BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

Amazing food and service! Luis was an exceptional server-so helpful and attentive. The hot honey bone-in wings, chicken protein bowl, and the pizookie were all phenomenal. First time here, but we will be back.

Annie the bartender was phenomenal. So helpful and she explained everything with thorough precision. First time here. Food and specials, absolutely astronomical Honestly the best

We had the best lunch ever!! The food was out very quick and the service with Helena and the manager David was not just top notch, it was refreshing to see customer service is still not a lost tradition. We felt like MVPs even in the lunch rush. I can’t wait to be back soon. Second time visiting and we are so pleased to have this location one of our favorite places to eat. Thank you so much for having us feel so special. You guys are the Greatest Of All Time.🫶

Eating at the mall taken to a new level. Good people watching. Layla K was our waitress. I would never drink a beer brewed by BJs sorry. The patron marg was decent but Patron is not good because of additives. The wings were dry rub and too salty but thay is our fault for ordering the wrong flavor. Liked the pork ribs and the burger was decent.

We had a fantastic lunch! Helena was an amazing server. The first server I’ve ever had anywhere ask if we had any allergies to be aware of at the table, and we don’t luckily, but absolutely appreciated her checking and asking! The food was great, and dessert was even better! The pizookie never fails!

My partner and I came here on a Saturday night expecting all hell to break loose but we were met with kind faces and attentive service! I would like to appreciate Joe our server for being so accommodating with us! He was fast and quick to answer any of our questions (yes we ordered a lot). Everything came out hot and fresh and GENEROUS portions, it’s very rare my eyes out eat my stomach. Overall we had a great night!

Everything about my experience was fantastic. I sat at the bar by myself and the bartenders were so sweet and attentive. For dinner I ordered the brown rice and quinoa bowl with oven roasted salmon; it was so delicious, I was halfway done when I thought to myself, “I should write a review.” I couldn’t resist trying the monkey bread pazooki, it was dangerously amazing! I will definitely be back soon!

Bella was so kind and attentive!! She was quick, polite, and made sure everything was correct and made sure we didn’t have an allergies. Thank you, Bella!!

I came in around 9:30 at night and Zac was very cheerful greeting our table and helping us order a banger pizookie. 10/10 Zac is the goat!

After a long, tough week, I stopped into BJ's for a little pick-me-up and the mini Pizookie totally hit the spot. Warm, gooey, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, it was everything I needed in that moment. The vanilla ice cream on top was creamy, delicious, and paired perfectly with the fresh-baked cookie. The service was great quick, kind, and exactly what I needed after a draining few days. It was inexpensive, but honestly felt like a small luxury. Just what I needed to feel a little more human again. Highly recommend grabbing one of these sweet little treats when life feels heavy. Comfort food done right.

Great food and friendly service ! I enjoy the BJ's back in orlando and decided to have a team meeting here while in Tampa. We enjoyed lots of appetizers , entrees and a variety of drinks. We ended with pazookies which were everyone's favorite! The salted caramel one is my go too. Use your app to add up rewards to use !

The wings: crisped to perfection, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in sauces that actually pack flavor instead of just heat. Whether you go for the classic buffalo or something bolder, these wings are seriously addictive -- the kind you keep reaching for even when you swore you were done. And then there's the brewhouse lineup. The beer selection is top-notch, with house brews that deserve real attention -- from smooth, malty ambers to hoppy IPAs, there's a flavor for every mood. Pair one with those wings and you've got the ultimate game-day combo. The atmosphere is always lively but welcoming, and the staff know their stuff -- quick with recommendations and samples if you're unsure what to try

This was one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The bartender, Gabby, was openly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Service was painfully slow despite the bar not being busy, and every interaction felt like we were bothering her. Drinks took an unreasonable amount of time, questions were met with attitude, and there was zero attempt at basic customer service. Management seriously needs to address this, because it ruined the entire experience and guarantees I won't be back.

BJ's is one of the few large restaurant establishments left that leaves you feeling taken care of and cared for in your experience. I picked up some food using the BJ's app and some rewards and it was such a lovely exchange. No hidden purchase-necessary terms, just walked in, grabbed my bag of food to-go. I wish more places had the same culture of hospitality that BJ's has and continues to have. I got the appetizer sampler with naked wings and a salted caramel pizookie.

