I've been here a few times and both times were not memorable. The service was severely lacking, I waited 10 minutes for someone to even greet me. While that was me being patient, it took 15 mins to get my drinks.... my appetizers came out before I even got water.. The restaurant was not busy either, the food was even more disappointing. My sandwich was burnt as well as the salmon my bf got. They gave him asparagus ends for his veggies. Not edible at all! Overall, avoid this place. Go to Nandos or panera instead. 5 thumbs down read more

I've never had an issue with food here however in the age of Covid, I have had issues with to go orders. With less employees working there's no one to greet you when you walk in and trying to get your to go order takes more time for some strange reason. If you call they do not answer the phone so don't even bother. I think the managers at this location need to do better at customer service and maybe they do need to re-hire more employees in order to be more efficient. read more

I love the happy hours specials they have here . The food is also great! I recommend this place to all my friends and family. The TVs all around the place is an extra added bonus for your viewing pleasure.. read more

My family and i step into BJ's for a bite after a long day of travel so we figured go with the chain place that had decent Yelp reviews. The hostess was sweet to the kids, quick, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server was training, I assume because she had a tag along but didn't say why, they were polite and knowledgeable at the beginning. We order a few apps, the were okay, not how the menu described or pictured ( few things different) but no real issue. Then we waited 30 minutes our food, no drink refills, and one dish out of seven came out and we all drooled while only one plate of food was on the table. We had been told the fryer went down but the only dish at our table that needed frying was the fried chicken and that was the only dish at the table. I ordered a pizza because It had a whole menu page and the server mentioned it so I figured it's a dish they do well. BUZZZZZ! Wrong answer, go to Harris Teeter for pizza (I did after) it is in the same plaza, cheaper and tastes 100% better. The best part of the night was the Root Beer they make in house but I only had one glass because after the servers could see we were bothered they stayed sparse Would not bother with this place try Mission BBQ (same plaza too). read more

I have been to 3 different locations of BJ's Restaurant and all 3 have resulted in different reviews. This past visit to BJs was certainly not one of the best but it is understandable given the size of the restaurant and the amount of people out on a Saturday night. Food was served hot but nothing spectacular. Calamari was slightly undercooked and deep dish pizza was just notches above pizza hut...So why do I keep coming back......the beer is cold and the choices are plentiful.....its a love hate relationship....after a few beers this place kinda grows on you.....the bazoukee is by far the best part of the meal....A1 desserts for sure read more

Pretty cool spot. Nice selection of beer. Make sure to use the app to get the call ahead seating. read more

A perfectly fine choice for a date-- not dazzling but not bad either. The "pizookies" (warm cookies with ice cream) are especially good. I don't usually love cookies-and-cream desserts, but that pizookie was the best-- I'll get it again. Salted caramel was also very good, and Ghirardelli chocolate was good too (we got the $9.99 "pick 3"). As for the rest of the food-- I had the stuffed mushrooms at the recommendations of Yelpers, and was not disappointed, as well as the "twisted BLT salad," which was... a salad... also not disappointing. Husband got a bacon cheeseburger. He commented that it felt like a pre-formed patty and wasn't impressed with that. The thin-cut fries were tasty. Calamari was kind of a disappointment. The quality of the calamari itself was very good (way to go, BJ's), but it was too greasy-- probably the oil wasn't hot enough-- enough that I was blotting pieces on a napkin before I ate them. Could have been the kitchen's mistake and not how they normally do it; if it hadn't been for that, it would have been pretty great, with a nice lemon aioli. Ambience is "brewpub." Overall it's better than some of the other brewpub options in the area. Service was pretty solid. They have a nice discounted movie ticket deal with the local theater. Location is excellent, in terms of PG county; the theater is right there, as is Climbzone (seriously, adults should try that place too-- it's super fun). I'd eat there again, and recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Here from ATL visiting my boyfriend and not only did we go last night (Saturday) to watch my Cardinals beat Green Bay but went back today again. ... Saturday we were greeted immediately upon arrival n the hostess had us a table within a minute, however we chose to sit at the bar instead. Bartender by the name of Eric greeted us as soon as we took a seat.....We chose to take advantage of their happy hour specials and started with a pepperoni flat bread pizza ....delish!! I also had the small spinach salad ...that was tasty. Of course...drinks..both the sangria and the Tickled Pink ...great!! For our meals my bf had the bbq brisket burger and he smashed that ..lol..he loved it. I had the wings and they were good but I've had better...í think this is why í deducted a star . Today ...I wont mention exactly everything we had because well...we pigged out ....but drinks...pizza...bread bowl ...service ...AND dessert...ALL was top notch. Thank u BJs staff. read more

