| - I am no stranger to BJs - I grew up in California, which is where this chain originated from.
I'm not a fan of this BJs. We live about 10 minutes away from it, but I find we go to the one on Superstition Springs more often. We go to BJ's for the food, never the drinks.
Hubby's a huge beer lover. When we lived in San Francisco, we used to do pub crawls with our friends in search of the perfect pint of Guinness.
Anyway, we went to this BJs because he had heard good things about the beer here, more specificially, their brewmaster. He'd read rave reviews and thought, "why not? we're practically around the corner!"
Off we trotted and he ordered the beer and I ordered a salad...and he was angry. Angry at beer. What?! Not again. It's ok. I was angry at my salad and the slower service.
He finally learned his lesson - never get the beer at BJs. The first BJs experience was back in California at the BJs in Cupertino, across the street from the Apple campus (yes, as in iPod). He and his best drinking mate, Matt, went for beer...one they ordered tasted like Juniper. The second one he ordered "tasted like how sweaty gym socks smelled". His exact words. *gags a little*
He thought it would be different at this BJs...but was sadly mistaken
BJs on the whole will never have imported beer. If you want a decent selection of imported beer, I suggest going to Whole Foods -- you can pick up Belhaven!
My salad pissed me off. There was more dressing than salad. I wanted some lettuce with my dressing. Our server kept sneaking off - don't want to know what he was doing outside for long periods of time and come back smelling of smoke.
My suggestion? Seriously? Skip this BJs and go eat at one of the other restaurants. This one won't do it for beer...or food.
