We stopped at this restaurant after visiting the SPAM Museum, and overall it was an average dining experience. The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. My husband ordered the nachos with guacamole, but instead of freshly made guacamole, they were served with a prepackaged guacamole-style dip. It was fine, but it wasn't what we expected and took away from the overall dish. If you're looking for a convenient place to grab a meal while in the area, this restaurant does the job. However, if you're searching for an exceptional meal or a destination dining experience, there are likely better options nearby. read more

July 10 at 6 pm ~ So enjoying listening to your live music from my car! I know/love all of these songs! Awesome hanging out music! Excellent performance! Thank you! read more

Great food, friendly service and definitely reasonable prices. Very chill atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Located next to the Spam Museum in downtown Austin, this local establishment is a great little spot with some great food options, including Spam-inspired food specials. The grilled Spam and Cheese was fantastic! I highly recommend this sandwich. Choose your side, the fries were fried to a nice crispy finish and the tater tots were amazing too. Great family-friendly atmosphere with lots of kids-meal options on the menu. We were there with a large group and the waitress took great care of us, fantastic service with a smile. This is a must stop when you find yourself in Austin, we will definitely be returning to this spot next time we are in town. read more

Very edible bar food.... Nothing screaming amazing but good... Nice patio .... Our waiter was pleasant with a sense of humor. read more

Great place for lunch. Stopped here before hitting up the spam museum. The Buffalo chicken wrap, club, and side salads were all generous and fresh. Service was kind of slow but they were busy. Loved that they had a lot of spam items on the menu. read more

We had to try the SPAM sandwich because we had just toured the SPAM museum next door. It's a nice pub with a long bar with comfy stools and lots of beers on tap. There is only one star because we had to wait interminably long for our sandwich to arrive and then it was mostly bread with a small amount of Spam only in the middle. How could a "chef" feel good about letting such a thing leave his kitchen and get served to a paying customer? The waitress was apologetic but what could she do? read more

This place was recommended by the Spam Museum around the corner so we walked over here with my 85 year old dad in a wheelchair. When we got here it was impossible to maneuver the wheelchair past the high top tables to get to a booth. There was a table by the entrance that had just opened up. The waitress said we could have that table. We waited for 15 minutes - they never bussed the table and were never acknowledged again. We walked out and went to Kenny's Oak Grill where we were greeted and seated right away by a very courteous and friendly hostess and server and enjoyed a delicious meal. I won't spend a dime of my hard earned money in a place that doesn't appreciate my business. read more

The ambience is bright, friendly and casual with outdoor patio seating. Minors are allowed. Free popcorn. Around the corner from the SPAM museum, B&J's serve SPAM items on the menu. Support local business. I ordered the combo basket: wings with BJ's secret sauce, cheese curds and onion rings. My daughter ordered the Chorizo SPAM quesadilla (chorizo SPAM is available only in Portugal or the SPAM museum). Service was prompt and the food was good, especially the cheese curds. Price is fine, they are open late. I would return again when in the area. read more

Had a lunch business meeting here so the wait staff delivered the drinks fast but left us alone for a few minutes. Something I appreciate when conducting business! After the order was placed the food was on the table in under 10 minutes. If you have read my reviews before you know that is my benchmark. Probably because there is no way I could get the food on my table at home that fast! Everything was served hot and looked great! I ordered the French dip. They serve it without onions...that is another feather in their cap. Who puts onions on roast beef. Provolone cheese yes...onions no way! The dipping juice was very good. The serving size was a perfect lunch size. Plenty of FF and they were great! Crinkle cut!! I only took one photo which is very strange for me...business meeting ;-) I'm going back! read more

Not exactly the best experience. Food was good but I think our order got lost. Took two hours to get lunch on a Saturday. What was excellent is that when it was time to pay they no charged everything including drinks. This never has happened before. In the end we left a nice tip and will be back again. We were ready to leave and never come back but will be happy to give them another chance. read more

