BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

We had the best waitress! She’s been in pearland two weeks from Waco and pearland is lucky to have her! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Awesome experience! The jambalaya is great– a bit spicy but full of flavor.

I like BJ;s Brewhouse. My experience with them in California and Texas is that they are consistently good, with a good variety of options, and Hubby loves the brews. This one was no exception. We decided to come here when having dinner with another couple since we knew everyone could find something they like, and we all did. I had the salmon and it was cooked well, and I easily substituted mashed potatoes for the side. The waitress was efficient and friendly, but not pushy. The boys had some beers and the girls some wine, and all was good. We ended up sitting at the end of our meal and talking for a LONG time. After checking on us a couple times, the waitress just left us alone and let us chat, which I appreciated.
It was yet another good experience, which I have come to expect at this chain.

Popular place. It was packed at 6:15pm on a Saturday. The wait time was 20 – 25 minutes. It looked like tables were ready for customers but they were slow to seat them. We spotted tables/​booths open for 10 minutes. Food was as good as expected, above average. Wait service was good. Would return there again.

While trying to decide on a restaurant where I could find a dish that would meet the dietary requirements I needed that day, I thought about BJ’s. I hadn’t been there in a while and remembered that they had a nice variety so we gave it a go.
I selected from the Enlightened Entrees menu of low cal options. My choice was the North Beach Mahi Mahi & Shrimp with couscous, and since I don’t eat shrimp I had to sub it and there wasn’t much that I could have since I’m not much of a veggie eater but I was fasting from certain foods at the time. I chose to sub the shrimp for… wait for it… brussel sprouts lol! A fast can really open your mind up to some different ways of eating! The waiter says «uh ok, yes ma’am», and looks like I’m the dumbest person he’s come in contact with all night. Yeah I know, I’m short changing myself on the price of the meal but I don’t like shrimp. Go put the order in!
After all was said and done, the food was really good. The fish was well cooked as well as the couscous & veggies were so flavorful with red peppers, olives, and spicy garlic. Might even be good with the shrimp, if you like that ;)

Cannot begin to describe how annoyed I was at the horrible service when it came to any waitress or host. The only reason I keep coming back is because of their amazing pizookie’s. Wish these people weren’t so rude, if this place does not replace their staff immediately they will eventually close down because the service is just awful. What’s a restaurant with great food but horrible atmosphere? Last Tuesday I was with my gal and we waited about 25 minutes to get served, and 10 minutes to get drinks, although it was simply water. Food came out after 30 minutes even though it was super slow, as you can see from previous reviews, I’m definitely not over exaggerating, their wait staff is trash.

Pro: One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Clean
Cons: The place was not to crowded but took a good 5 – 10 mins before a waiter even stopped and acknowldeged us.

I placed an order online for Baked Potato with add on cheese and bacon. Plus sour cream and onions and all that goody stuff. I was really craving a perfect baked potato night. I came home with only the cheese and bacon. No sour cream, no onions…
What’s a baked potato without that??? NOTHING.
I called the manager and told him about my situation. He said I could bring it back and he’ll switch it for another one. He wasn’t so sincere about it though, as if it was my fault, and not theirs.
Im already home. Why should I have to make a double trip because they can’t read an order online?
Guess I’ve learned my lesson and will always check my food before leaving.

I came in later after a few friends had grabbed the table for us. However, the waiter did not acknowledge my presence or even bother to ask for my drink order or offer a set of silverware. We ordered the pizookie platter (it came to be about $ 22 total) to share between the five of us, and we still could not finish it — although it was a delicious dessert to a previously-​filling meal.
I was excited to try out this location after a few disappointing experiences at the Katy location. I certainly won’t be going out of my way to come back to BJ’s, especially for the service. Come not for the service but, if you must, instead for the food.

Usually the service is fantastic. Usually the food is fantastic. Most of the time the beer is great.
Today was not one of those days. It was a busy Sunday, but we waited at our table for 30 minutes and hadn’t got a drink yet. The waitress had our drinks on a tray, and stopped at other tables, chatted, took orders, everything other than giving us out drinks. She stood at the table next to ours and talked, left, cane back with a menu, talked more. All while holding our drinks, and not turning around and giving them to us. 30 minutes, and no drinks.
I won’t be returning. Which sucks, because this is usually one of my favorite places.

Called at 2 pm on a Monday to ask for a reservation for 7 pm for 6 people, was told they don’t take reservations for less than 8 and since it was a Monday we wouldn’t need one. That was a lie. Got there right at 7 and wasn’t seated till 7:43 cause it was so busy. Apparently there was a pizza special and a football game so that’s why it was packed. They ran out of all the pizzas that were on sale so that was a little annoying. Service was fine, food took too long to come out. Overall it was a mediocre trip.

My boyfriend and I come here often to get the pazookis (spl?) but decided to grab a full meal one day. I got the clam chowder which was awesome, along with a baked potato which uniquely had Alfredo sauce in it. Everything in my meal was fantastic. My boyfriend really enjoyed the chicken wings he ordered which had the root beer sauce that they have been advertising. It was surprisingly really good. Our waitress Kemi was very helpful and attentive to our needs. My drink was never empty through the whole meal and she was extremely friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend asking for her on your next visit.
Don’t forget to get a caramel pazooki for dessert!

I’m going to try to grade this review not based on the fact that my burger was not done properly initially and instead of remaking it they just haphazardly threw the correct toppings on what was then a cold beef patty and brought it back out with cold fries.
Terribly disappointed. I tried the guacamole bacon cheeseburger which is one of the new specialty items. The guacamole was great and the only good thing about the burger. The bacon was not cooked all the way (raw pork– smh), nor were the toppings that comes on it fresh (pepper jack cheese, tomato, jalapenos, chipotle mayo).
Moral of the story stick to the pizza and hops! You can’t go wrong!

