   Yummy lunch and attentive, quick service, graduation weekend. A couple people in our party had to be in and out within an hour, and the team was awesome with iaccommodating us.

   We had a fantastic experience at BJ’s Brewhouse in Gainesville! They graciously accommodated our large party during a very busy graduation weekend, and everything went smoothly. All of our orders were correct, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating—especially helpful with dietary needs, including gluten-free options. The food was great, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Highly recommend for both small gatherings and large celebrations!

   Very poor service. Servers not attentive to our table. Slow food service. It was a busy evening but overly slow. We were at the restaurant for over 2 hours for dinner.

   I made a reservation the day before. I still had to wait. I was seated by a nice waiter. I waited 40 mins for our food. This is my second time eating there. I ordered the same thing, salmon with asparagus..the salmon was much smaller and tasted sour. The asparagus was overcooked.it was like eating oily hay. They finally bring my sweet potato fries after I finished eating my meal. My bf ordered steak, frieds and broccoli. The broccoli was cold and raw. The steak was smaller than one the menu photo and it was like cutting and eating leather. It was not worth 63.00. My experience at BJ was terrible and it was embarrassing because I told my bf about my first time eating there. We decided to eat there for valentine's day.

   Pleasant and fast service. We enjoyed our dishes and will likely return. Most entrees are over $20 but that is pretty much in most places nowadays.

   We had a reservation for 7:30 on 12/06 got sat with no issues. Didn’t have a server greet us until 7:50. Understanding it was a Friday night we gave her grace even though they were not busy. Didn’t get a refill unless we flagged her down. Had two people get the same meal, bacon cheeseburger both cooked to medium so there wasn’t any confusion bringing the food out. One was cooked close enough to medium while the other was charbroiled it seemed. Didn’t send it back because once our server dropped the food off which was cold we couldn’t find her for refills, sauces, or to ask for a new burger that wasn’t burnt. Overall a bad experience and very displeased I decided to spend my money here.

    The Pizookies are a favorite for a reason! The Smores one was delicious.
