BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ’s has been my favorite kick back restaurant for years! Today’s experience reminded me why I love them. The food was great and service was amazing!

I love BJ’s, but I just had a terrible experience here and I hate to bring up race.
I asked to watch the soccer game and it took 10 minutes to switch the Channel. After they switched the channel, a couple of folks, that happen to be white, that barely arrived, complained about the soccer game and wanted to see baseball. The staff immediately changed the channel to the baseball.
Honestly this is beneath me and BJ’s, it’s the the fact that it happen. The server should have kindly told the couple that there was a request before them, and should have given them alternative accommodations.

I’ve been enjoying BJ’s Summerlin since I first moved here back in 2006. They’re pretty quick with their service and they always get my order right unlike some other places that seem to forget little details. When I say no l don’t want lettuce on my sandwich, they don’t put any on it! When I ask for condiments on the side, they’ll put them on the side!
My favorite item to order there is their California Chicken Sandwich. I’m not a huge fan of avocado, but the combination of avocado with green chiles and the juiciness of the chicken is just out of this world!
Of course, you can’t talk about BJ’s without mentioning the Pizzookie! I can’t tell you how many of these I’ve tried, but it’s a lot! They’re just the most delectable dessert in the world! I cannot stress how good they are!
Best time to go is definitely a little before the lunch rush around 11:30 — 11:45 AM or later evenings after 7:00 PM.

Alrighty-​Roo if you are ready to enjoy a nice dinner with some friends and or family, well BJ’s is a cool place to be. If it’s a Friday or Saturday you know the drill, if you get there anytime after 5pm it’s gonna be a wait. That is usually a good, strong sign that the restaurant is good. I recommend trying to get there a little early and have some appetizers and drinks while you wait for your dinner. The appetizers are so good and there is something for everyone which is cool for even the picky eaters. We have been going there for years and it never disappoints. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is parking can be a little tight. Hope you check it out and enjoy your meal.

Over the years, we have been happy with BJ. However today, we had the worst experience ever. My water glass still have food stain upon delivery. We order a stake medium rare, it came out well done. Request to be returned, the waiter didn’t even apologize. All he said was «Do you still want the stake?» Really nasty attitude! The Ziti was way too salty. The salad tasted it was left over from last night. The salad was soggy. It’s a competitive market in this town, the unprofessionalism of the staff plus the cleanliness just doesn’t work for me.

We come to this location often. The service both at the bar and tables are always good. They had a special going on. 2 for $ 25. It was a choice of salad or soup for each person (2 people) medium pizza and a pizookie. Such a great deal. Not sure how long it lasts. Will be back soon!

First of all I’m not sure why I couldn’t find this place on Unilocal while I was there. Had to google it then locate it. Anyways… Came here for dinner and can’t really go wrong here. Had a beer sampler and they had a 25 dollar special for 2 so my fiancé and I had it. It included either a soup or salad and a medium deep dish pizza along with their famous pizookie. Everything was delicious and our server was wonderful. This place normally doesn’t get too crowded and the wait is very minimal. Will def be a regular here.

Had dinner here last night. This was my second time dining at BJ’s and first time at this specific location. I went with my tried and true favorite– Ahi Tuna Poké, served with these amazing crisp chips and avocado. Honestly, the Poké here is worth making the drive for alone. It very closely mirrors the quality of what I’ve experienced in Maui. After sharing that, I order the Cherry Glazed Salmon to go. Both were amazing.
The restaurant is in between casual and formal. The bar is well-​stocked, and the ambience is really nice. The place is fairly dimly lit, but just enough so you can still see your dining mates and your plate.
We only had to wait 15 – 20 minutes for a booth, but once we were seated, we didn’t have any servers checking on us for another 20 minutes, which we weren’t thrilled about. I think that other than being pretty short-​staffed, it’s a pretty great place.

I love this place!!! Especially since they added more low carb options and new menu items! The dishes I am recommending so far are the salmon with asparagus and sweet cherry sauce, definitely I am crazy about the honey Sri racha Brussell sprouts, the ahi tuna salad is delicious as well!!! Also I love how they have the BJ rewards program and all the promotions and discounts they offer, which then would justify why I would eat here more than once a week!!! Keep up the good work! A great place where everybody in the family is happy even the kids!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to a BJs since there’s just so many places for a late dinner in Las Vegas.
First, Krystle, our server, was fantastic. She knew her stuff. As my husband was choosing his «Pick 4» beers (@$ 6.95 great deal), she could tell what kind of beers he liked and gave him some suggestions. He ended up changing two to try something new. And he was happy he did.
Because it has been a while since we’ve been to BJ’s, asked our server what she would recommend as I wanted more of a dip. We went with her suggestion of the Pork chili verde Queso dip, and we were happy we did.
Dinner was good. My husband with with a rack of ribs, while I went with the shrimp and asparagus penne. However, because I’m more of a noodle person, our server was okay with me changing penne to spaghetti noodle.
And of course, we had dessert. Pizookie! With the amount of options, she suggested that we do a half-​and-​half. I choose the white chocolate macadamia nut while my husband choose Peanut Butter. Next time, we’ll try not to fill up so much and go with the Pizookie Trio instead.
And lastly, be sure you get that «$ 10 off $ 35» deal. It ends on 4÷6÷2016.

