Recently went there very disappointed in the treatment we got. My husband ordered a martini "dirty" as he always gets them we waited and waited were given every excuse from the order printer not working between the bar and the wait staff input machine on finally AFTER our meal was finished including appetizers in which my husband did not even have a water much less his cocktail I requested a manager who then gave us the excuse they were out of olives and olive juice for a dirty martini . They are in the same parking lot as a Target with a grocery store and mgmt looked shocked when I stated that mgmt could not walk their butts over to Target and buy olives??They never came back to give us the option of ordering a different beverage or cocktail they just have different excuses of saying it's coming its almost ready etc etc . I am amazed at the lack of self reliance a management team has when it comes to simple fixes it's like how dare they have to actually trouble shoot or go to a grocers located in the same parking lot with 10 bucks of petty cash . I'm just baffled at the fact a customer had yo suggest this considering the manager said they had been without olives for more than 2 weeks !! I mean REALLY this is pure laziness I can't imagine the salary a manager gets paid to just stand there and watch staff struggle not having basic supplies to fill an order it should NOT take a customer to bring it to their attention they are located next to a grocers duh! The manager said wide eyed ya know I don't know why that hasn't been done guess I will stop by there on my way to work tomorrow I'm like it's a 2 min walk out your front door yet you want to wait until tomorrow??? What's wrong with sending a runner with petty cash right now?? I got no response about that suggestion . What happened to making sure your staff has everything they need yo be successful??? Epic Fail that night and btw they changed their menu removing several and I mean SEVERAL items that as far as I ever saw were consistent sellers. I now see another restaurant trying to cut corners and their business will suffer from it as their customer experience already has! read more

My girlfriend had the turkey burger, and I had shrimp scampi. Neither of our meals were hot, my scampi turned out pretty bland, and she had to send her burger back since it was just the patty and bread and was missing the veggies. While better, it still was missing lettuce, so she had to ask for it on the side. By this point, we both had lost our appetite. Can't at all complain about the service; the waitress did everything right. However the kitchen was severely lacking. read more

I love the food and the atmosphere the waiter was nice and I'll go back most definitely. :)

How do you lose a customer's debit card???? And then after management gets involved its found later in the kitchen?? The manager even said he could not explain how it ended up there!!! Beyond unacceptable!! read more

The food was decent for a chain restaurant, but the cleanliness of the restaurant leaves something to be desired. Hanging above our booth on the wall is a framed print that appears to have gotten wet and molded behind the glass of the frame. This is disgusting and should certainly have been taken care of before a customer noticed it. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - This is the molded picture hanging on the wall above our table. Disgusting! - American Near Me - Temple, Texas

I've been to several BJ's and this is one of the bottom rated. Maybe its because I come at the "off hours" in the afternoon. Wait staff is pretty good but the afternoon cooks seem to be off more often than not. The food is often over cooked. Today was not a good experience. Today I first ordered lemon peppered bone in wings and caeser side salad. After about 15 minutes I was told they were out of any bone in wings. So I reordered for fish and chips. After about another 20 minutes these were brought out and were more plastic than cooked fish. Way over done and lots of breading. One of the managers delivered it. After complaining and sending them back another manager said they cut off the waitress that was explaining when they saw the meal. I reordered a flat bread pizza appetizer. They finally turned out close to right when it came out. I have been here several times in the mid afternoon and it seems the afternoon cooks need a bit more training. read more

It's a 3-4 Star place, big menu and pizza's are good. Really busy so it's hoping. We are 15-20 minutes away so we don't frequent here because of this reason. But we have been several times. It's a descent restaurant. read more

We used to make special trips just to eat there - especially for the ahi poke tuna and deep dish pizzas. But the past few years the quality and preparation has drastically spiraled. Last time we were there, we spent almost $80 and ate hardly any of the dishes. The tuna was older with silver skin, the pizza was blah, the speghetti n meatballs was yuck, etc. We drive all the way to Austin now read more

