BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

Completely agree with lackluster reviews.
Some of this is a new franchise trying to figure it out.
I have been going to this chain for nearly 20 years… this is the worst examples I have seen.
I hope they improve, this part of FoCo could use them. However, they have a long way to go.

Been here quite a few times and the food is really hit and miss — sometimes it’s really good and other times it really disappoints, ditto for the service. This new place sorta has a hip chic style of atmosphere and is a sorta cool type of brewery/​pizza/​burger/​bar/​chain California Restaurant. Booya!

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today — 3^rd or 4^th time we’ve been. I usually get the California Chicken Club with the crisp fires ~ not much to mess up there, and really not bad. Today, my wife ordered the fish and chips. The «chips» were OK, but the fish, although fresh from the fryer and HOT, was just grease SOAKED. I used to fry donuts in another life, and I know that temperature is critical for the food to NOT absorb the grease or shortening used in frying. Apparently, the fry cooks at BJ’s don’t know this little secret.
I would have my cali chick (as our waitress called it) again, although at $ 11 it seems pricey. I would definitely NOT order the fish & chips again, esp. at $ 14.
Although there were few patrons (Broncos were playing Pittsburgh, and the place was pretty deserted), it still seemed to take forever for our food to appear. Our waitress, Zoe, was very pleasant, however, and did a good job.

I’ve been here before. I’m sure I’ll go back if someone else wants to go. It’s just not very remarkable. The beer is okay. The food is okay. The price is a little high for mediocrity.

Had an excellent dinner. Deep dish pizza had a light, thick, crispy crust that was really good. Plenty of toppings on the pizza. Server was great. Only complaint was the wedge salad I had, lettuce was not good and tasted old.

I had a sandwich about a couple of weeks ago. The service was good and the food was good. The bathrooms were extremely clean and there is no reason why I wouldn’t go back to eat again if I am back in the area.

Came here with a coworker that kept speaking of the pot roast. Well to his surprise no pot roast. The waitress said that it was so go and she doesn’t know why it’s no longer on the menu… ouch
Once we finally got service (about 15mins after sitting down) it wasn’t too bad. The waitress was a little corky and scattered brained.
Food was ok. Nothing I would come back for.
My major complaint was we ordered an appetizer that the waitress forgot to order for us. When we mentioned it when our entrée came out she said oh yeah I forgot to grab it. Then about 5 mins later she came out with it. We assumed she would just take it off our bill but she didn’t. We were ready to go so we didn’t even mention it by the time our bills came.
With other choices in the area I won’t be back.

I’ve been to this location several times and every experience has been satisfactory or better. The food is delicious and served in a timely manner. The service is also very good as well, the wait staff has always been attentive from my experience.

Lots of seating and outdoor patio. Great food and bar. Menu offers wide selection to satisfy everyone.

Worst service experience in FC… they dumped drinks on my husband & me, still charged for them, didn’t bring napkins or anything to clean up the mess, we finally changed tables but the server who dropped the drinks on us took the silverware when she half-​assed cleaned up and I had to eventually go to the hostess stand to get new silverware & napkins. When the server who took our order finally came around he couldn’t find us… obviously no one told him what happened… and he talked to the manager who took an appetizer off the ticket which wasn’t even equal to the amount we were charged for the dumped drinks. If we hadn’t been starving we would have walked out. So we ate, paid & split. About a week later I sent an email explaining what happened and how disappointed I was since we had been there several times before but never received a response.

Admittedly, we were served by a trainee, so the hour we had to wait for our soup and salad might not be standard operating procedure. But she had nothing to do with how cold the restaurant was. Unfortunately, the soup was also cold. In addition, for $ 10.00 I came away hungry. Last of all, out of four checks, three were wrong. It was my first experience with a BJ’s restaurant. I probably won’t try it again any time soon.

I opted for BJ’s as a safe bet for a business meal with a client whose dietary preferences are unknown. I’ve eaten at other locations of this chain and enjoyed their fare.
The prime rib dip caught my eye and proved to be a wise choice. The bread was fresh and au jous was flavorful without falling into the trap of tasting like a melted salt lick. The beef was delicious, tender and ample. The strawberry lemonade wasn’t the finest I’ve ever sampled, but it was a pleasing balance of sweet and sour; quite refreshing. While waiting for my client, I sampled the stuffed mushrooms which were quite tasty. A light drizzle of juice from a lemon slice really made them pop. I am currently awaiting a white chocolate chip and macadamia nut pazookie, my favorite flavor of their signature dessert. Unless they take a flamethrower to it or serve one left over from last week, I expect it to be a delicious stroll down the decadent, sugar-​paved lane to Foodcomaland.
I knocked their rating a bit due to the service. The hostess was very nice and accommodated my seating request. My waiter was also nice, though during my extended wait for a client who pulled a no-​show, he seemed to forget that I was still present. Honestly, my wait for the client was quite lengthy before I finally heard from him and realized what had happened. As a result, I want to give my waiter the benefit of the doubt. That said, once I realized I was eating alone, it took several minutes to get his attention during his table-​hopping service circuit.
Damn, the pazookie arrived and looks delectable. Now I’m distracted. Suffice it to say, this was a good meal coupled with a minor service complaint. Ok, now for dessert!