we opted to come Saturday late afternoon. It wasn’t very crowded… YAY for beating the crowd.
We sat at a booth at the bar. I couldn’t decide between baby back ribs or pizza. I can get pizza anywhere right!!! BRING ON THE RIBS! OMG… super tender, just the right amount of sauce and the French Fries were über hot and crispy and thin. Just the way I like them.
E of course got the jambalaya. Didn’t he get this before lol. Yep just checked previous review… a creature of habit he is :)
I am so bad at getting the names of the wait staff to include them in my reviews but yep… once again I didn’t get it. Shout Out to the gentleman who waited on us in the big booth on Saturday late afternoon in the bar area :) He was nice, fast and not annoying checking in on us every 30 seconds yet not taking forever and a decade to come back and check in on us.
Awesome evening yet again at BJ’s!
idiotic self forgot to use my rewards card… oopsie! Next time right!!!

The neat thing about hiking is that after burning all those calories, there is the guilty free post-​hike meal. After hiking on the UYE: Hike at the Potato Knoll, I joined up with Robert. W for a post hike meal at BJ’s. It was a hop and a skip northeast on State Route 159.
At 11:20 am, the parking lot, which is at the northwest corner of Route 159/​Charleston at Pavilion Center across from Red Rock Resort was nearly full. That is a good sign.
Robert. W and myself sat toward the back of the restaurant where they have the microbrewery. My first impression was olfactory. There was a delicious smell permeating the restaurant. And we chatted and chatted. But when we chatted we were looking at a table minus menus. Where was the server? It seemed like we had spent an equivalent amount of time hiking from the Route 159 parking lot to the Potato Knoll until our waitress came on the scene. She half-​apologized stating that she just started. «Humm,» I thought to myself, «what about the servers who had been passing us with no sign of acknowledgement?»
After the waitress handed us our menus, it was difficult making a decision. This is one of those restaurants that serve good breakfast and lunch. I was in a lunch mood. Decisions! Decisions! Should I go for the roast beef? The chicken club? The portobello Swiss? I finally decided on the crispy jalapeño burger. After a 4.5 mile hike, there was no guilt chowing down this 1,350 calorie burger. The waitress never hurried us, and let me take my time choosing the sandwich. Between the time of ordering til the food reached the table, the waitress handed us our drinks. Regardless that this is a restaurant and microbrewery, I went for a Pepsi.
The crispy jalapeño burger was delicious but not exceptional delicious like the Spicy Miso Burger I ate in Bachi Burger last Sunday. The thick burger was topped with the right ingredients: housemate guacamole, smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayonnaise, red onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños. Equally as delicious as the crispy jalapeño burger was the potato wedges. This burger that is $ 11 and change includes either string fries or potato wedges. I favor potato wedges over string fries. These were tasty potato wedges. I felt that they could of filled the plate a bit more with the potato wedges.
BJ’s was a good choice for the post-​hike meal. Robert got to enjoy breakfast and I got to enjoy lunch. Based on this experience, I will Unilocal out that BJ’s serves good food but needs improvement in service. If I was alone, I would of walked out and reviewed it 2 stars.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years. Today I stopped in with a friend for a post hike beer and breakfast.
A bit slow to start as it seems like our server was just coming on duty. No other server could be bothered to get even a water or drop off a menu. I give those servers a one star rating. Our server was nice, and prompt and gets 4 stars. I’ve usually gotten decent service over the years… so this was just weird.
Food, as always, is good. Eggs, french toast, applewood bacon… all good. I really like the crunchy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing here as well. Mini pan pizzas are also delish! Never an issue with food quality here.
The menu is extensive, and they have a nice selection of beers. Their Hefeweizen is nice. Everything from Pale Ales to dark. They also have on tap the usual favorites Blue Moon, Stella, etc. etc.
I’ve always liked coming here, plenty of tv screens for sports. There is an offer on Unilocal for BOGO. Try it out and see if you enjoy it.

