My husband and I have been going to BJ's @ Jantzen for years, more often when we lived in N. Portland. Now we live an hour+ away and only get in occasionally. Such was the case yesterday. We even had to go out of our way to eat there. First let me say the beer and coffee-Great! But then we get to the appetizer, the spinach and artichoke dip. The dip was good as usual, but we were playing russian roulette with the chips. Some of them were actually r.nc.d! ( Believe it or not! The site won't let me use the real word- it is concidered 'inappropriate"") Try and get that taste out of your mouth! We left the chips. Then dinner was served, and it didn't fare much better. My husband's BJ's Favorite pizza was gummy and undercooked on the bottom, burnt on 1/2 of the side and just right on 1/2 of the side. I had the the roast beef sandwich and really wished I hadn't. As per an earlier reviewer...it was way past salty! The gravy also tasted burnt. We took home some rather expensive treats for the dogs. Let's just say we are unhappy enough to take the time to sign up with Citysearch just to write a review on our disappointing meal at BJ's.
Pros: Friendly, attentive service, Good beer and coffee.
Cons: Disappointing food, for the price.
