We have been several times and while the last review was a peak time we have been a few times since and today was the last straw and we ended up walking out. We arrived about 3pm on a Saturday afternoon there were approximately 5 tables between 3 servers. 2 hostesses and we waited about 5-8 minutes before someone approached the host stand and then were greeted by someone I assume was forced into approaching us. The second hostess approached and sat us. We waited approximately 10 minutes before the hostess came back and said our server was checking out a ticket and she would get our drinks. She brought back the drinks except the one that would come from the bar. The tea tasted like it had been sitting out for who knows how long and was soured. We waited approximately 20 minutes before we realized the waitress was getting the orders of the 3tables that had just been sat and still hadn't asked for ours and our drink from the bar (a non alcoholic one at that) still hadn't been delivered and still couldn't ask anyone to trade the tea out. We needed up getting up and walking out. As we left the table the waitress acknowledged us with "are you guys leaving" to which my husband said yes and she said "oh ok" and we left and unfortunately won't be back. This used to be one of my favorite places but consistent slow and poor service mixed with slightly overpriced food really has done us in. We left at 4pm went to Texas Roadhouse next door where the parking lot was overflowing as were the tables. We were greeted immediately, sat promptly, and somehow managed to have food all in less time than it took to be acknowledged and sat at Bjs. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - New American Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Our first time at BJ's restaurant was not as expected. We were welcomed and seated right away which was nice. Our server, Nia was nice as well. The reason for the rating is due to dirty silverware, seemingly false advertising on the tuna salad, cold food and dirty tables. We got there at 6:00 and it wasn't that busy on Mother's Day so maybe they had not cleaned up after the Mother's Day brunch crowd? My husband ordered the tuna salad and the tuna was diced up in thirds and not slices like it is pictured in the menu not avocado as advertised. I got the mediterranean chicken tacos. The size wasn't the disappointment, but it was the temperature. Both my sweet potato fries and tacos were room cold. My daughter liked her grilled chicken strawberry salad, but she just wished there was maybe a couple more pieces of chicken than she had. The dirty silverware was a huge turn off. It wasn't just water spots, but actual food that was still caked onto the knives and the forks. On the plus side, we did order dessert and the cookie ice cream pies were pretty good. We ordered the chocolate chip and the Oreo. We know not every restaurant is going to be perfect on your first time so we tried to overlook some things, but we just don't know that we will be back. read more

Super chill spot for a weekday dinner with kids. The food is decent for chain restaurant. The service was good too. It's a nice location with lots of eclectic decor. We got the unlimited soup and salad and loved that we could try everything. The full rack of ribs was huge and tasted great. The kids mini burgers were 2 sliders and really good fries. The vibe was chill and we didn't feel bad that our kids were loud. Our only qualm was they didn't have non alcoholic beer on draft. read more

I was excited to try BJ's new chicken sandwich, but it ended up being a little disappointing. The sandwich had a good flavor, and the combination of the coleslaw and pickles sounded like it would be really good, but the chicken itself was tough and seemed overcooked. It just didn't have the texture I was hoping for. The fries were good, but overall the sandwich was a little underwhelming. Maybe it was just an off day, I don't know! read more

We usually sit at the bar at BJ's Brewhouse and always get great service, but this time we sat in a booth and the experience was different. The ambience was still nice and relaxed, but they were clearly short-staffed, so service was slower than usual. Our waiter was new (his fourth day), and he struggled to keep up, though he genuinely tried. The food was still on point! The salmon was seasoned perfectly, and the blush sangria mocktail is always a favorite. The manager checked on us several times, which I appreciated. Overall, expect slower service right now, but they're clearly working to improve. read more

I'm done. As my previous review stated I thought highly of this place. However, it has been on a steady decline for the last view visits but I was hoping it was temporary. It was not. On this latest lunch visit my wife ordered a soup and salad combo and I ordered the seared ahi tuna salad. After about 15 minutes they brought my wife's salad and a ramekin (not bowl) of soup. They stated they were not aware they were out of the broccoli/potato(no promises, but I think that was the soup) so they offered her a second chance. She took it and I do not remember what that was, sorry. What I do know was that it was Luke warm and really not that good. As for my salad, it was another 15 minutes (after 1 reminder) before my seared tuna salad came out. Unfortunately for them, I started stealing half of my wife's wedge salad as I was hungry. Once it arrived I politely informed the waiter, who was also very friendly that he can take that back. When will restaurants learn to bring entrees out together?? I was way too nervous to try the ahi after the poor quality of soup. Sad to see another place bite the dust but I....we, will not be back. read more