Was running around all day and by 9pm I just wanted to have a beer and a little pub food. I’ve had some BAD pub food last 3 restaurants! I’ve ordered take out from BJs before but haven’t sat at the bar.
It wasn’t crowded. Tracy immediately came up and offered me a menu and asked about drinks. I wasn’t familiar with any of their beers so I got a few tastes and then decided. Then I realized they had and did that. (Thankfully before she poured the big glass… which turned out to be my favorite of the flights)
I ordered guacamole and chips and I swear it hit the bar in front of me in 6 seconds. Thin, fresh warms chips and great guac. I nibbled on that. Explored the massive menu. Worked on my beer flight and decided i was still hungry. Ordered fried artichoke. Again… 60 seconds and piping hot. Amazing.
It was fairly slow so I noticed everyone was cleaning. I don’t mean just wiping down the bar I mean the stuff that a lot of grubby places don’t do every day.
The experience was great. Tracy was fast, friend, knowledgable. I asked a lot of questions and she patiently answered and since I was alone she came by and chatted a bit when she wasn’t totally busy. (I even asked questions about the spoon hanging from the tap because I was curious and other kind of dumb things that interested me.)
The whole experience was as good as it gets for just walking in and wanting to nosh and drink. I love the pizza. I’m going to have to go back and try something more substantial.
Thanks Tracy! You made it a very pleasant visit for me.
(Manager… give the woman a raise!)

Wow. Really impressed. This is a chain restaurant? My dad and step mom took myself and kids here after a long day of planes, walking and driving. I was famished and would have devoured anything put in front of me.
First of all, very nice space. Cozy, yet spacious. Modern, but comfortable. Our server was Xavier and he was delightful. We were taken care of at precisely the right pace. The flow of our meal was perfect, even for my overly-​impatient father!
Drinks came out quickly, my son ordered the house-​made root beer and I stole a sip. Very good! My iced tea was fine and everyone else enjoyed theirs. Xavier made sure to refill my kids’ drinks, and asking first if they could have more soda! Much appreciated. My step mom had a coupon for a free app so we chose the avocado egg rolls. We all enjoyed them. 3 whole egg rolls cut into 6 pieces. Just enough to kick off the meal.
The menu is huge! It takes a minute to navigate. There is another chain restaurant that has a dessert gimmick (ahem CHEESECAKE) and a very large menu as well. I had a very sub par experience there so the large menu scared me. Glad to see my apprehension was misplaced!
Kids meals were modestly priced at 5.99. Both of mine went for the mini corndogs, 8 of them! Fries were yummy too!
I ordered the tomato bisque and the seared tuna salad. Wow. I have not one criticism and that is quite hard to do! I would eat these things every day if I could. The bowl of soup and the salad were the perfect amount of food, satisfying to the last bite. I usually ask for the dressing on the side, since almost always they drench it down, but theirs was done perfectly. Ingredients were well balanced and fresh. I was also pleased with the price point. $ 15.99?! I didn’t pay, but I was surprised that it wasn’t a $ 19.99 dish.
Easy five stars. I wish I was this satisfied with the value, quality of food & service, as well as the overall experience every time I dined out.

The portions here are surprisingly large. For a chain restaurant, the food quality is quite good. A very, very easy 4-​star review. Have no fear about ordering here, you may not be totally wowed by your experience but you’ll definitely not be disappointed.
My wife and I both ended up ordering the same thing: Santa Fe Salad. She got chicken, I got chicken and in addition the salmon (typically it’s a substitution, I ordered double meat). I ordered mine without bell peppers as well.
A bad restaurant would reply to removing bell peppers with «Sorry the salad is pre-​made we can’t do subtractions.» BJ’s just said «okay». That’s a great first sight.
As appetizers we had Chicken Potstickers and Potato Skins.
Let me just review all the food at once: for the price, I got larger portions than expected; the flavor was great, the food was cooked well, the variety of ingredients in the dishes was as-​expected for potato skins, and was a pleasant surprise for the salads.
I’m not sure why I don’t give this a 5-​star review. 4 seems like the right answer. While everything was good — really good, just what I was looking for and up to my standards — it is still a chain restaurant, and nothing really *pops* about it in a unique or outstanding way.
BJ’s is definitely one of my go-​to restaurants for classic, totally solid American-​style food (even though I ordered a mexican-​inspired entrée salad and an asian-​inspired appetizer).

