This was the first time my husband and I came to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse and it was a great experience! The food was delicious! We also had the pleasure of having RC as our waiter and he had a very upbeat and helpful attitude ! He was genuinely nice and definitely added to our wonderful experience. read more

RC was our waiter tonight. He provided excellent service to us. Over all RC made our time at BJ's restaurant a wonderful experience.

The food was great and RC was fantastic. You should definitely try the pot stickers and pizookies all the time.

We had RC as our server and he was great! He checked back with us often to see how things were and see if we needed anything.Food came out fast and was delicious! read more

RC for the win.....but my spicy peanut chicken with soba was extremely overcooked and stuck together ( the noodles)

Our server was friendly, attentive and accurate. We had a good visit. I would recommend this location.

TYRAIL AND MIKE D. Bartenders at bj are very knowledgeable with the menu and the cocktail program here , definitely come by and check them out , great atmosphere, great concept, and great service.Thank you read more

I come here fairly often because it's usually okay and very near the cinema. The beer is good and food overall mediocre. The ribs and deep dish pizza are okay, as is the steak. The online menu still lists calamari, but it's no longer on the in-store menu, so I got zucchini straws; the zucchini straws could be okay, but they are so, so, very salty, as well as greasy. Onion rings or calamari would be better (hint: you can get a bloomin' onion next door and overall better food). I had the deep dish ziti once; it was burnt. The parmesan-crusted chicken is flavorless. They have a pork chop glazed with a sickly-sweet sauce--avoid it. The salads are generally okay. read more

Horrible service - we were sat for 40 minutes with a family of 5 with no service, asked multiple times to be helped, no one willing. Told we would have a waitress - never did. Many other tables sat and served in the meantime. Will never return. read more

I decided to try BJs again since I came here before with one of my colleagues. Upon arrival it was crowded so I was able to secure seating fast. I'm not a rocket scientist but I couldn't understand why I was seated 10-15mins went by I didn't even get a drink order in. After getting up to mentally yell at the hostess, she finally sent someone to help. The server/hostess because that's who she was didn't have no social skills the thought just because she was young and smiled that we were suppose to roll over and ignore her tardiness and non management skills. I finally ordered the root beer glaze wings and avocado egg rolls for an appetizer. I ended up getting the brisket burger as well. Please help me figure out why all came at the same time 35mins later to be exact. We finally got a waitress she was awesome and kinda allowed my son to butter her up lol. Perhaps I came on the wrong day, in the end my brisket burger was fire. I would have given more stars if the service didn't start off so terrible. read more

Went to BJ's for a large group (20 people) event. They were so accommodating! Shwe was our waitress and she was fabulous handling all our orders, including appetizers, meals, and desserts. She was also very patient and kind with our large group of teenagers. The menu had tons of options for different dietary restrictions - gluten free, vegetarian, low carb. Was very impressed by the outstanding food and service! Definitely recommend. read more

RC was amazing!! high energy and fun. food was pretty good and it was an amazing experience.

RC was a great server! He was very positive, nice, and energetic! He visited our table often and helped answer any questions we had. Couldn't ask for better service! read more

Two stars is generous. My party and I arrived and the hostess had a serious attitude. We were asking about seating and she would barely answer. The tables they wanted us to sit at weren't cleaned off... manager got involved and we finally sat. Server was cool. Jambalaya pasta was good. The rest of my party food was lackluster. My cousin ordered a old fashion and it came to the table PINK.... Lol like what? Service terrible food terrible Yeah go somewhere else read more

AMAZING FOOD! There was so much to choose from on this menu. We had the tuna appetizers as well as the stuffed mushrooms. Both were "perfection" on a plate. I had the ribs and the hot wings. Delicious. Huge portions. My client had the deep dish baked ziti. The flavors were exceptional and the cheese was creamy and rich. You could eat here once a month and still not have tried everything on the menu by the end of 2019 read more

I love this place! Especially this location! Always enjoy my food and service! Keep up the good work guys! read more

Tuesday night is half off pizza. They should call it half of the toppings are missing. I was told a different chef was working. Really! A year ago it was pretty decent and pricey. Now it's just pricey. Margarita is not good and the Goliath is okay at best. read more

Extremely disappointed with my visit to the Laurel restaurant today. Several issues. 1. I asked for napkins, 10 mins later I asked for napkins again. 10 mins later I finally received the napkins. 2. Burger was very under cooked. We were waiting for the napkins after our first request to let the server know about the burger. It took about 20-25 mins for them to cook another burger. 3. Our server, however very polite, was very slow and worse, had TERRIBLE body odor. I actually had to wear my mask sitting at the table because he smelled so bad. 4. Highly overpriced We were there for lunch. We were not planning to be there for 2 hours. They need to do better. Also, if you are working in the food industry, good hygiene is a must. I don't plan on returning read more

