We stopped in for a bite after watching the Globetrotters play at the UF arena. So, it's within driving distance of the campus facilities. We both got soup and salad and I liked the options available. Service was good and we got to watch the Steelers lose a playoff game, so everything was great 👍

First time at BJs and I went with the large pizookie. No complaints but definitely a full tummy (picture attached for reference). Joelle was great! 😊

Overall great experience. Casey was an excellent server, I appreciated her recommendations and she was friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and tasted great too. Only minor gripe is the seating, they had everyone crowded into a small section despite the restaurant being fairly open. There was a whole row of booths that hadn't been bussed so we were seated at a table in the middle of the aisle, arm's reach from a bunch of other patrons. Would have preferred the space and privacy of a booth if the tables had been cleared.

Leaving this review for Darius ! Unfortunately we ran into an unpleasant encounter with the one female mangers that was on duty last night . While everyone at the table got their food, one of our people did not get theirs . When asked where it was at thy said it must have got lost and they will cook up another order . At this point everyone waited 40 mins to get food Because they were so busy which we understand but when we talked to the female manager she stated “ Sorry you are the odd ball out but as you can see we are busy” very rude and very insensitive. We decided to talk to another manager and that was Darius ! Darius was so understanding and nice . He took care of the situation like a manger is supposed too ! Thank you Darius for knowing what you are doing and doing it well ! We weren't going to come back to BJs again but you definitely changed our minds ! Thank you and thank you Noah who handled everything so beautifully as well , he definitely did an amazing job with everything going on !

Our server Thelwell was great! It was my boyfriend and I’s first time at BJs and he was more than happy to offer us suggestions on the menu. We ordered the chicken parm and strawberry salad based on his recommendation and they were both so good! Overall, service was excellent, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was nice too! we will be back!!

We had an early Father’s Day celebration there tonight. The burgers were great. The special sodas were amazing (I normally order one of the house brews) and the pizookies were incredible. We all left full to the max and fully satisfied. And wonderfully, we had Scout K as our server. She wasn’t just efficient. She was delightful, intelligent, and gave useful advice with questions about our orders. She made the best a little better.

Absolutely LOVED the Enlightened field greens salad.😋🍽️ Must get if you enjoy a light, refreshing, and filling meal. Meera was absolutely fantastic!! She was patient and answered all my questions (I’m a slow orderer lol).😅 Vibrant smile and servant heart! Truly the best! 10/10 all around and she even helped me learn more about the World Cup! 🤩🔥 Oh and she is the FIRST waitress in my life that has asked if anyone had dietary restrictions!!
