    First of all the smell when you first walk in is like musty. Lingers throughout the restaurant. Our server was not very professional acted more like we were buds. We ordered 2 starry and 1 club soda. 3 starry came to the table. When we told him he said "oh I got distracted and I straw tested them but tried 2 not all 3" I'm sorry excuse me that's gross. Meals came out, my salmon dish was missing the couscous told the food runner right away she said she wasn't sure it came with it. So server came back and said ohhh yeh cook forgot it he's making some now. I had to wait about 5 minutes for it to come out. Server took my plate because I put it to the end of the table. He proceeded to take my husbands plate without asking and he wasn't finished. Just poor service all around. I now remember why we haven't been there in awhile.

    Blonde fish and chips

    I actually really am glad I came here! I went to a BJ's years ago and it was so-so. This was probably 2012 and practically a lifetime ago. So after seeing a movie and wondering where to go for dinner, I decided to just give it a shot. Inside decor definitely gave off some cheesecake factory vibes. The menu also was so varied that it also gave off cheesecake factory vibes . I had the fish and chips which were good but not the best I've had. However I thoroughly enjoyed the wedge salad. It was really good and plentiful! Boyfriend and I enjoyed the Mac and cheese and couscous balls. So good! In the end we were tempted by the pizookies. Turns out on Tuesday, they're half off. That's possibly the reason the place was so busy on a Tuesday night. They were delicious!! So very much worth it. After this experience, I definitely want to come back and sample more of the desserts! Definitely the food too with more wedge salads. Service was great and appreciated!

    Do not order sirloin there. My husband ordered combo: sirloin steak and chicken Sirloin was not eatable. The whole 8oz of fat, no meat. He didn't want to say anything to the server. You all know why? When she brought our check. I told her the steak was horrible, only fat for $27. I told her we didn't need another steak, all that fat that they served him we are taking for our dogs. She said she was going to let them know at the kitchen. But it didn't reflect our check at all. Which I think she should have been taking the steak out of the bill. We will NEVER go back to that place!!!

    Sweet Pig Deep Dish

    This was my first time visiting this particular BJ's location. We stopped by to grab a quick bite before a movie at 6 p.m., and we were pleasantly surprised to find there was no wait on a Friday night. We kicked off our dinner with their avocado egg rolls. These weren't bad ... not as flavorful as some of the others I've had, but they were crispy and warm, and the sauce balanced everything out nicely. For my main course, I ordered the Bistro Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. The burger was cooked exactly to my liking, and had a nice char on it. The toppings were fun and played well with the lightly toasted bun. The sweet potato fries were perfectly seasoned -- and the perfect partner for this particular burger. My fiancé ordered the Sweet Pig pizza with added jalapeños. The shareable size (11") proved too much for him to handle on his own, but it made excellent leftovers later on that night. We were pleased that his pizza came out of the kitchen at the same time as mr burger, since sometimes deep dish pies take a little longer to cook. The service wasn't bad either ... our waitress stopped by several times and made sure our drinks were full. I did have to ask for a side of ranch twice, but sometimes that happens on a busy night. The prices were just a little high for the type of food we got ... for two entrees, one appetizer and one beer, our total was $70 including tip. Even still, this was a nice, quick stop before seeing a movie at Cinemark, and we'd definitely come by again.

    First, such a cool little venue. Modern, edgy and great for a family or date. Service was perfect. Friday at 7:00 and very busy but, food came fast, immediately seated and everything was correct. Loved the specialty flight and avocado rolls are my favorite! Husbands salmon was good but, the rice was "strange" according to him. I thought is was fine. My son was not thrilled with all the pepper on his kids shrimp meal but, (I thought it was delicious ). Very happy with the entire visit.

    It had been a while since our first trip to BJ's Brewhouse in Florence. The place continues to look very nice and our waiter who also doubled as their bartender worked hard and did a great job for us. For an appetizer we tried their Fried Couscous Mac And Cheese Balls. The balls themselves had cheddar/Jack cheese, bacon, green onions, tomatoes, and basil all in panko bread crumb coating. For a dip they had a Sriracha queso dipping sauce. They were extremely unique because of the Couscous and with a great dipping sauce made for a tremendous appetizer. For my main course I got some Boneless Wings with Hot And Spicy Sauce on it. The wings were good size and well cooked. The sauce was above average although not at the level of the top tier wing joints. Still a good effort. For dessert we once again got their famous Pizooki Sampler. They are cookies of sorts each topped with ice cream. The sampler had triple chocolate, caramel, and a standard vanilla/chocolate one. They were fantastically delicious with the caramel one really standing out. All in all a delicious 3 courses here made for a super lunch.

