BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

"My husband and I shared a sumptuous prime rib dinner special last Friday at BJ's on International Drive. The special included a creamy clam chowder soup loaded with clams, Caesar salad, 12 oz prime rib and a sinfully yummy dessert (strawberry shortcake pizookie). We liked the food, service and atmosphere so much that we returned the next night for more."

"I went with a group. I ordered the House Salad and Shrimp Scampi. The food was so good I had no leftovers and was full. I opted for a non alcoholic drink, which was very tasty and pretty to look at. The wait time for our group of 8 for seating was probably 5 minutes. All our food came out at once except for 1 person. The restaurant apologized and did not charge that person for their food. I will definitely come back."

"The servers and the food were fine. However...it must have been 60 degrees in there! I was told the heat was broken. Well management, then turn off the a/c. The bar was so cold it was like ice. I literally had to go to the car for my coat. I considered just leaving. The patron next to me, a large man, spontaneously said, "wow it sure is cold in here". I personally don't buy the heat broken thing. I asked the bartender how she could stand working a shift here. She said they learn to keep moving. So everyone thinks it's freezing except the person in charge of the thermostat. I won't return."

"I was skeptical when my group of friends decided that we were all going to BJ’s. I was pleasantly by the quality of the food, as I was expecting something like the Cheesecake Factory. If we had had a good experience with the service, this would have probably been a 4-star review. I honestly do not blame our waiter, this place just needs a change in management. Here is how the experience went. 1. We waited 15 min to be sited, although there was plenty of space available. 2. Once we were sited, there was only one waitress working on the tables inside, and the rest of the staff was just sitting idle. 3. Since she had too many tables, it took here another 20 min just to get our drinks and order. 4. The appetizers came before the drinks (or waters), and there were no plates or silverware. The plates they finally brought were all wet For what is worth, the garlic shrimp and the Philly cheesesteak were pretty good. However, I will never come back to this place."

"After shopping and it being that this is our anniversary weekend my wife, kids and I wanted try a new restaurant and this place did not disappoint. Greeted at door and were seated in 5 minutes. The server Danica V was very polite, answered questions even made my youngest child feel special. He is autistic and finding a place where he feels welcomed and is part of the conversation is nice. Food was good. Dessert, the Pizookie Trio, was to go, but it didn’t make it home as in ride home everyone had a piece. Will be returning in near future."
