BJ's

So I'm blogging about yet another chain restaurant, but this is one of my husband and I's favorites. Plus the stock in this growing chain has grown steadily this year, making it one of the top 10 new companies to invest in. And I know why. BJ's has everything.  First is the amazing service. They bend over backwards to serve you. The few times that they haven't were negligible because we typically always get great service, and you cannot judge a restaurant by individual employees. Because let's face it, if you did, you would just have to stay home! And if your house is anything like mine, there are no refills and you have to wash your own dishes. But 9 times out of 10, bad service is not even a concern at BJ's.

One of the most notably awesome things about BJ's are their in house brewed beers. My husband loves the Jeremiah Red. Delicious!  It has all the body and flavor of a good imported beer without being too heavy.  Now that I am pregnant, I have switched to their pomegranate Italian soda, and I think I might stick with it after our little future BJ's patron is here.

But what about the food, you ask? Well, what do you feel like having? There pastas are amazing, without the oily overly salted sauces that you find in some establishments. The parmesan crusted chicken with lemon cream sauce is perfection. Tender and lightly breaded, with just enough rich creamy sauce. Healthier options are a crisp Caesar salad or shrimp lettuce wraps. For appetizers we tend to go for the avacado egg rolls, but the spinach and artichoke dip is good too. We haven't tried too many of the desserts, but I feel that we probably will in the coming months. Truly if you are looking for a good restaurant with a menu that offers options, you cannot go wrong at BJ's.