Although this has was not my first time to BJ'S it is by far my worst experience. My first drink I received they made it a virgin because it taste like there was no alcohol in it. Then I ordered the brisket bacon burger which not only smashed but also completely over cooked, I ordered med but received well done, this was the first time. The second time it was still over cooked but hey it was at least MID WELL...LMAO. I think next time I would just ask to cook it myself. The service was what I would expect from most chain restaurants but BJ'S always seemed to stand out, guess they gave up or maybe they didn't expect a tip since I was with my family. I am complete disappointed in them. Don't know if I will ever be back...well at least not to the one in Temple,TX. read more

We eat at BJ's pretty often. Stopped at this location on the way home so we could meet up with family living near here. The food was definitely not the best we have had. My shrimp scampi had so much oil in it I could have filled half a glass. The quinoa bowl was 95% rice. The pizzas were not fully cooked (doughy on bottom). Chicken on the salad was cold and the coffee was not good. The burger was below average. The kids burgers meat was half the size of the bun. Also, the gluten free pizza may have been cross contaminated with gluten (had symptoms of gluten consumption after eating). Our waitress was really nice (only reason for the 2). read more

Let me tell you....we just happened to walk in this BJs while driving thru. And well and be hold, we came across some pretty good, satisfying food!!! I'll say, as we were enjoying a glass of wine...we came across some tempting off the menu specials our sweet waitress named Courtney advised us. THE 'NEW' SOUTHERN COMFORT CHICKEN SANDWICH was VERRRRRY tasty!!! It satisfied my taste buds!!! :)))))) Coming out soon!! A MUST TRY!!! Let the pic say speak for itself!! read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - American Near Me - Temple, Texas

We go there at lease once a week, great food, a little pricey but for the amount of food you get it's worth it. Also must have the pazookie with ice cream. It's the greatest. People are always great. read more

There twice over the weekend. Steaks were over cooked and potatoes were cold. Service was good.

Only went there once and never went back.The food was not good and the host not friendly and slow.Hopefully it has improved

as someone who works in a kitchen and has been raised by chefs our service was BAD our sever didnt show up untill 20 minutes after we were sat and once he showed up he proceeded to tell us he was in the bathroom the whole and once we got our food fries were old and cold and we requested new fries and didnt get them untill we were finished with out meal we will not be returning very disappointed read more

It is definitely my number 1 place to go, atmosphere is great and quiet to go and enjoy of some amazing food with your family or friends. Price is great for their service and quality of food. Go check it out and enjoy! read more

we had grilled salmon and tri-tip, ribs and a side of scampi. oh, and the avocado egg rolls, oopsy, can't forget the margaritas. everything was cooked to perfection. flavor was great. Service by Eleazar was EXCELLENT. Very pleasant, personsble and helpful with good suggestions. We will be back to Temple Location!! read more

I love this place, great beer selection, great wine selection and very good food. Service is always top notch. BJ's needs to come to Beaumont. read more

OMG! Tonight is the first time trying their ribs! They were absolutely delicious. I normally get the sliders and fries but my husband surprised me with dinner and got something different. Whenever I want ribs....this is where I will be going!!! Compliments to the chef!!!! read more

People and food has been hit and miss as far as service . But Melinda Hite is an amazing employee and always takes care of her customers if your Not happy with something she will fix the problem . She is a real asset read more

Sad to say, the quality of the food has really gone downhill in the last year. (Greasy, wrong orders, soggy sandwichs, wrong temperature). Maybe change in management? I know I never see the original manager checking on customers anymore. I belong to a fairly large meetup group and we go out to eat once a month. To date, we have always gone to BJ'S. However, due to hour long waits for seating, and being told they no longer book reservations for groups, and the food being hit and miss, we will not be going back. Staff and servers are usually polite but seem overwhelmed at times. Also decor needs help. We brought to one servers attention, since he couldn't find the Mgr, that a picture on the wall over our table was covered in mold or mildew under the glass. Last month, it is still there. Until they improve, it's not worth the price. read more

Great Thursday night experience for this old couple.!! Tonight's special was ribs (great price). We enjoyed a house margarita. And then, pazookies were part of the meal tonight. Oh my, nice surprise, but we were so full. They brought out our pazookies as to-go. Ray is GREAT. read more