Besides being overwhelmed our waiter was amazing, he kept his cool with my entree changes (i am allergic to many things). He had lots going on and still checked on us periodically. He has made me a repeat customer. read more

Came here for dinner with my family and it's was a great choice. Every dish that came to the table, I tried a little of each. The ribs was moist and tender and comea with two sides. Both my niece and nephew order them with shoe string fries and they enjoyed every bit of them. My husband order the deep dish pizza and he almost finished a medium by himself. I had the cobb salad that was packed with a good heaping size of all the veggies. We also ordered calamari and mozzarella stick for our appetizer. The drinks were specialty with homemade iced teas and lemonade. The service was pretty fast and pleasant. Great solid restaurant that I look forward to visiting again. read more

As soon as you walk in, the aesthetics and smell of the place is great. Naturally you think you're going to have a pleasant experience.... Well, here's the deal.. The beer is cold and good. The food is decent, but over priced. The service is sub-par. Unless you just want a beer that they only have, go somewhere else. I won't be back read more

I've been to this BJs several times over the last year. When we first started going, the food and drinks were really good. The food and the service made you want to come back for more. We even took our kids a few times. Now fast forward to today. The service is ok but I would rather have a server that didn't wipe their nose so much! Every time I looked at our server, he was wiping his nose across his arm. That is nasty and unsanitary! The food was ok but could have been better. read more

If there's a neg. Star , I would give them -100 stars. 2 days ago which was on Jan. 7 , a group of us ( 8 people ) went in to have dinner after work, everything went well.. Then , when we ordered drink and food like normal. We ordered total of 4 steak MEDIUM RARE, they brought out 1 medium and 3 well done, we alerted the waitress, she called the manager. I took her 20 mins to come then told us: " that's how we cook our steak, but if you think they are not , we'll change them " I said : " that's is not what we think, there isn't any pink in the meat so how do you tell me that it's is MEDIUM RARE " then she walked away. She show up with a NASTY ATTITUDE and dressed VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. By the end they over charged us ( we ordered 3 claim chowder, the charged us 4 ) We didn't want to come back because we don't want to see that UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE OF THE MANAGER. We spoke with a few people who work there, they said that she always NASTY with the workers there and customer, she will try to avoid talking or answering to CUSTOMERS. I'm surprised that she's still working there, with that attitude, everyone agreed that she should get fired and promote her to work in the MORGUE where she can be herself, as NASTY as she likes. read more

I came here last night with several friends for some drinks and food and had a great experience! I ordered the Bison Burger with sweet potato fries and a margarita, which was really good and reasonably priced! They also had great desserts! Will definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

Came here with a party of 8 today. Waited less than 10 minutes for a table. India, our server, was AMAZING. She is one of those people who memorizes orders. Everything was perfect! She was attentive to the whole group as well as several other groups. Definitely will come back. read more

Everything on menu is just okay and priced slightly higher than quality of food. I gave this place 4 chances and tried different things on the menu. In comparison, Friday's and Applebee's have better food and better deals. read more

I'm familiar with the Woodland Hills Location in Los Angeles. My favorite dessert is the chocolate chip pizzokie. I visited the new location in Laurel and I had an awesome time. The burger was delish! I tried the salted caramel pizzokie but I didn't like it. Oh service was great! I give this place a 5 star!!! read more

I went to this place on my birthday. It was kind of dark in there for my taste, but I love it anyways. The drinks and beer all were delicious . I got myself the BJ's Classic Rib-Eye it was very tasty and done the way I asked. Along with the order of the Parmesan cheese wings (they were also fantastic!) my night was awesome. read more

I went on a Friday night with two friends and understandably, there was a 40 minute wait. Luckily, the weather was nice that night so we just stepped outside and the time passed quickly. Our server was very nice, though he kept making jokes under his breath to entertain us and expected us to laugh, but we could never quite hear him so it just turned into an awkward 5 seconds of silence each time. I am not sure if it was just a really busy night or if the kitchen isn't well staffed (or both) but it took foreverrrrr for our drinks to come out and then another foreverrrrr for our food to come out. This wasn't much of a problem for us since my friends and I had a lot to catch up on, but it's not the ideal spot if you are in a hurry. I ordered their jalapeño burger which was good (and huge!), but not far as tasty as the description on the menu makes it seem. With all of the new restaurants in the area - there wasn't anything quite memorable about this one that would make me return rather than try out a new place. read more

