I have to stress I've never come here for anything other than their Happy Hour which is an excellent value with deals on wine, beer, and custom call drinks and a decent food variety. The pizza specials on Monday are a great deal. They have other daily specials. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar has three large screens but surprisingly the resolution is terrible, especially the center large projection screen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's as if they have a cheapo TV service or are using equipment that hasn't been replaced since the place was built. The photo of the TV screen isn't blurry, it's the screen. Most all major sport events these days are broadcast in HighDef. I'm an A/V Enthusiast and can say 100% for sure their equipment or subscription doesn't support it. The bar and dining room are very large but this place is popular so prime dinner hour for example almost always has a decent wait of 15 minutes, and commonly over a half hour on weekend nights. If the bar food is any indication of the main menu (which I only had a caesar salad from which was mediocre), then I'd say the food is about what you would expect: decent American chain sit-down restaurant food, not terrible, not gourmet. Service is decent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is airy and somewhat loud, but what is odd is the side of the building that has a view of the mountains is mainly taken up by the entry and waiting area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are typical, no bargain but not a complete rip off. 4 solid stars for Happy Hour. Regular dining the rating may be a bit lower considering the lesser value. read more

My first visit here though my wife and did frequent several on California. Similar vibe for a good brewery/restaurant and sports bar. Good selection of beers and food. Quick service even for our group of eight on Sunday. You might want to call ahead on weekends. Portions were large enough so that some of us took leftovers home. read more

BJ's never disappoints. There are many food items to choose from and the service is always great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love sitting in the bar section and luckily we were able to get a booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, served with Black Beans and Chips and the Tacos had this really tasty Coleslaw. My husband's plate came with a mini Pizookie, so we shared it. It's served warm with Ice Cream. It was good, although way too sweet for me. By the way, our Server Jessie was awesome. read more

Company's coming and I wanted to have a nice meal here for when they get here from a long drive from Southern CA. BJs came through with a meal deal with pizza, garlic knots, fettuccine Alfredo, and a caesar salad. The all meat pizza was delicious and I enjoyed the crust. Had to sneak bite since I still have a few hours before their arrival. Ordered delivery vs sit down this time around, but we always have a fun time at BJs.

Burger night is the way to go especially with the Smashburger as you get extra meat so that's my favorite and with the guacamole appetizer you can spread onto the burger so you don't have to do it separately Anthony was our waiter again. He originally worked in Las Vegas, very attentive and conversational I appreciate also the manager made good on my wife's order to fix the cheese which she wanted cheddar instead of American. We got pepper jack instead. read more

We stopped by BJ's for lunch after hearing about the Monday-Friday Pizookie meal deal, and it did not disappoint. For $13 each, my wife ordered a mini pizza with a wedge salad and the cookies & cream Pizookie, while I went with the American Smash Burger, fries, and the chocolate chunk Pizookie. Everything was great, portions were generous, and we left very full and happy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend--we'll be back. read more

BJs is a typical chain where you can get some good items. One of my favorite drinks is here called the pink Cadillac but more recently I got a holiday drink with a little melting snowman marshmallow in it and it was yummy! I also tried their gluten free hamburger. The bun was good. Burger was a bit overcooked and next time I need extra cheese. The white cheddar mashed potatoes (GF) were DELICIOUS. My favorite thing to eat here used to be the enlightened chicken tacos on little pitas, but now my unfortunate gluten intolerance missed that. They have a dedicated gluten free menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The middle tv at the bar is the biggest but a little blurry so that was the loss of a star.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Let's just start off by saying Saint Anthony is one of the best absolute best waiters. We sat in the bar area for happy hour. We've had him before. He is always super friendly, super courteous, super helpful. Anything to please the customer which is the way it should be. There was a little snafu on my order which he told the manager, and the manager corrected it immediately, which I was very pleased about without even hesitation. I appreciate that about BJ's and they have a friendly staff. The food was tasty. We came for burger night, and it never disappoints. read more

Lunch was great, other than the moody hostess at the front, who sat us. Our waitress was excellent and the food came out very hot, well seasoned, and good sized portions. Although BJ'S isn't exactly my favorite lunch spot anymore, it is still nice to come back to when there's a craving for a Pizookie. So, it is nice that they have the $13 pizookie meal deal. I tried the chicken bacon ranch piadina and it was good, but super messy. The fries were incredibly perfect, but the ranch needs work. I tried the strawberry shortcake pizookie and honestly thought it was going to be way too sugary, but it was just enough and ended a craving for something sweet with strawberries in it. Overall, I'll be happy to return again sometime in the future. Hopefully, new items will make it to the $13 meal deal menu. read more