This is a great bar in downtown Austin populated by young professionals. The service is great - they are attentive, friendly, and consistent. The menu consists of typical bar food (not bad, but nothing special). Drinks are mixed well, there's a nice selection of beers, and prices are good. Several TVs for watching the big game but not so many as to be distracting. This is a fun place to relax after work or before a show at the Paramount... and there's a patio for outdoor drinking/dining in the summer, a feature that many bars and restaurants in Austin are missing. read more

Without COVID this would have been a 2 star rating. Our party of 5 selected B & J's because they have outside seating. However, the service was very slow (20 minutes to get a menu and 45 minutes to get our food). I ordered a Phily Steak sandwich which was mediocre at best. read more

The customer service was horrible, the lady working took 5 mins to get a packet of sour cream. I had ordered a chicken quesadilla and there was a 2 pieces of chicken in it. I've never had such bad costumer service there before. read more

B & J Bar and Grill - 2 pieces of chicken - Wraps Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

I came here after the spam museum. Of course I wanted their spam burger! It was surprisingly tasty, though it lacked mayo (guess you have to ask for it). The fries were frozen; arrived hot but bland. My wife ordered the fried chicken, which was overcooked and chewy. I think I would pass on this place unless you want a spam burger. The place is more bar than restaurant, with a healthy dose of what seem to be regulars. Great beer selection on tap. Definitely a bit on the loud side (conversations mores than music). Service was nice and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and well equipped ( two urinals and one toilet). All in all, I'm not overly impressed with anything but the spam burger. read more

Traveling for work can be very interesting. Luckily, this place popped up on my restaurant searches and decided to pop in. Very glad we did!! It was hopping on a Monday night, so I took that as a good sign. I enjoyed a beer and a sandwich. The food isn't fancy, but it's very tasty and the portions are generous. I look forward to returning here again soon! read more

The fish and chips were good and the beer was cold. The waitress was great and the atmosphere is nice. I will be back.

Yummy food, cool drinks, fine folk and steps from the SPAM museum. What more could you ask for?!? We are so glad that we found this gem! Thanks bartender Ben for a great time at B&J. We are definitely stopping the next time we're in town! read more

First time here & we will definitely be back. Vikings on the tv, fun atmosphere. Spam on the menu! We ordered drinks- had the Bloody Mary bar with a beer chaser of course. Good selection of craft beers, flights for $7.75. Appetizers were great, loved the curds & buffalo tots. Vikings scored another touchdown & the waitress comes around with free Jell-O shots- gotta love that! Food was good, fish & chips & chicken sandwich. Clean bathrooms with lots of traffic in here. read more

B & J Bar and Grill - Great specials! - Wraps Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

My husband is the most tolerant eater I've ever met, but the PB&J burger had him gagging. Something about the flavor combos just really didn't sit well with him. So don't order that or the tacos. My street tacos were just dry and flavorless and the corn tortillas were raw and stiff, not fried or steamed to make it so they won't break while you're trying to eat it, ya know what I'm talking about? Also we had to wait forever to finally get a our bill. I had to go up to the lady working the bar and ask her for it cause our waitress was nowhere to be found. Just not a good day at the B&J. But the boneless wings were good! read more

Always a good time. It's a local favorite and I always run into someone I know. I wish you could order the burgers to level of doneness and the staff was a little slow. Food was tasty though and they have a large accommodating menu. read more

B & J Bar and Grill - Inside bar at B & J's. - Wraps Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

Stopped in for lunch last week before my meeting started and mainly was there to try my first ever SPAM burger. The place was crowded and they do have free popcorn which is a nice feature while you wait for your meal. I can honestly say that the grilled spam burger with cheese, onion, lettuce, and tomato was quite good and I really didn't notice that it was spam. Not sure if it was due to being grilled or that all the toppings covered up the spam burger but I would not be afraid to order it again next time I am in Austin. The fries were very good or at least done the way I like them crunchy and salty. They do not have WiFi unless you can steal it from a neighbor. read more

Visiting from San Diego. Good crowd and the only place to go to in Austin anymore for the 30ish crowd. Good popcorn. ;)

Went with my family for a bite to eat on the way back the Minneapolis. My wife and I both ordered the fourth street burger. My tots were fine and her fries were fine, but both of us had burned and dried out burgers. My mother-in-law enjoys this place so maybe we had a bad cook (7/5 during dinner), but that burger was just terrible. read more

