I never thought I'd see myself reviewing conglomerate type restaurant like BJ's. However my most recent experience inspired me to take a few minutes to spread the gospel on some great things that most people are probably missing out on.
First off their fish & chips have the most uniquely delicious batters I have ever encountered. I don't know how they do it, but the batter is flavorful, crispy and surprisingly flaky. It absorbs the malt vinegar or lemon juice while still maintaining its crunchiness. Every other beer batter I've tried, the vinegar or lemon juice just glides right off and makes the batter soggy. They've learned how to break the laws of physics with this magical beer batter.
Second notable item offered at BJ's is their Irish Root Beer, which is their micro-brew root beer mixed with Jameson, Butterscotch Schnapps, and Bailey's. The drink comes out frothy, messy, and overflowing like a great root beer float. If you've never tried it before, you don't know what to expect when you taste it. The best way to describe this flavor of this drink is with words from that guy in that Daffy Duck cartoon. BJ's Irish Root Beer is... "Amazing! Marvelous! Stupendous! Colossal! Tremendous! Gigantic! Astounding! Unbelievable! Spectacular! Phenomenal! And it's good, too."