Been going here for years and the south Virginia is our favorite location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always clean and the staff has Always been so nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its a big place and I love the wall of beer names.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a good selection of beer. Something for everyone. They also make their own root beer too. They have a big menu with out it being too overwhelming. Everything from salad to pizza to burgers to comfort food. They have gotten rid of some of my favorites over the years like potato skins and more , sad but I guess they had to make room for other things. The food isn't anything too special and run home and tell your family about but it is their food is good and we've never had a problem. Except for the ranch..it seemed watered down which never used to be like that.. They have $13 lunch specials which is what we got today. It comes with your entree and a small pizookie. I got a smash bacon and cheddar burger and my pizookie was the oreo and cream.. my fiancee got the chicken Bacon ranch piadina..its like a quesadilla..and the strawberry shortcake pizookie.. A good place for some pretty good food especially for lunch. read more

Overall, consistency is my issue here. Every time we visit there's always something that not quite right. Last time our pizza did not have the sauce drizzle, today both of our hard root beers were short poured. read more

Updating this review! Everything was resolved above and beyond. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me.

After 30 minutes, my burger finally arrived...with old fries that have been sitting under the lamp for way too long. At least the manager comped my burger, gave us free dessert, and is sending me a gift card. So there was a bit of redemption. The really sad thing is that the front of house is only half full. read more

We had dinner here the other night. I've been to BJ's before but not this location. As we were walking in I noticed a lot of people going in. But we were seated right away. They had televisions on most of the walls. Not all tv''s have sports on which was nice to be able to watch something else. I ordered a beer and Chinese chicken salad. My hubby had iced tea, clam chowder and pizza with thin crust. It all came out quickly. Everything was very good. Our waiter was nice and attentive. Love this place!! read more

4 for dinner. Had reservation. Waited five minutes to be seated. Prompt service. However, specialty drinks, although good, were not served together with last one 10 minutes late. Server blamed the bartender. Seemed petty. Appetizer and meals were very good although again meals not served together.

The food was fine. Not great not awful. Waitress needs to learn her job a little better. She told me they don't have any low-fat dressings, but you can see oil and vinegar and balsamic on their website. Chicken on the salad semi bland, but I guess expected for local. My husband got a chicken sandwich and mashed potatoes and he said there was way too much flavor going on in the mashed potatoes mashed potatoes. Just need to keep it simple. read more

Giving the South Reno location a chance after a bad experience at the Sparks location. To start off, our server was great but both of the hostesses were not friendly in any way, and they were borderline just rude. I may just be used to how friendly everyone is in at the smaller local businesses, but it's just not acceptable to be all grouchy to your customers. There is just so many local options around, so the sheer amount of money the bill is, for food that isn't great just doesn't check the boxes for me. We were super stoked as we started this meal, drinks were good, service was solid at the table and we were set and ready. the food did come decently quick, but when it came, the fried chicken and the wings were a mixture of burnt and/or just unclean old oil. As you can see in the pictures. The table next to us actually was so upset about the burnt onion rings that they sent them back, but to be fair theirs looked worse then out stuff. The fries we got were solid, even the pickles, but the chicken was a big miss. I will give it to them, the kids pizza was solid, the salad was nice and fresh and crisp, and the non fried stuff was nice as tasty. But come on frying stuff is the easiest part. Clean oil, and not too much bathing time. Easy peasy. read more

I didn't think my experience could get worse from the last time I was in... but BJ's managed to pull it off. We arrived at 5:30 PM. The hostess told us there was a 10-minute wait. 5:45 PM rolls around. The hostess tells us it will be another 15 minutes because she doesn't have a server available until 6 PM. But why did you tell us a 10-minute wait? We waited another 5 minutes past 6 PM before finally being seated. A 10-minute wait turned into 35 minutes. Not a great start, and the same issue I had last time when visiting. I did speak to the manager before being seated and expressed my frustration about the inaccuracy of the wait times. To be transparent in this review, she did end up comping a single appetizer as compensation for the awful wait. That's good, I guess. Then came the food and drinks. Ordered iced teas and a beer. The new Co-Hoperation beer was completely flat. No bubbles whatsoever. I asked for a new beer, and the second one, Pirahna Pale Ale, was better. The server then informed us they were out of lemons for the iced tea... what? How can a massive restaurant like BJ's be out of lemons? My dad tried to order the salmon. They were also out of salmon. This is a joke, right? Then came the appetizer. Ahi Tuna Poke. The avocado was not fresh. It was browning severely. At least it was comped... Then the entrees. Mostly everything was ok. Nothing was great, but nothing was terrible, until my dad bit into an onion ring and the literal grocery store produce sticker was still on the onion. He informed the server, and she responded with a confused "OK". It's not the food experience that has been the downfall when I go to BJ's, though this visit wasn't the best. But between the poor wait time accuracy and the brutal inconsistencies, I think I will have to stop visiting this BJ's location. What a shame... I've noticed the overall rating for this location has dropped significantly over the years. It's not a surprise to me at all. I hope management will step in and turn things around. Until then, goodbye, BJ's. read more

