BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse is exactly what you would expect from a large chain restaurant with an extensive menu that covers everything from burgers and pasta to steaks, pizzas, and desserts. We walked into a large, comfortable space with a sports bar feel that makes it an easy choice for groups since there is something for almost everyone. The atmosphere is casual and familiar, the kind of place where you can settle in without overthinking the choice, and the layout accommodates both small tables and larger parties comfortably. The menu offers plenty of variety, though it can feel overwhelming at times. We ordered a mix of dishes and found the food generally decent, with nothing particularly standing out as exceptional. Most dishes were satisfying without being especially memorable, and the portions were generous enough to share depending on what you ordered. The Pizookie is still the highlight of the menu and is easily the best reason to save room for dessert, with the warm cookie and ice cream coming together in a way that felt more distinct than the rest of the meal. The appetizers and burgers were solid, and the pasta dishes were filling, but the flavors across the menu leaned more toward dependable than exciting. Service was friendly throughout our visit, though the pace was a little slower than expected during busier times. The restaurant is well suited for families, larger groups, or anyone looking for a dependable chain restaurant without having to think too much about where to eat, and the team managed the volume without making the experience feel rushed. BJ's is a solid option when you want variety and a casual atmosphere, but it is not somewhere we would specifically go out of our way to visit. The dessert is worth trying, but the rest of the menu feels more dependable than memorable. read more

Every thing was just fine. Nothing bad. Nothing spectacular. The interior was a warehouse vibe. And very loud. Food and drinks took a while to be served. Server checked in once after food was delivered. You then pay at the table kiosk. Food was ok. A bit on the greasy side. But flavorful. read more

My husband and I are frequent flyers at Bjs on the weekend. Most times Liz is our bartender and as usual she is phenomenal and many times we have also had Erica and we can't say enough wonderful things about them while Liz was out on vacation. Stephanie was the bartender and we absolutely loved her and cannot say enough good things about her. She is so sweet and kind and so attentive to the patrons today we were able to meet Madeline, who was also absolutely incredible, very kind and attentive. We are very impressed with the bartending staff at Bjs hence why we come back time after time you should be very proud. read more

This place feels as much like a chain as a restaurant can, complete with a menu of way too many items. I went with the All-American Smash Burger. I was surprised how good it was. Too many pickles (yes that is a thing) but the meat was delicious. The fries unfortunately kinda suck. The service was friendly but slow. The room was decorated like a chain restaurant, nothing special. I'd go back but I wouldn't hurry back. read more

Average food. Nice loud speakers. But it's ok to turn the music down when the place is nearly empty.

Came here recently with 2 friends and the drinks were really good and refreshing on a nice warm summer day. The vibe was nice and chill inside with a lot of TVs so people can watch the games on. We were able to be seated immediately without a reservation which was lucky since it was definitely busy. I would recommend making a reservation. The service was quick, efficient, and accommodating to our order which was great. We ordered the avocado egg rolls as an appetizer to split which was delicious. I'd like to come back to try some of the other drinks and food on their menu as it's quite vast. read more

Had one of their take out deep dish pizza's tonight. It looked pretty good in their pictures and even the pie I got looked decent before eating it. Unfortunately it was not good. Crust was super soggy, almost raw on the bottom. Veggies were ice cold and completely raw...I mean not even cooked at all. I hate to be harsh but the rest of the toppings all tasted like they were from a cheap frozen pizza and void of any flavor. I picked up a slice and it fell completely apart. I had 2 very messy slices and threw the rest right in the garbage. Such a waste of money. read more

Food was ok. We ordered Brussels sprouts, garlic shrimp in appetizers. We also ordered cocktails. Cocktails were good actually. We tried 3 and all were nice. We had ribeye and vegetarian protein bowl in main course. Rib eye was good . Over all experience was but I guess our expectations were higher. Parking is free outside and there is plenty of it. read more

Had a wonderful experience during my recent visit. We went for dinner, the atmosphere was warm & cozy and the wait time was minimal--a great start to the evening. Our host was attentive, checking in on us a few times to ensure we had a great dining experience. I ordered the BJ's Kickin' Chicken Sandwich, substituting crispy chicken with grilled chicken, and my friend got the California Chicken Club. The fries were perfectly crispy and not too greasy. I like that the sauces were served on the side rather than in the sandwich, giving me full control over the spice level. Their drinks and pizookie menu looked really interesting--I'll definitely be trying those on my next visit! read more

