost 15 minutes until he came back so we could pay the check, which only happened after I was finally able to flag another employee to ask … for at least get another person’s tension so we could pay our check and leave  Chicken wings, which we ordered buffalo style, medium or less than 11 miles. The mahi fish tacos were good. Nothing memorable, but nothing to complain about either. If you’re fortunate enough to get a average or better server, you could have a good lunch at this place

    Thanks for sharing your experience, Howard. We're glad you enjoyed the chicken wings and mahi fish tacos. We appreciate your feedback on the service, and we’ll definitely address these concerns to ensure a better experience in the future. Your input helps us improve!

    The food we ordered that was supposed to be hot was barely warm. The nachos lacked chicken, there were more broken chips than not broken chips. The nachos were bland and flavorless as well. Service, not rushed was too slow. From time of order to receiving food was too long. We ordered desserts that seem to take 15-20 minutes to get. With all the available options out there, I would choose someplace else next time.
    Bj's Restaurant & Brewhouse - AlbanyResponded on 4 May 2025
    Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your meal, Michael. We want all our guests to leave with warm smiles and full stomachs. If you're ever unsatisfied with your order, please speak with an on-site manager, so we can fix it for you right away.

    Everyone’s meals were delicious, the salmon in the salmon bowl was cooked perfectly! Spicy mango margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had! Our server Carlos was patient and gave us great suggestions based on our questions, he added a level of fun to the evening!

    This place needs a management overhaul. We dineout regularly and because this was listed as Kid friendly we did a late lunch. 2 hours later and we had had it and asked to speak to the manager. Even the manager was condescending. It was hard to be understanding when we could not even get him to acknowledge there was an issue. Meals were cold. Service was non existent. And the “manager” said they were slammed. The dining area was not even 1/3 full. Very disappointed. And it takes alot for me to complain.

    I was a few minutes late for my reservation, then have to wait for over 30 minutes. When we sat down, I noticed there were plenty of empty tables. While we were waiting at the door, I have seen quite a few potential customers turned around and left! Waited for over 30 minutes for our food and it was stone cold! No knife and fork to eat!