This Sunday's lunch, I was impressed with the quality of beer and the food they have, it is super excellent, one of the things I really like is the service and friendly atmosphere we experienced at this place. I highly recommend everyone to visit BJ's R&B. More over; I would like to thank the Bartender for her professionalism and dedication to perfection. She indeed made my day, taking care of us at the bar and making the experience very comfortable, encouraging us to comeback without a doubt. By the way, her name is Carolina and I am sure she will be the best Bartender for you on weekends. read more

For the price point, portions, atmosphere and drinks, I give BJ's four stars. We had a great time at happy hour, ordering lots of apps. I was in a reasonable group (6) but the bar area was cramped for a party that size. We got Santa Fe spring rolls which were beyond amazing, and we also got the spinach and artichoke dip - also fabulous! I ordered a basil and watermelon margarita, and it might just be my new favorite drink. Initially, the service wasn't great (so the initial arrivals from our party informed those of us who came later) we got a much better server. Carolina took exceptional care of us and was funny to boot. We had a great time meeting here for HH and I hope we do it again soon! read more

I have been here only once, and I plan to go back so I will probably update this review. One of my best friend's and I went here post-workout, so we were looking for some healthier options. I ordered the watermelon salad which was delish! The feta cheese and watermelon worked amazingly together. Next, we split the pork chops entree. I was great, and I would order this again. My only complaint was the Brussel sprouts which were brutally roasted. No dessert this this! read more

UPDATE** they just changed the happy hour 2 days ago. The happy hour specials are terrible now. They went from the best possible happy hour to the below mediocre. The food is still good but what a major disappointment! New happy hour is 1/2 off mini deep dish pizza, $1 off draft beer/wine, and $2 off shareable appetizers. COMPLETE disappointment. My fiancé and I will be finding a new happy hour location. We are thoroughly annoyed. BJ's, shame on you. This was "our spot" where we loved coming after a hard day of work. Bring back $4 you-call-its. I guess it's time to find a new happy hour location. *** OLD REVIEW: Best happy hour specials in Laurel, hands down. My fiancé and I go here almost once a week. They have an incredible personal deep dish pizza, wings, and all your favorite foods. Drinks are made right and the food has never let us down. One of the absolute best parts of BJs is the selection of beers on tap. We usually go around 4:30 on weekdays. The bar is usually pretty quiet so we sit right up and unwind after a hard day of work. The bartenders are great and friendly as well. I look forward to my visits here. TIP: On Sundays when the NFL is on, it's often hard to find a seat unless you get there early because. read more

The food here is always good. But the customer service is lacking. Our waitresses acted as though she wanted to be anywhere but here. She rudely dumped our plates on the table. Never checked in on us while happily talking to other patrons. And just really came of as rude and inconsiderate. This has been pretty consistent with our experience. Last time we came our waitress disappeared for over twenty minutes in the back and another waitress named Daniele had to get us water and help us. All in all new servers need to be hired. Edited**** We actually talked to the Manager and she let us know this was her best server. And the servers attitude went down hill after she found out we asked to talk to a manager. She didn't look at us just rudely placed the check down and haughtily walked away. The same when she picked up the check. We won't ever be returning. If you're having a bad day and work in the front lines with customers. Call out don't come in. Don't ruin others experiences by not even pretending to be friendly. read more

Stopped in for a couple of beers before heading to the cinema. Only had beer, no food. Beer: 2 stars. Not undrinkable, but nothing close to being on par with any other craft beer out there. Tastes like it's brewed by AB or Miller. Service (Bar): 2 stars. Indifferent, but not awful. It wasn't busy, but bartenders seemed like they thought they had better things to do then attend to their customers. The only reason I would be back would be to grab a beer before another movie, and then only because there are no other options in this plaza. read more

We've always been a fan of BJ's ribs because they are simply amazing! But this location definitely left something to be desired. It was a combination of either under done or over boiled. The ribs were not tender AT ALL!! The mashed potatoes were luke warm and the asparagus was drenched in butted. When it came out it looked beautiful; but this was one time where looks were deceiving. The service was great; but I wouldn't recommend the ribs at this location to anyone. Stick with pizza here! read more