I went here with my boyfriend and the food was not satisfying at all. My boyfriend got the deep dish ziti and it was ALL grease. Just a whole bowl of grease equivalent to a portion of soup. I got the chicken wraps and it tasted off, couldn’t finish it. The only thing that could top off all the horrible dishes was the pizookie. Definitely just come to BJs for dessert.

Great service John Mark was our server, he was very courteous and respectful. He kept our drinks full and was quick with our order. Excellent service and we will definitely drive back to this location.

After being put off by what I thought was mediocrity from another BJ’s chain, I decided to give BJ’s another try.
There are a few things I really enjoy about this restaurant: 1) the deep dish pizza, 2) the Pizookies (OMG salted caramel), and 3) the fairly interesting selection of house beers. All three of those things happen to be their signature items. As an added bonus, 4) the menu is about 500 pages long, so it’s group friendly as far as selection goes.
They offer a selection of perhaps 10 different beer types, so you can generally find something that pairs well with your meal. Get a flight to sample your favs.
My husband loves to start with the avocado egg rolls, which are basically avocado bites fried in egg roll wrapping and served up with a dipping sauce. (Personally, I prefer the potato skins.) The deep dish pizzas are unlike others I’ve tried — they’re less pie-​like and more pillowy, which I adore. My favorite is the Pepperoni Extreme, which has sliced, diced, & julienned pepperonis. A small (6 slice) can definitely feed two people; order a medium (8 slice) and you’ll be taking home leftovers.
And fiiiiinally… the Pizookies. Usually I don’t order dessert, much less a cookie, but this… this is different. The warm, gooey, caramelized-​on-​the-​outside Pizookie is to die for. The salted caramel flavor is my absolute favorite, but the triple chocolate and white chocolate Macadamia come in close behind. You can get a free mini on your birthday, too!
I’ve had other items, like the burger and the deep dish ravioli (which is more like a lasagna baked in a pie-​like pan), and they’re solid. But they’ll not why I keep returning.
Besides that, I’ve gotten great service and I’ve had unbelievably slow service, and I’ve always been seated quickly. The next time I would like to spend all my calories in one sitting, I will definitely be back.

This is a great hang out spot! Great drinks and a great social and kick back setting. The food, however, is very subpar. It sounds great in the menu and then you get it and it’s like «eh.» One example is the gourmet Mac and cheese, sounds delicious right? Negative. It’s dry as all get out. Is there really cheese in there? One can only wonder.
On the drink side you can’t go wrong. Not only do they have standard drinks but they have their drinks to choose from. But beware of bar seating, the service isn’t too wonderful in the and you feel almost ignored. Just wait for a table, it’ll be worth the wait.

order take out-​Lett wrap chk for $ 12…no chicken??? So sad. Only 5 lettuce leaflets. good thing i hv reserve stash of ramen noodle.
At least the manager is very apologetic and willing to reimburst my money… not my day today. So sad.

Unilocal says I keep coming back and wants to know why.
Coming to BJ’s is typically a group decision when I’m in Sugar Land. So that is positive #1 — good for groups. This last visit was a group of 10 and we only had to wait about 10 minutes. They also didn’t charge the typical group standard tip. I don’t know if that was a mistake or not.
While it is good for groups in size, I would have to say our server was a bit slow. We were here rather late so maybe they let some of their staff go for the night by the time we got there.
Why else would I choose BJ’s? They have a large menu with a nice variety of foods. So one person can get a burger, another person can get a salad and someone else could get pizzas. They have alcoholic beverages and make their own cream soda and root beers.
Location, location, location! This spot has a couple of pluses location-​wise. There is a portal in reach and it is right by 59 and 6. Our group usually consists of people from various parts of the greater Houston area and everyone can easily reach a freeway to get home from this location.
We got here at around 10 p.m. and the parking lot was still pretty packed. There was still a short wait at this time, most likely because we were a large group. This is the only BJ’s I have visited. Will I visit the one closer to home based on this location? Sorry, but most likely not. This is definitely a place for groups, families, or people who can’t decide on a «cuisine».

Whenever I ate here, the service was always good and their food wasn’t bad either. I haven’t been here in some time, but their seasonal beers were always awesome! Being seasonal and made in-​house, their beer selection is always changing; which is good. Their October beers were always my favorite!
Being vegan, they don’t really serve anything I can eat anymore, hence my reason for not frequenting there as much. As often as I say I’ll go in for a beer one day, the loud crowds always steer me away.
Good for groups and families, but if you’re looking for a less populated place to just get a beer, I’d suggest going elsewhere.

This wasn’t my regular BJ’s but I was on this side of town so I decided to drop in.
I was seated immediately and the waitress took my drink order and I ordered a salad and appetizer. My salad came out and I finished it before my appetizer? They were both prepared well and were delicious.
Now this is where the problem came in. I am a BJ’s Reward customer and introduced a coupon for free Pizookie and I showed it to my waitress and she took my info and said every thing was fine. When I checked out she added my total to my reward points, which she did but in the process of giving me my free dessert they deducted 100 points from my reward account without acknowledging be of it. The coupon state that the dessert was free if I had a purchase of $ 9.95 or greater. My bill was over $ 20?
I had to call customer service to get my points reinstated. I don’t know if it was an honest mistake but I did say it was after coupon.
In the future I will definitely have to watch my transactions and ask more questions.
