   The Prime Rib dinner was a huge disappointment. The meat was tough and had too much fat.

   Food was good. Service was painstakingly slow. I waiter had too many tables an no help. We pointed out spilled water on the floor that someone could slip on. No one wiped it up. Hope no one fell.

   Our server Tom made our whole experience 10x better than the average visit to BJs! I’ve been coming to BJs for years and I’ve never had the experience of a server like Tom. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to have as our server! I appreciate his attention to detail and thinking of little things before we could even ask him! I’d come back just to have Tom as a server again.

   Overall atmosphere is on par with a Red Robin. Great place for kids because it's so loud in there. More of a gathering place, super casual night out. Not a good option for a business dinner, especially if you have stuffier, more formal colleagues. Not enough tables in the bar area for a quick drink/night out.

   Thanks for your feedback, Teresa! We appreciate your insights on the atmosphere and dining options. We aim to create a fun, casual environment, but we understand it may not suit every occasion. Your thoughts help us improve, and we’ll keep them in mind for future enhancements.

   Despite making a reservation for 12 people 2 days in advance, they were unable to give us a table for 12. They made us wait a 1/2 hr and then informed us that we will be getting 2 tables instead of 1. They didn’t come for orders till another 1/2 hr. We requested quick orders for the small kids in our group, and they missed that too! Either you take bookings and hold tables for the reservations or just inform customers that we are not taking reservations!

   Thank you for sharing your experience Prachi. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.

   Arrived early and was seated early. Staff was friendly and worked hard to keep things moving. We unfortunately had to wait a while for waitstaff to do first touch. Once drinks & food order taken, things went smoothly. Appetizer was great. Fish & chips and chicken sandwich were hot & tasty. Mahi Mahi tacos were fishy tasting. Took a while to get check, but online payment was fast. Overall good meal.
