BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ’s is good, its very busy, be prepared to wait 30+ minutes on the weekends. The beer selection is great. The food has been great every time. I have gotten pizza, burgers, wings and I would say the burgers were the best overall.
The mozzarella sticks were also great, they give you a lot and you dont feel like you were ripped off. Calamari was chewy, I wouldn’t recommend. The flatbread pizza is ok, go for the deepdish instead.

The waiter must have been on stupid pills.
1. Ordered a beer. Walked away, Was 86.
2. Ordered glazed salmon. Walked away, Was 86.
3. Ordered different beer. Delivered half foam.
4. Ordered unsweetened tea. Delivered sweet tea.
5. Ordered different salmon plate. Delivered cold.
6. Took forever to get out if the restaurant.
Isn’t there an 86 list in the back of the house? Don’t you read it?

First time going since opening 3 months ago. The atmosphere is really nice with an impressive bar and an area for large private groups.
Our server was well trained and knew all the products. It was not very busy but still took a while to get house draft beers. The deep dish pizza came in reasonable time but could have been hotter. The flavor of the sauce and toppings was good.
Overall it was a good experience even if it was pricey. I would definitely go there again and recommend it to friends. I would have given it 4 stars if it didn’t cost so much.

BJ’s was awesome. I had the most amazing Brussel Sprout appetizer you could imagine. A combination of sauté and crispness. I’ll go back just for those. They have a complete range of craft beers from light to Stout and my favorite red and amber ales. For dinner I had the fish tacos… Again, amazing. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Melbourne and will try one closer to home in Orlando.

Had out-​of-​town family in for a visit and were looking for good food and good beer. When I mentioned the Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Cream appetizer it was a no brainer — they’d never been to a BJ’s before and we’ve enjoyed every visit there. My cousin’s wife is gluten-​free and really enjoyed the gluten-​free pizza offered. Burgers were great (Brisket&Bacon burger and Jalapeño burger) and my wife enjoyed the kale salad with shrimp. Great selection of options for eating. Only disappointment was that you were out of the seasonal IPA I wanted to try but it’s not like you don’t have choices there. Almost forgot, my wife is a fan of the Wyder’s Dry Pear Cider. As usual, the service was outstanding.
One additional note (now that I saw the other reviews): The food they serve really does come to your table as advertised (the photographs are representative –nice portions and well assembled).

Great place to grab a bite or a drink. It follows the standard configuration and quality as the others. I found the service to be above standard which is always nice. I recommend it to any fellow traveler.

The burgers were amazing! They have a huge menu and many draft beers to choose from. All six of us were more than pleased. Our waitress Shannon R. was extremely sweet and attentive! No complaints and highly recommended!!!

Experience: I’ve been to a BJ’s before, but a new one opened close to my family’s house and I decided to force them to try it.
Facility: this just opened a few months ago, so it’s pristine. The restaurant feels very open but still a little dim ambience. It has mostly dark woods in the décor. There’s a large bar with about 50 taps, and booths, chairs and tables in the adjacent dining area.
Service: Jasmine was our waitress and she was a sweetie. She did forget our bread and we had to re-​ask for our appetizer after the cooks made a mistake, but other than that, she was a great, friendly waitress.
Food: we thought we were going to order beer, but saw two margaritas we had to try instead. We got an appetizer, but filled up too much to eat our meals. So typical. LOL!
–Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita — ⁵⁄₅ — LOVED this!!! It was just the right balance of tart, spicy and refreshing. It had fresh cucumber and jalapeño slices in it. LOVED
–Watermelon Basil Margarita — ²⁄₅ — Although the flavors were nice, this had a heavy sweet flavor I could not drink. Just too sweet!!! Not sure if they add sugar or it’s the watermelon syrup, but I was looking for a lightly-​sweet watermelon flavor the way fresh watermelon juice is.
–Sriracha Queso Dip with Pork Salsa Verde — ⁵⁄₅ — so good! I loved the Queso and salsa; however, the pork was pretty nonexistent. Still a yummy dish.
Rack of ribs with Root Beer BBQ sauce — these were great! They had to add the root beer sauce on top of the pre-​basted ribs, but it was really good!
–Sides with ribs: Brussel sprouts and French fries — ⁴⁄₅ — I liked both. The fries are thin skinny fries and were lukewarm, but still tasty. The Brussel sprout were not bitter at all and roasted good.
Overall: good food, nice waitress and great drinks!!! I would definitely come back again. Maybe not this location in FL, as I live in NV, but I really like BJs restaurants!

We ordered the quac and chips and moz sticks for appetizers and they were really good. I had the Asian chopped chicken salad and that was delicious. Really fresh crispy and great mix of ingredients. As a last minute impulsive decision we ordered bjs peanut butter s’mores pizookie. My life is changed. I’m not really a huge dessert person but this was prob the best dessert I ever had. I would come back and order the pizookie as my meal. Wow

Had a great time here. Beer is great and food is fresh and reasonable price. I had Shawn as a server he was good. It’s not 15 dollars for a salad try 6 dollars.

I have a big problem with the service at BJ’s. I’ve been there twice for lunch and usually arrive early (11am) to avoid the crowd. Today, a coworker and I came to celebrate Veteran’s day. It took about 10 minutes to get a drink to us and another 45 minutes to get our food (a burger and tacos). You can figure out how much was left of our lunch hour. When I asked about the food, I received an earful about how 20 people just sat down at the same time. This is BS because the place was mostly empty when we arrived. A table next to us had a couple that sat down after us and received their food before us. Must be the luck of the draw with the waiters there. The food was good but I was left with no time to enjoy it.
That was my second attempt at BJs. There will not be a third. This could be a great place if management would step up and get the staffing right.