Getting 15 people to decide on a restaurant is a challenge. After reading out the list of options in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, enough of us decided that yes, BJ's was a good option and definitely better than Olive Garden or Red Robin or Chili's. I called and the host said that he could seat our party of 15 in 45 minutes. Off we go. Our long table was set up "outside" the restaurant but inside the shopping mall. Plenty of opportunity for our loud bunch to be fun and raucous without disturbing other patrons. We were served by the wonderful Brandy. Yes, Brandy Brandy Brandy! Giving back as much as we gave her with great humor and tremendous patience and a huge smile, she had help from others but she was definitely the face of BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse as appetizers and more appetizers and MORE appetizers came out. Then it was time for main courses. And finally, we let her convince us to order a couple of their pizookies for the table. So. Much. Food. I had some of the dip trio (cheese, spinach artichoke, guacamole), a couple potstickers and a mozzarella stick. Somehow, the couscous mac & cheese balls and the avocado egg rolls skipped past me and I missed out as I heard good things. I did enjoy their hefeweizen that was very tasty. Main course, I had one of their individual pizzas. Tasty deep dish that was pretty good. The cheeseburgers looked great and I did hear one complaint down the table that cheddar cheese does not belong on a cheesesteak. The wedge salad with blue cheese and sliced steak looked amazing. I'd have that next time. We let Brandy talk us into a "pizookie" which is a skillet cooked cookie dough. We had ours topped with strawberries and vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Because fruit makes it healthy, right? 15 people, many of whom had two drinks, maybe a dozen appetizers, 15 main courses, four or five pizookies. Brandy was working hard and she took fabulous care of us. We had a terrific time! [Review 225 of 2025 - 1964 in Florida - 23789 overall]

Met some friends here. It was the first time my boyfriend and I ever ate at this restaurant. My friend said this location was a little smaller than the others she had been to. We walked in to find a really cool looking drink they had started with. It was in a bathtub with a rubber ducky. So cute. Of course we had to get one too. I really enjoyed my meal. Very yummy. Half rack ribs, mozzarella and tomato salad and a potato. Yum! The waitress was nice when we got in. No major complaints other than a food chain restaurant.

We did our own little science experiment and went for lunch two days in a row--purely to test consistency, of course. Verdict? Nailed it. The broccoli cheese soup bowls and dry rub pickle ranch wings were chef's kiss both times. Day one, bartender Jessica crushed it; day two, Courtney matched that energy perfectly. I hadn't been here in about three years, and the biggest surprise wasn't just the food--it was how much warmer and more welcoming the place feels now. Consistency, comfort, and great vibes all around.

Beverages were great, food was average, service was good. My situationship didn't get his lemonade and I didn't get my broccoli but otherwise no complaints!

First they want to charge me $6.98 for a KIDS mini pizookie in person take out , when it's originally 3.79 online to order whether you're a kid or not. THEN they have the audacity to give me a raw cookie. Very disappointed with this experience as this was a 20 minute drive there and back as well.

The waitress was great, the drink was mid and the food was bland. Had the Santa Fe salad and it was not what is bringing me into BJ's again that's for sure. Chilling with my beautiful woman, sipping an ultimate Long Island in the mall watching everyone walk by was priceless. .

We visited on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm. It was not too busy. Our server Zakiya quick, friendly, and there when we needed her. I am grateful I was allowed to substitute chicken for steak in the strawberry fields salad, it was delicious and exactly what I was in the mood for. We sat in the patio area and it was pleasant and nice to see people in the mall walking by. They have a lot of options on the menu and we will be back to try something new next time! :)

I love the pazookie and the price is so good for what you get! Service is always fast and kind. Restaurant can get busy depending on the time of day and if a big game is on.

This was right before Halloween. After being sat at a table we waited for 30minutes for someone to come serve us which I finally walked up to the lady who sat us and explained that we were still waiting to be served she looked confused then realized she sat us in the wrong area so we had to move to another area afterwards. Of course then we got service, the gentleman was apologetic and was able to get our orders in pretty quickly. The food came out in a timely manner and the refills on root beers and cream sodas were perfectly timed. The pizza was fresh and delicious and definitely got the spooky pizookie which was so appealing to the eye and tasted delicious

The food is always great, the burger juicy and the club sandwich was really delicious. Mozz sticks are always a good go to. The atmosphere is the same in all BJs which is customer friendly. The staff was alright, our waitress seemed too much in a rush and rude.

Food & service was great! Kira was an awesome server. The ambiance and quickness was good.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Always love enjoying BJs. My parents wanted to treat my husband and I to dinner. So glad we decided on BJs. I'm on a strict diet and can only eat soups and soft food. So I had Chicken Tortilla Soup and some Potstickers. Only ate one Potsticker but will definitely enjoy them tomorrow. It was a nice evening and looking forward to going back.