Experience here was lackluster, my food personally was decent, the burger could've been more juicy, but my two friends I was with said their meals weren't very good, mid at best. We ordered drinks (beers) which took about 15 minutes to get and the restaurant wasn't packed or even close to being what I'd call busy. Server seemed to be fairly new and possibly new to waitressing. Ambiance was very low lighting and they kept it warm on a frigid day which was nice. All and all a mid experience at best, don't see myself returning here for the cost of the what they offer, might possibly return to the bar just for their in house Ales which were good once we finally got them. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Crispy Jalapeno Burger* - New American Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

We walk in and it took a few minutes to get noticed to be greeted and seated. The service is slow. Took about 15 minutes to get our drinks ordered. Another 15 goes by and someone who just came in and got seated right away and got their meal ordered in a matter of minutes. We didn't get a chance to order because we decided to walk out. Service is slow and terrible. They weren't personable when we were acknowledged. Then the food and drinks were overpriced. Had several similar experiences like this and has been a while since I've been but was going to give it another try. Surprised they are still in business with how bad it is. Definitely will not go back and will advise others to not go as well read more

Being showing up at bj for their lunch specials. I believe at $13 it is a very good deal. Different choices so you should be able to fund something you like. In addition to the $13 lunch special, there are also daily specials. read more

This place has everything! I love the brewhouse samplers. It includes mozzarella sticks, wings, nachos, and two sliders! I also recommend the brew house chicken it was tasty! read more

The service was great and the ambiance was exactly what you'd expect from a brewery. But my problem is that the price is way too expensive for the quality of food that's served. I got a jalapeno burger and let's just say it was lacking in the fire department. I really wish I didn't spend that much money for what it was, but at least I enjoyed the company I was with And the service was still really good! read more

As promised, we came back to try again and I will say that the service this time was MUCH more enjoyable. The food was excellent also. I had half rack of ribs with fries and asparagus. My wife had the dill pickle dry rub wings. Highly recommend either of these choices!! Kudo to Davaun! Nice job! Keep up the good work! read more

I have always received well-prepared food at BJ's. However, today was not the case.The soups were room temp, Ahi Tuna salad had mangled tuna slices and tasteless dressing. Service was very slow and overall a disappointment. Probably why they're never too busy. read more

I decided to drop in this upscale spot that has a very attractive bar area and there are a number of large screen TVs scattered about, most near the bar area! Like many spots like this, there is loud, way too new music blaring away - don't understand why restaurants don't understand that is very annoying to many folks. When I entered a little after 11AM, there was no one in the front of the house except 3 folks waiting to be taken to a table, took this to be a less than great sign - staff of all description on the floor at opening was 2. About 30 minutes later several others showed up. I walked on past the unoccupied hostess stand to the bar, up and to the right, and grabbed a booth. The lady behind the bar approached shortly with a menu, and took my drink order, a draft Stella Artois. I ordered full rack of Baby Back Ribs with a Loaded Baked Potato and another side. The first two sides I ordered were not available per word from the kitchen, so I finally settled on Broccoli. I was getting that uneasy feeling foodies invariably get when they sense all is not well, especially in the kitchen. It took about 25 minutes to get my order on the table, and though attractively plated, it would prove to be a mixed bag, and at these prices, that is not acceptable. The ribs ($34.40) were a full 12 rib rack, cooked overnight per the menu description. The ribs were well sauced with a nice combination of sweet and spicy. They were not falling off the bone tender, but well within the range of acceptable. The accompany sauce was a nice addition as well. The 2 onion rings were large and very tasty, but the pickled red onions were MIA! The loaded backed potato was not fresh tasting, nor was it heated through, the butter I added only partially melted. The broccoli was stone cold, should never have left the kitchen, they another strong indication that they were not ready for this Monday to begin . Several other points: The ribs were served on a rectangular metal tray that slid all over the table when you tried to cut the ribs apart! I had to ask for silverware and when received it was wrapped in a "napkin" the size and consistency of a single sheet of standard paper towel. The single Stella Artois draft (14 ounces or so) was priced at $9.25!!! This was not a meal worth anywhere near $43 & change, even had there not been some many bumps along the way! Ambiance - 2 (loud music, very dimly lit) Food - 3 Service - 3 Value - 1 read more

This is my third trip here over several year span . I can't believe the place doesn't have better than three stars . One of my favorite places , only complaint I wish there was one closer to my house . I like the decor and atmosphere, feel fancy and expensive. The food is always spot on , staff is always friendly and very helpful . First time ever having a prime rib and it was amazing the three course meal deal was well worth the price . My wife loved the broccoli soup and pasta was really good . Look forward to the next time being in the area just so we can eat here . read more

