   Poor service, the food was farbbelow average. Paid 35 dollars for a prime rib that was halfway inedible due to the amount of gristle and fat and was also overcooked ( we had a large table and all 4 of the prime rib meals were the same, terrible quality) . Veggies were still raw and salads were delivered after the main course. Waitress was not personable or interactive at all. Really poor experience. We won't be back. This isn't the first time we have had a poor experience but it will be the last.

   Having a reservation doesn't seem to help - last two times I've reserved with Open Table and arrived on time, they made us wait. Waiter didn't show up for nearly ten minutes after we were seated. Food did not come out as ordered and was not very good.

   Thank you for sharing your experience Peter. 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.

   2 dinners were excellent, the prime rib dinners. The chicken in the SAL’s brewhouse chicken was horrible. It was like it was boiled. Rubbery, no flavor. The mushroom sauce was awesome, as were the sides.

   The food was a bust. Wish I ordered smth else. Had filet minon with baked potato. Very hard to chew meat, bland potato. Ordered it with butter, sour cream and cheese. They put cheese inside the potato but butter and sour cream in a separate container. Hello! You put butter inside the hot potato, then sour cream and cheese. Wont return, quite a disappointment.

   BJ’s is always a reliable restaurant for our family when out of town. Tried the new cinnamon roll pozookie and it disappointed.

   I took my husband there for his 83rd birthday. He had never been there before and was impressed as soon as we walked in the door! Our server, Ryan W. was fantastic, treated us like he really wanted to please us - and he DID! My drink was an amazing surprise and delicious! The food was also delicious! The Pizookie (with a candle) topped off our fabulous meal. My husband kept saying, "I really like it here"! We will definitely be back!

    Our waiter for our table of 10 was genuine, gave great suggestions and worked hard making us comfortable and happy. Didn’t remember his name but he said he just came over from working years at the garden of olives (heee hee). Thank you for helping us celebrate our son’s graduation from U of Oregon a great meal and celebration.
