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.

    Nice calm dinner tonight. Usually much more lively, but I think the students went home for Thanksgiving.

    Grand Cru is now my favorite BJ's beer. I have had many of their seasonal offering and none of them really caught my eye. Grand Cru really takes the cake and they should really carry it year round.
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - BloomingtonResponded on 19 November 2024
    Jack, we’re thrilled to hear that Grand Cru has become your favorite! Your feedback on seasonal offerings is invaluable, and we appreciate your passion for our brews. We’ll definitely share your suggestion about making Grand Cru a year-round option. Cheers to great taste!

    Visited tonight after the IU basketball game and I am glad we made a reservation. Service was excellent and our server was very sweet and helpful finding gluten free options. I like having a place in town that has good gluten free buns.

    Cheryl, we're thrilled to hear you had a great experience after the game! It's wonderful that our team could assist you with gluten-free options. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon for more delicious meals!

    My family had a wonderful experience at BJ's. Our server Rey did a great job and offered us some tastes of beer when looking through the menu. Although the price of beer was a bit high, we still enjoyed them. The food was great and we will definitely be back again.

    Thanks for your fantastic review, Stacy! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great time with Rey and enjoyed the food and beer selections. We appreciate your feedback on pricing and look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful experience!

    The food was ok, standard type American chain pub food. The service was awful, way, way under staffed and bar drinks took literally 30 mins. Waitress was rude, probably from being over worked. Nevertheless, I can’t recommend at 3 stars or worse…… It was a bust.
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - BloomingtonResponded on 12 November 2024

    Great lunch today with my daughter and son in law. We were greeted and sat right away and the host was very warm and welcoming. Food came out quick and was very tasty. Overall great experience once again.

    Food took forever and just wasn't great. Service was bare minimum.

    Received 2 calls to confirm, one in the late morning and again in the early evening. They should have told us that they couldn’t accommodate us. Seated right away, but took over 30 minutes to get first drink, second never arrived. Ordered apps that just never came. Food took 90 minutes to arrive and when it did, that was when we were told that they were out of the apps that we ordered and one of the entrees. So we had 7out of 8 meals, but no napkins or silverware to eat with. That took too long too. Food got cold. Yes, I lost my keys patience and yelled, I apologized. The entire meal was comped. Manager had zero answers for any of the multitude other of things that went wrong. But then again there really could be no answers. On the plus side, the restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, and the food was really pretty good. The server was also very sweet, and very frustrated that she had no answers. The 90plus minutes to get our food was just much too long and not even being able to get a drink was ridiculous.

    We completely understand your frustration with the wait you had to endure; our team should have been much more timely and attentive with your meal. Thank you for your feedback. If there is anything else you would like to share with us, please email feedback@bjsrestaurants.co m with the name your review was posted under and that it is about our Bloomington restaurant. Please allow us a few days to get back to you. Thank you.