What more can you asked for ^_^ I came here for lunch on a Monday after my birthday with a friend. I saw online they had half off deep dish pizzas . So you know I had to jump on it!!! The inside was pretty empty I guess because it was the holiday seasons. The atmosphere is pretty nice and modern. We sat at the bar and our server was very attentive and nice. He suggested some of their popular items from the menu. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and my friend ordered the jambalaya and he said it was good. I had a taste of his jambalaya and he was pretty good but a little bit more spicy for my taste. The buffalo chicken was to die for! I will definitely ordered this again. Just FYI if you're wearing heels be careful the floor doesn't have any grips so walk cautiously. read more

We came on a whim looking for quick bites before the movie. We was able to get seating quick at the bar. Never been here before either. Bartender was very attentive, and even changed a game to the middle tv to make it easier for some guys next to us to watch. We ordered the sampler and it was great. They even have mules from around the world... We going back tonight read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - New American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Overpriced. Slow service. Mediocre food. And it took THREE HOURS to finish dinner. Never again.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon after a friend of mine chose this place to meet up. Our original place was vetoed because she was bringing her baby and the other place was too small and did not want to deal with the hassle. So, we came here and it was packed! The only table available at the time we arrived was a table right by a baby shower, which at the time, we thought we didn't mind. But, it may have been a bit much. I say all of this to say, that this may have impacted our inconsistent service. Our server seemed new, or maybe he was overwhelmed. But, our service was patchy and slow. At times, he would come back quickly and other times, it would take him long periods of time before we even saw him and that was usually the times we needed something the most. My friend ordered the appetizer sampler and I ordered some calamari and wings. The calamari was average in taste, but chewy; and the wings were pretty good. I will likely get those if I ever come again. I also ordered a pear cider and they brought me something totally different. When I realized it, they switched it out. It was weird that they made a big deal to come back and tell me they were taking the other drink off my bill. Uh, of course you are. You brought me the wrong drink and I only took 2 sips of it. Yes, that should be a given, not a perk. Also, my silverware was dirty, but the server took so long to come back after our food arrived, that I never got a chance to swap it out. Luckily, I didn't really need a fork. But, yeah, our server disappeared after we received our food and we had to flag him down to get a check and he took about 20+ minutes to come back to process our check. He did have some help as it seems the manager was walking around helping; the manager was actually the person who changed my drink and took my order. So, in sum, it was an average experience. I like to think that service would have been better had it not been so packed and we weren't sitting next to a baby shower. However, I would have liked some more "check in" from staff. The food is average American restaurant fare, nothing spectacular. But, it is a nice, affordable spot to just stop in for an average meal. read more

We were invited to BJ's Brewery for a friend's birthday. The brewery was aware that it would be a large group of 20+ People. When I arrived, I was directed to an area that had the appropriate number of seats. The server took my drink order and I asked for water. I understand with a large group, there would be a longer wait this I knew. However, I did not expect to repeatedly having to ask for water. After about a 20 min wait, I got a glass of water. A drink was brought to me but it was not the drink I ordered. I ended up cancelling my drink order and going to the bar and getting a drink in 5 minutes. I went back to the table to wait for my food order which was a lettuce wedge and garlic Parmesan wings. The lettuce wedge was crisp and delicious. The wings-not so much. The wings were not well seasoned or cooked hard enough. I took them to go after eating a few, knowing my Husband and Son will eat anything. The atmosphere was great because I was among good friends but the food was lacking. read more

What a wonderful addition to the once desolate Laurel Towne Center. Located to your immediate left as soon as you enter the new shopping center, a small parking lot is adjacent from the restaurant, but your best bet is to park across the street in the bigger parking lot. Myself and a few others planned an outing here with a group of 11 awesome people, on a Thursday evening. BJ's is known for their large variety of beers, I didn't partake, but I heard positive reviews about them. Our server, Caroline, was rather busy with such a large table of people, but she stayed on top of our table's needs. She did all this while being extremely pleasant and helpful. With such an extensive menu, it was really hard to decide what to get. Who am I kidding, I'm on a pseudo diet, so I knew I couldn't order what I really wanted...a burger or pizza, so I ordered from the "enLIGHTened" menu. Every item on that particular portion of the menu is under 795 calories. I decided on the Mediterranean Chicken Pita Tacos with a side of bistro grains. I don't have a clue what the bistro grains were (even after I ate it) but the entire dish was under 700 calories and they were really tasty, so I wasn't complaining. My meal as a whole was actually really good. I could see myself ordering it again (clearly while on this pseudo diet though). Our table also indulged on a few appetizers, one of which I can't remember the name of, but it was good. The one I remember was the avocado egg rolls and they were surprisingly really good as well. All and all, a good time was had by all. The service, the food, the lively atmosphere, and of course the fabulous company were all truly wonderful! I will definitely be back in the future...clearly after this "diet" has died down! Beer and burgers....HERE I COME! PS I love the colorful and festive bar area. Check out the HH. Happy Hour is Mon - Fri 3pm - 6pm / Sun - Thurs10pm - Close. Come in on Tuesday's, Half Off Wines all day. They also have appetizer specials for HH. read more