We tried to have a family dinner at BJ's. We had a 6:30 reservation, and a little after 7:30, they gave our table to another large party. Literally everyone person that was there while we waited got seated. We finally left at 7:45 since the manager wouldn't even come to talk to us, after we requested to see him. I had never eaten there before, and now I never will. read more

I preface this by saying I worked in the hospitality industry for many years so I know what it takes to do that job day in and day out. I had an amazing experience at my most recent visit to Bj's. I went in by myself for a solo lunch and sat at the bar. Erika was the bartender. She was incredibly kind throughout my visit, she was helpful and polite to her coworkers and she was completely professional during my entire stay-- she didn't ignore customers for side conversations or playing on her phone. My food arrived, brought by who I found out was AGM James-- and I experienced the same kinda attitude. He was happy to delivery my meal, asked if I needed anything else, brought me an additional condiment, and ensured again I was all set. These may seem like small gestures, or something you may not even notice, but as I worked these jobs before, I look out for the stand out employees that truly understand hospitality and providing an amazing experience-- even just for a burger. In fact, this review is less about the food (which was really good-- wings and sliders) and more about the professional service. In the world we live in, phones always in our hands, a different work ethic from the younger generations, so many distractions, it was so refreshing to see people taking pride in their work and the tone they set for the restaurant. I look forward to returning! read more

The food is fine but there's a 15 minute wait despite there being 16 empty tables or booths. I'm sorry, I forgot to include 2 tables are are empty and just need to be bussed. So make that 18 empty tables or booths but a 15 minute wait. It's 6:04. I highly doubt they have 18 reservations that are either late or scheduled to walk in at 6:30. I'd skip this place unless you're looking for a burger on a weeknight. Ambience is predictable: big sports TVs for the 5 people sitting at the bar. read more

I usually find myself at BJ's when I want to grab a beer after dinner or to watch sports games with friends. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is always prompt and courteous. I will say that in my experience the food has always been mediocre so if you're looking for a dinner spot there are better options around nearby. All in all, it's a convenient spot to meet up for drinks and socialize with friends. read more

Food is okay depending what you get. They always give us less wings than 10. If you are charging for 10 wings, you should give 10 wings. That's being dishonest. Service is good read more

We popped in for a quick bite to eat after a night of fun at Level99. There were 4 of us in our group. We were quickly shown to a table. After some waiting our server came to greet us and take our drink order. Then after about 10 minutes another server brought and drinks and then informed us that she would be taking over our table, along with her trainee. I ordered a Steakhouse Wedge Salad, steak cooked medium rare. One of the others at our table ordered the Avocado Egg rolls, to share. Our food arrived pretty quickly and everything tasted wonderful. The avocado egg rolls were good, but nothing extra special, they definitely need the sauce they are served with. The steak was cooked perfectly and my salad was very fresh and tasted great. While the transition from our initial server to our new server was annoying, our new server was wonderful and she was very personable and friendly. I did visit the mens restroom and well it needed some attention. I would comeback, but I am not going out of my way to come back. read more

Wish I could leave a review of the food but I couldn't even get seated in the 80 mins we stood there like idiots. Watched numerous people who showed up after me get seated. Clearly if we ever got seated the food was going to take at least another hour. Waitresses/waiters severely understaffed. Looks like a place with good atmosphere. Bottom line, don't go on a Friday or Saturday night. They can't handle many people. read more

My wife and I dined here late after arriving in the area for the holiday. The service was quite slow. We split a combo tri tip and ribs. The ribs were tasty and good, the tri tip was tough and not tasty. Fries were good and so was dessert. Not worth the price. read more

I found this place as it was very close to a hotel I was staying at. This is a regular, your average style american type of food. It is also a chain. I came here for lunch on a Monday and It was not crowded at all what soever. The space is huge and has a very nice and spacious bar area. I sat at the bar. The waitress who helped me was very nice, talkative and answered any and all questions I had. She also, took my allergies seriously. They have many different beers on tap. I tried a few of them they all were very good. I had a grilled chicken sand which with cheese, avocado, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce. The bread was very crispy and a bit buttery which I like. The bacon was cooked perfectly just how I like it. I had it with fries. The fries to me were just ehh. Maybe a but too salty for me, I don't know cant put my finger on it. If I am by one of these places as this is a chain I would come back but I wouldn't go out of my way to come to one. read more

