    Fresh Mozzarella And Tomato Salad

    While we are usually not the biggest fans of national chains, this wasn't too bad whatsoever. In fact, to take it a step further, it was VERY good. There really was not a dud in the whole lot, and we had alot. Prime Rib: solid 4/5. Cooked perfectly to medium rare, very tasty, steamed veggies, and good ( not great) mashed potatoes. Only little complaint (it happens with PR) is this cut was a little fattier than norm. Mozzarella and tomato salad: this was a borderline 5/5. Fresh cheese, nice balsamic vinaigrette, leafy greens. Was refreshing. Deep dish ziti: think of it as a crustless pizza smashed into a deep dish. Was...ok. Not great, but tasty enough to pick up a 3/5 or 3.5/5 Sapporo Waterfall Rice Lager: Like a beer version of the salad I had... refreshing. If you get this one, let it settle on the pallet just for 3-5 seconds. Very intriguing taste. Solid 4.5/5. Pepperoni Pizza: sort of similar in taste to the deep dish ziti. Was ok. Nothing special, but nothing offensive either. Our family also had a nice brisket bacon burger (my son devoured it too quickly for me to get a taste-lol, so I can't give it a grade). For 6 people, and with booze (I wasn't the only one to get a drink) about $200, so $30-$35 per person. Not bad. Reasonable. We tried to get here early at 5 pm, but it was a Saturday and also seemed to coincide with a prom night of some sort, so we had to wait 30 minutes. Still... food was good enough for me to say "worth the wait." At the end of the day, a good 4.25/5. As stated, we are not "chain" fans (or at least I'm not), but this was not only solid, but returnable (meaning it is worth returning to). Job well done. :) Ps: don't forget about the Pizookie. Easy slam dunk. Tasty, will never rank lower than a 4/5.

    Jambalaya

    The atmosphere here definitely fits their brand of Brewhouse. It screams that in a way that's understated yet obvious. It feels very welcoming. I ordered the Bacon Onion Jam Chicken Wings ($20). The wings were good, but nothing special. The Bacon Onion Jam doesn't have a strong flavor and not sure why it's an extra $3. They are tender, but a little fatty. I also ordered the New Orleans Jambalaya ($24). This has Blackened chicken breast | sautéed shrimp | chicken-andouille sausage | bell peppers | onions | tomatoes | cajun-spiced broth | and rice pilaf. To start with this is good, it's just not New Orleans, Cajun, or Creole. I'm pretty sure the main spice is just Old Bay. It is still a tasty dish, though not one I'd drive a long distance for. The service was excellent. It was very friendly and efficient. Overall a 4 star review. Everything is good with an asterisk. Would I return? Probably. I would order something else, just becase I have strong opinions on cajun food. If someone else wanted to go I'd be happy to go. Yes it's a chain, but it still felt like it had a soul.

    This was our first time at BJ's in GR. I have been before - but in different locations. This was my mom's favorite restaurant. She passed away in 2021 and to celebrate her, we went to her favorite restaurant. It was a bit after 7pm on a Saturday night. It was busy and they were on a wait, but we sat at the bar as usual. The space is big and has capacity for large parties. Michigan and Michigan State played tonight so that might partially explain the wait. Tyler was our server/bartender and took the time to explain the specials and the benefit of signing up for their loyalty program (free pizookie!) We each ordered a beer - a blonde for the Mr and I had the commitment double IPA. Both were good. Seemed a bit more tame for a DIPA than I'm used to, but I was happy with it. For dinner he had the prime rib special, he had a Caesar salad that had raw onion in it. Odd add and we were not fans. It wasn't listed in the description on the menu or he would have asked for it without. For sides he had white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Those potatoes were so dang good!! Asparagus was "fine". Not a rave review. What stood out the most was the prime rib. He ordered medium and if you look at the picture you can tell it was cooked on the top, as if it had been on a flat top not sliced from a roast. He likened it to a steak with prime rib seasoning. I had the protein bowl with blackened salmon and I loved it! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the rest of the items in the bowl were so good. I'm a HUGE fan of pickled onions and there was a decent amount on there. Because the prime rib special includes a pizookie we had the strawberry shortcake and it was a highlight of the meal FOR SURE. The warm sugar cookie with vanilla bean ice cream and strawberries was to die for. I would go back for that alone. Would have given our overall experience a 4.5 because my food was a 5 and our service was a 5, but his food was a 4. That being said, we will be back I'm sure.

    Brisket burger and fries
    Gary B.

    Went around 2PM on a Friday. Not real busy since it was after the lunch rush. Our server was superb. He was the best part of the meal. Not to say the meal was bad, he was just great. Started with the mozzarella sticks. They were good, but just warm. Then the burgers came. They were good, just not as good as I expected for what we paid. Seemed like the burgers were a little smaller than I thought they should be. Probably didn't help that we had better burgers the weekend before for less. All in all, it was a good experience, just not 5 stars.

    Classic Cheeseburger*

    fried pickle fries were good! I ordered a classic cheeseburger and it was raw. Significant other ordered bone in wings and one of the wings had feathers/wings coming out! manager did make it right and took the burger off the bill and offered to take the other meal off the bill! Gave us free dessert to make up for the burger!

    Took advantage of the $13 meal deal and will definitely be back! Choose an entree and skillet cookie flavor for $13! Skillet cookies are not pictured since they were devoured within minutes (even after our full plate of food). They even have gluten free skillet cookies options, which looked so similar to the standard version.

    Pazookie Cookies 'N' Cream Pizookie
    Sandy T.

    For a chain restaurant, BJ's knocks it out of the park. Dined here 3x now and have not been disappointed. Definitely join their rewards program. Get a free pizookie for signing up. It's a pizza cookie. I love their weekday lunch menu. $13 for unlimited soup and salad + a pizookie. For the salad, you have to get the tomato-mozzarella one. It's served on arugula and drizzled with an incredible basalmic vinegar. My tomatoes weren't fresh this time, they came frozen (not fully thawed), but when fresh, just impeccable. Few other choices of soup and salad but this is my favorite. You can mix and match too.

Coming from someone who loves a hoppy IPA and an amber, they combined my two worlds into one. So, it was a natural easy love. For my next, I went with their "Blinky's Black IPA" which was good but got more a weak porter feel than IPA. Like I said, it was good and I'd drink it again but with that expectation. FOOD: I went with an olive burger with be try fresh and real ingredients. The burger itself was full of flavor; add the rest of it and it was phenomenal. If I had to complain about something, I could have used a touch more olive sauce. Now the egg roll... I went with the "Guava the Hutt". I'll just say, I ordered two to go in hopes I can resurrect them in the air fryer later. The back half of the building is a pickleball area and the front half is the brewery and restaurant. Very cool look as they have a few shipping containers as sitting areas. Plenty of seating where I didn't feel jammed in. Also, a few arcade games. The service was friendly but know that it is minimal as you will order from the QR code at your table and order drinks at the bar. Definitely worth checking out and plan on returning.

Parking is easy, and convenient. They have ton of pizza, styles, flavors, and crusts. We settled on the "Build your own" pizza. We chose the Detroit style, four piece, with original crust. It was the perfect choice for our eating wants and needs. We added pepperonis onions, mushrooms and black olives. Service was slow, but the friendly waitress made it more enjoyable. Overall, the pizza was OK. It was a little burnt, and hard to cut. The taste was pleasing. I must admit that my favorite is Chicago deep dish pizza, sorry Detroit fans. But i feel that it is one of the better pizza places in GR. If your not a pizza fan, they have several other option; burgers, salads, and sandwiches. Check it out.
