"We went for a quick but much anticipated BBQ meal with three teenagers and a toddler. The food, the service, and the drinks could not have been better. We were afraid it might be iffy near Madison Square Garden, but it was really really good. The fried okra and fried brussel sprout sides allowed for some better choices than usual and they were delicious. I was really impressed that there was only light breading on the chicken tenders for the kids as well as on the okra. My toddler loved the mac and cheese and declared that we need to go back, so we will!"

"The bartender knew I was having a bad day. He served me a sweet tea and I accused him of giving me a virgin where he took my drink and gave me 2 more shots. I LOVE BJ's!"

"I often hit the 31st Street Location before events at MSG. A bucket of Wings, a Bucket of Tips and a few beers and your primed for any sporting event or concert. Reservations are a MUST on game nights."

"Came after taping of America's Got Talent and It's by Madison square garden so even though we had a reservation and later wanted to split up at two tables (12-yr old and friend) we were told the Knicks game patrons would be coming in and they needed tables and had to clear with manager. It was 4:15pm. We were gone by 5:30. Enjoyed it there nevertheless."

"A great place for food before a Rangers or Knicks game. $28/person for endless ribs and beer on Sundays. The food here is way better than anything available in the Garden and less expensive too."

"Not the best BBQ in town (try Hill Country) but great location and resonable beer prices so if you want to grab a couple of beers and shots before a ranger game...perfect."
