BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

The food was okay, there are better locations. I went in around 7 and had the server by the name of Jesus and he was terrible. He barely said three words and never acknowledged us. I will not be returning to this location.

This is heartbreaking for me to write because I love this restaurant… My office took me here for my birthday at lunch time… We sat at a large booth to the left of the door. The food was great! Our drinks when we could get them were fine but the server lol — oh that server was the worse her name I believe was Audrey or something similar but she was what made the whole experience horrible… Your job is to be a server and with her customer service skill set she isn’t where she needs to be, such a rude individual to have a job such as hers. One of my co-​workers was even trying to help her out lol and close the menu for her lol and her response for that was we have people that we pay to do that lol

I’m still not a fan of chains.
The apps were nice and the selection of drinks is great. I am not a huge fan of the food. The avocado on the tuna thing was tasty.
The queso was great!
Do you want to know the best thing?
I thought so.
Our server in the bar area was Jamison.
Now that is a great idea for hiring a great employee — attentiveness and Jamison.
Thanks for your help.

Never had a problem here. Staff is always nice and pleasant. Mr. Deliciousness always brings out our food with a smile and joke! Root beer wings & avocado rolls are pretty dang amazing, along with the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. My favorite is the SALTED CARAMEL PIZOOKIE!!! So delicious! They have a cookie, in a mini pizza pan (hence piz-​ookie) they put 2 scoops of ice cream on top and have some caramel drizzled. Yummy.

The food is pretty average compared to other restaurants of this sort. I got the grilled salmon with quinoa and it was delicious! The portion was pretty small for the salmon but my friends got pasta and their portion looked big. The atmosphere is very casual so it would be nice to come with your friends and coworkers to just chill and have a beer.

The pizza here is so good! If you are not into thick crust, make sure to ask for think crust! The thin crust pizza is super yummy and I love the BBQ Chicken flat bread! In addition they have 2 happy hours during the week. Monday-​TR they have a late night happy hour from 9 – 11 which features their mini pizzas and a couple bucks off their cocktails! I love their chicken wings. I always ask for the a little extra crispy! Yum Yum! We had a pretty cool bartender that took good care of us!

Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend. Servers were great and on top of things: so no issues there.
I ordered a mini pizza and expected it to be a larger quantity for its price. However, I was mistaken. I paid about $ 10 for a mini pizza and didn’t feel that I got the value for its price.
I’d recommend getting a burger if you want to spend an average restaurant budget ($ 10 – 15). It’s way more worth it.

the food is good ! nice serviced. i love the mushroom satted with spinach and baby pork. Beautiful place open until 12am. Abslutely be back !

This place has a very nice atmosphere. Service was enjoyable, our waitress Diane was exceptional. The food fell a little short. It was just average.
I ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich at $ 10.95 was quite a big portion I just really didn’t enjoy the BBQ sauce.
One thing that will keep me coming back is the Pizookie dessert. They are delicious!
I believe with the food being subpar yet the service being wonderful a 3.5 star review suits this joint pretty well.

I really like this place. Prices are a little high but their beer is good and the service has always been acceptable. Pazookies are amazing and always put me in a sugar coma.
Definitely go on fathers day because they give you a really cool glass beer mug with the date on it.

The deep dish pizza is good with a nice crust. If you have a chance to enjoy a weekday lunch try the endless soup and salad offer. Chicken tortilla soup is excellent. Much better quality than competitors. Friendly service every time. It does get busy on most evenings but I’ve never been disappointed.

One star is generous. I’ve been to BJ’s in San Antonio, and the food and service was stellar. I took my family in Austin here, hoping for the same experience. Avoid this particular BJ’s. I do have hope for the chain, though. To compare locations…
In San Antonio, at dinner time on Sunday for a table of two we had to wait almost 30 minutes for a table– the place was packed!
At this location, my family of 6 was seated immediately in an empty restaurant. The waiter disappeared with our IDs for an awkward amount of time because he was suspicious. (Why would we use fake IDs with our elderly parents at dinner at a mediocre restaurant??)
Despite being the only table in his section, the waiter mixed up our drinks and entrees. The vegetables were undercooked and looked brown compared to the bright green featured in the menu. The food was edible, but not spectacular tasting. Most definitely not worth the price tag attached.

The beer, the food, the ambiance. This place has it all. I have never had a bad experience here. And go ahead and try the calamari. It’s sublime.

Upbeat staff, consistently good food and a vast assortment beers & cocktails has been my experience at every location I’ve been to so far. The Arbor Walk location is my current favorite and a great place for a lunch meeting (if you don’t mind a little noise).

