   Food took a while to come out and when it finally did it was cold. Our waiter ( I can't remember his name ) was apologetic and did get a dish removed from our table but it still was not a pleasant experience.

   Nice please as always, good food. TERRIBLE pick up service/ORDER TO GO. Waited 45 minutes for a margarita to go. No manager ever showed up…left totally unsatisfied.

   My dinner started out with the waiter knocking over a full glass of ice water on to my lap along with glass as it shattered. No one came to help him and he was trying to clean it up and I asked if I could have a towel and he brought me a cloth napkin which did not help as I was soaked. I moved over in the booth as the entire side was sent and glass still on the floor. Still no one came to help. We had already placed our order and when our food arrived and I took a bite out of my pizza, I had to pull a long hair that was embedded in my pizza out of my mouth. I called the waiter over and said to just make me another one to go as I lost my appetite, but no hair please. When I got my bill, the pizza was not taken off my bill and only a kids meal for $8. The pizza was $16.79. I asked the waiter to adjust with all that happened to take the pizza off. He said his manager could only take the kids meal off? I then asked for the manager and she did end up taking the pizza off but we paid for all the rest of our meal (one other and two drinks). This entire bill should have been complimented under the circumstances. I will not be going back to this BJ's.

   Great value, food and terrific service. Extra fun time due to the Dodger game. Crowd was very enthusiastic.

   We were as soon as our reservation time was up. Obviously , BJ's is very popular. We seated in a spacious booth. The waiter was very polite and friendly.

   The fact that Bussers bring bus tubs on floor and out on seats still shocks me. Throwing plates and silverware loud and bottom of tub on chair unsanitary. Filet was overcooked well done we ordered medium rare - prime ribs undercooked clearly filet was ready long before the entrees. Appetizer came to table before drinks - had to ask for silverware after halfway done with appetizer. Server says sorry I have a lot of tables?

   Came and got the $13 pazzookie meal deal with bottomless soup and salad. Wife got the mini pizza with salad pazzokie deal. Well worth the value, but our server, Bonnie, was amazing. She was very attentive, friendly, and helpful with questions we had and suggestions. I couldn't make it thru to taste all the soup options so Bonnie was kind enough to give me a soup (that i didn't get to try) and salad to-go. Bonnie made our experience that much better.

   Food was okay. Spin dip served cold. Baby back ribs not very tender and had an odd flavor. Avocado egg rolls were good. Broccoli cheese soup really good. Salad was crisp and served nice and cold. Server was good, but very busy. Apps, salads, and entree served at the same time, even after requesting apps arrive before entree.

    Except for forgotten silverware, It was great! Server was attentive and friendly — we appreciate how she checks on us from time to time. Had a bit of wait for our food but we kind of expected it. Overall our family had a nice Sunday dinner. A bit expensive for us, but food and service made it worth it. Thanks.