The crafted brews are REALLY good! I tried one called.Black Velvet, which was a mixture of BJ PM Porter and BJ Berry Burst Cider. Outstanding! And their New Orleans Jumbalaya was out of the world. For desserts, I recommend one of their Pizookies. It's an oven baked cookie topped off with ice cream. Eat, drink and enjoy! read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Good times in Laurel! - New American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Ive been to this restaurant twice now. I wasn't all that impress the first time but decided to give it another try. Big mistake! After we were seated it took the waitress 15 mins to come to the table. She asked what we wanted to drink and if wanted an appetizer. We ordered Mozzarella sticks. The drinks came out right away. Mozzarella sticks came out 15 mins later by another waitress. Some time goes by. The waitress didn't ask us if the mozzarella sticks came out ok. Thanks goodness they tasted good! We finished our appetizer and waited 20 mins after we were done before she came back to ask us what we wanted as our main course. She just kept walking by us... didn't say a word. I literally had gotten up to go complain to the manager and the waitress came running over apologizing. We ordered our food . It came out at a decent time. How ever my fish tacos were awful. My fish was over cooked and chewy. I couldn't eat it. The tortilla was like rubber. They didnt give me the sauces that came with the fish tacos. I was just fed up! I wont be back! read more

They have never gotten my burger right. I'll never go here again! They don't know what a medium burger is, all their burgers are tough and burned with no seasoning. They put every topping that I said I didn't want, on the burger, same with someone else in my party. There was some unknown object in my mayonnaise, the fries were completely COLD and the calamari was soggy and tasteless. Did I mention nothing was edible and the manager didn't even comp the meal? We waited an hour for food that they messed up twice and gave up and returned the terrible food. Only to get one or two items taken off and another one added to the bill when the manager offered it as a substitute. Umm why offer it if you're charging for it? This is the worst restaurant in laurel. Can't even make a simple burger. And for some reason they hire 10 women to stand at the hostess stand and socialize. read more

It's usually good if you dine in person. But to-go orders are another issue. They usually say 30 minutes to get it prepared when you order through their app. Pack your patience. Last night I waited 45 minutes longer than the "ready" time. That's an hour and fifteen minutes after ordering, and I waited in the to-go area for 45 minutes. In case you think my order was complex, it was two burgers and the avocado egg roll appetizer. Honestly, I often wonder if they even start the to go orders until you get there or maybe once you start complaining. It's probably not worth ordering out from here anymore. The food is good, but the frustration over getting the order filled isn't worth it with the other options nearby. read more

Didn't have a really good time at this place I'm not sure if it was the food or the service But I can't give my seal of approval

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon with our baby in stroller and the hostess took forever to sit us down because she said our stroller will block the pathways and I understand that. The second part of the restaurant was completely empty and had ADA access tables which she was unwilling to sit us in. Anyway after an uphill battle she finally agreed to sit us down. Then after getting seated we waited forever for a server to come and take our order. My husband got up to talk to a server and let him know we ve been waiting for a while and soon as my husband walked away, the server started complaining to his workers "they just sat down and are being impatient " Bottom line , i cant imagine why such a huge restaurant was being so stroller unfriendly and giving us the worst customer service! We just got the pizookie which did taste good. However i was really mad about the horrible customer service read more

I have to admit service started off rocky but Ariana saved the day. She was absolutely wonderful. I ordered the fish and chips which was recommended hubby ordered buffalo grilled cheese sandwich with the root beer wings. Everything was so tasty. Ariana stay sweet read more

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. The place is huge and beautiful inside. It is always clean including the restrooms and every employee we have ever had is always very friendly. After 10+ visits, we have not had any issues with our food no matter how busy they seem to be. They have several gluten free sensitive options including a bun to enjoy their yummy burgers or sandwiches, gluten free pizza, gluten free warm Pizookie desserts and other GF entrees. They are doing a great job here and pricing is very reasonable. read more

I've eaten here on 3 occasions. I can't recommend the food. I think I've only been here more than once because it's convenient and I think I wanted to believe I just got unlucky once, or twice. But after eating there and NOT having a drink. I realized this place sucks. No alcohol to trick me into thinking it was mediocre. The food is boring and bland. I should have known when I was handed a menu that looked more like a college text book that this wasn't going to be a good look. Too many food options means a restaurant likely doesn't have anything all that great. Trying to be too many things to too many people is hard to pull off. Cheesecake factory manages to pull it off, but this place. Nope! And it's not all in my head, I've eaten here with others who reported the same thing. Bland. Boring. Unmemorable. Overwhelming menu selection, underwhelming taste. I've done the Salmon - Bland, not horrible. Just mediocre. I've done the fish and chips - I hate string fries for one. And fish was bland and mediocre bordering on nasty. My date had some sort of pasta. Shrimp and linguine. She complained that the shrimp was still opaque/undercooked. She then complained the food was also down right bland (you see a theme here). The saving grace was the garlic cheese bread that came with it. Mind you this women eats any and everything. I have never seen her turn down food. And she's definitely not picky so hearing her say this place sucked is saying something.. read more
