   Had reservations at 6:30 and didn’t get seated until 40 minutes later. Server seemed overwhelmed and took awhile to get our drinks and food… when we finally received our food our ahi tuna salad was swimming in dressing. The server responded with “what do you want me to do with it”

   Wonderful night! We celebrated my birthday on a Monday night, and even though the place was packed, they seated us right away and the food was delicious! The wait staff worked together so well and made my birthday very special. This was our first time at a BJs, so the first impression was stellar.

   We had a reservation for seven and we did not get seated till 720. The food was very good. The service was not good at all. The server was very slow and non-attentive to the table.

   Thank you for sharing your experience Joan. 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.

   Everything was wonderful. My granddaughter’s Mac n cheese could have been hotter as well as my soup but truly we love coming here. It’s always very festive on Friday nights. My husband loves the beet selection.

   Andrea, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy the festive atmosphere and that your husband loves the beet selection. We appreciate your feedback on the temperature of the dishes and will ensure our team is aware. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

   Our waitress/management failed to tell us a very large group was coming in to the same section where we were seated. We had just ordered a dessert and asked her to bring our checks when it came out; then she got busy with the "new group". Our dessert was not delivered for over 30 minutes even after one member of our group went looking for a manager. She did eventually find our waitress again and explained our discontent. We were informed "we stayed too long" but she would get our checks. Our dessert got delivered by another staff person but not our checks. We could hardly talk to each other but decided since we had a menu we would figure out our totals and just leave it on the table. We informed the hostess as we left that we had done that and walked out. It will be a long time before I take my group back there. Too many other choices to dine.

   Reservation for 8 so got a pretty big booth, NICE!! We don't like restaurant chairs due to back injuries, so comfort was great. The wait staff was great too! The drinks, appetizers and main meals were all really good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

   Many of the menu selections as well as their signature stout were unavailable; sold out.

   Food was great. Always love going there. Waited 20 minutes for our cocktails that never came. I finally went to the bar where the drinks were sitting. Our server was not on his game.

    Seating was an issue at first. Hostess was overwhelmed and didn’t appear to be fully trained.
