Just go to 'Carolina Ale House' across the street. BJs isn't 'bad'. However, their food is so overpriced it's almost insulting. I found the staff to be unprofessional, weird atmosphere. I understand that I was looking for a particular vibe and it's not the restaurant's fault for not matching that. Never again. This is the first ever review I left on yelp. I literally downloaded yelp to leave it. ----- You scan your receipt to pay online!? read more

The bathrooms look the same as when I was there months ago. Absolutely disgusting and will not be back based on that. If they can't keep what we see clean, who knows what the kitchen cleanliness looks like. read more

All of the BJ's chain seems to carry the same huge menu. The foods always pretty quality and large portions. I just had boneless wings here, but they were great...that root beer sauce is special. The Beer menu is huge and includes a lot of the BJs brews. While I rarely find anything special or unique beer wise, the variety usually at least gets me a new beer check in for untapped. read more

We stopped here for some quick lunch before going out to do some shopping. It was not busy for a Tuesday afternoon. In fact, we were seated and waited on immediately. The waiter was training a new employee and was very attentive. We ordered mozzarella sticks which the kids enjoyed. For lunch, I ordered a salad with Ahi Tuna. My stepdaughter ordered a salad with quinoa. She never had quinoa but throughly enjoyed this salad which also had chicken. Good lunch experience and good food! read more

We went Saturday night. Wife had chicken sandwich which was good. Service was fine. However, I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was extremely overcooked and hard as a rock. That's $23 wasted. I should have spoken to the manager but it was date night. Let's see if a manager makes it right. I will let you know. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Rock hard and definitely frozen to fryer. Yuck. - New American Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

BJ's used to be my favorite late night joint, however, it has gone downhill exponentially. It was off to a good start with my delicious Caesar salad but afterward, it was pretty sad. We waited almost 2 hours in total for our pizookie meal deals. Our chicken bacon ranch piadinas were lacking any source of ranch aka moistener. They were just butt dry and it was painful trying to swallow them. In order to accommodate the dry bolus going down, we drank lots of water. Unfortunately, our water eventually ran out, and we had to go out of our way to ask for more. Our waitress was very inattentive, as she was busy telling other patrons about her tattoos, tattoo and piercing parlor, her multiple partners, and the bowl of soup that spilled on her. The only time she was attentive was when we were not even halfway through our main entree, and she asked us what pizookies we wanted. Well, I guess that was a mistake not ordering then, as we had to wait very long after finishing our meal to get to order them. We got our pizookies, they were good, but then time for another grueling wait for our check. Tried to pay on the table, but we were unable to split it. Overall, the wait staff is still kinda sketchy and somewhat grungy, the service is very slow, and the menus and salt and pepper shakers were extremely greasy. Don't think I will be returning soon, as it was just a dragged out and unpleasant experience. read more

Stopped here on the way to the coast, appetizer came out quick. Restaurant wasn't very busy and it took a good 20 plus minutes to get our entrees. Ordered a dessert to go and they completely forgot to give us ice cream and any to go utensils with their famous pizookie. Double check everything for an order to go. read more

We wanted something for a nice casual dinner. We decided on BJ's because of its LARGE menu selection. Allowing you to choose from super healthy to good ol' calorie ridden, saucey, and greasy! We were greeted as soon as we entered the restaurant, it was slow when we arrived. With that there was plenty of seating available. The only downside, the restaurant was soooo cold! I needed a jacket! At any rate, they seated you based on your preference and provided you a drink menu. For the food menu, you needed to scan the QR code on the table. The serves was good. She was attentive and very friendly. We ordered: Coffee Soda (one soda's about $4?!? - talking about price gouging!) Mozzarella Sticks House Ceasar Salad Deep Dish Ziti Total with tax: $41 The waitress brought everything out at a good speed. We didn't feel overwhelmed or rushed. The coffee was very bold, had a nutty - chocolate undertone. Very good! The mozzarella sticks were fresh and hot. Crispy and not oily at all. The marinara complimented very nicely. The salad was pathetic. You got the ends of the lettuce thats bitter, only two croutons, hardly any cheese, and the dressing - it wasn't something to desire. We agreed, it wasn't worth it and we wouldn't be ordering it again. The baked ziti was the star of the show for us! Housemade meatballs | italian sausage | diced pepperoni | San Marzano marinara | creamy alfredo | italian herbs | BJ's signature five cheese blend | parmesan cheese | fresh basil You can customize it, but we ordered it as is. Very light compared to other versions of this dish. Balance great with a garlic roll (ask for an extra one and thank me later). We will give them a go again. read more