BJ's has really improved over the years & this location is always lovely. Today we had Joe as our server & he is an absolute delight! Very accommodating, attentive, & patient! Service can be such a hard industry to work in, but Joe is still sweet as pie & deserves the recognition!

Niko Sekera was great! Food was 10/10. Niko was polite and the service was quick. The restaurant had a nice and lively atmosphere with football on.

I'm not sure why the reviews are so low since when I visited w/ my friend the vibes were nice, the service workers were always rotating at our table even though it was a bit busy when we went in July. The booth tables are a vibe and the food was pretty good. We went for the dessert and it did NOT disappoint, so so good. I actually liked the avocado rolls, tasty!

Let me start off by saying, this is the first time in a little minute that I have had a great experience from start to finish. I usually always order to-go from here but I decided to dine in. It is a pretty good size inside as it is located at Citrus Park Mall. The ambience is nice and cozy not supper bright but bright enough to be able to read the menu. We were seated right away and I went around 10pm on a Friday so it wasn't busy at all which I liked. Our server came over and greeted us with a smile on his face. His name was Louis. He was so delightful. What I appreciated the most is that he was very personable. We were having difficulty deciding what to drink and he did not hesitate to take us through the menu and give us recommendations. He was very honest about what guest enjoyed and what they didn't based on what I was curious about, some servers will tell you everything is good when that is not always accurate. So for drinks I decided on one of their new refreshers(non alcoholic). It had mango pineapple and I believe strawberry with fruity popping boba and I was able to add a shot of tequila and that made it even more delicious. My friend wanted a beer and Louis was gracious enough to let her taste a few options, my top choice was the pumpkin beer surprisingly because I do not usually like pumpkin and he added a cinnamon sugar rim to it : ). As for entrees we both decided on salmon, I got the blackened and she got the cherry chipotle, both were very yummy along with the sides. All in all i would rate my experience a10/10 just because of the service alone. So if you are ever in the neighborhood and want amazing customer service ask for Louis.

Mandy, our server, and Jackie, our hostess, always make us feel at home at BJ's Citrus Park! We like the Deep Dish ZitI, Deep Dish Pizza, and Jambalaya. Service is excellent; Mandy never makes us wait for food or drink. It's a good place to watch the game and enjoy a quality family meal. Don't forget a yummy Pizookie! Atmosphere is lively, but not too rowdy!

BJ's is my go-to late night comfort restaurant! Living near downtown Tampa, this BJ's is the closest to me - but definitely worth the commute. We were seated immediately on a Sunday night and our server was super attentive. Not sure if I was just really thirsty, but the water they served us was some of the crispiest, coldest water I've ever tasted lol (weird to review, I know). The music in the restaurant was REALLY loud, which kind of bothered me and made it hard to hear, but overall the experience was good. We ended the night with a cookies & cream Pizookie, because what's a BJ's visit without a Pizookie!

It was good but I got full too soon.they gave me a lot of noodles.the Seville was very slow tho.and it was delicious and delightful

first time here and the food was amazing, recommend the Crispy Jalapeño Burger and the macaroni cheese balls. Our server Belle was very sweet and gave us great recommendations. Restaurant is clean and music is great.

Citrus Park Mall's BJ's fantastic, friendly place. Today we had to make a fast change..The restaurant we had reservations at had water trouble. So, with 28 of us & no warning they opened their restaurant to us. Our waiter Christopher was beyond excellent. He had a great system of taking care of us with ease & never stopped smiling! Give them a try they're a nice neighborhood place to go! Thank you all, from management down for being so accommodating

Visted BJ's 467 on 01/05/25 15:07 Ambiance Pros: Relaxing, comfortable, darken setting. Though TV's and music may be on - not overwhelming. Service Neutral: Door to Table attendant: Very friendly and attentive. Server waiter: Must be newish. Thought nice - Took awhile to come to the table to take our order. Food: OK, reason I returned to this BJ's is I have been a customer for the past 7-10 years - however, had not returned in @ 3 years. But always enjoyed everything. Prices were fair. Boy was I surprised with the cost of food. To level set, one of the most inexpensive dishes we ordered was pasta Alfredo with chicken. Pretty much priced @ $13-18 in most restaurants. Today I paid $22.00 - that's pretty high for a non gourmet/Italian restaurant to charge. The rest went uphill from there. So basically will not be returning to BJ's - for quite awhile.

Huge thanks to Gaby for providing amazing service! Bison jalapeño burger 10/10--PS: Wednesdays we do not wear pink, we order $11 burgers on special.

