   Too much black pepper on all the food, so much the black pepper overpowers the food tastes.

   Been to BJs a few times and did not like the quality of the food. Been to many BJs throughout the north of California and this location by far is the most disappointing. Good every time is not tasty. Not presented well either.

   The temperature of the restaurant was cold. They put us near the door and the employees kept going in and out of the door which was cold. There was no reason to use that because there were no customers on the patio. Food was great. The server was great.

   I was really not happy with my pizza. Almost no cheese or sauce and the meat was kinda burnt. Service was fantastic though.
