BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

We’ve come here several times and it is always a pleasure. Tonight was exceptional. My wife had the arugala and Portobello mushroom salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back!

I always find friendly people here, no matter when I come in or where I sit. The bartender with blonde hair going to school for RX tech was the friendliest person!
Everything I order has always been great, and their menu is so varied! I like that they have a patio, too.

Have been to BJs many other times but this was our best experience by far. My mom and brother and I went tonight and the food was very good. We had chips/​salsa for an appetizer and then deep dish pizza. The service was the best we’ve ever had. Many thanks to Zachary (W.) he was great. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks again! We will request you in the future:)

While I enjoyed the atmosphere and the wonderful beer selection, the food was just OK. Maybe I’m just not ordering the right thing. Tried their Mahi Mahi and it was waaaaaaay overcooked, rubbery and tasteless. Next trip was a so-​so salad and really good wings. Their private label beers are great and the atmosphere, while very much a sports bar, is definitely upscale.

Tasty mushroom Swiss burger and happy hour wine. Never a bad meal here, whether in Texas or California. Service was good and attentive. Potato wedges over the fries any day.

I love love looove BJ’s…they have so many options I can never decide what to get when I go there and every dish I’ve ever gotten there has been great. Also great service and atmosphere!

Service can be questionable at times but the vast menus and awesome beers bridge the gap! Deep dish pizza… Yep!

My last trip there was not great, the steak wasn’t right or very good. Tried them again, and the food was good but the service was not. I’m not real big on being treated like an inconvenience when I go into a restaurant. There’s other places that will be more than happy to have me spend money with them.

My experience here was definitely 5 stars. The food was great, service was great and the place was clean. Manager even came up to Che k in on us to make sure everything was good. No complaints!

If I want to go somewhere that I know has a variety of drinks this is the place I would go! So many different kinds of beer from light to dark, and mixed drinks. A little pricy but totally worth it! A huge variety of food!

Awesome beer selection. Good food and great atmosphere. I like the new Enlightened Menu.

Just about everything is good here! Pizzas are a favorite, California is my favorite. The pizzookies are delicious. Burgers are great! California and jalapeño aware the best! For appetizers, the tacos are small but good. If you get the buffalo wontons, you might want to double your order. Their crispy fries aristo die for! The soups and pasta are their weakness. So just stay away from those and you’re solid! The Jeremiah red is one of the most popular and tasty beers. For the girls, there’s a strawberry drink that’s creamy and comes with a pine apple on the side, that’s $ 10 but awesome!

I’ve heard about the BJ’s chain for quite some time, so I decided that during my brief trip into Tyler, I would try it out. In trying this brand for the first time, I left the location neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed. It was sort of a «meh» experience.
THE GOOD: Customer service was really good. The hostess informed me that she would seat me with her best server, of which I agreed that the server was cool & attentive, for the most part. There was one moment where it took her nearly 8 minutes to bring me a glass of ice water due to me biting into a pepper, yet I let it go when I noticed that she had a large table of 8 guests that required 8 drinks + my water on a tray. Yes, I was empathetic toward her current situation.
The décor of BJ’s was nice. Certainly a place that I would bring my wife to, considering that the artwork looked really good, in addition to the color scheme throughout the venue. Not your typical bar restaurant, that’s for sure.
THE SO-​SO: I’m a major IPA draft brew drinker, and I know a good one when I taste it. The IPA that I had on this evening was so-​so: hoppy, yes. But the expected bite: not the best, yet not terrible either. It just didn’t leave me excited to order another one. If I like a brew, I usually order 2 – 3. For tonight, it was one, which is a rarity for me. To top that off, I also enjoy Hefeweizen brews (thank you, Gordon Biersch), which is a German wheat-​type of brew. To say the least, the Hefeweizen served at this location was not very good. In fact, it totally sucked. I was grateful for my server in giving me a sample of it first. I couldn’t even finish half of the sample, considering that I felt a headache coming on. Yeah, that bad. I’m pretty sure the little man in the freezer had an off-​day when it came to tapping the beer kegs today. SMH.
The entrée of the California flat bread was not bad. I was hungry, so I was not terribly picky about it. But one thing that I noticed was that the flat bread was more chewy as opposed to crunchy. Flat breads usually have a texture to that of a saltine cracker. This flat bread tasted more like a Domino’s Pizza thin-​crust pizza that was left on the kitchen’s heat lamp for 15 minutes. I appreciated the server for not charging me for avocado slices on my flat bread, yet even with that, I thought that it was «meh.» But again, I was hungry, and didn’t have that «I need a Snickers Bar moment» by being overly too critical.
Altogether, I would have to give either this BJs or another one a second try to have a full appreciation of what they offer. For this evening, it wasn’t the best, yet not the worst either. It was just «meh.»

I guess I should know better than to go into an establishment such as this and expect anything other than bar food quality! I ordered the couscous with mahi and shrimp. The menu image is nothing like what came to the table. Delivered was a mahi and shrimp soup.
I could have gotten a better meal at Chipotle… in the same parking lot for half the price!
On the upside the wait staff was courteous and attentive with no complaints there.

BJ’S is pretty standard everywhere… wrong this location is great, the staff is nice, the vibe is great, you got sports coming from all the possible angles, beer is decent, and food is great. They made me feel like if I was in California, not a bad thing at all.

Ate dinner here last night. It was awesome! I love that they have lighter entrees for those of us watching our calories and regular great stuff for everybody else. I have only had one experience at this restaurant when I was not pleased about a year ago and when I spoke with the manager he was quick to make it right as best he could. I returned several times since then. My family and I love this place. This is a good quality restaurant with great food, employees etc… The manager is great. Great beer, awesome food, always get what I order as ordered. Order the bison burger or the salmon, the pizza is phenomenal. My kids love it too! No complaints. Give it a try.

Terribly run place that’s atypical of a BJs Restaurant. This is the second time that I have run into this problem. After sitting for 10 minutes without anyone bothering to take our drink order, we walked out. I attempted to call the manager and was routed to someone else first. The host staff were very young and either haven’t been trained or don’t care about customer service. The manager apologized and offered me a gift card but I refused. I just wanted them to be aware of their lack of training or care less attitude. There are plenty of other restaurants in the Tyler area to go to, which is what we did.

Oh My God. (or OMG if you prefer).
Italian Market Pizza is likely the best pizza I’ve had in the most recent years of my life. So Good…
Beers are awesome. They have probably 40 taps for beers (check their website for info), but they also have about a dozen more taps with their own brewed beers. I had a pint each of the blond, Piranha Pale, and the hefeweizen.
All were good.
I’ve found my new favorite place in Tyler.

If I could give zero stars I would. Ended up leaving because we sat at our table for 20 mins and not a single waiter came to even take our drinks. Once I went up to the hostess and let her know, she gave me a nasty attitude and said someone would be over. No one came within 5 mins, we walked out and will NEVER give them our business.

I have eaten at BJ’s before and have come here often to order a pizookie. This time, though we came around 11:15am and had lunch.
We started off with the chips and salsa, which were surprisingly really tasty. I liked that the chips were thicker and the salsa had a great taste to it.
I ordered it the chicken club with thin and crispy french fries. The portion was huge and I could not finish all the fries and I was lucky to finish my sandwich. The chicken club was really good. I would definitely order it agian. I loved that it was on garlic texas toast. Yum! My only complaint would be that the avacado was too ripe. I had to scrape it off…
Our server was less than enthused to be waiting on our table. She was not friendly and not very quick or attentive.
Overall, this was a delicious lunch. I would suggest coming in. If you come for lunch, it is not very busy!