I mean this place is always amazing! Such a huge menu, great quality and of course the pazookies! My favorite is the Oreo pazookie but the monkey bread comes in a close second! The pizzas are awesome but sometimes I cannot pass up the parmesan crusted chicken! Portions are huge and easy to share! My kids love it, I love it! There is always something for everyone!

Sooo I was pretty excited to try this place again after it closed down and reopened. Sadly the quality has gone down even more. The flat bread barely had any bacon or avocado on it (as you can see in the picture) and the monkey bread pizookie was super hard and dry which is surprising because the pizookies are normally the best thing on the menu! You can see my previous pics/review from 4 years ago and it's crazy how much this place has changed. I will say the service is great though, our server was super nice and attentive. Definitely do not fault her for the poor quality food. I at least thought with bjs reopening, the food would have gotten better but maybe they're still working on things.

Not bad, but also not great. I was suggesting lunch places to my husband. Turns out he doesn't like Cuban food or Thai food (10 years together and I'm just learning this. I knew he wasn't an adventurous eater, but never knew he wouldn't eat Cuban or Thai). He said I never ask him where he wants to go. Ok fair, where does he want to go? He said Olive Garden and then changed to BJ's. I was in a I don't care mood so off we went. It was super empty a lunch on a Monday. This is not International Plaza where they understand you are on a lunch break and need to get back to work. Even though there were only a couple of tables our waitress was exceptionally slow. She was nice, just super super slow. Like took the card of the table next to us, went to run it, came back to get our card, no efficiency at all kind of slow. The food itself was ok. I got the Prime Rib French Dip Sandwich and switched out fries for mashed potatoes. Weirdly the waitress asked me if I was ok with the coleslaw, I said yes and then it didn't come out with coleslaw. The sandwich itself had overly buttered bread. The meat was good and the mashed potatoes were ok. Overall I wouldn't get it again, but I wasn't mad about my meal. My husband got a burger. It was slightly undercooked for medium, more like a medium rare. The fries were tasty though. So, overall, not my favorite place, but not terrible either.

I believe at this time, we are witnessing the death of corporate owned restaurants. I for one can see a recurring trend in many places of late, BJ's is nit exempt. The pandemic, coupled with what management wants to pay their employees, and your left with an organization that cannot properly staff a restaurant to meet the supply and demand of their customers needs. To start, it is always a bad look when the sign at the front door states that only limited seating is available while blaming the economy. We waited 25 minute for a table while most of the tables in the restaurant sat empty. Once seated, we found out why. Management for BJ's is only allowing 3 tables per server at a time. This caused the only bartender on the clock to get overloaded because everyone else opted to sit at the bar to get a table. The trickledown effect is that is it took an additional 20 minutes to get a beer at my table. I ordered a Bistro burger medium rare. What came to the table was literally charred while the bacon was undercooked, creating a complete oxymoron of what I had asked for. Of course I sent it back, but was disappointed to see that the cook used the same bun and condiments from my previous burger rather than making it fresh. Our server had a great attitude and he took it in stride, offering up that the restaurant had one of their cooks walk out the day before and that they were doing the best that they could. My daughter ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. This time, the cook confused the cheesesteak with what was (we think) a French dip sandwich, complete with Au Jus, horseradish and banana peppers. After complaining (to me) that it had a strange taste, she gave up and ate the fries instead. My wife ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Tacos. She actually liked them but thought the they were a little on the small side for the price. In a perfect metaphor for this locations state of affairs, the roof is leaking just outside the foyer entrance leading in to the dining room and the AC had reportedly not been blowing for days. The temperature inside wasn't completely unbearable, it was decidedly humid and balmy. I've had a subpar experience at this location before, and with the benefit of doubt intact, was hoping for a better experience this time around. As much as I do like the brand, I really can't see another return visit to this location any time soon.

BJ's is a very nice place to go to for American fare. The food is always good and the service is normally pretty speedy. The ambiance is like a typical American bar-type restaurant. I would recommend BJ's if you want a predictable, great meal.

Delicious all around! The margarita flight was yummy and only around $14, our fave was the peach one. I got the barbacoa chicken and rice for $15 and it was a huge portion and delicious! Didn't feel like I was eating healthy! Service was great too we will definitely come back. They do take call ahead but it didn't seem to move us up at all.

