BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

Friends and I went to hit a quick bite here. Their happy hour specials were really great. For $3 you get chips and salsa with guacamole. They just keep it coming too. Was a great deal.

The mini pizzas are normally $13 but happy hour they are half off. I got the house pizza and the Buffalo chicken pizza. The pizzas were really good and decent price for $7 a piece. I definitely wouldn’t pay full for them though

I ordered a house red ale that was on happy hour for $5 and it was a good beer at great price.

Service was pretty great

First time ever coming here, we had a new server that was being shadowed  but it didn’t damper our experience at all…. We had a great time…. But my husband noticed a totally different server who was grabbing his tables drinks on the rim of the glass….(( he stopped after a while))Now my husband was in the service industry for many many years and that is a huge no no ….  But other then that it’s a great place just make sure you keep a eye out for how your order is being handled.

Delicious beer menu….great variety of entrees…. multiple types of seating options…and attentive waiters..BJs has always been a great place for us to eat.

I’ve been to BJs multiple times by now and finally decided to put pen to paper…or finger to phone?

The one “appetizer” that never fails are the bread bowl soup options. Absolutely fantastic…each one. I’ve tried the tomato/basil, chili, broccoli cheddar, and the tortilla soup options, each one equally filling and delicious (even tho my personal faves are the tomato and broccoli options). The bread is perfectly toasted with a delectable taste of garlic with each bite. Every time I visit BJs…the bread bowl is a MUST.

I’ve sampled the wings…the deep dish pizza…tavern pizza…pasta. Every single dish has a depth of flavor. It tastes fresh, every single ingredient shines and the flavors are not complicated.

I do like their sitting arrangements. When you enter, you can see different sections and each section produces it’s own ambience. There’s the bar area with all the TVs for the late night drinkers who might get a little loud. Then the one-seat booths for the couples on dates one section over. Then the larger booths/tables for bigger groups. And then on it’s own, you have a side where it’s obviously for families with little ones. It’s very well thought out.

Their beer menu cannot be compared….their beer options are the perfect complements to their meals. The beers do not feel separate but part of the meal. I drank two 8% glasses and left feeling…well amazing.

Top quality ingredients…diverse menu… appealing environment…this is a must stop if you’re from McAllen or just passing by.

The service was AMAZING Leslie was fast, attentive, and knew everything about every beer we asked about. We had the rib special which was a great deal and the happy hour was even better! The servings are VERY generous we had alot of left overs. I will be back again and asking for Leslie!

Jeremiah (our waiter) IS the best we’ve ever had. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I have several food allergies and he went out of his way to explain alternatives to items and the manager came out and he explained one item might cause an allergic reaction and made adjustments for me to ensure I was able to enjoy my food. While I truly understand not every establishment can be so accommodating (which is why we rarely go out) they made sure to go above and beyond and the amount of grace they showed really made my evening. I cannot say enough about the customer service from Jeremiah- he’s a wonderful person! Thank y’all so much for going out of your way!
