    Food was delicious and they have a great selection! I tried something new this time, I got the BJ's bowl with shrimp. It was super fresh and tasty! I'd like to try the Tri-tip next. The portion was really generous and I felt I got a good value for the money. I placed an online order and what they gave me was incorrect (wrong items) however they were great at helping get the correct order when I called after getting home. I find this is pretty common at restaurants when ordering take out so just a good reminder to myself to check all the items before leaving the store so I don't have to circle back again. But it was nice of them to correct the error still, especially after a long day.

    The prime rib with the mushroom and onions!!

    After sitting a good 14 min Hannah showed up! There was a mix up on who's table we were at. She was great and kept on with our table. Refills on time... food was decent! Other than the mushrooms and onions being ridiculously small portioned the meal was good. The inside was clean and nice. It's to the point with this chain they all lack the management to train their staff to be the best.

    Excellent Atlantic salmon. Great service. Broccoli cheddar soup in sourdough bread bowl was reportedly amazing. Great overall experience

    First time with my niece and it didn't disappoint. For a Friday night service was very prompt. The atmosphere was pleasant not too loud. I had a cesar salad nothing to exciting and also had the dill pickle wings which were delicious. They were bigger then most wings and very juicy. My niece had a smash burger and biscoff pizookie. The pizookie was dangerously delicious.

    Tyler the BEST server!!!
    Mark R.

    Today's 5 stars goes to Tyler for his OUTSTANDING customer-centered service! With an enthusiastic smile, Tyler ensured our table received top notch service!!' The Cajun shrimp dish my friend had smelled great! I had the individual pan pizza that was made to perfection - love the crust!!! Overall, this was a great visit mostly because of the service received from Tyler!!!

    Late night munchies! Beer cheese and a giant pretzel is always a WIN! Delicious! We were having a blast that I forgot to snap pictures of our entres which we devoured!

    Chocolate Chunk Pizookie

    During a hour lunch break, a coworker and I decided to dine here as it's only 0.3 miles from the office. I'm from Arizona, so I chose something familiar and usually a quick meal. Sadly, service was pretty slow and the kitchen didn't serve food as quick as the location near my house in Arizona. The waitress was very friendly and the dining room was clean. Overall, it was a decent experience but did make us late to return to work as fairly slow service for a weekday lunch.

    The food was so great! I had the All-American Smash Burger with a Biscoff Pizookie for dessert. At the beginning the service wasn't the best, we had been sat at the table for a while before a server approached to take our drink order. But after that point the service got much better! Our server stayed on top of our drinks and our food came out quick. Overall, I am very happy with tonight, and will be back again!

    BBQ Barbeque Chicken Pizza - Large
    Lou B.

    A rough experience! The place is huge and is always filled with people and the servers always seem a bit stretched thin. There were many time we were waiting on refills, silverware, extra plates. The pizza was tasty, but drenched with more bbq than I like and a bit overcooked. I love the variety and vibe of this place, but wasn't impressed with this visit.

    We came, we ate, we drank. BJ has always been on my radar so I finally made a move to impressed. It was oh so good. I want a light beer as a chaser. I sampled 2 beers and choice the lightly. My wife had a dry martini..too much gin. It was a whole lot of gin with a lemon, not cute. There was no olive in the dirty martini. For the meal, I had a BJ pizza which was not hot but the aroma from the pizza was to die for. Wifey had a complex order she wanted the broccoli cheddar soup in a bowl along with a cup of Chili for and extra $2.99. Unfortunately, she got a bowl of chilli with no broccoli cheddar. How come, when it was order. For the finale, we both had pizookie. Wifey had the carmel and I had the strawberry shortcake. I want to come back if not for the ambience of it all! Our server was fantastic. It was game day and we had a quiet afternoon with a beer and BJ and our Pizookies

    seared ahi tuna salad
    Didi N.