This place has been great for take out when I order it. I have had to send back a burger from the online menu because the cooks didn’t read that I wanted no cheese. But the manager made it right while I waited for the new burger.
I went in today for lunch with my family and we ordered and other than bringing out the food and drinks we did not see our server at all. No refills unless I flagged him down.
For being so empty and only having 2 tables for our server to manage it seemed very odd to get this type of service. I think that Dan needs to step up his game.
I’ll try it again someday but for now I’m going to be going other places to eat.

Amazing service wonderful food, awesome beers !!
Cant wait to go back. I had the ribs and the meat was falling off the bone!
Ask for Megan G. great waitress !

We were in town to play soccer and called for lunch, maybe 20 minutes notice. They accommodated the group of 25, with a bunch of 13 year old girls and all went smooth! Good range of menu items.

I love this place. I use the for catering just about once or twice a week. It’s always a hit with my customers because the offer such a huge variety of foods. I always tell people «I’m going to bring healthy & unhealthy!» For 99.00 you get 2 large pizzas, two huge salads, 8 – 10 balsamic chicken breasts, chicken wings or tenders, 4 sides, & set ups for 10 – 15 people. I always add a pizooki and ice tea and lemonade. It’s enough food to feed an army. The staff is AMAZING! Chelsea takes great care of me every time I’m there. The manager Rob is a great guy too!
I haven’t even mentioned the awards program. I get 25.00 off every two lunches I do. Tonight I used that for dinner out with my wife. The dinner was amazing (Cherry Chipotle Salmon & Mahi Mahi). We got lettuce wraps with shrimp. They were great too! The pizooki with salt Carmel topped off our meal. It was a great meal, service was awesome, 25.00s off & the gave us a free pizooki!
Go to BJs for a great meal and make sure you get a beer too! Good hard working folks willing to go the extra mile.

We went here on last Saturday and had a good experience. Ambiance was pleasant, nice and quiet, service was fast and friendly. My pomegranate martini was lovely & liked it better than strawberry martini. Spinach stuffed mushrooms were amazing, loved the taste of lemon pesto sauce. We love Chicago’s deep dish pizza and that was the main attraction here. We ordered veggie deep dish and I would say pizza was great but not the same, really as close as we could get.

Went here for the first time for a late-​night dinner on a Sunday — no one around, so it was nice and quiet. It’s not a bad choice to go to for late-​night if you are on the south side of town (not a lot of options…), all their apps are half-​off and they have some good drink specials, 10-​close (midnight I think) Sunday-​Thursday. The apps were big enough that they worked for our meals. And half-​off, so only about $ 3.50−5 a plate! Was definitely put off by our waitress who kept coming to the table and interrupting us, and referring to ‘stuffing her face’ and talking bad about the cook… yeek. One of the few times I’ve seriously considered not leaving a tip.
I kind of want to go back during normal hours just to see what it’s «really» like, but first impression is ok chain restaurant food and raised-​eyebrows for the service.
Hot parking tip: you enter the lot somewhat awkwardly if you come in from the roundabout/​Sprouts side — you want to park on the SIDE of the building, not the back lot that you see first… apparently I was not the first to do this in my group. LOL

I’m not sure where any of these bad reviews are coming from and I certainly don’t agree with them. Obviously the people that pack the place every night don’t either.
This is my families favorite place to eat in Fort Collins. We’ve tried a bunch of items on their vast menu and have yet to have a bad meal. Service in typically wonderful, fast and friendly.
While it may not fit the local definition of a brewhouse, I do cut them some slack because they are a chain. The beer may not be brewed on location, but it is still good and the food is great. More than I can say for many of the other chains in this town.

Leave the funny sexual related name out of it. The food is gross, the place is dank and dark.
I left there wishing I could throw up and rid my body of the nasty food.
The waitress interrupted us each time she came over… rude?
I highly recommend you do not go here. Mcd’s is way better and cheaper than this crap
