| - Great layout, tasty looking menu, creative drinks, friendly staff, but but needs just a little fine tuning on operation. Bj's has been open at this location for aprox a month and I think it will be extremely popular once they're rolling.
Experience: We received prompt seating at 4pm in a nice, large booth facing all of the sports games (which was perfect). Our server was friendly and sweet. We ordered the artichoke appetizer and soup salad combos. We requested our food to be "coursed": app first, then salad, then soup after salad so that the soup wouldn't get cold while we were eating everything else (this has happened to me before and so I was specific about it). *This didn't happen.
The app came out extremely hot and so we had to wait for it to cool. We didn't mind that, but then our soup and salads arrived together....and we weren't finished with the app and the soup was warm, not hot, which meant it went cold by the time we were finished with our salads...which is why I asked for it to be timed out. Nobody wants to eat cold clam chowder. The timing of the food was disappointing. *Side note: They need to check the silverware before wrapping it.
Food: The artichoke app was slightly briny but ok.
House salad was delicious with fresh greens and veggies and I really like the balsamic dressing (ask for it on the side). The Caesar salad was way over dressed. I'm not exaggerating, we didn't finish it. The clam chowder had nice flavor and we would order it again. However, I would want it to be a good temp instead of warm to cold. *Tip: No bread, crackers, or anything served with it, so you may want to order it in a bread bowl if you're looking for that. The Smores Pizookie came out perfect. I like that they offer a Pizookie Trio so that you can try more than one kind if you choose.
They have daily deals and the servers should offer those when giving you the menu's. It makes you wonder if the staff gets to do menu tasting so that they can let you know what's their favorites are or what's popu
We'll be back because we see the potential and know they just opened and it takes time to perfect things. I am detailed in this review in hopes that they will make adjustments because I really like the place. Not to be harsh. I would give it 3 1/2 stars and my relative said 3 stars.
Another user wrote that if you check in on Yelp that you get a free Pizookie or App...I checked in, but didn't get that notification/ offer...disappointing :(.