BJs is one of my favorite chain restaurants! It is pricey but it's hard to find deep dish pizza around here so I think it's worth it. The pizza always has the perfect crust and they have personal sizes too. It doesn't have a lot of sauce which I prefer. The Halloween drinks were so cute so I'm excited to see if they have any Christmas ones. They even had a mocktail without alcohol which was an orange creamsicle and delicious. Their cookie skillets are amazing - every piece tastes like a corner brownie which I love. Last time we went the service was a little slow but the staff was still nice and helpful. I think they're understaffed so there might be a little bit of a wait but it's worth it to me! read more

We decided to visit for Father's Day because my son in-law wanted to go here. This is my 3rd visit to BJ's and never been satisfied with my food. I tried to like the place but after trying my 3rd time, I will not be back. The atmosphere , service and drinks were great but the food is way overpriced for the quality. The chicken dish I got cost $24.49. The chicken and mashed potatoes were very dry and the asparagus was over cooked. Also for the price the portion size is very small. They charge prices of their food like a high end restaurant but definitely not high end quality. I would only recommend this restaurant for appetizers and drinks. The entree dishes they definitely need some culinary expert help. read more

The service at the restaurant was great!! Our server was so nice and had excellent recommendations. My meal was pretty average though. The steak was somewhat tough (couldn't be cooked below medium due to the slow roasting process) and didn't have a lot of flavor. The asparagus and mashed potatoes were good but also weren't anything special. The Halloween themed drink and pizookie on the other hand were great. The drink was very creative/Instagram worthy and didn't taste too sweet. The pizookie was for sure the highlight though! The cookie tasted like a brownie made of all corner pieces and the orange colored vanilla ice cream paired so well! read more

My party of 3 got sat quickly but then we waited for nearly 20 minutes and no server came up to even take our drink order. They were not busy, and we made eye contact with the servers (who were all huddled up talking in different areas) multiple times and yet no one came over. We ended up walking out. read more

Loved it. My favorite is the salmon. Always great and this time was the best. Great service. My son had the burger which is his favorite. Our favorite dessert is the pazookie. Love it. read more

Place was clean and staff friendly. We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly. First time here. Good atmosphere. Very wide open seating. Love it. Menu is pretty extensive. Lots of choices. Maybe too many. Items are not cheap. Burgers run about $15, pasta dishes similar and jambalaya is $24. That is not a typo. I make jambalaya at home about every week. Still trying to figure out where they get $24. Pretty hefty. I opted for the classic cheeseburger with lettuce tomato and pickle with fries. Daughter had the BJ's barbecue burger and fries. Dodd was prepared fairly quickly. The fries were awesome. Thin and freshly made. Very very good. First impressions of my burger: it was big and pretty. Glossy bun. But the bun was cold and as a result, a little too firm. It Made the burger very thick and kinda hard to bite. I guess I expected it to be warm or grilled. The burger was good, not great. Not much flavor. The toppings were crispy and fresh. A little disappointed. My daughters burger was also pretty to look at. The big downside: it was so drenched in sickly sweet barbecue sauce, that was all you could taste. She only ate 1/3 of the burger and threw the rest away. Such a shame considering the price. I had one bite of it and the taste of barbecue sauce lingered for a half hour. Way too much of a good thing. If you order this burger, get the sauce on the side. $33 plus tip for two burgers and fries. Like I said, it was ok. But not the kind of experience that would make me want to come back. Should I try something else? Salads are $15 up. So are chicken dishes. When you spend that kind of money, you expect value. For me and my daughter, the value just wasn't there. read more

Sooooo...I have a rule. Try a spot at least 3 times before you decide that you hate the spot. I've been to BJ's at least 5 times and guess what...still hate it. The family decided to go there for an afternoon meal. First, it seems like no matter when I go there the service is always horrible. After we were seated, no one took our drink order, so we just sat there. Finally, a guy asked if anyone had helped us and we said no. He rolled his eyes, with a deep breath and said someone would be there soon. When the waitress came she didn't seem too interested in giving excellent customer service. We could tell because she screwed up our drink orders...twice. After what seemed like an eternity she finally took our order. After all our children grew up and moved to other cities our food finally came. (It took a really long time. About 40 mins, and the place was not crowded). I got the sliders because nothing else on the menu was interesting. (Standard bar food) The sliders were as plain as can be...not even cheese, just a greasy hamburger pattie, bread and ketchup. (Who eats ketchup on a burger? A 5 years old?) Needless to say the food was unremarkable, service was poor, but I gave them 3 stars because they always have good atmosphere, the place is clean and the bathrooms aren't gross. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Sliders...underwhelming... - New American Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Absolutely awful! We have never been there, but wanted to try it. I should have checked reviews first. We got our appetizer before drinks. All we got was water, it was brought in paper cups. Our appetizer was cold, so we sent it back. It never came back... we waited 20 mins and it never came. Our server got our order and we reminded him, it still didn't come back. That's not just a server problem that's a kitchen and management problem! read more

