"I've been to BJ's a number of times. My most recent stop was for lunch. It had been a while since my last visit. Although the food was good, the selection had changed and there are actually fewer options to choose from. Notably missing were the samplers. No more having the great ribs, pulled pork, grilled chicken and shrimp in various combinations. I would stop again, but no longer would I go out of my to visit."

"I thought the food was very good (lobster was a little chewy) but the steak and the rest of the meal was awesome. The waitress was great and never needed anything because she was right on top of us even though the place was packed. I will return there again when I am looking to get away with the wife."

"we always love BJ's. It was Valentine's Day so we expected to be busy. We were seated immediately with our reservations, which was great. The server seemed a bit absent though. Not sure if he just had a lot of tables, or what, but he disappeared for a long time many times. Food was outstanding as usual."

"While the food was ok, I was expecting better for the price. The calamari was way too spicy, the Asain salad was bland, the crab stuffed shrimp was not very flavorful and the steak was too smokey. The portion sizes were ok, but again, could have been better for the price. The only thing I really liked was the Bongo Bongo appetizer."

"I didn't think the food was good at all. Some of the food was very greasy and not as good as other restaurants in the area. The food was over priced for the portion and quality of what you received. If you want to feel like you are going to a high class restaurant without the quality you are paying for, this is the place. The only good thing about this restaurant was the service. I've been there e few times and every time I'm disappointed. I went this time because a family member wanted to go and their expectations where not as they thought it would be. They were disappointed as well and probably will not return."