One of my top 2 favorite places to eat in Temple if not eating mexican food. Service for me has always been excellent, Lindsay was not only excellent, but very easy on my eyes! food came out fast & as always the quality was outstanding, portions are huge! finding your way to their parking lot can be an adventure when your just passing through! read more

I'll start with the actual layout. It is nicely set. My waitress was really nice; though we were done almost with our whole meal before she came by to pick up plates (at least that's what other places do). The price for the food is too much. I had 2 appetizers, a bar drink, and 3 kids menu items along with the kids cookie desert and ended up paying over 60 dollars. This is high for me when I've paid that or less and fed more people. The food was not the best I've tasted, but maybe that's my Hispanic taste buds speaking. read more

BJ's is now the place to meet the pals in Temple as there is not much to choose from otherwise. They have a good selection of their own brewery beer. The food on the otherhand is just okay. The have a rather large menu of burgers, pizzas, pastas, etc that is on par with your typical franchise fare. The dessert called the pie-zookie is a must try in any of the varieties they offer - chocolate chip, white choco macadamia, double choco or Oreo! read more

Super disappointed. My husband and I went to a BJ's in san antonio and were in love with it, and when we found out there was one close to fort hood we were excited to go! We ordered the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps, okay, kind of boring. The Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Salad was god awful. Rubbery mozzarella balls and tasteless tomatoes. I was hoping for smooth creamy mozzarella with yummy tomatoes like the one in San Antonio, but nope. Also, the balsamic reduction was wayyyy too thick. It stuck to the plate like glue, so I couldn't enjoy it. I ordered the Chicken Al La Fresca (the under 575 calories entree) and I was so disappointed. Chicken was flavorless, rice pilaf was so bland it tasted like plain white rice, and there was no arugula on mine, they put spinach on it instead. I didn't even eat it. My husband ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. That was the one good thing out of everything. The manager came to talk to us and I expressed my disappointment. He asked if I wanted anything, I said no. Why would I want more gross food? I asked him to take it away. No refund, just a deal with it attitude. Will never be going here again. Ever. read more

Enjoyed a lunch date with the wife. The ambiance of the dimly lit garage style restaurant oozes character and industrial vibes. I was immediately reminded of the facade of the whole foods at the domain in Austin. We ordered unsweet iced tea which seems to be brewed in house by an artisanal teamaster. The natural flavors of the tea were phenomenal, the nose was out of this world, I half expected to see a member of the Lipton family lurking in the kitchen. As we perused the expansive menu, I admit we were a bit overwhelmed. How can one kitchen provide 20+ pages of mouthwatering choices. Have they leased the building next door and are operating out of two kitchens? Are they bringing in chefs from several different continents? How is this possible? These are all questions I asked my self as I scanned from pizzas to burgers to salads to seafood. What is this magical place? After much frantic deliberation I decided on the Asian chopped salad. Sweet Asian Jesus was this a good choice. Picture if you will, a beautiful chopped lettuce wedge lovingly tossed with ever so carefully sliced red bell peppers from the coast of Argentina. Now add fire grilled free range chicken breast and wonton strips made from only the finest gluten free ingredients and hand rolled by North Korean culinary artists currently seeking asylum in Texas. All this drizzled with a silky ginger dressing made from organic ginger and what I can only presume is stem cells from a baby white rhino. My palate was satisfied in ways I had never imagined possible. All this for the amazing price of under $25 for two people. Are you kidding me? I would gladly pay ten times this amount for an experience of this magnitude. Do yourself a favor and head to BJ's now. Five stars +++ read more

Gave BJ's another try and I am positive that this place is just A-OK. I can't say anything bad but in the same breath I really can't say anything great. For a chain it's good and for Temple it's much better but in the big picture this place does not knock my socks off. read more

