Like the room and location. But the meals have always failed me. Â I have gotten pizza and a burger here. They were both very average. Â I will stick with the apps and the beer next time. Â They have been decent. Â I also had a root beer there that was pretty not good. Â But I may have been expecting more from a brewhouse. Â Shame on me, maybe.
Review Source:I think this is one of the nicest looking breweries/restaurants that I have ever been to. Â It's a great place for a romantic date night or with a large group of friends. Â The high ceilings make conversations great and it's not too loud in there. Â It's not the best for watching a game unless you get a seat by a TV.
The pizza was pretty awesome but it's still a far cry from real Chicago deep dish pizza. Â The beer is pretty good too but I can't really judge it too much since I only had one pint. Â However, I think I will be going back whenever I'm in the area.
Service wasn't that great but I think it's just cuz our waitress sucks but the other staff around us seemed like they were doing a good job. Â The prices are pretty reasonable too so stop in if you want a nicer than normal brewery with good food.
Stopped in to BJ's after a long day of moving. Â Thank you for letting our scruffy looking selves in to the place! Â It will be no surprise to any of you to know that what I like about BJ's is their great beer selection, whether it's their own brews or their vast choices from the cooler. Â Second, I love their small plates - inexpensive and some nice choices. We tried the deep-fried artichoke hearts and the italian meatballs. Â The artichokes were cooked perfectly; the meatballs were tender and very filling. Â They have a huge menu, so if you are looking for a place that will satisfy lots of different tastes, this is a good bet for you.
Review Source:Not a bad place. Their menu is waaay too big. When you eat at a restaurant you generally want to order what they're known for. (In this case, beer & pizza). any place that shows they make everything means they don't specialize in one great dish. Just a bunch of average stuff. My advice? Cut the 6-7 page menu and concentrate on what you do best. (again, beer & pizza).
Review Source:Notice: Â BJ's will no longer offer half priced appetizers for Tuesday night happy hour.
We heard BJ's has a good happy hour (half priced apps), so my colleagues and I decided to drop by after work. Â I had the fried calamari which was a little too spicy, but I had no problem cleaning my plate.
Our server informed us it was the last night BJ's would offer half priced appetizers for happy hour. From now on, they will offer a couple dollars off appetizers. Bummer.
Good location in Aurora, at least if you live in Aurora or east Denver.
The staff has always been nice when I've gone and it draws a good crowd.
The beers are good but nothing special, you know what you are getting, nothing bad but nothing that will bring you back. Â Kind of like generic versions of what New Belgium offers.
The food is disappointing and the portions are small for the price. Â You would think that the appetizers (wings, chips and salsa, etc...) would be typical bar fare, but they try to put their own spin on bar appetizers and it just comes out... weird. Â Bar appetizers need to be tasty, some-what filling and also need to soak up a little of the beer that one just had. Â BJ's appetizers don't do any of that. Â Lets face it, most people drive here and then will drive home. Â I may want to go for that second beer, and I will want a little filling food to "moderate" it.
I had dinner there once, but I can't remember anything from it. Â I guess that's about it.
Large variety of food and beer. I had the Jambelia and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Â Both were very good. Â Returned on the way back to LA.
Waiter worked with me to merge the ingedients of two of their salads; each had good elements but needed something from the other to be complete. Â Came out great.
Large restrurant with long bar, plenty of sport screens, lots of windows, wood and brass. Â Kept the sound on the sports down so it was not dominant (unless you were at the bar).
Good servicer but somewhat forgetful.
Hot cookie desert with ice cream is a nice touch; rich but good.
A friend and I came here on a whim. Â I wanted pasta, she didn't care too much and just wanted food. Â They have a pretty big menu that has a bunch of choices on it. Â Our waiter was pretty good and helped me in making a decision on what to get. Â The food was good. Â Nothing spectacular, but better than Applebees...
I'll def go back...
