BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse 1414 Polaris Parkway, Columbus, OH 43240

"I’ve never had a problem with service or food quality here, but they almost ruined a good night! My 1 year anniversary was tonight, we booked a reservation through Open Table. I expected to be seated somewhere around 7:00. Walked in, and the hostess told us it would be an hour or more until we were seated. Someone needs to tell them to get off open table if they aren’t actually going to honor reservations. Luckily for us, we took our business to a much nicer restaurant with no wait!"

"I'm mixed about this restaurant. The food was quite good; dip trio plus salsa with house made chips was delicious, strawberry salad, filet and loaded baked potato were very good, the chili was OK but bland. Our waitress was less than stellar asking us to repeat alot but then again the music was up wayyyyy too loud for a Tuesday at 1:30pm. With the exception of the appetizer, the food came out in a strange way as the salad to one person and only the filet to another were served at one time then the dinner salad (to accompany the filet) a few minutes later.....kitchen mixup? We sat in a booth at the bar and the counter edge (which was actually the top of the partial wall separating the bar from the dining room) was very dusty-not a good look. I'm not certain if I would go back or not."

"BJs never disappoints at all. They have good selection of foods in both appetizers and main courses for everyone (including Vegetarians). This is our most favorite restaurant. Avocado egg rolls, Chicken wings, Chicken dumplings, Mozzarella sticks are highly recommended for appetizers. BJs Chicken Alfredo Pasta tastes way better than the ones offered in nearby Italian restaurants. I would highly recommend to try Soba noodles with both Chicken and shrimp. Our Kids love Pizookies. During Weekend it gets busy but we don’t mind waiting."

"Punchline here is that if you only have an hour for lunch, this is definitely not the place to go to. This place was not swamped when we came in maybe it was 40% full and for lunch hour that does not seem bad at all. Actually I think we were a little bit past the lunch hour because we didn’t get here till 1230.. So our small group of three arrived here at 12:30 we knew that we had to be out by 145 so we wasted no time and placed our order within the first five minutes of being seated . 1 o’clock rolls around we’ve seen the server zero times since being seated . As she’s walking by at 1pm, I catch her and tell her hey we have to leave by 1:15 so we either need to get this to go or cancel the order. She said she’ll check on the food comes back at 1:10 and asked us if we want to cancel the order or have it packed to go. At this point, I tell her just pack it up because we have to leave. I would’ve at least expected that we would’ve had our single appetizer of avocado rolls within 30 minutes of placing the order, but that did not happen. We got the ticket and paid and out at 1:18 We ordered one appetizer and it still wasn’t even there at 30 minutes in. I’m sure this place is nice. It looks nice. The prices are nice and juicy but something went horribly wrong with our situation. Seems kind of like more of the quietly quitting , work as slow as you can thing happening across America. Call. Anyway, I will never risk coming to this place during the lunch hour again if I only have an hour and I would recommend that you be cautious too."

"I really enjoy Bj's. It's been a while since I've been here, but it just reminded me why I like it so much. The calamari was great, the jambalaya was great, my girlfriends tacos were great, and our drinks were delicious. The staff is always friendly and timely, and ambiance in there is great for watching sports or just having a date night. This was my girlfriends first time visiting and she even suggested that we come back soon. So we will definitely be back. Keep up the excellent work!"