I'm revisiting this page months after having had the worst service experience at any level, sub-shop to fine dining. I wanted to see if the reviews still indicate service problems. It looks like some reviewers have had the same server we had, or one of similar attitude. She was full of contempt from the minute she showed up at our table. I've never asked to speak to a manager, but I did after I observed her making a gesture as she walked away from our table. She should have been fired and bounced out; instead, the manager sent her over to apologize, which seemed to be a performance opportunity for her rather than a genuine apology. Insulting. It was Twilight Zone bizarre, as in Hotel California and you're thinking 'this could be heaven, this could be hell' ... don't doubt yourself: it's clearly hell. For me, that meant get out; don't go back. read more

If I feel like just going out and getting something to eat, I go to BJ's. I usually eat at the bar and both Ira and Ricky are awesome bartenders and very friendly. read more

This was my first stop on my Texas vacation. I looked at their menu online and was excited to try the jalopeno burger. I was seated promptly but it took 10-15 minutes before our waiter came to the table. This was unexcuseable because it wasn't busy. We didn't leave because I really wanted the burger. Getting our food took around average time so no complaints there. As for the food, everything on my burger seemed fresh but had no taste. Nothing on it stood out. I was expecting a kick from the fried jalopeno's but I got nothing. That, on top of the slow service is why I give them 1 star. PS- the waiter was friendly, just slow. read more

The selection of food is overwhelming and it seems as though you could frequent and never try all that is on the menu. With that being said the quality service and the food we have tried has been pretty good. Their avocado egg rolls are top of the line paired with their dipping sauce, makes for a must have appetizer. The pizzas are all delicious and their deep dish lasagna is wonderful. They also have a parmesean crusted chicken that has great flavor. I'm not much of a beer drinker but their selection is also expansive and they have events that make for great outings in town. read more

Went there on Sat 7/28 waited for an 1 1/2hour- we knew it would take a while. They were nice an served sample pizza before being seated at table. The it went down hill fast. Waiter Mark...ugh. Messed up order. Apetizers came when mael came. Had to beg for refills and it ook a long time for food. He waited on everyone but us. We did not complain so that was not the problem or maybe it was. My daughter order was wrong and she is allergic to certain food items. There were 7 of us and only 4 had silverware. We asked for refill, sweetner, a plate for my gradsons food never recieved the plate had to go find sweetner. 2 mgrs on duty. The waiter stunk...so sad..thank goodness when food got there it was good just took for ever to get it after ordering. Will not go back to this one.. The new one in Round Rock is awesome. read more

I have always been a fan for BJs ever since I tried them back in 2015 for the first time in Austin, TX. I was very impressed in their quality food and beer selection, which I love that about them. Their beer is AWESOME. My Husband and I go regularly on our date nights away from our 5 kids. It's a very clean location and staff is friendly and attentive. Their dishes are superb - delicious. Waiters and waitresses are very attentive kind and gentle, which I LOVE. Keep up the good work!! read more

Fantastic Food and Outstanding Service! I love how our server answered questions with enthusiasm & made great suggestions! That shows me this restaurant has outstanding management! read more

This was my first time here. I have to admit that it took us awhile to get seated, but I think it was because we had a bigger group. Once we did, the service was lacking. I ordered a salad with my personal pizza...I finally got the salad when I was halfway done with my pizza. I'd have much rather had it prior to the pizza. So that was a definite downside for me. Then for dessert, they decided we have to have a Pizookie. They get it ordered...when it's ready, they bring out our 2 and they are the small ones. We were a group of 8 and they brought us out a smaller Pizookie. So we had to sit there for another 20-30 minutes while they re-did the entire thing to make it right. It was very tasty...and one might even say addictive...I might go back, but the bar has been set low for service so I won't expect much and hope they can improve from there. read more

I discovered this BJ's on the way to Austin from Dallas. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. Free wi-fi for customers and half-price wine on Tuesdays were the icing on the cake! read more

All i have had are the pizookies here but they were amazing and the waitress was really kind.

Decent beer selection (I liked the Jeremiah Red). Got the Jambalaya and it was very filling and a good amount of spice. Just enough heat to have to wash it down with some more beer! :) read more

Fiery pork thin crust pizza. While the flavor wasn't bad, the crust was not crispy. When I order a than crust, I want every bit to crunch. Service was ok and the atmosphere was typical BJ's. read more
