- JJamesOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoMy wife took me there for my birthday. The steaks were very well cooked and seasoned. The service was fast but still with care. The bartender made me a old fashioned drink and it was the best I've had in a while. Will go again.More infoBraised OnionPrice: Moderate• Comfort Food• Ocala•4.6

- AAbbeyTampa / Central Florida West •4 reviews5.0Dined on May 2, 2025We had a fantastic experience at BJ’s Brewhouse in Gainesville! They graciously accommodated our large party during a very busy graduation weekend, and everything went smoothly. All of our orders were correct, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating—especially helpful with dietary needs, including gluten-free options. The food was great, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Highly recommend for both small gatherings and large celebrations!More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - GainesvillePrice: Moderate• American• Gainesville•4.2
