   The food was decent and offered good value. We visited early in the day and requested an outdoor table. While the service was a bit slow, we didn’t mind. However, we were disappointed that our two kids’ birthdays—which we mentioned during the reservation—went unacknowledged. We’re not sure if they typically celebrate such occasions, but it was still a letdown.

   We visited BJ's on Valentine's evening 2025 for dinner. Over the last few years we loved the food at BJ's and everything always tasted really great. This time, we noticed that the food was good and not the same as previous times that we visited. It looked like it was thrown onto our plate and the flavors of the steak and chicken were ok but nothing to write home about. In addition the restaurant was very cold even though there was a full house. Many people in the restaurant ate their dinner with coats on.

   Seems like the wait staff were trying to rush us out for our table. Pizza could have used more time in the oven

   Food was a little off. Fried chicken piece very small. Mashed potatoes cold. Another member in party food cold too

   Good lunch today. We partook in their $13 lunch specials. Great value! These now include a mini pizookie as well! Service was adequate.

   They seemed to be understaffed. The kitchen didn’t get our order made per request. And the poozikie was under cooked.

    Good lunch today. Food and service were good. Sat in the bar area to enjoy a couple happy hour deals during the football games.
