Ever since COVID I feel like BJs has stepped down just a bit in quality to not be the go-to "night out" spot for me. To make matters more concerning, I went recently after a while and found they discontinued the peachberry iced tea, something so delicious I slurp down 3 or 4 each visit! I understand the menu has slimmed down, and as such, their non-alcoholic drink offerings, but that was such a selling point for me.
That being said, it was still a nice visit. My gluten free pizza came out deliciously, and my waitress even mentioned if I wanted the diced tomatoes on top, which, the picky eater I am, did decline, so that was thoughtful. Our waitress in general was attentive and swiftly helped us out multiple times, including on a mixup in not initially getting our sweet potato fries. I also didn't realize my gf pizza was part of the $7 happy hour, which was unexpected but helpful, so sit in the bar whenever you can!