Every time I'm in town to visit family, we end up here. On a recent trip, we ended up here twice in two weeks. I love the interior (and usually that stuff does little for me) and ambiance. The beer selection is good and well-presented. Not cheap, but not exorbitant.
The menu is similar to TGI Friday's and other pub chains: pizza, burgers, sandwiches, ribs, etc., but it's not generic.
No one thing stands out, but the overall package makes for a pleasant experience.
Tell them DRAGON sent you and they won't charge you extra.
Decent food and not overly priced. I know one of the Kitchen Managers so we stop in every now and then. LOVE the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. We've had the apps and the majority are decent, typical fare. Service can be so-so but we've never had to wait for a table even when they are super busy.
Review Source:Meh. Waited 5 minutes at the take-out counter with no service. No one else waiting, not busy. No acknowledgement or apology for me having waited so long for service. The girl at the counter had to go to the adding machine to figure out my change, and she still got it wrong. Left with my take-out order, and got home to realize my salad had been left out of the bag. Overall a disappointing experience.
Review Source:I use to live around this place and have frequented BJ's often. Â I was in the neighborhood and knew it would be a solid bet. Â For those who have never been, know that BJ's has great beers! Â I recently found out that they have DRY DOCK BREWERY'S VANILLA PORTER on tap!!!!! Â If you are a beer fan, get the taster set. Â The ambiance is great and it would be a good place to take a date or a crowd you want to impress and the consistency factor with service and food is on point. Â As far as the food they try and do a little spin on the traditional bar food, but all in all, it is still the standard bar food. Â BJ's gets 4 stars because of the beer selection, great service, and great atmosphere.
Review Source:My visit here didn't start out good. It was my first time at a BJ's and when I sat down and ordered Dr. Pepper... I was told they don't serve Dr. Pepper!!! The humanity!!! How do these places stay in business when they don't serve the nectar of life!?!? (truth be told, I boycott places that don't serve Dr. Pepper--meals just aren't the same without it). So while I was mortified and having to eat good food without good drink, I decided to stay. I had a gift card. ...otherwise I literally might have walked out.
So why five stars??? Read on.
My burger came out with avocado only on half so I wasn't too pleased with that either. But no big deal, they can bring me more avocado.
The manager came around to each table, asking how things were. When he got to me I gave a little smile and said things were okay.
This manager could read through my fake smile, however, and asked what he could do to make it better. I told him there was nothing he could do, just that I was greatly disappointed they didn't serve Dr. Pepper. He apologized but eventually moved away.
Literally 5 minutes later he showed back up at my table with a cold bottle of Dr. pepper on a tray!!! FREE of charge! HE LITERALLY WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO THE GAS STATION AND BOUGHT ME ONE!!!
WOW... that's customer service. I was ready to write a mediocre review and never go back... but how can I not give the management the props they deserve? They know how to please their customers.
He did mention that they would start carrying Dr. Pepper about two weeks later. I haven't been back yet to find out. But I likely will. Good service brings repeat customers.
So I'm HIGHLY recommending BJ's but I'm MORE specifically recommending THIS specific BJ's in Aurora, CO for obvious reasons.
Came here for lunch on Monday. We were quickly seated and it looks like a popular place for business groups. We enjoyed that the seating was a fair distance from each other so you got a more private dining experience. Even though there were only a few tables occupied, it was still fairly noisy.
The menu is indeed huge for both drinks and food. I had the berry cider that is made in house and it's a nice change up from your traditional apple. We had a hard time making choices with the food menu and it might actually be too large. I finally decided on the california burger, my husband had the potato skins, and my friend had the fried artichokes, mac and cheese, and tomato and mozzerella salad from the 'small plates' section.
My burger was served on thick texas toast and I liked the addition of the green chilis and the avocado. It was quite a heavy burger and kept me full for the rest of the day/evening. My husband was served 10 potato skins, which were enough to feed him for lunch and dinner. And the little plates my friend got were all very good. I had an artichoke and it was delicious. The mac and cheese was enjoyed, though the tomato salad was too salty.
