BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

cheap knock off of cheese cake factory, pissed off staff trying to force more overpriced beer and deserts down your throat, skip it, unless your meemaw wants a fancy brunch.

Do not expect much in the way of dinner. This place is best for beer and entrees or a decent lunch. Dinner entrees have proven to be bland, cooked from frozen packaged creations in my four visits. The BJ’s IPA and Jerimiah Red are good and the appetizer selection is good. The guac is especially good as is the California flavored/​named flat bread. The service has proven to be ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ in my trips, but of course, no matter the level of restaurant it’s all about individual performance.

I typically really enjoy BJ’s food, but it was definitely not up to par at this location. I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken for take-​out and chips with Spinach Artichoke dip First off, as soon as I got my food home to eat it was already stone cold, and I showed up before they told me it would be ready so I know I didn’t leave it waiting at the restaurant too long.
My chicken was dry, did not have hardly any flavor, and they had left off the sauce that usually goes on it. My chips were stale, and the spinach artichoke dip had no flavor at all. I would not go back to this location again based on this experience.

This is the third or fourth time we’ve been here. Each time the food has been pretty darn good. The service on the other hand… Very very slow. Took half an hour to get two sandwiches out. This is a common complaint so I assume that they don’t care about speed of service

This is the 4^th time I have been here. The service has been very lacking every time. There were 6 people in our group. Three of the orders were incorrect. If you want your order correct & do not have at least an hour and a half, go elsewhere.

Thoroughly disappointed with this visit. Got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and some sort of corn. The chicken was horrible, the corn was obviously canned, and the potatoes were sub-​par. At least the Pepsi was good.

Not good, not bad. Food average, nice ambiance.

Had a reservation at 12:00 for lunch, everyone in our party of 8 was seated and ordered by 12:15. Our food did not arrive until 1:30. The waitress, while very friendly and pleasant, disappeared for most of our wait time and offered drink refills only as we were finishing up our meals.
The avocado bacon grilled cheese oozed with butter and I could barely finish half of it.
Not recommended b

Just had their spaghetti and meatballs if you like a lot of garlic and undercooked meatballs this dish is for you. Low on flavor and not worth the price of 14.75

this is a class a place i love the inside look and how tasty there food. but before i forget the homemade sodas are amazing and there steak is well cooked and flavored had a good time.
will be back soon

I was really impressed with this place. The décor is really nice! They have a beautiful bar with a large selection of beers on tap. The staff has always been friendly every time I’ve gone. Most recently I had ordered the Brussel sprouts and they were DELICIOUS! I’d definitely recommend eating here.

Food was average, as one would expect with such a HUGE menu. The upside is that there is something for everyone. Servers were all very nice. Big appetizer platter was pretty good.
Alcoholic beverages (monitor, strawberry splash, piña colada) tasted more like a mix than a «real» drink. Beer was good and lots of choices.
Nothing special overall, but I’d go back.

OK so I missed this place a bit much. So, the food was amazing ate it all strange I did it without my other half. We share food most days but not Today. Shhhh don’t tell him that. So, the first guy made me an amazing tea drink so delicious his name was Jason a world traveler backpacker. We need a prayer for him all I can say is his name is Jason and it’s for a good reason for prayer for him. He had to leave but transferred me to Mike.
And no Mikes last name is not Hunt… he said amazing as well he is really GREAT he made me a stiff tea he said it was from Long Island. What’s that supposed to mean? It’s really yummy. I am having an amazing time here in Cincinnati and Kentucky. This was well needed the great food. Ahhhh.

Good food, great beer selection and even better desserts. This place hits on all cylinders. As far as the size of the entrees, as Donald Trump would say, They’re Huuuggggeee! You will not leave here hungry and most likely will need a nap after eating.

The service was amazing. The drink selection is definitely varied and the appetizers are great. We had some sliders and flatbread pizza. Next time I’d go for their deep-​dish pizza. Our server was Britney and she was great. This is a good location next to the movie theater. I felt the prices were a bit high for the items, but if you use mobile pay (like PayPal) you get 20% off your check. The house-​made cream soda was great also.

I love their appetizer-​calamari!!! I love their bursts cider! The staff and servers are friendly and the inside looks very classy! It is a fine in place that you would take someone on a date or for celebratory dinner! Price isn’t that bad! And my food has always been served very well! Their steak cooks the way I want it to be! The chipotle salmon is my best salmon in town!
It is cold on the inside however. Bring a little jacket/​sweater! The brownie is amazing! Everyone should try it once at least!!! Husband loves their beer choices too! We like BJ’s on occasion!

I’ve been to BJ’s several times and have discovered good points and bad points. On the good side, the atmosphere is upbeat and classy, yet comfortably casual at the same time. Also, the avocado egg rolls are delish. Finally, the servers are friendly.
On the bad side, service is always slow, no matter how busy the place is. Also, the food tends to be hit or miss. On my most recent visit, my salad was served with wet greens, which was totally disgusting. Prices are too high, but once you see the interior you will understand why. You are definitely paying for all the money that was put into it.

The food here is standard in terms of the offering, as is the beer, but it’s always good quality and done properly. They also do a great job at offering a lighter menu. A lot of chains do a very poor job of this but their light menu is flavorful and creative. We’ve done some beer tasting events here and it’s a lot of fun. They also carry local brews, so that’s a huge plus in my book. We’ve never had a bad service experience here either, which is impressive for a place this big. Our servers are always attentive and friendly.
Tonight we had the Ahi salad and the new light option, roasted barbacoa chicken. The Ahi salad was great, fresh, not too much dressing. The one thing I will say is that the wasabi is HHHOOOOOTTTT. It’s no joke! Do not go there unless you can handle that heat! The barbacoa chicken was wonderful. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The rice and beans were cooked properly and good, but a little salty. We both had the porter beer and it was DELISH as usual!
Honestly, is it a bourbon, hipster-​ran, funky spot? No, not really, but the standard offerings are REALLY well done and for that, they get a 4 star.

I’m writing this review based on my experience last night. Most nights we get good service but seemed like a new staff tonight.
Ordered a Nit Wit beer, their most awarded beer. This was the worst beer I have ever had. First part of the flavor was good but it had an awful bite at the end. Luckily the manager came over, understood and brought me another beer on the house. The Hefeweizen was decent.
The waitress was awfully slow, we asked for lemons and it took 30 mins to get them. I ordered their new pizza, Cajun deep dish. Waitress stated it had chicken, andouille sausage, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and Cajun spices. I requested no onions. The pizza came out and it had onions and I never found a piece of chicken on it! Cajun food is supposed to have a good kick to it. This was the most bland pizza I’ve ever had. There was no flavor, even the andouille was tasteless. I ate two slices just to eat it cause I was hungry.
Overall, not sure what my dinner was but I will definitely not be ordering it again.

Pleasantly surprised by a recent dinner experience here. It’s a brew house so think pub food and beer and you’ll be happy. I got a burger with wedge fries and a craft beer sampler.
The burger was well cooked, diner-​style on a flat top with lots of flavor. The wedge fries were crisp on the outside, well-​seasoned, and soft potato inside. I tried several housemade beers which were enjoyable and there was a wide range to choose from.
Hubby went outside the pizza and burger pages and thought his was just OK (fish tacos). Service was pretty prompt, no problem getting to our movie on time.
2 tips:
–no reservations, but they do take call ahead seating, which I would recommend for weekends (reduced our wait to 10 min)
–they offer discounted movie tickets for Rave next door ($ 8), but you might want to inquire in advance if that’s important to you because they ran out when we were there.