    I'm not sure why this place has low ratings but when we went, we had a great time! The food was also pretty good! We came on a random weekday during lunch and while there was little wait to be seated, we had an amazing server! She was so sweet, bubbly, and took such good care of us!! All of her recommendations were also on point too! If you go during happy hour, certain apps are half off! Which was good cause the prices were a little pricey. We had the following: Fried calamari - 9/10 - my husband and I absolutely loved this appetizer. We always try out the fried calamari at other restaurants but we were shocked how good it was here. We don't like the type of batter where it's chunky so when it came out with tempura like batter, we were thrilled! The calamari was tender, fried to a beautiful golden color, and the crunch was insane! What we appreciate the most about the batter that it was light and not overly greasy. We didn't feel yuck after eating it. It came with two dipping sauces, an aioli and marinara sauce. Not sure what was in that aioli but I could drink it! It was smooth, creamy, and I think it has garlic in it? The calamari came with a lemon and I appreciate that because citrus always brightens up the seafood's flavor. Seared ahi tuna salad - 8/10 - this salad was huge!!! It was the size of my head! There were spring mix, tomatoes, crispy wonton skins, shredded cabbage, pickled cucumbers, cilantro, avocado, and slices of seared, sesame coated tuna. Everything was incredibly fresh but I wish there were more and bigger slices of tuna. I was disappointed in the amount of tuna that was on the salad as I wanted a better ratio of it compared to the greens and toppings. The rice wine vinaigrette was tangy, light, and paired well with the tuna. The tuna was fresh as I couldn't detect any fishy aftertaste but I don't taste how it's seared. Overall, a pretty good salad that I would eat again. Jambalaya - 8/10 - my husband loved his entrée and he said while it's not as good as the ones in New Orleans, the flavors and spices were hitting all the spots. I tried a piece of sausage and it had that distinct smoky taste. The portion size was pretty big too! It had chicken, sausage, shrimp, green bell peppers, onions, rice, in a thick, Cajun spiced stew. He enjoyed his entrée and finished it! Our waitress recommended the cookies and cream pazooki (warm cookie on a skillet with ice cream and cookies and cream whipped topping) The pazooki was phenomenal! I would rate it a 10++++++/10 - the dark chocolate chunk cookie in the skillet was warm and gooey and the vanilla ice cream combined with the cool cookies and cream whipped topping was WOW!! Surprisingly it wasn't sweet and it was like eating a heavenly dessert. You get the warm, comforting, nostalgic feel of a fresh baked cookie and the coolness of the ice cream and it was was outstanding! I could eat like 5 more of these! My husband and I finished dessert in no time! We were so happy! Overall, BJ's is a good place for lunch or dinner. The prices are on the pricier side but if you come during happy hour, I think it's M-F between 3-6pm, things are cheaper and you get a bang for your buck! We thought the portion sizes were good and the food was pretty good, So it's okay to splurge here and there, especially if you enjoy the atmosphere, service, and food! We will be back to try other things, especially the other pazookis...

    Complimentary kids plate (so cute right?!)
    Haley R.

    BJ's is always a solid choice, but their $12 Loaded Burgers on Wednesdays are a must-try! We had the Hickory Brisket and Bacon Burger and they were huge, juicy, and came stacked with toppings--definitely a steal for the price. Pair it with their crispy fries, and you've got a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. My daughter's favorite is the Boneless Buffalo Chicken--perfectly crispy, tossed in just the right amount of sauce, and full of flavor. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or having a sit-down meal with friends and family, BJ's delivers great food and a fun atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient and they were so sweet to give us a complimentary kids plate. Such a simple gesture but definitely tipped the scales for a top notch experience. Highly recommend checking them out and don't forget the Pizookie!!