Overall, we had a good visit here. Their patio is huge and looks like an ideal place to be on a sunny day. We've tried to come here for dinner on a weekend and the lineups get to be huge. Either arrive early or see if you can make a reservation.
Huge selection for food and beers and everything else. Â A good play with different variety of ingredients. Â The first time I went, I got there California Burger and the big seller for me was the sourdough. Â It was not on your traditional hamburger bun. Â The second I went, I got a mini pizza with portobello mushrooms and balsamic vinegar. Â I never had a pizza with portobello mushrooms.
I like the art work on the walls. Â Mostly funny pictures of the old paintings.
I've not had any real food at the restaurant but the beers at the brewhouse are really nice. Â The bartender, Tamara, was very helpful, friendly and allowed a tasting of all taps that interested me before committing to one. Â I did also try the ahi tuna small plate ($3.95) and it was pretty nice with the best hottest wasabi i've ever had! :D I'll have to come back to try the food sometime.
Tip: BJ's Jeremiah Red is yummy!
Located by the Aurora mall on the east side of town, BJs brewhouse is where it's at. I recently took my pops here for lunch yesterday and I'm glad I did.
BJ's has quite an expansive menu. Ranging from some of the most delicious pizzas I have eaten to their sandwiches, salads, and pasta. I am always impressed with the size of their menu and the array of foods geared towards pleasing everyone in your group. I usually order a pizza every time I come to BJ's - half buffalo chicken and half great white. The buffalo chicken side is always fantastic! They add freshly chopped red onions, chives and white chicken to the buffalo style sauce and then drizzle it with fresh house-made ranch (not the most healthiest, but it is sure tasty). The great white side is an alfredo based-sauce (again not the most healthy I know), with chicken, fresh garlic, and a bruchetta-style tomato. The crust is the best part - it is served deep dish and is thick and moist and delicious!
Yesterday, however, I ordered their all you can eat soup and salad combo - and so did my dad. For the salad, went with a boring caesar salad light on dressing and for the soup I went with the chicken tortilla. The salad was pretty ordinary, nothing super special about it, but the soup was incredible! It came in a separate container that our waitress poured into our bowl around some crunchy tortilla strips, tomatoes, and freshly chopped avocado. The avocado in the soup was a nice touch!
All-in-all, BJ's Brewhouse is a great place to check out (especially if you have some picky eaters in your crowd and you want to please everyone). Their beers are also great - I didn't order any yesterday, but they are always up to par with what meets your style or craving. They also have another location up north off of 104th by the Promenade Shops and movie theatre if you are on that side of town. Enjoy!
BJ's in Aurora did not seem like my type of hangout because it is deep in Aurora (too far from home), it is kind of a sports bar, and I was not crazy about the name. However, the husband's friends invited me to join them for cocktails along with the husband and I wanted to catch up.
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with BJ's whole nine yards. From my pumpkin ale, the apple cider, and the ahi poke to the dark wood walls and inviting atmosphere, BJ's sets a gold standard. In fact, BJ's mission statement has to do with the Gold Standard of Operational Excellence and they are not blowing smoke. The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. Â
To wind up, let's revisit the ahi poke. This dish was wonderfully prepared and was almost identical to one of my favorite uptown restaurants except at half the price; I would return just for that dish with a handcrafted brew.
After a long week at work, I met up with Brittany H for some much needed cocktails and catching up! I arrived still in time for happy hour and  thankfully Brittany had snagged us a nice booth in the bar area.
This place is HUGE, full of a million beers and has some of the best food there is. We ordered a few appetizers [tuna, eggrolls and chips and salsa!] and were pleased with everything we sampled. Brit raved about their pumpkin beer, which was in fact quite good! I settled on a mojito [strawberry!], which tasted great! The $1 off for happy hour [cocktails and beer!] made it taste even better.