Met my wife for lunch and she met me at BJR&B; a favorite of hers. We were seated promptly, but drinks took a bit. They had just opened so maybe things took a minute to get up and running. I ordered an unsweetened tea, which had just been brewed so it tasted very refreshing! For our meals, she got the avocado egg rolls, which looked delicious (see pictures). I got the Brewhouse Philly, which was nice and hit with big juicy pieces of sliced steak, with lots of peppers, onions, and cheese. I paired that with sweet potato fries and the slaw that came with it. The fries were very good, but the slaw had no twang to it like the recipe didn't call for any dill or vinegar. It had a sauce to it, but it was sort of flavorless. All in all, a solid lunch a reasonable prices! read more

The staff made my visit here really stand out. The waitress was very patient and went out of her way to make sure I knew there was going to be a staff change and to introduce me to the new waiter. I really came for the dessert and that didn't disappoint. The cookie was huge and can definitely be shared with others. I also ordered the pizza (create your own) which was also pretty good. Note: I like my pizza fluffy with a slight crunch rather than flat. Lastly, it turned out to be a great place to get some work done. I came mid-day during the week. There was plenty of space and overall nice ambiance. read more

I was in town visiting with my son who is a student at NCSU. Our hotel room was not ready so we decided to grab a bite. We wanted something we had not had and landed here. We were seated rather quickly and the restaurant was empty. I was a little frustrated that the hostess tried to seat someone after us a bit too close to us for my comfort; COVID is still a thing. It took a little while for our waitress to greet us which was surprising given how few people were in the spot. But, she was friendly and attentive once she arrived. I had a Tito's mule which was rather tasty. There's a strawberry version, too, that I imagine is a little sweeter for those who enjoy tickling their sweet taste buds. My son had the BBQ sliders and fries. He said they were good. I landed on a shrimp power bowl that was actually very good! My only complaint is that I asked for my shrimp blackened and was a tad disappointed that there was little to no "heat" on them as anticipated. If you're into beers, they have a WALL full of options. Overall, a 3-star experience. read more

We were greeted with a smile and friendly welcome from the Host as soon as we walked in. We sat at the bar cause it's usually quick and we're social folks. The bartender Dayna was a flurry of activity, cute, engaging and friendly to us and her coworkers. I asked what they "hit out of the park" without hesitation she recommended the Hickory Bacon Brisket Burger, so ordered one with a side salad (no fries) and my wife ordered an Ahi Tuna salad. While wandering around on my way to the restroom I noticed a poster talking about CysticFibrosis and BJs support for folks with the disease... and something called a PIZOOKIE. A collision of a pizza and a cookie; actually it's just a big assed cookie with all kinds of decadent sweet stuff on it with a big scoop of ice cream. We aren't big sweets eaters and were already full, but ordered two Pizookies to go to share at our next stop. I can't guarantee you'll get Dayna H (#233) at the bar but the service at BJs is excellent, the restaurant is bright, busy (in a very pleasant way) and clean... the food was AMAZING and how can you not cheer for a place helping fight CysticFibrosis!!! read more

Fantastic experience on Friday evening. Our waitress Claudia was attentive and patience with us as first timers. We enjoyed browsing the menu but did not wait long to order. Our meal came out at a good pace. It was not too loud for a Friday. Bar music with plenty of TV options. read more

Eight months later and it's still the same story. Super slow service, incorrect orders, mediocre flavors, dirty tables after parties leave in every direction. This place needs more staff on the floor, STAT. Adding to the list this time: Pepper/Salt shakers were so full they wouldn't shake so we had to unscrew the tops and got pepper everywhere (this was a funny at the time), Oreo Pazookie was underbaked (but does it really matter?), and our server was brand new to waiting tables as well as all alone in their duties. Being patient was a struggle, like watching a fawn stuck in traffic. Back and forth, forgetting a lot, always apologizing. They took our dirty plates off of our table... and put them on a clean table right in front of us. Over two hours for a table of four, Oy Vey! Don't know if we will be back after this one because it seems to be getting worse. read more

I think BJ's Restaurant is a hidden gem in this area. I've been several times but none of my friends know about it and are always surprised. Nice decor. Hubby and I wanted something different so we stopped in on Monday. Immediately seated and it was around noon. The menu is pretty large. Our waitress took our drink order and told us about the special for the day which was 50% off large deep dish pizza that the regular price was $30.95. What a deal! Hubby doesn't like deep dish so he ordered thin crust 6" that was actually about the same price. Ugh. Okay...I said hardly no one was in there...but the wait to get our meal was long. I got the large deep dish half vegetarian and half pepperoni. The vegetarian was delicious! Probably the best flavored veggies on a pizza. I ate two slices! It arrived at our table hot and fresh. Hubby was pleased with his 6" thin crust as well. Service was very good also. Overall lovely experience at BJ's Restaurant. read more

Stopped in for a break from shopping to get the Chicken Pot stickers. I've had the Ahi Poke many times and never disappoints!