    Just a little update on one of my fav's restaurants. Today stopped by to get a couple of drinks and snacks, pretty much everything went really well with just a little ding but not a big deal. First of all the waitress that we got today (Liz) was awesome! Haven't seen her before but my wife and I loved how she took care of us. The first thing she asked was if we were enrolled with their rewards; NOW, that for us was a nice surprise because we never have been asked... So many dinners that we have had there and forgot about the rewards, so that was cool, she was always around, very kind and professional, provided suggestions and we never felt neglected nor in a hurry to order. The food was great as always, The Poke was delicious, the one ding was just the Calamari's, they where very greasy but besides that everything was perfect and the drinks where on point. Always recommend this place to anyone in the area.

    Filet Mignon-terrible.

    Filet mignon was terrible. Two small bites were swallowable. The some of the rest I chewed and had to spit out. Told the waiter and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. I gave up. Do not Order!!!

    Substituted fries for nachos...was legit!

    So this place just had a weird vibe - the decor is beautiful and upscale and from the pictures on…read moretheir website, we kind of thought we needed to dress up a bit. But no. This is basically bar food in an expensive looking setting. We both wanted to order their chicken wings, but were told that they only had 10 wings left. Which was puzzling since the place was relatively empty. And speaking of that, we made a reservation online thinking the place would be hopping for dinner. Not so much. I had the taco el pastor. It was good but was basically pulled pork on a corn tortilla with bbq sauce. I also ordered the Brussel sprouts which would have been really good if they weren't drowning in white sauce. I recommend asking for all sauces on the side, btw. TVs on the wall all around the dining room are tuned into blooper reels and trivia. All in all, the menu wasn't intriguing enough for us to want to go back.

    Rarely does a restaurant manage to feel like a neighborhood secret while delivering a high-caliber…read moreculinary program, but Sanctuary Social has mastered that delicate balance. Tucked away in Villa Hills, it has quickly established itself as a "hidden gem" that defies traditional categorization--part sophisticated lounge, part high-end bistro, and part soulful community hub. The design of Sanctuary Social is its first masterstroke. It captures the paradox of being "upscale-casual"; you'll find plush velvet sofas and warm, modern lighting that evoke a high-end city lounge, yet the energy remains as approachable as a favorite dive bar. The addition of live music on the weekends elevates the space from a mere eatery to a destination, providing a vibrant backdrop that feels both intimate and celebratory. It is a "sanctuary" in the truest sense--a place to disappear into for a few hours. The kitchen leans into "Elevated American" with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and shareable plates that encourage conversation. Small Plates & Boards: The Artisan Meat and Cheese Board is a standout, curated with a level of intentionality often reserved for dedicated charcuterie houses. For a more modern bite, the Fresh Tomato Bruschetta with whipped burrata is a bright, creamy essential. The "Handhelds": The Wagyu Brisket Sammie and Wagyu Brisket Elote Tacos showcase the kitchen's ability to take casual comfort food and apply premium techniques. The brisket is consistently tender, balanced by the acidity and creaminess of the elote corn salsa. Craft Cocktails & Mocktails: The bar program is formidable. Their seasonal cocktails (like the Blackberry 75) are balanced and inventive. For those seeking non-alcoholic options, the Blackberry Lemonade Spritz or the Jalapeño Lemonade offers a complex profile that far exceeds standard soda fare. Sanctuary Social is the kind of place that Northern Kentucky has been craving: a spot that respects the craft of food and drink without the stiffness of formal dining. It's a "destination" restaurant hidden in plain sight, offering A1 surroundings and a menu that hits its mark with precision. If you haven't made the drive yet, you are indeed missing out on one of the region's most compelling new additions.

My mom and I dined here today and the experience was frustrating from the start. We were seated and initially greeted by one waitress who took our order, but we were quickly handed off to another server who was already clearly overwhelmed with multiple tables. This quick handoff likely contributed to the miscommunication surrounding our incorrect order, which could have been avoided if the original server had not switched us off so abruptly. She seemed far more focused on guests she knew who were seated nearby, while our new server was left juggling several tables on her own. I felt bad for her--she was clearly doing her best without much support. I didn't see a manager on the floor to help address the situation. On top of that, our food came out incorrect and had to be sent back to be fixed. We were also told my child would receive a kids' drink with her meal, which never came. Unfortunately, this has become a pattern--each visit seems to bring poorer service and lower food quality, especially considering the prices. I do enjoy the atmosphere, particularly during the warmer months, but between the inconsistent service and disappointing food, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.