Beautiful atmosphere and décor. Friendliest bartender named Brittany B. who let us try several beers before ordering. Food was perfect. Whatever reviews had said poor service it must have been a fluke from when they first opened. Definitely come in and eat here! Deep dish pizza is amazing! Thick, tons of toppings, and delicious. Wish I could give this place 6 stars ! Definitely am going to come back.

Love the BJ’s at Daytona, like the one in Kissimmee. My Melbourne BJ’s is getting there. To date I have eaten there 8 times. When it first opened, service was about as bad as it could get. With a lot of turnover, it has gotten much better.
The food is very good, with the Rib Eye being my favorite… California Flatbread and burgers also are excellent.
They carry a wide range of beer, to include my favorite, Cigar City Jai Alai (on tap)!
The BJ’s cellphone App is great. Easy to load and use, it continues to give me discounts though points and specials. The call ahead through the App is also very useful and efficient.

Wow. I just cannot believe I paid $ 15 for a salad. WTF?! It was measly, not fresh, and had a few pieces of ahi in it. This is the last time I will go to this place since it seems like every time I go I pay a lot of money for mediocre food and small portions. The last time I went I paid way too much for a burger that was just «okay». It’s a burger! You put some cheese on it, some bacon, maybe some vegetables and there ya go. Just adding some avocado, maybe some different cheese, and an «organic» vegetable on it doesn’t make it worth almost $ 20.
Seriously, just slapping the word «craft» on anything doesn’t mean you can charge high prices and get away with it for too long. Over time people, who are not idiots, will catch on to you. And yes, they do have a good beer selection… but do so many other places nowadays. It’s not really that big of a deal that they have a million types of beers. You can’t drink them all in one day.
This is a chain, and the food I have gotten here is on par with a Chili’s…another chain. If you go here regularly you likely are:
1) A douche who wears team jerseys more than one day a week
2) A douche with a «phone holster»
3) A douche who thinks that your superior palate for esoteric beers makes you better than everyone else.

The spotty service here limits one’s ability to enjoy the good food.
We’ve now been here twice, and both visits were plagued by the same problem: unresponsive servers who made a lot of errors. Any request a member of our table had — right down to requesting some mustard for a burger — went totally ignored.
The deep dish pizzas are priced high at $ 10 for the smallest one and $ 15 for the second-​smallest, but are tasty nonetheless. Their in-​house beers are awesome.
Hopefully in the future the service catches up to the food, because you need both components to have a successful restaurant.

Everyone was very nice but the food to be honest is just not the greatest. It is good but nothing to write home about. The beer is great ! The desserts are to die for

I do not even know where to begin… I let’s start with the pros… cool place to go if you like beer. They had a ton of beer on tap and they offer a flight of 4, 5 oz pours for $ 7.95. Their happy hour ended at 6:00 pm, which was a bummer (I missed by only a few minutes, because I thought it was 7pm. But it did offer $ 3 for 2 of their craft beers on tap and $ 50 shareable apps, and mini pizzas. I have to admit that’s all the pros I have because the rest of the experience goes down hill :(. Mom and I opted for the calamari for an app. You know it’s bad when the server comes over with her face squished up because the food was burnt. She stated it never comes out looking that dark. It was greasy, gummy, and not crispy at all. I asked the server for some recommendations, she stated after 2 weeks she had only tasted 1 meal and that the restaurant did not offer the servers samples of the food before the restaurant opened… We move on the meal… The deep dish sweet pig pizza. I had high hopes for this one as many people there ordered the pizza and it looked decent. However, I was sadly disappointed. Now I like butter as much as the next southern girl, but I don’t want my pizza to taste like it. Not to mention as I ate the meal, I kept thinking that something was off with the taste but could not put my finger on it. We then looked a the menu… and they forgot to add the pineapple to the pizza which was clearly in the description (and I loves my pineapple). So disappointed. I forgot to mention we had the stuffed mushrooms, which were just ok. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because the server without me prompting, or asking her. Found the manager and was able to have the calamari and pizza taken off the bill. Kudos to her! The mixed drinks are also pricey, pomegranted martini (which tasted like a tart slurpee) was $ 10. I wanted to like this place, but sadly I don’t think I’ll return.

Late Sunday night and hungry, I think all Melbourne residents have ran into the problem. what’s open? Aside from the very played out TGIFs, Applebees, etc. we gave one of the new restaurants by the mall a chance and BJ’s kitchen is open til 12 am on Sunday!
The atmosphere of this place is awesome. A mixed vibe of Yard House and World of Beer.
Menu has something for everyone, and although it’s not «Cheddars cheap» you will get every dollars worth with the portions sizes and quality served.
The Rewards program is also a nice little niche as well!
Will absolutely return again, and I hope they have the Sunday Ticket coming up this September!
Update ⁷⁄₃₁
Went back again for soup and appetizers.
I would skip on their soups, nothing special for the $$
Mac n cheese snack was also below average, but stuffed artichokes were great!

Went here for a soft opening, so we were only exposed to a limited menu. What we had was really good and everything that went out looked nice as well. The portions were huge and the and we had plenty to take home. I’d like to go back and try their wings, pizza and beer. Definitely a new spot on my rotation of places to eat around here.

This has always been a family favorite, but up until now was only when we went to Orlando. This location seems a tad smaller than their Orlando Millenia location, but the food (Peanut Butter S’mores Pizookie!!!) food is spot on for BJs. Try each of the beers if you have a driver ;)
Definitely some issues with service, but I went during opening week, so that is expected.