We usually love it here, but today, it was absolutely horrible. The floors were so slippery like they were waxed. The manager said they got like this because of some intake thing, but they weren't working. There were NO wet floor or slippery signs. Thankfully, I was holding onto the bar of the ramp when I fell and hurt my elbow and tailbone! The employees that I told seemed to not care. I saw one go down, no problem, but they have to wear no slip shoes. Well, 95 percent of your customers don't wear non-slip shoes. The lack of care and the acting like it was just me that had the problem walking when I saw multiple others slipping still with no sign out is a problem! The mocking of me that I heard and saw was completely inappropriate. This was a good place for us to go, but after all of these unnecessary actions and mockery and rude employees, I doubt we will come back here read more

We enjoyed our meal here a lot! The salmon was delicious and my partner enjoyed his sandwich. They let me modify my salmon meal too because I didn't like the sides that originally came with it. I will say that I wasn't too full after my plate though, so wish it was a little more or maybe it was just that delicious I wanted another plate of it! They also make homemade sodas which is cool. Will definitely be back. read more

This was my first time at a BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse although I had been a member of their rewards club for awhile. I made a reservation for our party online and when our server came to our table, she had informed me of my free Pazooki. She took our drink order and promptly returned with them. She told us about the wing special for the night and informed us of the different flavors. We ended up ordering three different types. We thought it was kind of weird, but she finally took the rest of our order after she had brought us our appetizer of the wings. Our wings were barbecue, Carolina, and regular buffalo sauce. I think my favorite was the Carolina sauce. For our entrées, I ordered the nachos with chili, my family ordered shrimp, scampi, a bowl of clam chowder, chicken, Parmesan, jambalaya, and a rack of ribs. Asked for butter and sour cream for her baked potato with her spareribs, which our server said she would be glad to get for her. I had noticed that my nachos did not have the guacamole or sour cream that was supposed to be on them, so we hailed her down as she was taking an order at the table next to us. She proceeded to go to the table behind them and fill their waters and then went to the table next to us again. One would think that you would like to try and fulfill the needs of the table that already has their food with issues then to accommodate everyone else. My sister was sitting there thinking that her baked potato was going to get cold before she got her sour cream and butter. Our server finally came with our items and apologized for the wait. I like to order nachos out at different restaurants to compare them and I have to say that these nachos were subpar. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal, except for my one nephew who had the jambalaya. He had complained to me that there was barely any rice, and I have to admit he was really right on that one. We finished the meal sharing a salted caramel Pazooki, which was pretty good. I will definitely be back to this restaurant, but I don't think that I will order the nachos again. read more

I've been here twice in the past month for "happy hour" which advertises $5 beer specials. Both times I've confirmed with the server that the beer I selected was on the $5 list. Both times I was told yes. And both times, when the bill came, the beers were NOT $5, but much higher. The beers & food were good. But in the future I'll go elsewhere, where it doesn't feel like a bait & switch. read more

We've been fans of BJ's for well over 20 years and especially their pizza and stout. Went to the Cary location for a bday dinner last night and the pizza was beyond disappointing! Barely any toppings and what few toppings there were hardly covered the middle of the pizza. There was about 1-1.5" of bare crust at the edges. Anyone who knows BJ's pizza knows this is just wrong. When we asked the manager when they changed the recipe, we were blown off and not given an actual answer. Thankfully the pizookies were good! Service was decent too! read more

I'm from California, I'm here on vacation for a week. Tonight is my last night in NC so we decided to have dinner at BJ's. The food was really good but service sucks! I ordered the tri tip and shrimps scampi with side orders of mashed potatoes and asparagus. I told our server Dawn they forgot my asparagus, she just said ok. When she came back to our table with the asparagus I was already done eating my dinner. She just put them on the table and did not say anything. I was waiting for her to say something or at least apologize but nothing. I'm Asian by the way. Must be discrimination. I have no idea! read more

Food was amazing! Pizookie was extra sweet but we shared among 4 people so it ended up not being extra. Sandwich was delicious, aioli was perfect and added so much flavor!

Visited this restaurant, and was seated pretty quickly. However, we waited for longer than 20 mins to be served before walking out. Multiple serves walked past our table, and seen that we had not been served. We did not even get offered drinks. As we were walking out, the hostess asked nothing as to why we were leaving. The restaurant was not busy during this hour that we went. We will not be coming back to this location. read more

Place is pretty decent. It's kind of your standard restaurant bar. More restaurant than sports or bar, although bar is full. If you want to hear the sports games you have to ask for the sound, otherwise, it won't go on. I had drinks and not food but saw a lot come out. Seemed ok. They do have good deals on food and drinks. That gives it the 4 rating read more