We went late on a Sunday evening specifically for the Happy Hour specials. Drinks were so so, Pizza was passable, Appetizer was good. When the bill came, which should've been a $30 bill was 70. Waiters excuse was that the tent advertisement was old. I pointed out that the banner on the wall at the same specials listed on it. Took 3 try's to get the bill right. Making a mistake can be excused, but this was outright trying to rip us off read more

I felt compelled to write a review for BJ's restaurant sake....Friday...March 13, we were a party of 2x couples....headed to the bar just for a drink....around 9:30 pm, we sat at the bar just talking...there were 4 to 5 people bartending...or so at least i thought all of them were bartending....they seemed to be agitated at something....not one smile on all of them.....after 15 mins, i got the attention of one of the lady bartender and we ordered our drinks.....mixed drinks for our wife's and black and tan for the guys......i can tell she was irked by the black and tan...it shows in her face....not a smile at all.....she comes back with the mixed drinks and immediately looks at us raising her hands and saying "I only have two hands" she said she will bring the beers shortly.....i wonder what prompted her to say that? we were not rushing her or anything.......she said it with an aggressive demeanor.....we finish our drinks and paid the tab...we gave a 10 dollar tip and when she looked at our tip....she punched the register...slams the register door and walks away........about 10 mins later, a guy who is her assistant goes to us and ask us if we needed any more drinks....with an aggressive demeanor......i tell you...the vibe that night was off putting, everyone at the bar was very un-professional....THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE THERE THAT NIGHT......was the message......Management, pls talk to your crew, its not an easy job but you have to be professional about it.....everyday.....that crew needs to be warned at least....if they cannot handle the stress, they need to find another line of work..... read more

Great for a really basic place (?) Service is slow - took forever to give our drink orders let alone food. We had a weird situation, though, where the table ahead of us dined and dashed so our waiter had trouble taking out order. There was also quite a wait even with a reservation. The food was really basic but good if you have the right expectations. For some reason I got steak... not a great idea. Just meh. They cooked mine way too much the first time and I had to send it back :( But the spooky pizookie was the reason we came and it delivered (mostly- they didn't have the crackle chocolate on top) But I'd go again for another fun gimmick food! read more

What a great place! Good food, great 'spirit-free' mocktails as well as a huge beer selection even though I'm not a beer drinker. our server Sami was so engaging- we talked about the menu in detail and she was so personable. Great food is one thing for a fantastic experience and the great service is the icing on the cake. Wish this restaurant was also on the south shore in MA! read more

I've been a fan of BJ's for years in California (when I lived there). I was thrilled when they opened in MA. The food is usually very good. And a visit today just reinforced my belief. The prices are just above average, but reasonable. One problem I saw today... no more Tri-Tip on the menu. While in CA I got a taste of it, but back east it's not the most popular cut. The staff paid attention and brought refills without us needing to ask. Overall, very good service. I see a lot of mediocre revires here but I really like the place. It's an hour drive from NH but we'll worth it in my book. read more

Always great atmosphere, food ,& service. It's now our go-to for dinner out. A wide variety of menu items.

This place started out so strong when it first opened and now it's a disaster. Management definitely sucks because no well run restaurant should keep having the same issues over and over. Placed an order through DoorDash today. Received the wrong drink entirely. Shrimp dish I ordered was only half full and the bread that came with it was stale, not to mention the shrimp was totally lacking flavor. They also were behind in the kitchen (as usual) so one dasher had to leave because it was taking so long. Probably won't be back. Very unfortunate because I liked the menu. read more

Not sure what's up with all the bad reviews. Had the honey buffalo wings and they were delicious. Also grabbed a Hefeweizen beer which was good. My daughter got some chicken tenders and fries which were also good. We grabbed a cookie ice cream dessert to finish it off. Service was very attentive and friendly and the place was spotless. Really couldn't have gone any better. read more

Terrible from the start. My beer was flat and there was something floating in my husband's beer. It took 15 mins before he got replacement beer. We both ordered chicken club sandwiches. The toasted bread, chicken and fries were hard and cold like they had been sitting around forever. Gross. We had the waitress get the manager. I refused to order anything else. We got up and left. Never have done that before. Avoid this place. read more

Great service Madeline fantastic. Great food deals all the servers are very caring . I highly recommend this resteraunt

