BJ's is a regular haunt for my husband and I. They have great selections of beer. My favorite is the PM Porter. The food is consistently good and they have an extensive menu. My favorite is the shrimp tacos and my husband loves the french dip, their pizzas are also very good. We always sit in the bar section, that eliminates the children, which can be noisy if you end up getting a table next to them. The atmosphere is great, and the bar area has TV's with current sporting events playing.
The only downside is that the service isn't always great. Also, I've witness the staff using the parking spots in the front for themselves. This says to me the restaurant is poorly managed. Fix that and you'd probably have a 5 star restaurant.
