    Chips and salsa, served late, warm, and messy
    Harlan Z.

    We've been here many times in the past and, though we enjoy the lunch specials, the service is often slow, the staffing inadequate, and the overall organization lacking. Today was the same experience as some earlier disappointments, with the added fact that pretty much all of the baseline hallmarks of a good restaurant experience were missed from the very minute we walked in the door. The greeter at the entrance never said a word to us, never welcomed us, never asked how many were in our party, never even made eye contact - just grabbed two menus and walked away, assuming we would follow her. Once seated, our waitperson came by and took our orders, came back with the waters, and then disappeared for 15 minutes - no water refills, no sign of the chips and salsa appetizer we ordered, nothing. Finally, the soups arrived, delivered by a fellow who clearly wasn't familiar with waiting tables as he simply dropped off the bowls and took off - no crackers, no water refills, no asking if we needed anything. I finally hailed our waitperson for crackers and water, which took five minutes more to arrive. While the water was being poured, the guy who brought the soups finally brought the chips and salsa on a hot aluminum pan, along with the salads in bowls - everything all at once. The food itself was ok - the chili was tasty if a bit thin, the salsa standard grade, the chips (served warm) ok, the salads actually pretty good - but between the no-greeting greeter, the not-much-service server, and the appetizer that arrived 20 minutes late, it wasn't a good experience. Oh, and the two pizouki deserts that were part of the lunch deal were served by a *third* server. Just strange. Whether it was a particularly off day or they were way understaffed or the greeter is just not into actually greeting people or everyone who works here just really doesn't care all that much, I don't know. But what I do know is that I'm not likely to return anytime soon.

    Smokehouse burger
    Daniel P.

    Smokehouse burger was good, dripping grease though, so maybe rest the burger before slopping it on the bun. Kids were happy with the kids menu, the fresh fruit was done nice on their orders.

    The burned brussel sprouts.
    Giovanna F.

    You'll be paying $$$ for less than mediocre food. One time the boneless wings came out dry and barely chewable. The server was nice enough to take it off a bill. This last time, the food took forever to come out and then the brussel sprouts came out burned. I like them charred but they were black through and through (see photo). I didn't even bother sending them back. Couldn't taste the "honey sriracha" at all. The servers were great both times we ate here. No fault goes to them. This rating is solely based on the food quality. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

    My daughter took me to this restaurant on a Friday night and my grandson joined us. We got to a booth w/n 5 minutes although the restaurant was crowded. Service-the server knew the menu like the back of her hand! My daughter & I had a chicken pizza sandwich with fries (pictured) along with a cream soda. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was comfortable and I felt safe there eating my food-which was felt![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and laughter was in the air![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I look forward to going to BJ's Restaurant again soon!

    Mozzarella sticks, missing a few of them!
    Ciera B.

    My friend and I came here today after the Tacoma Holiday Festival. We got the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and even though they might seem expensive they give you about 9-12 of them. Super delicious. She got the smokehouse burger and it was big, hot and had lots of crispy onions. I got the BJs kicking chicken sandwich. It was so great! Hot, the slaw and spicy sauce were wonderful. We got two non alcoholic drinks, she got the strawberry dream and I got this boba mango spritzer. The service was fast and plenty of seating. We got in right away as we sat in the bar area. Definitely will be back.

    Good service is hard to come by anymore. But Jade, our server, did not miss a beat! We were a party of three that she managed alongside a party of about 15, in addition to a couple other tables. Typically when we encounter a server at any restaurant that has a big party we tend to feel forgotten. Not Jade, she was super attentive. We never had to hunt her down for anything and she promptly took care of us at every stage. In addition, our food came out super fast. We will be back to see Jade again. Thank you so much!!!

    Food was amazing, super cool beer menu as well. Staff was super friendly and prompt in serving us. Would definitely come back.

    Stopped in after a track meet The place was not to busy But the wait time was around 25 mins I got me a Philly cheesesteak with fries a Watermelon Mojito . The food got to me and it was just warm. It was an ok tasting sandwich I got some reason would like a cheesery what sauce on my Philly .other wise it make it seem clumpy. The Mojito is good but a little light on alcohol especially at that price.

    If you are looking to watch a sports event then don't go here. The manager wouldn't allow the sound on for the USA World Cup game.

Without a doubt this is one of Tacoma's best dining experiences. Chef Shawn's team is small but mighty. The staff that we encountered were all super kind and attentive. It's widely known that Chef Shawn has a radiant personality and treats everybody in his restaurant like a longtime friend. He walked around chatting with everybody personally, showed off dishes as he walked through the restaurant, and was even happy to let diners take a peek at his kitchen (how does he make all this magic happen on TWO CAMP STOVES?!) The menu isn't massive, but everything on the menu is executed with precision and grace. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted but I've had my eyes on the Lobster Bomb for years. My husband got the "Tiny Burrito" which is quite literally the size of a newborn. The Lobster Bomb was excellent. Generous chunks of succulent lobster and the hollandaise was perfect! Subtle on the lemon flavor as to not overpower, but still rich and creamy. I tried my husband's burrito and the chorizo gravy is stellar. You could easily share this with 1-2 other people in my opinion. It lasted my husband two leftover meals! The restaurant itself is small but it's cozy and feels like you're at home. No frills, nothing over the top, nothing trendy. Just a relaxed vibe with lots of authentic touches from Chef Shawn. While this was our first visit it definitely won't be our last. Don't make the mistake I did and let years pass by before you experience Tibbitts!

On the day of our reservation I received a call from a very friendly staff member Jace (forgive my spelling if it's incorrect) who confirmed our reservation and also asked if we had kids in our party because of the age restriction for the outside seating. I thought that was very considerate of him to do so as he was being proactive and courteous at the same time!

We then were presented with our hardworking and endearing Server Kat who was so patient with all of us, was proactive in setting up plates for our Birthday cake (we had brought with us - as we were granted with permission by the restaurant). Throughout our experience, Kat took care of our needs, fulfilled our delicious food orders with accuracy, and the other hardworking Server Ethan also ensured our drinks were filled.
