   Gold stars to every worker at this location on Sunday night, November 3rd. We were celebrating a belated birthday and the place was absolutely slammed. There were several big parties, which is always a strain on waitstaff. Our server was gracious as she apologized for shortages or items being unavailable (the bar was out of Patron). We are always understanding of these situations because we know it wasn't her fault. Every one - hosting staff, wait staff, bus staff - were working their fannies off to keep things moving forward. Management should be proud of how well the restaurant was represented by these hard-working people.

   Our server barely paid attention to us. She didn’t listen to us. We had to seek her attention and then say everything twice. This was an isolated incident. It’s never happened before. Still great food.

   What’s the point of making a 7 pm reservation if they’re not going to sit you until 8pm. When my husband went to check in at 730 pm they said “we’ll try to make you a priority since you made a reservation. “🤯 we will not be coming back during the weekend again. Once we finally got a table our serve was so great and accommodating. Her name was Amber or ashley. They have a great promo on Fridays though. $34 prime rib with soup or salad and two sides. We paid $78 before tip for a family of 4.

   We were seated immediately having a reservation and only needing a table for two. Food came promptly hot. They have 13.99 food specials that are a good value and a BbQ special on Thursdays. One change on the BBQ special is that they changed out the Tri-tip for a sirloin, that isn't as tasty or tender. Make sure you ask about how the asparagus looks before ordering. If it is thin, they tend to overcook and is crispy. The mixed grilled veggies is an option, which is usually red pepper, broccoli and cauliflower. Their soups are delicious. Both these options come with pezzuchis.

   Our server Mike was amazing! He made sure to keep our waters filled at all time, accommodated very well to allergies, and was overall amazing.

   This reservation was worthless. When we arrived 5 minutes before our time we were told they were having a special beer garden night and didn't have a table for us. We could split up into 2 groups and wait or sit outside where it was chilly. We decided to brave the weather and all sit together outside. The teenagers sat on the side with the broken heater and we, older folks sat under the working heater. Very disappointing and not sure if we'll use this app or go to BJ's again.

   Thanks for sharing your experience, Luke. We’re sorry to hear about the mix-up with your reservation and understand how frustrating that can be. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll work to improve our communication during special events to ensure a better experience next time.

    The restaurant was busy due to a baseball game, and servers were spread thin. The manager stepped up to fill the gaps, he and the servers were awesome and the food was great!
