BJs Restaurant & Brewhouse - (Near San Mateo, CA)

4 /5 Dave Haw: Went Friday at 630pm with reservations. We had to wait 15 minutes. We were finally seated and enjoyed a birthday dinner of Prime Rib. Our server, Savanah was trying to be attentive but she was slammed with some contrary diners who needed a lot of help. She did her best and apologized for her delayed response. We didnt really notice, she was doing great! The Prime Rib dinners arrived as requested with the meat properly served as requested. The medium was just past pink. The medium rare was pink. Perfection. Id go after 7pm when the lines were gone and tables were available. The service was very good for such a large restaurant/ bar. The food is good comfort food with plenty of variety for every taste.

5 /5 Trey Delaplaine: I am one of the regulars here. Affordable food, good value if you take advantage of all of the deals. Happy hour deals, the daily deals, the beer club. All good value! And pretty good food for the price too. I would eat out with friends a lot less often if this place wasnt around. I particularly recommend going on Wednesdays when any of the burgers are only $12 and come with bottomless fries. I am a fan of most of the BJs signature beers. The pizookies are all excellent. The fries here are good, and though I dont get them often, so are the deep dish pizzas! One of my friends even said this chain has his favorite pizza. I also think while the quality is pretty consistent at other BJs Ive been to, the bridgepoint location is the best in terms of service! Excellent team.

2 /5 David Mortaz: 4 of us stopped by here for dinner and some beers! They have a decent deletion of Ale and other beers but the food was average at best. We had some appetizers along w 2 salmon dishes and 2 orders of wings! The boneless wings were so salty that we could not finish them. Don’t get the buffalo sauce in the wings at all! Salmon was also very bland!

3 /5 Ricky Da Luz: We walked in and was seated pretty quickly as we just came in after the dinner rush and only just the two of us. We just ordered a pizookie for a little sweet treat. Our waiter notified us that he was a waiter in training so we weren’t expecting a perfect service. However we waited over 45 minutes for just a single cookie!! We saw other tables receive their appetizers and entrees and finish them before we got our food. When we finally received our food the pizookie had obviously been sitting out for a while as it wasn’t as warm as I’ve had before but still enjoyable. The waiter and the waitress he was shadowing apologized profusely. We understood that it was a busy time and it was a trainee but it was just unfortunate that it happened :/ Additionally, my fork was not properly cleaned as it was crusty in the wrapped cloth napkin.

5 /5 3dogs1monkey: On July 4th on the way back to Fremont from Purisima Creek Trail, Halfmoon Bay, we decided to try the $13 menu from this restaurant since we did try it last time were there. We got to be seated right away, there are quite a few people on Friday. Our young server were quite pleasant and attentive. We ordered the California Pizza on flat bread which we liked last time. My wife tried the southern fried chicken and I wanted the soups and salads. My wife like the pizza very much and the fried chicken, she said it was so moist and tender unlike any other fried chicken breast dry and tastless. I had a taste and it was very good, the corn and the mash potatoes were very tasty. My caesar salad was cold and seasoning to my liking, the chicken tortilla soup is flavorful just like the soups in good restaurants in Chihuahua and Guadalajara I used to eat. I tried the clam chowder and I was glad it wasnt thick, or watery and rich like some other restaurant. Its just right with some tabasco. There are plenty of clams meat and little pieces of potato. The dessert chocolate chip ice cream on some cake that I can never remember the name was very nice. All included. After a nice hiking on beautiful trail of Purisima, this meal really hit our spot and the prices were amazing. The mobil pay is quite convenient and quick. This is the first time I’ve been in one of these BJ restaurants. This restaurant is in a big shopping center with plenty of places to park. The place is very nice and clean inside, all tables are far from each others so we can chat away without anyone noticing LOL. The menu is quite excellent with many things to choose from and the prices are quite reasonable, no wonder some restaurants are always busy. Monday through Friday they have special menu with dessert included which is excellent. I ordered Jambalaya, my wife ordered the seared ahi salad. We ordered the flat bread California pizza as appetizers to try and it’s so tasty and light. The Jambalaya wasn’t runny with sauce, different but extremely delicious since I’ve tried many places and I love this dish. I liked this one here a lot. My wife’s salad was so good that she ate it all and didn’t let me try any. My other family members other different dishes and they all liked it. The signature dessert here was quite excellent. I’m going to try the soup and salad all you can eat. The soup and salad looked so tempting. Definitely will try BJ again with other dishes. The young lady server was so pleasant, attentive and fast with everything.