Inside is a little tight, but it is an old building with naked bricks, historic decor, a good sized bar and tables inside. Outside is a deck with covered tables, another area for corn hole and a food truck which has all the major bar food groups including churros. Sean was my beertender and he really was the best. They have a policy of holding your card for tabs which I really hate, but he made me feel comfortable about leaving my life in his hands. When I first walked in on a weekday during happy hour, it was pretty light, but around 4:30p the place started filling up. Happy hour is Monday - Friday until 6pm and they have 18 taps which qualify for happy hour. Plus they had 3 guest taps, both ciders. Ruby Beach has a mug club, it is about $80 for the year. You get a free beer on Tuesday as well as your own numbered mug. It is limited. So exclusive in fact that they do a raffle every August. The BEER: Crown Jewel Belgian Tripel 11.4% ABV... easy drinking, not boozy and quite delicious, this one will sneak up on you Return of the Mac Daddy Pale Ale 5.5% ABV... the description is "rye pale ale hopped with Amarillo.

My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal.

I arrived unaware of its history, but the owner's love for basketball is unmistakable, and the locals reflect that same devotion... not just to the sport, but to the space itself. There's an ease here, a sense that people aren't just passing through. I took a seat at the bar, did what one does in such environments, and ordered an IPA. It was solid... confident, balanced, exactly what you'd hope for. But then came the onion rings, which I ordered based on a subtle but unmistakable social cue: everyone else seemed to be eating them. Reader, they were correct. These were not mere onion rings. These were structurally sound, texturally precise, and philosophically complete. Large, fully cooked onions, no trace of that unpleasant raw bite, encased in a crisp, golden coating that somehow maintained its integrity from first bite to last. Crunchy, consistent, and deeply satisfying. Naturally, I paired them with blue cheese dressing because I'm from upstate New York, and that is not a preference, it is doctrine.

I arrived a little bit later than the rest of my group and they had already ordered several apps for the table. I did not come hungry this trip, so I just munched on the boiled peanuts. They were spectacular. The service was wonderful! The employees were all very engaged with the customers. And what a great place to watch the game! An abundance of TVs and what's better than hanging out with fellow jags fans?! Plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor options. And just a fun place to be. I'm officially a fan now and will for sure check this out on a more regular basis. No pics because I was too busy being blown away by the Jags performance today! Duuuuuvallllll

    We went to Bold City Brewery last night to meet up with a group of friends and hear the free live…read moremusic from a band called Sirsy! Big thanks for Bold City for sponsoring such great quality music! That lead singer was sassy and fun and so real and just - wow - what a voice! Bold City has a dozen large round high top tables and chairs, as well as wall-side rails with stools and a couple low tables, plus seating at the bar and inside the "inner restaurant feel" space. They have a separate and enclosed kitchen where they cook up a selection of easy eating food. Beer selections, wine, a seltzer and a cider are written up on giant blackboards in bright chalk, telling you alcohol content % of each. The bartenders were fast and polite, relatable, and quick with clean up around the venue of all your old empty glasses. Nothing stacked up and they kept the place spotlessly clean. The whole thing has a background of the giant beer "stills"? I don't know what they're called - tall silver things for fermenting the beer. If you didn't know they make the famous Duke's Brown Ale and they sell beer all over in Jacksonville bars.

    My family of three visited Bold City Brewery on a Friday evening for dinner and drinks. The…read moreordering process is straightforward--you place your order at the bar and the food is brought to your table. The burgers were a highlight; both the regular smashburger and the Bold City burger were excellent, and the tots were a great side to share. However, the pepperoni pizza was underwhelming. The atmosphere has a nice, laid-back vibe with live music, which we enjoyed. They had the preseason Jags game on, though the two TVs were out of sync by about 30 seconds, which was was kind of funny. Regarding comfort, the main area isn't air-conditioned; while there are fans and it wasn't unbearable on a warm evening, it is something to keep in mind. There is an air-conditioned room available, though it doesn't appear to have TVs. My only major frustration came after we left. We started a tab but left without officially closing it out. I expected a standard 20% gratuity to be added, but instead, over $20 was added as a tip, bringing our total to nearly $92. It would have been better to have more transparency regarding automatic gratuity on unclosed tabs. Overall, it's a cool spot with good burgers, but be sure to close out your tab before you leave to avoid any surprises.
