BJ's Brewhouse

BJ's Brewhouse

We were very happy when our friends Sally and Joe asked if we would like to meet them  to go out to eat especially when they said there was a new restaurant they wanted to try.
They were going to the movies and so we would meet them at the restaurant called BJ's Brewhouse and Restaurant  in Lewisville. We thought about it for a while and suspected it would be a place like Chilis or the old Bennigans and just the the place for a late lunch or early dinner.
We were right except it was a much larger place that either of these two other restaurants . It had large TV screens on the walls all showing different programs and I can see that it would be really a great place to be if there was a sports game on TV and everyone was cheering for their team.I expect rather a bit too noisy for me though!!

The sampler of 4 beers.

 It was fairly empty when we arrived at 4.30 pm with lots of empty seats and booths and we quickly saw by the display of the variety of beers that this was a place specializing in craft beers  as well as fairly regular beers. Mike was really surprised when he saw one of his favorite beers which we always have trouble finding to buy, was available here.

We also were surprised by the large menu of various appetizers, pizzas snack foods and entrees. It was a bit like reading a large book to read the menu as each of the meals and drinks comes with a description and it takes for ever to read it all.We certainly needed help from our server in finding out about our choices.

Mike and Joe chose the 4 beer sampler which was good value for just over $6 . I chose a sangria  but I truly wasn't impressed even though it was presented and dressed up nicely with a big chunk of pineapple.It was rather weak in taste.

The food we chose was mostly pizza which was an excellent choice. Very tasty. We sampled both the thick pastry pizza and the thin pizza and both were hot  and really good. Sally had ordered a gluten free pizza which was available.

Our server was very good and attentive as he explained the menu and was patient as we asked questions. Our drinks and meal came out in good time and he made sure we got everything we needed .

We enjoyed catching up on news with our friends and found this a good place to go for a pleasant meal.
