The HHCofM made an appearance here Friday 4/15 - yep- tax day. BJ's is a corporate brewhouse chain located in a large mall. There are multiple large flat screen TV's showing sports events all throughout the place. If your not into that they have a large outdoor patio in front that looks pretty cool for warm evenings. The place was fairly busy in the bar area- but we nabbed a table. As our crew grew we were then moved to a large table in the dining room. We felt that was a nice accomodation made very quickly and we had made no reservations, so seating 15 of us on the fly showed their flexibility.

The Happy Hour offering was a mixed bag. $1 off beer & cocktails, $2 off shareable appetizers and brick oven pizzas. Some of our group was disappointed in the low $ amount off the pricey alcohol items and still calling it Happy Hour...the appetizers were pretty large so that turned out to be a good deal.

Bottom Line:
The service was spotty, the food was pretty good, the drinks were overpriced.

Our overall rating on BJ's was :
6.0 out of 10