I have to give this chain a solid 3.5 star great review because of consistency, quality, friendly staff and a large beer menu.
I typically order a flatbread pizza because it’s good and always consistent.
The menu is extensive and includes the alcohol content of their homemade craft beer. Also listed on the menu is pizza. And, well, other stuff I’ll never order because I really enjoy their pizza and beer.
I’ll be back.

My first experience at this place was at the El Paso location, and I just wasn’t impressed! The food was just not to my liking and too much on the plate! Fast forward to 2015 and my friend suggests this place in Austin. I noticed that the restaurant experience in El Paso and Austin differ from each other. Service was fast, friendly, and not a lot of chatter from the server, which I enjoy! I’m glad I came with my friend, because she is familiar with the menu and cocktails, she new I wanted healthy options! To start off I had the Twisted Spinach Salad, delicious with bacon crumbles, a light vinaigrette, and feta cheese. Next came the 2 grilled chicken pitas, never had this, and I loved it! I got so full, I was able to take the other one back to the hotel! It came with a side of some cold quinoa salad, very good, and I wanted more! The drink was also delicious, yes it had some kind of alcohol and strawberries, I just forgot the name. I’ll be back, and I’ll give the El Paso location another chance, 3^rd time a charm?

They actually have very underrated salads. Beer, yes. Atmosphere, yes. Hot and tired and need to duck in somewhere, yes you’ll do fine. The pizza here is supposed to be one of their specialties. Sorry, not bad, just not impressed either.
The wait staff was good, in fact very attentive. Yes I will go here, but I will be selective in ordering. This place is in a decent shopping district and could really blow it up with some food that was a bit more outside the lines. Unfortunately it is slight predictable and sometimes not all that flavorful.
I am not saying not to come here, just measure you expectations for the mediocre.

Decided to eat something different, something, new. Not my usual dishes. I ordered baby back ribs with big poppa smokers sweet money championship rub, served with BJs Jeremiah red ale bbq sauce, with a side of white cheddar mashed potatoes and a house salad with a thousand island dressing. The ribs were good, meaty, and I really loved the rub and side bbq sauce. I did not get to meet Big Poppa nor Jeremiah. I guess they were gone already. Improvement… After serving your guest ribs, give them wet wipes or a wet towel, something, we eat ribs with our hands, at least I do.

BJ’s is a chain I can count on when I’m hungry and need a place I know will be consistent and have something both my husband and I enjoy. I always get the thai chicken mango salad off their enlightened menu but decided to switch it up and try something new today.
I got the mediterranean chicken pita tacos and they were really good! So filling that I couldn’t finish it. Two come on the plate with diced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, and a greek yogurt sauce that tasted exactly like sour cream. I thought they were fine without it. It’s also served with ‘bistro grains’. I couldn’t tell if the grain was barley or farro but I did catch the red quinoa, corn, and black beans and thought they went well together.
My husband surprised me by ordering off the enlightened menu too, but he got the bison burger that came with slaw and he cleaned his plate. We like to share something on the small bites menu as an appetizer sometimes and tried the fried artichokes today which I thought were just okay. The dipping sauce reminds me of a ranch but more tangy and the artichoke bites themselves could have used more seasoning.
I think the biggest advantage of dining here is their rewards program which gives you points for every dollar you spend that you can redeem later for free food. It costs nothing to get their card, you just have to remember to check in with it at the hostess stand each time you come. Download their app and that way you will always have your card number on you.

I’m not a huge fan of chain restaurants, especially because there are so many amazing locally owned restaurants in town. However, when I’m looking for a high protein low calorie option, I will usually go to BJ’s if my friends insist on going out when I’m trying to «behave». Their enLIGHTened menu suits my purpose.
Today I tried the cherry chipotle glazed salmon. Holy crap was it good. I substituted veggies for the cous cous. It comes with asparagus, which I love. But the asparagus was really dry. That’s a crime. The veggies were a bit undercooked, but still ok.
What I liked about this lunch was that they have a secret list (if you ask for it) that shows the calorie, fat, sat fat, sodium, carbs, fiber & protein content of all their menu items. I was considering the lemon thyme chicken, but omg way way way too much sodium. That’s a shame.
I’ve eaten here on several occasions and their veggies are usually pretty good. Today was an off day. When I’m not behaving, their pizookies are sooooo good. But I’m still mad that they discontinued the red velvet pizookie. It was divine.
