We absolutely loved the cream of crab soup! My husband and I ordered the double cut pork chop dinner! The portions were so generous we ended up taking home 2 doggie bags!

We will drive out of our way to eat here. The good is always plentiful and delicious. My husband had the lunch trio which was a great value. Reservations are not always needed but we like to make them just so we can get a high top table in the bar area.

The food was excellent. We went to the Gandy Dancer first and had apps and drinks. Carly, our waitress was outstanding. Then we went to Grand Concourse for lunch. Food was very good and again we had outstanding service from our waiter Jason. We really had a good time, group of 7, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered including desserts.

About the restaurant
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.

Burgers were only warm, french fries cold. Chicken alfredo was extremely dry and I needed more sauce. I had to wait 10 minutes for my food while everyone else had theirs. Very disappointed.

My cousins and I went to celebrate my cousins birthday. The ambiance was very nice, low lighting, and japanese decorations. The restaurant is set up with 3 different kitchens: sushi bar, robata, and robata grill. Since different items are made in different kitchens food comes out when it is ready, not at one time. The server informed us that each meal is designed to be family style. However, the servings did not meet that expectation. Our server gave us a lay down of the menu and was very informative of some of the restaurants favorites. We ordered a california roll, pad thai, korean ribs, and korean fried chicken. The food was very flavorful, seasoned, and tasted fresh. We all agreed our favorite was the korean ribs. Overall the experience was great, but the portions are not big enough for family style.