My first and last time to this location. BJs is usually a safe bet, but not this time. The wait staff were very rushed and we felt like an inconvenience. My burger was very greasy and I received what looked like a half order of sweet potato fries. The fries were all small broken pieces. It definitely looked like the end of the bag. I would have been much happier if they had just apologized that they were out. Not worth the time or money. Bad night? Maybe, but they failed across the board. read more

I feel like the food is always good here but the ambiance is hit or miss depending on the day. You need to make a reservation on the weekend, but are typically safe in a weekday. My moto is to always check before arriving. Our service this time around was pretty slow and we did have to flag down our waitress a few times. We were offered dessert and just given the check, which was fine but not the usual. read more

We had an amazing experience at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse! Our waitress, Grace, was top-notch -- funny, professional, and extremely attentive. We were a group of 12 adults, and she managed our six separate checks like a total pro. Everything was smooth and hassle-free. I ordered the fish and chips, and it did not disappoint -- delicious and perfectly cooked. Between the great food, excellent service, and fun atmosphere, BJ's has definitely earned a spot as my new regular go-to. Highly recommend, especially if you're coming with a larger group. Ask for Grace if you can -- she'll take great care of you! read more

Bumping up the BJ's ratings to five now because the focus on customer service and the incredible regard they have for their guest satisfaction is just over the top and so appreciated. We came in on a Friday evening around 5:15. We jumped on the waitlist via Yelp ahead of time and then proceeded to realize it was still happy hour when we got there so I headed to the bar to order some drinks and an appetizer while we waited for our table The mule and the Kentucky Mule were fine. The chips and salsa were plentiful and a great way to start off our night, but it was the conversation with the bartender. I think her name was Madie that made it that much better. I've been scoping out bar tables while I waited for our food and drinks at the bar and saw one that I was gonna snatch, but had to grab my family first when she saw that the table had been taken and we couldn't sit there to continue enjoying happy hour she said hey I hope you know that because you're with your family, the restaurants are always happy to extend happy hour pricing to the tables. Just let your server know. This is such a pro tip because the kids wanted to enjoy the mini pizzas and we thought about having another drink so when we did get seated, we spoke to the server and she's like oh yes, of course we can definitely do that. Just check the bill at the end in case there's any errors and I'll make sure it's corrected. We ordered our food. Everyone enjoyed our server was present and attentive, and just lovely and we were able to get them those pizzas at a table as well. Seriously, BJ's keep it up! read more

The service was slow early last night with half of the restaurant filled. It wasn't the server but something happened in the kitchen. No reason for it to take 45 minutes for a 6 inch pizza, wings and kids hamburgers to be prepared. It was so long the manager came over and apologized. And then another 30 minutes for two pazookies and scoop of chocolate ice cream. Not acceptable. I will have to think twice before going again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But place filled up when we left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ruined a special occassion.

I am in awww of the great customer service we were given with our to go order last night and want to thank Yun Cha for taking care of our problem above and beyond. Our order was not made right so we sent it back to be redone before we left with it to go home. Unfortunately when we got it home it was done wrong again. I called to complain thinking there was nothing they could do. After explaining our situation this lovely person took it upon himself to hand deliver another order himself. Customer service can be non existent sometimes and this blew my mind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We live across town and it was a Friday night and I know the place was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just a huge thank you and we will keep coming! read more

Dylan, our bartender from Mississippi, absolutely made our experience at BJ's Restaurant! From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, personable, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to walk us through the menu, answer all of our questions, and even went the extra mile by helping me calculate the calories in my drink. His energy, sense of humor, and genuine hospitality made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. My boyfriend and I had such a great time sitting at the bar and chatting with him. It's rare to find someone who makes you feel so valued as a guest. We will definitely be back, and honestly, I'd come back just to sit at the bar and hang out with Dylan again! read more

We had not been to BJs in quite awhile but I wanted deep dish pizza. When it arrived it is not pizza at all but bread, no flavor, very little topping, disgusting.

Quick lunch with my daughter, no reservations but got right in and seated. Our waiter was prompt giving us time to order. We shared chips with salsa and guacamole. Very fresh with crunchy chips. We both ordered the wedge salad with tortilla soup for a lighter lunch choice. Very good, not too much. Variety of options to choose from sorry they don't have lunch specials on the weekend. A bit pricey for what we got with two diet cokes and tip $50! Definitely a treat to eat here but decent. read more