Here is the overall breakdown:
The Staff- Super awesome, friendly and accomodating. We stayed in our booth long past happy hour, but did not feel the rush to turn over the table. Our waitress continued to fill our waters, grab new beverages and would check back frequently with us...yay!
The atmosphere- Cozy and fun. Depsite it being cold outside, the warm colored walls, big fireplace, and dimmed lighting made for a nice & cozy evening with friends.
The food- awesome! everything we sampled, we enjoyed!
The prices- a little high, but worth a try...for sure. i even made a rhyme! happy hour is your best bet for cheaper food & drinks.
Return?-absolutely :)
Person at the Company recommended BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, and we went there on a Wednesday night. Â Hockey playoffs just started, and thankfully the place had Versus. Â We were considering going to Dry Dock Brewery, but that place does not have the hockey channel package or even the Versus channel! Â
I ordered the Piranha Beer, Chicken Potstickers and the New Orleans Jumbalaya. Â The beer pairing with the Jumbalaya was recommended by the waitress, and it worked well together.
If I am back in Denver, I will definitely come back to this place. Â The menu is extensive, so I am looking forward to trying something new.
BJs rocks.
Service was great, food was great, portions were enough to enjoy AND take home. Plus the beer was outstanding, I love the BJs brews but also the fact that their beer selection is more than just the typicals. You can get anything from a seasonal brew to a Belgian to a simple wheat.
Plus, the Pazookie is insane. It's basically this delicious warm gooey cookie topped with ice cream and whipped cream. Enough for two to share too!
A little on the pricey side (I'm a hole-in-the-wall cheapass) but even as your grudgingly pulling our your credit card to pay, you'll have nothing but happy thoughts about your food and service.
Pros: BEER SELECTION. Good service, variety on menu, good portions.
Cons: A little more pricey than you'd find in most of downtown. But not much.
Won't be going here again. Only upside on this visit was the beer.
I was there with a going away party and another large gathering totally took over the entire area. No one told them to quiet down or stay within there seats, it was annoying.
Then when I needed to jet to pick up my daughter the bartender was a total a-hole about helping me close out my one beer bill.
This confirms my long held belief that jerks are hired here often. If they treat there customers like that, I wonder how they really treat your food.
I had very good experience with the BJ's Brewhouse in Cerritos, CA. I was pleasantly surprised to find one in the denver area.
The brewhouse wasn't special, but it didn't disappoint either.
The food was good. I had the miso salmon this time, and it was done just right.
The beer was also very nice. Instead of the red, I stuck to the stout this time.
I am still hoping that we get a brew pub of this caliber or better in our area. Is that really too much to ask?
This place is definitely inconsistent. Â I've had some pretty good meals here and I've had some not so good meals here. Â Today, was not so good. Â Our waitress, I think her name was Erin, was bad. Â She showed up to take our order, brought our salad and that was about it.
The salad was disgusting. Â The lettuce was pink, brown and wilted. Â How could the cook in the kitchen plate that dish and how could a server let that plate leave the line in the condition it was in? Â The management here should be embarrassed.
We split the appetizer sampler. Â It was alright. Â Not fantastic, but not horrible. Â It was just, meh. Â The artichoke dip tasted like it was a few days old, sauce from the egg rolls had spilled out of the ramekin and on to the plate and the chips were over salted. Â It was just very sloppy. Â The fact that the appetizer sampler was OK and not horrible saved this review from being only rated with one star. Â I also asked for a water when we got our salad and never got one. Â I had to wave to a different waitress to get a glass of water.
I hope the management at BJ's reads this and sees that there are issues that need to be addressed. Â You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Last night was my first trip to BJ's and one of the few times I've ventured out of Cap Hill for a night out in awhile! The Christmas gathering of friends seemed like the perfect occasion for a place such as BJ's and it didn't disappoint.
