A: I went to BJs for the first time for a dinner with some old co-workers. I read the reviews before I went so I had an idea of some of the areas where I might have problems. I am happy to say that my experience was a good one. It was a Sunday evening so that might have helped since it was not very crowded. The weather was nice so our group of 5 sat on the patio. The service we received was very good. He was attentive and funny. Also was helpful deciding what to order from the enormous menu. I had their Pumpkin Ale. It was decent. I liked it better than Blue Moon's Pumpkin Ale since I could actually taste hints of spices. I will definitely try other varieties of their own brews when I return. Two of the other girls in my group went for the root beer. I tasted it and it was good but I'm not enough of an expert to say it was any different than A&W in a can. The other two had mixed drinks and found them to be a bit pricey - $9 for a frozen mixed drink? The table started with chips and salsa. Nothing special there at all. I would pass on that in the future. I ended up having the steak salad and it was very good. I liked the touch of the roasted potatoes. All in all a good visit but the food is on the high side so I can't see myself going there often. If they had a reverse happy hour like Gordon Biersch I could see myself going more, but due to the price I will save trips here for special treats or during their happy hour in the day.

Q: negative

A: I would have given this place a "Zero" on the ratings but one is the minimum. There were cockroaches all over the place and the customer service was EPIC FAIL!? Them people that works there don't know how to greet customers properly. The lady at the buffet counter asked me "Rice?" in a rude tone, and she didn't even greet me then after like 2 seconds she went ahead and put 2 cups of rice on my plate without me saying anything to her. Wtf was that all about? This place seriously s*cks a**! I can't imagine how their kitchen would look like.. How the f do they pass their inspection every six months?! I don't recommend going to this place at all. God knows what they did with those food they serve there (and cockroaches crawling everywhere...) Worst goldilocks ever. I will pray for their souls..

A:
This place is top notch. Not only it is affordable, friendly and well-located, the food is really delicious. It was so good that we ate there twice during our 48 hours worth of time in Montreal. We asked the friendly server what she recommended-- the tabboule, fattouch, mixed grill for two, hummus, potatoes with garlic sauce, and assorted fried appetizers for the four of us-- we got it all; it was perfect and delicious. The potatoes in garlic sauce were so delicious that we went back the next day for them to get as a snack and I have googled all of the restaurants in my city to see if I can find a substitute. I am not sure I can live without them. We could see the chef right behind the counter and he graciously chatted with us both evenings. I cannot say enough good about this place.