Just came home from dining at the Tampa BJ's in Citrus Park Mall and had a wonderful meal. It was very relaxed and we took advantage of the special $13.00 menu once again. A big shout out to our server Matthew P. who made us feel very welcome and right at home. He gave over the top service and deserves to be recognized. Will return soon and hope to have Matthew as our server once again. Good job BJ's!!

service was fantastic. Heather was efficient, glasses never empty. our waiter was very personable.

Love the Mac and cheese balls, Luis is always the best, fast and friendly service! Great music!

When we go to the Citrus Park BJ we request to be seated in Luis' area. Luis is friendly and incredibly attentive throughout our meal. He always makes our dining experience wonderful.

I absolutely love this place. I have ordered from them on Uber eats but I personally love going to the mall and going in to have food and some beers. The bartender Jessica is absolutely amazing and I always enjoy going in to see her when I go to the mall. She is so attentive and wonderful and always takes care of me whether I want to just have a couple drinks or decide to have a meal. I would definitely recommend this wonderful place.

Bartender Jess once again for the WIN. Came in for a drink on Saturday and i was so excited to see Jessica behind the bar. Knew right then and there I was going to have a great experience. I asked about the bathtub behind the bar and she started describing all new exciting things coming to BJ's. Definitely coming back to see our girl Jess.

I ordered to go and they forgot my silverware. The food was already half cold for no reason at all. My food was also very bland, no flavor at all. The only good thing I got was the mashed potatoes Update: I tried again yesterday during the afternoon because I had a coupon for a free pizookie. This time the food was good, and they remembered my silverware lol

Service on point! The ability to modify our orders to make the meal healthier no problem, they accommodated with no hesitation. End result delicious every time. I don't like chains, only two and this is one!

I dined at bjs and enjoyed my experience. Luis was very informative on the micro brews bjs makes, I ended up getting the tropical hopstorm and jambalaya which were quite the combo. Make sure to try the smores piezokie! Will be coming back soon!

I went to BJ's in the Citrus Park Town Center in Tampa to redeem a reward for a free Pizookie, and I was impressed. My server, Crystal, did a great job of explaining my options , and she was very courteous and enthusiastic. I highly recommend her, and I will not hesitate to have her as my server the next time that I eat at BJ's.

Great Happy Hour. They always have good service. And the food is fun and tastes great. Haven't had a bad meal there.

Once upon a time this was our favorite family eatery; but, after watching the quality of the food slaunter into the abyss of time even our grandchildren didn't want to eat there during mall outings. Finally in desperation I spoke with mgmt. Who PROMISED edible attractive dishes. The kids left 3/4 of the italian pizza, hubby who loves good creole dishes called the jambalaya a disgrace & my rib eye missed it calling as the sole of a shoe. I've been told by a Carrollwood/citrus park employee that the other locations are far better

Kind of disappointed about the service and food today. Come to BJ's for years and today service was ... well!! The waitress got confused with drink orders, sweet versus unsweetened iced tea, water for lemonade, waited for awhile in water refills, dirty silverware, asked to speak to the manager that never showed up

I've gone to other Bj's locations and they were pleasant, but unfortunately this location was very disappointing. I went with my fam and we were all unimpressed. The hostess was awesome in greeting us and getting us seated promptly. We didn't sit down right away as our seats were really dirty; paper wrappings, sticky spots etc. I kindly asked the bus boy right by me when he was finished cleaning with his current table if he could just give a quick wipe of the seats. He didn't say anything or even make eye contact, and cleaned our seats with two swipes. I felt bad for even bothering him. The seats sit very narrow and close to the table, not so comfortable for curvier people. I ordered the ahi tuna appetizer and the buffalo burger. My boyfriend got the bacon cheeseburger, and my other fam ordered the ahi tuna salad, chicken and steak combo and nachos app. While my appetizer was fairly fresh, the wonton chips were very hard and plain. Fair enough, I move on to my burger. The patty was tasteless, tasting just like regular hamburger meat. I know buffalo has a very distinct taste, this was not it. Highly disappointed for $15 burger. My side was the worst part, I don't recommend eating the couscous Mac n cheese; it smelled and tasted like burnt plastic and fake cheese. I could only do one bite, not the kind of couscous I've ever had in my life. My boyfriend burger was mediocre as well, nothing that was a wow factor. My uncle had to reorder his steak as it came in a tiny fatty piece; second piece was made super well done, overcooked and hard. Even the chicken was a tiny dried out piece that he didn't even touch. The food overall had a nice presentation, but the taste and quality was highly disappointing, the staff was ok however our waiter was super slow with everything. I really hope this location takes it up a notch and takes more pride in their business, this place has so much potential to be better!
