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.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience Kendel. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.
