BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

The food is ok, is it worth the price on the menu? No.
Service? Some of the worst I’ve seen. Waited 30 mins for the waiter to come get our drinks, then after my tasteless burger was brought to the table I had to wait 45 mins for someone to come by our table and ask if we were ok, to which I replied «No, my cold fries need ketchup!»
I got a Guinness draft for my drink. I know, at a brewhouse? Nevertheless, if you go to a place that specializes in beer, you’d think they would know how to pour a damn Guinness into a glass. If you don’t, it ruins the flavor!
The only positive? Their handcrafted beers. Great variety and tasty brews. Thumbs up on that. But there’s plenty of restaurants that offer great food, service and brews for the same if not lesser price.
Will I return?
If I’m starving and all the surrounding restaurants within a 50 mile radius have shut down, yes I will.

Love coming here! Great atmosphere, and always great service! Foodies so good. I totally recommend the parmesan crusted chicken with their mashed potatoes and broccoli!!! Ravioli is awesome too! Oh, and their bread bowl soups are amazing! You have to try their avocado egg rolls as an appetizer! I have never waited long for my food! Always a wonderful experience in McAllen Tx.

The service here was excellent even the manager came to ask how we were. The food was really great too with varieties of pizzas, salads, etc. A must-​have are the pizookies, a cookie with an ice cream on top. It wasn’t that busy here on a Sunday afternoon compared to other restaurants around the area. Would recommend this place for everyone.

I came for lunch on a weekday. I recommend the Root Beer Glazed Ribs and the Avocado Rolls! Our server Juan M was fast and had the drinks comics out as soon as I was done! I ordered the Bacon guacamole burger! I recommend getting here early for lunch and using the app to order ahead if a Sunday or Saturday. This BJ’s décor is half bar half Bistro. I loved the vanilla ice cream.

Been coming to this place since I was 13, I’m 21 now. Nothing but good food here! Love the atmosphere!

Service is either bad or excellent — there’s no in between. Food is amazing, especially the pizzas, chicken tortilla soup, chili, etc. Awesome strong draft beers you won’t find anywhere else.

Came with my mom and sister. I had the clam chowder and a pesto chicken sandwich. The food was really good and the service was spectacular.

I am very dissapointed in this resturant. Bj’s used to be a great place for pizza, wings, and beer. Much of that has changed. We ordered the Bj’s favorite pizza and were surprised to find the pizza is made without sauce. I asked if they forgot sauce and the server and manager both said pizza sauce was not used on Bj’s pizzas. Pizza with no sauce? This went from being one of the best pizzas in town to the worst. The wings tasted frozen and from a bag. The beer was ok but nothing I would run out to buy. There are some good restursnts on McAllen, Bj’s, in my opinion, is no longer one of them.

Just had a pepperoni pizza, one of the worst… Loaded with lots of MSG. Used to have one of the best pizzas in town. Very sad
Also had some raw chicken served in the sandwich served to someone in my party.

Had a nice long hospital shift here in Texas. After our adventurous palate led us to disaster last night, we wanted to go ahead and try to safety of the large menus that BJs had to offer. We started with the stuffed mushroom, and the Siracha Brussels sprouts.
The Siracha Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection. The creamy Siracha sauce was spicy enough to give an interesting kick, without upsetting my somewhat sensitive stomach. The mushrooms gave me an off aftertaste. They are supposedly stuffed with artichoke spinach, but it tasted more like a jar of Kraft fettuccini sauce and some broccoli.
For dinner I was craving a salad. The picture of the ahi tuna salad looked incredible. So far our service has been very quick and our server seems nice.
Update haven’t seen our server in a very long time. Hope she’s ok
Update still no sign of server. She is visible. She is alive.
I want desserts in the form of cookie goodness they call a pazookie.
Pazookie has arrived. I am happy again. This cookie makes me so happy.
The food was filling and absolutely delicious. For a restaurant that wasn’t busy by any standards, our server did disappear for a long period of time… But it happens. I would definitely come back if I needed to ever be in this part of Texas again.
Thanks BJs. A good BJ never disappoints.

Waited for 40 minutes for a burger; it was undercooked. Waitress takes it back 20 minutes later brings out an over seasoned burger trying to mask the flavor of a cold burger. The potatoes wedges were also cold unlike the first plate; when the wedges tasted good and were hot. I think it was intentional to give me a cold burger and wedges. Charges me for the burger after having me wait that long for the meal… Very disappointed with the service and meal.

I’m being generous. Mediocre food and worse service. Here’s a tip for the waitstaff: walk around the table to all of your guests. Stay at one half of the table and you’ll earn one half of your tip.

Really nice place, very clean and service was spot on. Moroccan Salmon was excellent. Spicy and very tasty. Vegetables were crunchy and not over cooked.

Great food and excellent service! Management very attentive. They are very clean and organized.

The ambience is great, a clean and spacey location. The food was average, just your typical sports bar food.

BJs is a chain brewery restaurant. The beer and food are consistently four and maybe a half stars at all their locations for a reasonable price. For a big open space the noise level is modest and atmosphere good. Some locations offer good service. Unfortunately, I had poor service at the McAllen location – slow, no sauce on burger, just not with it.

Very good food. My favorite was the avocado egg rolls with tamarind sauce. The burger (don’t remember the name but it had fried jalapeños) was delicious. My husband got the ribeye and Parmesan mashed potatoes. The alcoholic beverages are nice and strong. I also got the bacon egg spinach salad with honey siracha dressing (hold the stinky blue cheese) but it was a small portion for the price. Beautiful décor.

Great place, my husband loves their beers and I love their pizza’s as well as the southern fried chicken.

This is the first time I have been to BJs and I was upset to find out I have never been before in the Houston area.
I enjoyed walking into the restaurant because the place is kept very clean and the entrance has a spinning door.
When walking in I was immediately greeted and brought to an area to sit down. When ordering my drinks and food, I never had to ask for refill when I ran out.
Now the question is… why give this place a 3
Star instead of 4 – 5? Service was great but the food was very mediocre. Maybe I expected more because of the environment or maybe the chef in the back wasn’t feeling it. For the price it is definitely worth trying out but just don’t expect for the food to taste as if you are going to a 5 star restaurant.

We have been here 2 times and both times has been bleehhhh. This is gonna be a review on our most recent visit. First off, our drinks came after our appetizers. Second, one of our forks had a piece of dried out cilantro or something stuck on it. With that said, food did not taste all that great anymore.
The only thing that is good is the Pazookie dessert, however it does look smaller than what i’ve remembered from my california days.
Their beers are unique and some are pretty good, but price is a bit high.
