Bj's Brewhouse Frederick

I have always had positive experiences at BJs in the past, but last night was disappointing. The service was slow and the food/dessert was only average. Hopefully it was just an off night.

We always enjoy the tri-tip. The size of the portion seems to vary from visit to visit. The asparagus was too hard and chewy; we couldn't eat it...don't order the asparagus. I told my server, who commented that this was an issue they were aware of. No cost consideration on my bill or offer of another veggie. We're on the fence in terms of recommending to a friend. It seems to be slipping.

The spinach and Artichoke dip is amazing, the mashed potatoes were creamy, beer was cold and food was hot. Our server was spectacular. My only complaint was that the prime rib roast was not trimmed of any fat, 10 of the 15 OZ of meat was inedible fat.

BJ's was a perfect place to celebrate a birthday. On this particular night the service was a bit slow, yet this gave ample time for good conversation.

Had to wait to long at hostess stand. Server took to long to refill waters. The steak was low quality and not cooked to order. They need more employees.
