    Monkey bread Pizookie
    Rachel J.

    I think this place is great for what it is: A family friendly sports bar and eatery. Both the food and the decor is similar Pizzeria UNO, and it seems like that was done intentionally to fill in the void after Pizzeria Uno closed at Crossgates Mall. Unfortunately, we ate the appetizer so fast that I forgot to take pictures. I did get a few pictures of the Pizookies! We enjoyed the chicken wings With the lemon pepper dry rub. The nachos were good but smaller than I expected. The super thin pizza was good, but I thought it cost too much for what it was. I would like to try the deep dish pizza next time. Our server, JADA, was THE BEST! Top Tier! Give her a raise. We were celebrating three birthdays, and she really took care of everyone's peculiar wishes.

    BJ's has a new $13 entrée + personal pizookie deal, and since I've never had a pizookie before, my partner was super excited for me to try one! When we got there, I was surprised to see a 30 minute wait on a Thursday night. The place is huge and spacious, and I love the artwork they have for their different beers. Tonight wasn't a beer night, but we'll definitely be back for their happy hour because the menu looks amazingggg. The $13 menu had a lot of great options, and it was hard to choose, but I ended up getting the chicken bacon ranch piadina with onion rings, while my partner went with the Great White mini deep dish. Both were delicious and packed with flavor! Surprisingly, we even had some leftovers for the next day. I was also really excited that we got to pick our pizookie flavors. We went with the strawberry shortcake and the triple chocolate. SO YUM. Even though the personal pizookies are tiny, they were the perfect size to satisfy a sweet tooth. So worth it for $13!!! I also love the BJ's rewards system. It's got me hooked, and I'm definitely going to be visiting more

    Unlike other franchise restaurants where they just whip out one horrible tasteless dish after another, most of BJs meals are made from-scratch. Another high point for BJs is that their open-kitchen concept allows folks to see the cooking+prep process (depends where you sit). Not far from Albany, this Colonie, NY BJs served us plenty. Their menu hasn't disappointed us in any way as they cater to every palette out there. Hubs and I haven't had issues with this franchise. We feel they prioritize consistent quality the few times hubs and I have visited. The food, ingredients- hell, even their cocktails pack a damn great punch.

    Late night comfort food. Quick and friendly service and an upscale feeling atmosphere. A good place to watch the game and get good bar food.

    Lori B was amazing! This triple pizookie was amazing! The service was really fantastic! The food surprised me with deliciousness. I recommend the salted caramel! But we ate them all. The wings were so great!

    Misleading drink.

    Very fun there were trivia games. Server was nice, ambiance was very nice, average for a bar and grill. However I do not drink and I was mislead by the Sangria saying non alcoholic. It's actually 0.5 percent alcohol. Just because it's close to zero doesn't make it ZERO.

    Overall decent experience. Food was good, pizza has a nice flatbread type crunch. The wedge was rather small and underwhelming. Service was weak, but not inattentive just not very personable. Ambiance was kinda boring, dead, dry. Parking was plentiful.

    We went on a Tuesday and it didn't seem that busy but there was still a wait for a table. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and it was a nice surprise that wine was half off (I read this on the menu after ordering a glass and thought the bartender should have mentioned the specials when we ordered) it took a while for the table and we ended up being seated in the bar area at a high top. Had I known, I would've just ordered while at the bar. Again something they should ask is your preferred seating. Usually the bar area you are seated right away and if you want a booth you get on the list. The appetizer took a long time to come out and then our food was quickly after so I wish I would've skipped the appetizer. The waiter was very nice and the food was ok. Overall nothing special and is just like going to any chain (chilis, Texas Roadhouse)

    Came for lunch on a Friday and got seated right away. It's clean, bright, high ceilings. I ordered the skinny margarita and my husband ordered a beer. We also ordered our entrees at the same time. Then we waited..... after 20 minutes we stopped our server to ask about our drinks and he was like "oh I have to go to the bar and get them." They did taste good so there's that. But then we continued to wait for our food for another 15 minutes or so. We noticed the tables around us with the same server were having similar experiences. Not sure if it was the server or short staffing overall or something but that definitely detracted from our meal. I had the nachos with chili as my meal and my spouse had the brewhouse burger with fries. Our food was tasty but based on the extremely slow service at a time when the restaurant wasn't super busy, don't think I'd return.

    Seating area

    Food is ok run of the mill Sysco supplied or another food supplier nothing special but one thing that bugs me if the seating area gets this type Of attention, see pic . Then I can only Imagine the kitchen

This place came up with great reviews, albeit only a couple so far, and we decided to check it out. We drove to the location, which had limited street parking, but we were able to find a spot using my parallel parking skills, then we headed inside. It was a small place, with 2 tables that each sat 4. The TV was on, and we chatted with the guy on the counter who shared a menu with us. In the end we settled for a traditional cheese and pepperoni pizza. No one was using the tables, and we decided to eat in rather than head back to our hotel. We chatted and waited for our pizza, which was done quick and was delicious! Everything you could want from a thin new york style pizza. Good amount of cheese, charred pepperoni, not overcooked or burnt, the crust was soft and delicious. The service was awesome. Every worker we spoke to was nice and personable, without being annoying, over the top or in the way. We were offered silverware and plates, and enjoyed our pizza, before needing a box despite it being so good. I would definitely consider heading back here the next time i'm in Albany, great food AND great service at a reasonable price, what more could you want?

Dough cooked just right NY style. Chewy with light browned bottom crust. The sauce is fresh and honestly the tastiest I have had around here, and they don't skimp on it.

The thing just fell apart all over the place so I had to eat it with a knife and a fork. Just not that good. Some of the chicken was really hard. Honestly I don't even know if it was chicken. My dinner mate kept saying it was tofu but I don't know if it was that either. We also ordered mozzarella sticks which were fine, nice size, typical mozzarella sticks. We also ordered quesadillas that we put in the fridge for the next day. My mate took it for lunch the next day and he said he threw it in the garbage. Three stars for the mozzarella sticks.

Was just across the street from my apartment. I was sold. So fresh, abundant toppings and perfect crust. I used to order it weekly. Not so much when I moved down town. But would get it so often. Always ordered the supreme or meat lovers and was never disappointed. In fact ordered the night before I left about a year and half ago, and still great. Something changed. You can even tell from the photos. Veggies were wilted, old, or worse was a pie sitting under a heat lamp and since I ordered close to closing they might have just recirculated it. It was delivered in 30 minutes, no warmer box, and pie was less than warm and crust hard, like reheated. None of the toppings were like before. Don't get me wrong. Pizza was not bad. Not great, but not bad. Just not the NY style pizza I remember, and disappointed with my first NY pie since being away for a while. My only guess is the family that owned it and truly cared, sold it and the new owners are more about profits and cheap ingredients. Only my 2nd day back and a sad day.
