| - So excited to have a BJ's in the Cleveland area. First tried them in Columbus, lived the pizza, beers and pizookies. Welcome to the Land.
Located off mentor avenue inside mentor mall, this BJ's is huge and gorgeous. From the instant you walk in, you are in awe. It is the very similar to the cheesecake factory in terms of decor and menu size. I prefer a smaller, simpler menu but with the large menu there is something for anybody at any time of the day. They have great appetizer and small plates options, slads, burgers, sandwiches and of course pizzas.
We came in on a weeknight around 8pm, sat at the colorful bar, and ordered 2 house beer, the hopstorm ipa and Jeremiah red, both were tasty and a dollar off on Wednesday even at 8pm. For food, we went for the siracha brussel sprouts and the shishito peppers with pepperoni. Both apps were fine but I was disappointed in the taste and overall flavor. The shishito peppers were buried in pepperoni, very dry and really flavorless. The sprouts were much better but didn't have much going on outside of the siracha honey sauce drizzled on top.
We doubled down on pepperoni with a small deep dish pepperoni lover pizza and that was as delicious as I remembered it being in Columbus. We were too stiffed to order a pizookie but they look as good as ever, don't skip out on them if you can. Also, join the BJ's rewards program to get discounts and free pizookies, they add up.