As a Cali girl, I am a fan of this establishment. When I found out they were opening up a BJ's across the street from me you can imagine my excitement. I'm not typically a fan of chain restaurants except for BJ's. I've been here 4 times since they opened a little over 2 weeks ago and my experience with the food was consistent. I always order either the Pizza or the Santa Fe Salad along with their famous Pizookie for dessert. YOU can not enter and leave without having a Pizookie - that would be just wrong. The BEST server I've had so far was Patricia. Very funny, knew the menu, was quick on her feet and didn't have us waiting. I had 2 visits and the servers weren't as great but I will give them a pass since its a new restaurant- however I will ask for Patricia the next time I visit. Gotta stick to what you know right? All in all - I'm excited that my fav place is around the corner. The place is pretty packed in the evenings so make sure you're prepared to wait if you come during game time or after 7. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Santa Fe Chicken Salad - New American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Slightly underwhelmed. In the 'new' Laurel Plaza. Heard its good for a drink or whatever. Fair parking, wait was pretty awful. Not sure what was going on. Had a toddler with us, despite telling the hostess on at least three occasions, they did not provide us with appropriate seating. We ended up sitting in the bar area without a high chair. Odd. The flights are cool, and decently priced. The food was alright. Brussel sprouts were grilled nice, the salad that I had, the Sante Fe was pretty large, decent. Food is just okay, service slightly less than that. We were seated in a high traffic area, but felt that we were forgotten about. Download the app for deals. Can't say I'd purposely return, maybe I'd try happy hour. read more

Went here on a Thursday night to meet a group of friends. Upon arrival I gave the hostess our name for reservations, she looked up the reservations, told me she would be right back and that was that. She was gone for about 15 min. Finally another hostess came up and I asked her was everything ok and she said "yes, she is getting your table ready.". I'm thinking geesh would've been nice if the 1st hostess had shared with me why she was leaving instead of giving me a weird look (like uh oh your reservation isn't on here), say she'll be back and leave me with thoughts of "is everything ok? what's going on?". She returned about 15 minutes later and showed me to our table. It was a long table set up for about 15 people. Seating arrangement definitely could've been a little better. It was a little cramped because we were right up against a wall and the path between us and the next table was very small. Our waitress came over shortly after and introduced herself. Her name is Carolina and she was a doll. Unfortunately, throughout the night you could tell that she was overwhelmed because we had to wait a good 20 min before we placed appetizer orders, she was gone for long periods of time throughout the meal. Especially at times we really needed her. Like to order more drinks, clear the dishes off the table, etc. The entire ordering, eating, process was long/delayed. I'm assuming they were short staff but I really don't know. Here's what I ordered and what I thought about my food; Cajun Pasta - I added shrimp for a extra few dollars. The shrimp were very small and when I am paying a nice coin for a pasta dish with shrimp I expect for my shrimp to look like what I paid for. That was a little disappointing. Overall dish was a little too oily but it was good. Not sure if I would order this again but if I do I would leave the shrimp out. Santa Fe Spring Rolls - Filled with chicken, black beans, fire‑roasted red bell peppers, cilantro, sweet corn, jalapenos and jack cheese. Topped with pico de gallo and served with our Santa Fe dressing and avocado cream sauce. The wrapping wasn't crispy. Inside was mushy. Wasn't too pleased with this dish. Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea - Weak. Tasted more Coca-Cola than anything. Wouldn't order it again unless it was a different bartender or s/he learn to make a good Long Island. Apple Martini - Too sour. The first thing I tasted was sweet and sour. Ugh! Was really off balanced. I should have listened to my fellow diners who said the Lemon Drop and Cosmo were the best Martinis. The Hostesses were very in-personable when I arrived. The person in this position is the first impression you get sometimes at a restaurant and I personally think you should be interactive with your customers especially when they first walk in. That wasn't the case this night because the both of them were very stand-offish when I arrived and didn't communicate clearly on what was happening. The DINING experience was decent. Carolina did a good job. Wish they were fully staffed so that she could have tended to our table a little better. The DRINKING experience was disappointing. Bartender needs a little lesson or mixing drinks. Maybe I will return at some point but have no plans to do so anytime soon. read more

