BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse — Restaurant in Roseville

It's Saturday night and a birthday celebration for our party of 5. Our birthday girl chose BJ's Brewhouse Restaurant in Roseville. Still a good choice in our local franchise restaurants. Being a franchise ensures that the menu and service will stay consistent in this trendy restaurant. Tonight was no exception.

Our reservations we're for 5 p.m. and we were seated promptly upon our arrival. Tonight's server was Nikki. She was friendly, professional, kept our drinks replenished, and give us plenty of time to make our menu selections. We took our time with the abundance of menu items. Also changing our minds on our selections. Not a problem for Nikki. Nicki never forgot us and correctly took care of everybody's requests. That's no easy task in my family. We spent 3 hours with dinner and conversation and never felt rushed to leave.

This evening we ordered 2 Classic ribeye dinners. You have your choice from a plethora of sides. They chose baked potato, asparagus, and honey Sriracha brussel sprouts. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts, sweet, spicy, and delicious. One order of double bone-in pork chop with mashed potatoes and asparagus. One order of Mediterranean Pita tacos and one of shrimp arugula Pita tacos.

The taco dishes come with unique side dish called seasonal Bistro grains. This tasty side dish is a combination of roasted sweet peppers, red onion, and corn. Then married with tasty spices, quinoa, farro, and black beans. We felt this dish was over salted. The Bistro grains is served cold, but I prefer to have it warmed. Which BJ's took care of for me.

Tonight for dessert, 3 orders of the always popular Pizookie. This treat is your choice of cookie baked in a pie tin. Then topped with a scoop of ice cream. You can order this delight in full or mini sizes. Yum

Tonight's pluses, service service service, cleanliness/consistency, steaks cooked to perfection, honey Sriracha brussel sprouts, Pizookie. Manager checked in on our table.

Tonight's minuses, over-salted seasonal Bistro grains, over roasted (limp) asparagus, tile floor near entrance, decaffeinated coffee that tastes like battery acid. No longer brew their own beers.

BJ's is trendy, popular, crowded, and noisy. Having said that it's well maintained with clean bathrooms and we'll staffed. They have a full sized bar with a large assortment of beers. Although they no longer brew them at this location. Note of caution the tile floors at the entrance are extremely slippery. Yours truly nearly took a nose dive.

A note of journalistic transparency: I have two family members that happened to work at this restaurant. As always please like this review if it was...

1/20/2023 Last Saturday night my husband, son, his girlfriend and myself went to bjs Roseville location #436, as we do almost every week. After being seated it took a few minutes for our waitress Ariana S to come by the table to say she would be right with us. It was several minutes before she came to take our orders. We ordered two waters, two regular sodas and one diet soda along with our food order. We made it clear that we wanted our salads before our entrees. After some time the sodas came. The diet was not and only one water came. I didn't notice it was a regular soda until later, the missing water was mentioned immediately. It was many minutes before it came, at this point we are concerned about the salads coming with the meal instead of before. Ariana S is asked about the salads and we are assured that they will arrive before our entrees. Many more minutes and two and a half entrees of the four are delivered. No Salads ! While the waiter that delivered part of our order went to check on the salads and the missing entrees. I went to speak to the manager. I was told that this is just something that happens when they get busy, the salad makers fall behind or perhaps our salads went to another table that had ordered the same salads. In my opinion, this was not the proper response. Having salads come after the entrees is not acceptable. I was just given excuses for why that happened. The manager went back to the kitchen and our last entree and a half came out. The salads came out and three were wrong and the wedge salad barely had anything on it. The entrees were warm not hot. We were at a four seat table and there just wasn't room to comfortably fit the entrees and the late arriving salads. The manager never came back to see how things were going at our table and the waitress did not check in on us. My son had ordered the prime rib dinner, the waitress didn't seem to know it came with a salad, because she asked him if he wanted to add a salad. The dinner also comes witha pizookie which wasn't offered until just prior to the check. Our normal way is to order the pizookies is a few minutes into the meal when a waiter usually stops by to make sure we have everything we need, because of the time it takes to make them. This timing works very well for us. My son who enjoys the pizookie turned it down at that point, it was getting late. It was especially frustrating because I could see a different waiter with a large party and a four top, getting their orders and drinks to them in a timely manner. They even got refills. It was like we were in an...

We are always a patron of Bj's but after this food poisoning over weekend with my family, we might reconsider. Last Saturday, we celebrated our son's baseball game. He had 2 RBI's from his team's score of 4. What a good day to eat out in one of his favorite restaurants. We had an online reservation and was seated immediately after arrival. Ambiance of the place was so so. Nothing special that day. Service was okay and fast. Our drinks came first and our server got it wrong already which should have been a clear indication on how the meal experience would go. We ordered 1 regular lemonade, 1 strawberrry lemonade, 1 kid's size sprite & 1 kids' size Dr.Pepper. However, 2 Strawberry Lemonade we're given and he indicated he wasn't informed, were in fact he was the one who took the order. It was corrected after. Our food came then. A personalized 5 meat pizza with some additional veggies, a mix of chicken wings ( dry rub & sauce coated), which looks surprising as it had burned marks ( see attached food photos), kids meal of Pepperoni Pizza & regular fries & Corn Dog with regular fries ( looked double fry as it appeared darker & drier). We ate with so much delight & trusted everything was good. We topped off our meal with their famous trio pizzokies special. It was supersweet & a little moist than usual. The dine in experience was good as we have everyone in the family enjoying their meal. Upon arrival, everyone was estatic & full. We rested and watch some shows. After some time, our youngest son who had the corn dog & fries, complained of stomacheache & feeling nauseated. We checked on him and lo & behold he got some projectile vomiting going on. He have to rush to the bathroom & relieve himself both eays. The whole Saturday evening until now Monday, he has to endure nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Missed his school for this same reason. My husband and I who shared the all 5 meat Pizza and wings felt it's effect Sunday dawn until now. Hubby missed work for this reason too. Thank God our eldest son, was spared as he got his order looking fresh from all of us. We are writing this review to raise awareness to this particular establishment to look more on your sanitation & food handling practices as FOOD POISOINING is a very avoidable matter. Lives are greatly affected with this health concern, so please ensure everyone from your establishment practice & adhere to the standards...
