About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Going to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Bowie, Maryland, was a really bad experience. We sat there for about 20 minutes, and no one even looked our way. We didn't get any drinks or a chance to order food because no server came to our table. It was like we weren't even there. After waiting so long, I finally talked to someone who seemed to be in charge. But they weren't helpful at all and didn't seem to care that we had been ignored. We left feeling really upset and like they didn't want our business. We ended up going to Longhorn Steakhouse instead, and it was a completely different story. Right away, they were friendly, got us seated, and took care of us the whole time we were there. It just showed how badly we were treated at BJ's. I definitely wouldn't recommend going to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Bowie, MD, based on what happened to us. Waiting that long to be ignored, and then having a bad experience with the staff, is just not okay. You're better off going to a place that will actually treat you like a customer.

    Thank you for sharing your experience Patrice. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.

    Unlike our prior visit, the energy level in the place seemed rather low this time. While pleasant, the food and service felt equally lackluster. Perhaps it was our late, 9 pm seating, or just simply a slow midweek night.

    Alan, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations this time. We strive for high energy and great service, and your insights are valuable as we work to improve. Thank you for sharing, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

    Although BJ's in Bowie is a chain restaurant, it does not affect the service and food quality. The food is always great at this location, and the service is top-notch. I can always count on fast and friendly service. Before heading to a concert this weekend, my family and I ate at BJ's. We were a large party, and the food came out on time and all hot. This is often a problem for some restaurants when dealing with parties of 5 and more, but not BJ's. I highly recommend it.

    Thank you, Giani! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience at BJ's in Bowie. Our team works hard to ensure great food and service, especially for larger parties. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon, especially before your next concert!

    Our waitress was Precious and she definitely went above and beyond. We had a party of 15 actually and she did not disappoint from the greeting, to placing the order, changing on us throughout our time eat, and just being welcoming and warm.

    Man ol man. We asked for a circle booth because we were a party of 7. A manager said no. Ok we tried to work with it. We were body to body sitting at the table. Then , The waitress took our children’s order as soon as we sat. Loved it! TOOK 50 minutes to get their food and it was incomplete! The entire table didn’t order food yet .
