BJs Restaurant & Brewhouse - Sterling Heights (MI)

3 /5 Daniel R: Seen some viral post circulating about their pizza and a few other items. So I thought I would give it a try. Went here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon around 1pm. Walked in was greeted promptly by staff and my order was taken. I ordered an individual pizza and mozzarella sticks. Came up to 37.03 which is a bit on the steep side. Mozzarella sticks came 10 to an order (a bit on the skinny side) which I first thought wow that’s awesome! But in reality it was probably 5 regular size cheese sticks cut in half to make 10. Which is okay but the smaller the food the more likely case your food will get colder quicker. The sticks were lightly breaded even with a hint of Parmesan and garlic made a very balanced bite of flavor. Ranch was well ranch but felt like it could have a bit more seasoning added cause it was light on flavor. Marinara was good tasted fresh with definite hints of onion, oregano and basil. The pizza which I had high hopes for fell a touch short of what I would say a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut used to be. At a cost of almost 20 bucks with cheese , bacon and cuppy pepperoni it was satisfactory at best, I hoped to be a bit more. Now 20 bucks for that size pizza could have been a large at some carryout pizza joints around town. The dough was dense and sponge like. Very little crunch from the bottom as I think they over oiled the pans because it was very soft. The crunch of it was on the back wall if you will, which was pleasing to taste and flavors of the pizza were very balanced and not overpowering in any way. (See bottom picture of grease in box). Service and atmosphere great 5 stars. Food 3 stars price 2 stars. Which probably puts over all about a 3.3 in my over all experience. I won’t be rushing back any time soon but I think I will be giving the another opportunity to earn my patronage as a loyal guest, but I’ll definitely try something else!

5 /5 Bino Puzz: I have been here a few times over the years and I have always left satisfied. This place offers a decent value and the food’s always been good. Service has always been fantastic even when they’re busy. It’s honestly one of the better chain restaurants in my opinion.

5 /5 T: Wanted to share our recent dining experience, as I felt it rather curious there seemed to be some rather middling reviews sprinkled in here. We arrived as a party of 5 around 5p.m. on a weekday night. Rather light crowd at that time. We were welcomed and ushered to our table promptly, where we were greeted by our server who took our drink orders, mainly the BJs signature beers. All were pronounced tasty. We proceeded to order Apps, the calamari and an order of boneless wings with the Asian coating. Both arrived promptly and were more than ample quantity for the 5 of us and again, were pronounced very good with even some left to take home. Our server made sure to check on us regularly to see if we needed refills. We moved on to ordering our entrees, which sampled a cross section of the menu. They arrived as if pre ordered by a bevy of staff, all very nicely presented and in ample quantity to reflect an appropriate price point and value. Our server made sure to ask if everything looked good we all replied to the affirmative and proceeded to dig in, None of us was able to finish our whole meal with my wifes Beef dip being enough for four people. All the food was great as was the service. 4 stars for interior volume when crowded but other than that BJs really delivered!

4 /5 Philly2 anywhere: After a frustrating travel day, I was looking for a decent quick meal. I sat at the bar and received outstanding service from Ramiza. She had great recommendations. I ended up getting the atlantic salmon blackened. It was fresh and tasty, much better than you would expect from a sports bar style spot. Would recommend.

4 /5 Samantha VanCamp: Pizzokis are the most delicious desserts. Some of their food is top notch, while others are passable. The steak was chewy and not great, but their potatoes and broccoli were great. Their portion sizes are good. Pizza crust was crunchy and delectable but center was nearly doughy. Overall, the pizza was good.