I really don't like giving bad reviews but our experience here was less than stellar. The cocktails were good and some of the food was okay. The onion rings tasted like Funyons in my opinion. The restrooms were beyond nasty and very much neglected. No paper, filthy floors, I will end there because you might lose your appetite. Our waiter was someone I would expect at Dick's Last Resort...or maybe that is the vibe and we just weren't getting it. The final straw of the evening was when he assumed my husband was my daughter's grandfather and called him gramps. Yeah, that didn't sit well. If you like decent drinks and less than mediocre food then this is your place. Bring your own TP and paper towels. read more

Went there for a late lunch with my wife, after shopping for furniture. Wife ordered the smokehouse burger, which was hot and tasty. I ordered a personal pizza, had some cold spots and warm. I mentioned it to the server and she got them to make me a new one, which I appreciated. However, when it arrived it had a large hair on the plate, which I pointed out to the server immediately after she dropped it off. She was surprised and disappointed to see it as well and I simply just asked for the check. Her face said it all, she had no words. The pizza was taken off the bill, but after all that, the manager should have taken care of the whole bill. Just saying... Unfortunately, I have had issues here in the past. On two other occasions I had ordered burgers and they were cold. Coming here again was another opportunity to see if service had improved. Sorry, but that's a lot of chances to get things right, but there's always something wrong, I find. I don't think I'll be coming back read more

I've read the other reviews and feel compelled to leave my own, since my experience seems at odds with so many negative reviewers'. I come here often, with groups and alone, & have had mostly positive experiences. The times that I've had the worst visits are when the servers and bartenders are stretched thin. The bar staff are overall stellar people and hard workers. I've seen them nearly bend over backwards to make sure guests are taken care of. And they are not afraid to cut patrons off to make sure they're not overserved. The food is decent, and I'd encourage anyone who's put off by their prices to take advantage of their daily specials and in-house beers. read more

We were heading toward Jordan's furniture and looking to grab a quick lunch. This newer restaurant had outside seating, so we decided to give it a try. We were seated outside, and there was only one other party on their large patio. The patio is spacious and covered, but it is next to Route 9, so there is an abundance of traffic noise. * HONEY-CRISP CHICKEN SALAD: $17.25 1,360 calories * ENLIGHTENED SEARED AHI SALAD: $19.45 570 calories My Ahi Tuna salad was very good, not too much dressing and the tuna tasted fresh. The honey crisp salad was good, though some of the chicken was dry. Service was excellent. The bill with tip was $54. Overall, we thought this visit merited 4-stars, and would visit again. read more

Went for lunch on a Sunday. It was not my first time at a BJs but was my first time at this location and in at least several years. The restaurant is large inside with plenty of seating. It was pretty quiet when we arrived but started filling up towards the end. We had a variety of meals between us all - salad, tacos, burger, sandwhich, tenders. And we had a coupon for their pizookie. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food came out pretty quick, was a good temperature, and it tasted great. The pizookie was really good. Definitely recommend leaving some room for dessert. Bjs is a good place for American cuisine, slightly upscale bar or sports spot, and brewery. read more

Loved the limited menu "practice" dinner so much, have been back twice in the first week of their opening. I was further impressed with this spot. Sat at the bar one night and enjoyed their excellent pork chop... a fantastic dish that comes with your choice of 2 sides. Perfectly cooked, a great choice. On my next visit, had the Guacamole and chips... let's just say that they have some of the best guac you'll find anywhere.... seems like the same guac they use for the egg rolls... really great. Tried the Tavern Cut Pepperoni Pizza... honestly, not my favorite item... I will concentrate on the many other excellent things on the large and will go elsewhere for pizza. My wife absolutely loved her Cherry Chipotle Glazed Salmon entree. We finished up with my first Pizookie... their famous dessert that they have in many flavors. The Strawberry Shortcake was very good. As an aside, I love how they show a photo of every dish on their web site. Wish more places would do that. Really tells a lot about a dish. Service from Keven C was professional, friendly and efficient. I could come here every night! read more

Worst prime rib I ever had or seen. The manager was just as bad. Four of us went last night 10/17, terrible. Service was fine.

First time in Boston from Philly. Place was recommended. Great atmosphere. Clean. Started off with drinks and wings. The wings were good. I should have asked to have them cooked harder. But good. I personally got this peanut chicken pasta they. It was delicious! (If you not big on peanut butter or allergic I suggest you stay away.) Family got the other food I have pictured. My only gripe was my waitress took a bit long getting my beer but it was an overall great experience. Would come back again in the future. read more