The decor is modern and the space quite expansive - presumably, because the brewery is in the back and the operations require some serious ceiling room. I'll agree with others that the food is probably a bit overpriced in relation to the overall quality, but it's far from a deal breaker. We enjoyed the pizza, which had a very doughy crust and large tomato chunks over the entirety of it - this seemed to be the case on the all the pies I saw rolling past. The mushrooms and artichoke hearts were fresh and all the elements seemed of pretty good quality. Originally being from Chicago, I'm kind of particular about my pizza, but this was tasty stuff and relatively unique.
On to the beers, which is the most important part of the equation at any place professing to be a brewery. They obviously had their own brews on tap (a pale ale, porter, stout, hefeweizen, and some seasonals), but they also had a GREAT selection from Colorado breweries. Left Hand, Oskar Blues, Tommyknocker, and Boulder Beer were all represented behind the bar! I opted for BJ's own Piranha Pale to get started and enjoyed it. Very drinkable, if not spectacular, but it didn't try to be anything it wasn't. From there I had a Dale's (Oskar Blues), which is my local favorite and hard to ever pass up from the tap. With my meal, I had BJ's porter which was tasty and fit well with the frigid weather we were dealing with.
Our service was lacking in attentiveness for a group of nearly ten people, but he was a nice enough guy and the hostess did a great job of getting us taken care of and accommodating a couple kids in the group.
Check it out if you're in the Aurora Mall area!
Great (strong) beer and great service, I had to visit TWICE today - once for lunch (without the beer) and then after work, where I enjoyed two. BJ's reminds me strongly of Karl Strauss Brewery, a very similar California-based microbrewery/restaurant with the same sort of formula and I think very similar offerings.
At lunch, I enjoyed their lunch sized Cobb salad (pre-tossed) with what was billed as a "large" bowl of Tuscan tomato soup that was a little on the small side. Both tasted excellent, but I left hungry. Great service.
Returning for dinner, the little man on my right shoulder pointed his pitchfork at me and I had no choice but to order the open-faced chili cheese burger, which was more food than a human should be allowed to eat in one sitting. A half pound burger with a generous service of chili and cheese on top of a burger bun with a massive pile of fries (your choice: thin or wedge cut). I was barely able to eat the burger and chili, leaving both bun halves and three fourths of the (delicious) fries. While downing this monster portion of food, I partook of one pint of their hefeweisen and one pint of blonde, which I swear must be stronger than we usually get back in Charlotte.
My dinner waitress was attentive and seemed to understand the pace of the meal I was enjoying, stopping by at appropriate times to check on me. I was very pleased with her service. The same for lunch.
The walls all have TV's on them, especially the very large one over the bar. A perfect place for me to catch tonight's Monday Night Football (pre-season) game. Go Panthers! Overall, an excellent choice and I am very glad that I returned. Good value for money, too!
This is a really good place. It lost a star because I feel its a little overpriced (just enough to make it a special trip as opposed to a regular one). The service is good. I have ordered curbside pizza a few times to bring it home and its always been done right. They were 5-10 minutes behind one time. The manager came out and apologized and offered me a free beer. At that point I didn't mind waiting for a few minutes.
For those that have tried things other than pizza, they've enjoyed it. I had chicken tenders once, they were plenty good, not amazing, but fine. Their dessert cookies are an absolute must have. Get the cookies and cream. Best ever! Their pot stickers are tasty too.
I had a hard time deciding on what to eat here - lots of great-looking items on the menu! Â I went with a veggie burger, which was very typical (nothing special) but still tasted great. Â Better than the meal, the draft root beer was a refreshing change from the syrupy crap you get out of a fountain. Â My husband had a couple of the beers and gave them a thumbs up.
It wasn't super expensive or anything, but I removed a star because I felt it was slightly overpriced for the quality of the food. Â However, the atmosphere was great and the brand-new quality of the restaurant made for a pleasant dinner.