Come here for the drinks but skip the food. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Bloody Mary bar was delish- definitely recommend going with their Mary mix instead of the commercial garbage. Spot on! As for the food; burgers, fries, and tots were all overcooked. I'll definitely be coming back for drink specials though! read more

Stopped on our way through town as we had a good recommendation. Drinks and food were amazing! Had the 4th Ave burger, French Dip, and the Boulder Sourdough. Everything else coming out of the kitchen looked really good also. Friendly staff and our pull tabs winnings paid for it all and more! We will be back! read more

As a local: this is the best place to get a burger. Food is cooked to order and always hot and fresh. Service is friendly, and you're never left wondering where your server is. Not yet old enough to drink, but from what I can tell beverage options are plentiful and there's definitely enough non-alcoholic beverages for the younger set. Two things to be aware of: you seat yourself, so be prepared for that, and if you plan on bringing kids, remember that it IS a bar, so keep that in mind when planning when to stop in- don't bring children during peak bar hours. read more

Good restaurant as well as probably the most chill bar in town.

I don't know the girl that was bar tending, but I'm not from Austin, and the bar tender, Kristi, was absolutely awful. She was rude and actually said after we paid her "merry FUCKING Christmas" I was insulted and can't believe someone could be so rude. I read more

Stopped in after visiting the Spam Museum to try a Spam Burger. It was great! We all enjoyed the Spam Burger, also had some cheese curds, which were good. Had a Virgin Bloody Mary and friend had an iced tea. Would recommend this place for a chill place to enjoy a Spam Burger! read more

Great atmosphere for adult socializing. Great food and staff. Just an all-around great place to hangout if you are past the club or party seen and just want to enjoy a good drink with friends. read more

I may be a little biased, but I love coming to this place! The food is pretty good, and all the waitress' are really nice. This is a casual place and is one of my favorite places to go to in Austin. read more

Just stopped there passing through and they had quick service. We got our food in a timely manner and were back on our way in no time. The environment was also very pleasing. The food was great as well. No complaints. read more

This is obviously a bit of a tourist town. After visiting the Spam Museum we wanted to grab lunch before we left town. The food was very good. I had the chef salad and my husband had the French dip. We had cheese curds as an appetizer. The cheese curds were a little salty but I blame that more on the cheese itself. My husband said the meat in his dip was of good quality. The sandwich seemed a little small. Smaller than what you typically get dining out. Now for the salad review. The lettuce was fresh and overall the salad tasted good. But, the amount of lettuce was the equivalent to a side salad. I got a nearly $10 SIDE SALAD y'all. They seemed to give more toppings that lettuce itself. The "garlic toast" as they called it was the size of a 1/4 inch slice of a baguette the consistency of a crouton. Now I have no idea what prices were like at other establishments nearby so I don't know if they were higher or lower. All I can say is that if I wouldn't have had some cheese curds I'd have left hungry. Portion sizes at restaurants are generally much larger than one should consume in a sitting so although I appreciate the smaller portion, I was way overcharged. A $9.50 salad should be sized accordingly. The place was clean so all I can fault them for was prices. I don't think I'd eat here again. read more

Decent bar food. My husband had the wings and said they were great! Good prices as well. The only negative is that they seem understaffed. It was packed when we arrived and the few empty tables they had were still piled with dishes, the bartender finally cleared one for us, he also ended up waiting on us and taking care of all of the patrons sitting at the bar. He was very courteous though but could have definitely used another person so he didn't have to wear all of the hats. read more

After visiting the Spam Museum and being tempted by their free samples, we decided we'd try one of the local restaurants that features Spam on its menu. The Museum helpfully provides a list of local restaurants and notates which ones serve Spam items. B&J has an add-on Spam menu in addition to their usual menu. I chose the Spam sliders and my daughter chose a grilled Spam and cheese sandwich. We were both pleased by our choices, and recommend both items. We also had the fried cheese curds, which were good but not noticeably different than fried mozzarella sticks available anywhere else. We were quite satisfied and were happy that we chose B&J's for our after-Museum lunch. We'd come here again. read more