I never expected to find a great salad at a Brewhouse chain, but that happened today! I usually go here for pretty good wings and beers. The huge menu is a nice plus too. Today, in a pinch for a fast sit down lunch, my co worker and I gave it a shot. Big win! Quick and kind service, tons of lunch menu options, cool space, and a great chopped Asian salad read more

Avoid at all costs! We had a 6:30 reservation. Seated after 7. Food not served until after 8:30. Really poor service. And the restaurant overall has a very sticky feeling - floors, menus, tables. We weren't expecting fine dining but it was atrocious. read more

Worst possible service. Had to ask several times for refills, half our party got food and other half it took 30 more minutes. We then ask for the manager and 30 minutes later he comes from the back. Your employee didn't even know what was in a side salad.. we will not be back. read more

This place has so much potential! Food is good, menu is varied, great selection of craft beers including some of their own. The downfall comes in the service area. They have an amazing Avacodo Egg Roll appetizer; however, the night we were there, they were out of it. We decided on a Spinach-Artichoke dip. Was served with tortilla chips. Dip was good, but would have been way better with toasted pita points. For the price, you would expect better.- I had the double pork chop with a Mandan orange sauce. Chop was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was delicious. My wife ordered the ribeye. Perfectly cooled. Also delicious. Our problem was timing of he food. Appetizer and salad arrived at the time. Kinda took the pleasure out of the app. Asked the server to not rush the entrees; however, they were done early. The server ket them sit on the pass until we were ready. That is a serious kitchen issue. We will return, but surely wish they would work out the bugs. read more

Food was okay. The service was very slow. Our waitress was covering so many tables that she couldn't keep up with refills on drinks well. She was doing her very best but was just spread way too thin. read more

I've actually come here a few times and have been pleasantly surprised each time. At some point you would think I would just expect good food and decent drinks. I would recommend their beers as they have a wide variety. Like any bar, the mixed drinks really depend on the bartender for the night. Yet their bar has a wide variety of liquors to choose from. Now, the food is quite good for the price. I've had the deep pizza and flatbread pizza as they are know for...you guessed it, beer and pizza. Yet, this time I tried their deep dish ziti. I was very happy with what came out. While it might seem small on the plate, it is deep! And the garlic knot on the side was a nice touch. I'd come back if I am near the mall. Yet, I would recommend Johnny B's Grillhouse if you want to get away from the chaos of Hanes Mall or if there is a long wait. read more

Absolute worst experience ever. The server was easily distracted and would leave to get something and not come back for 30 minutes. We were there from 3:45 to 6:20. Had to send all but two entrees back because the food was prepared incorrectly. I couldn't even eat my food because it was obviously old reheated left overs from a special. I would not recommend read more

Food is mediocre, lacking flavor. Got my boneless chicken cold after 20 mins wait for our food. The restaurant had just about 10 other customers. Our waitress lacks menu knowledge. We ordered many items that they were out of order. She takes the order, then comes back telling us that they are out of that item, we order something else, she comes back with the same story, that happened 3 or 4 times! We ordered a steak, she did not even ask how we want it done, got it well done :( Second time and probably the last. read more

so me and my boyfriend went here and the food was good but the service was very bad ... the waitress had a nasty attitude .. AND SHE DIDNT EVEN GIVE OUR CHANGE BACK !! of course we tip ! i've been in the service industry but just assuming that the rest of the change was yours and just taking it WITHOUT asking if we wanted change or not !!! i didn't catch the waitresses name but is unacceptable! especially when you don't do your job correctly and IT WASNT BUSY ! we waited for over 20 minutes just to get the check and she NEVER checked up on us !! so i DO NOT recommend coming here! read more

Went in for date night, left BJ's angry. Worst service I've had anywhere. Our server, Lonje, couldn't care less that we were there. Paid us very little attention and we ended up canceling a drink for my wife when it still wasn't out after 30 mins. Also, her side salad came out after we finished the meal, and we had to ask for it. The food was good, which is why 2 stars. The service is why we won't be back. read more

Went there last Friday night after going a few before that. Decided to try a few other ideas besides the ribeye and the pzookie desserts (which are also good). The Sangria cocktails are great and the crispy calamari is arguably the best appetizer on the menu. If you're looking for inexpensive entrees the sandwiches are likely the best options. Be advised that the service can get slow at times. Other than that this is an enjoyable place to eat at. read more
