BJ's Restaurant

 

 

Being a chain restaurant, these are basically all the same, but this is my local BJ's so this is the one I will review. The place is clean and the decor modern. I've never had a complaint with service. The food is pretty good. The biggest selling point is the utterly impressive beer selection, particularly Belgians. My only word of caution is in regard to the house beers, which are utterly boring and one-dimensional.

A good choice if in the South Center Area. I've been to BJ's in other locations while traveling out of town and it's always been a solid choice when you want decent pizza and good beer. It's a brew chain, like Gordon Bierch and Rock Bottom, etc., so some beers are consistent while branch brewers have some liberty in creation for seasonal and experimental brews. I had a pretty good nitro stout and some pretty tasty deep dish pizza. They have about 20 beers on tap and around 70-80 in the bottle (if I am remembering correctly) including the usual NW Hop-bombs, a good selection of Belgians, and some more exotic ones. I'd recommend this place if in the area because even if you're not a fan of their house brewed beers they have a great bottle selection and tasty food. Plus, even though it's a chain based out of state they carry some of the local stuff (Elysian, Pyramid, Pike, Maritime, etc.) which was a nice touch.