Yep, I am a fan. Yep, it is a chain. It’s a chain done right and I give credit where credit is due. I enjoy a good beer, and whether it’s a BJ’s house brew or a guest tap, I always find something hoppy and malty to drink. I usually patronize the bar area, which is my go-​to at most establishments, and this one is non-​smoking so it’s always a good choice. Servers and bartenders are always great and if you can make it to a beer dinner I highly recommend it.
Besides beer, I generally order stuffed mushrooms, potato wedges (not fries), salad (they have several that I like) or pizza. On a rare occasion I have a pizzookie. It’s an awesome dessert, I just don’t do sweet very often.
The mushrooms are probably my favorite menu item. I think they are stuffed with the spinach and artichoke dip, among other things, and I cannot get enough of them. The pizza is great. It’s pan pizza, like pizza hut style only really good. Not to be confused with deep dish, it’s just a nice thick buttery crust and just slightly doughy. Health food it is not.

Pizza has always been a specialty here and I’ve tried a few of the personal size.
The beer is pretty good too. I wasn’t sure this place would be good for a date but it was rather fun. We were seated close to the bar which worked out well. It’s rather a family heavy crowd in general. The ginormous menu is Cheesecake Factory size, which I find annoying.
I had the Italian spicy thin crust pizza and that was very tasty. I love a spicy pie!
The 4 beer sampler I had was good too. My dining partner had a happy hour beer and wasn’t offered another before happy hour ends, which a good server should always do! He did get another at happy hour price after asking, so crisis averted!

SCRUMPTIOUS THICK PIZZAS!
I absolutely love BJ’s so after a doctors visit we had were hungry & unanimously chose this spot since it was also on the way home. We ordered take out & decided on 2 LARGE pizzas… when we arrived to pick up we noticed on the board that there was a family style package meal that includes 2 Large pizzas, salad, wings, & 2 sides for around $ 5 more than what we were already paying for the 2 pizzas we ordered & when we tried to mention it to Brianna when paying out she was just super rude about it & also had no idea about this special. «o… I guess you can…» in a rude tone of manner i would have to say as we pointed out what their special entails. We also had to witness her being a bit toney w/​another person that was trying to apply to the place… =/​that’s my reason for the 3 star…
The food was great though even if it was take-​out… by the time we got home it was still hot & delicious. But one thing that really SUCKED was that we had asked for extra ranch on the side for the pizza & when we got home, all we see is the one ranch that came w/​the wings =[
MASHED POTATO — very smooth & rich creamy flavor… I love it when such a simple dish is made perfect.
FRIES — crisp skinny fries Can’t complain they’re fries.
BUFFALO WINGS — the sauce was on the side & it came w/​a good amount of celery sticks.
2 LARGE BUFFALO CKN PIZZA — although I usually go w/​the GREAT WHITE, the Buffalo chicken pizza here is delicious… not too overwhelming & perfect texture to the crust as ALWAYS & the right amount of protein & veggie ratio for each bite!
SANTA FE CHICKEN SALAD — refreshing salad w/​some crisp to it w/​the tortilla strips & the Santa Fe dressing was awesome.
Hope to be back to try the dine in experience since I usually go to the one on eastern. Hopefully it will be a bit more friendly when dining there.

We’ve been eating at BJ’s on West Charleston since we moved here. With a large assortment of menu choices, a kid’s menu, and a nice beer selection (including BJ’s own delicious assortment of brews), there’s something here for everyone.
If you’ve never been before, or you get lost in the large menu, I’d recommend the Crispy Fried Artichokes (artichoke hearts) or the Avocado Egg Rolls for a starter. Moving on to main course choices, try the Bacon Cheese Burger, New Orlean’s Jambalaya, or one of the Tavern Cut Pizzas. The Spicy Pig or Garlic Chicken Pesto are both favorites. If you’re in the mood for salad as a main course, definitely check out the Kale & Roasted Brussel Sprouts Salad. There is also a good assortment of dessert options for anyone who is still hungry after the meal. Finally, there’s a gluten-​free menu for those who want or need to adhere to a gluten-​free diet.
In the larger restaurants in the chain, the noise level is slightly above average, and has even been noisy at times, but it’s never been too loud.
As I mentioned, BJ’s brews it’s own beer; you have 10 beers and a hard cider available to chose from. They also carry a nice assortment of others beers as well, so you’re not bound to their own brews. By the way, the in-​house root beer is delicious. Be sure to give it a try during one of your visits.
Finally, the West Charleston location is conveniently located near Red Rock Casino and Downtown Summerlin, so consider adding this BJ’s to your dining choices if you’re out and about in the area. They’re consistently good and worth a visit. Enjoy!