3.5 stars. It's a pretty new and pretty popular place. The first time I tried to go, there wasn't an open seat in the house. Comfy room, subdued lighting but there are downward spots so you can actually read the menu. The headliner here is, of course, the beer. I got a sampler of four house brews for $7.95. All were well made, true to type, and just a bit edgy, showing that the brewmaster was going for good and not just good enough. Feeling hungry, I went for the full rack of baby backs. The ribs were tender and moist, with a sauce/glaze that was savory and just a bit sweet. Not a hint of smoke, though. A tiny bit of chiplotle would have gone a long way. Mashed potatoes were excellent in flavor and texture. The roasted Brussels sprouts were a great idea as a healthier choice, but poorly executed. They were quartered, which lead to uneven cooking, and dry. I use Jacques Pepin's recipe, using the slicing blade on the food processor and tossing with a bit of olive oil. Service was friendly. There is free WiFi but like many places you need to open the browser and agree to the terms. There are some good HH specials, and quite a few lighter options. Fairly large wine list, but the prices seemed a bit high. Half a step up from TGIF or Applebee's, worth a stop but I wouldn't go too far out of my way. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here at BJ's l was recommended to go here from the lady that do my nails. She lives in the Laurel md area and she recommended it. She said she came here with her family one Saturday night after work and had the pizza. She also stated that the flights were free. I knew that couldn't be possible because how could they make money giving away free beer flights but l wanted to try them out anyway. Especially since they had fruity flights. Woo-hoo l enjoyed every bit of it. I never drank a glass so fast in my life. It was delicious! Especially the berry and the Raspberry. Those were my favorites. I really enjoyed all 4 flights and the pizza was sooo good. It was thin crust and only 110 per slice. Not bad at all. It was called BJ Brewhouse Classic. Very crunchy and seasoned just right. I don't normally do thin crust but that pizza was on point. Good for 2 people but if you're sharing with a larger group you might want to get something bigger. We definitely enjoyed our visit and we didn't have to wait long for our table. The waitress was also very busy but she tried to stay on top of things. The only wait was when we was ready to pay. They started to get pretty busy. I would definitely recommend and return. read more

Wait times were long but food was quite good and made up for it.

Went for a going away thing and we have a lot of people. It was pretty crazy whenever food/drinks came out because the runners didn't know who ordered it so would just be going up and down the line yelling whatever it was. Then everyone would be yelling it down the line haha. Would of been better to assign seat numbers for everyone that worked that table. I was impressed when the server did our checks though. She kept the checks separate for everyone which was nice. The place lacks many vegetarian/vegan options. I opted for the baby kale and brussels sprout salad. It came with blueberries, grapes, seeds, goat cheese in a raspberry vinaigrette. It was pretty good but was kinda skimpy on some of the things and I was still hungry after. Fiancé got the brisket burger and he said he enjoyed it. At a previous visit, I did get the portobello mushroom burger and that was really good. If you take off the cheese, it could be vegan. Make sure to specify that you want the all vegetarian burger because the original has some meat in it still. read more

Came here on 12/29 at about 7 and I have to say is, If this place is busy, expect your drink order to come out after the entre and the entre to come out uncooked. All we got from our server was that they are experiencing poor management and when we pointed out the uncooked pork chop was told they would take it off the bill. Another server showed up only for our server to run over and say he talked to a manager and they already took it off. needless to say I am leaving dinnerless :( probably not coming back unless I am the only one here and how likely is that?!? I think the saving grace as always is the fruit beer called Lindeman's Framboise. I may come back for that it's he only beer I like. read more

I do not recommend this location. I used to come here often years ago for a bartender that was really good. I wish I remembered her name. However I stopped coming soon after she stopped working at this location because every encounter with anyone else sucked. The staff barely acknowledge your presence and they seem to rather chatter amongst themselves. It's been a few years since Ive been back at this location and thought I'd give it another try in hopes that it may have gotten better. However my expectations were not met once again. My boyfriend and I got seated at sticky table with crumbs on it. Wasn't able to ask someone to clean it because no one showed up at our table we were there long enough to take turns to use the bathroom and look at the menu of what we wanted and no one still came. We decided to leave. As we walked out a gentleman said thanks for coming. My boyfriend said yeah no one came to our table to even order. The host or waiter turned his back and kept walking. So unreal of a service. I will be sure to never set foot into this establishment again. It's insane. It was not busy by the way. Jasmine Turner read more

These are all over California and decided to meet my mom and sister here when I got into town for the holiday. Too bad I couldn't have anything I actually wanted because their 86 list was 50+ items long. No cider, out of 9 beers and basic liquors like Stoli and Jim Beam. The manager came over after my FIFTH attempt at ordering a drink and said it was a distributor issue. New place, totally understand if they haven't worked out their ordering yet but don't blame it on a distributor that you're out of standard beers. Sad because my family definitely won't come back after this experience. read more
