There not being too many restaurants in Foster City, I have eaten at BJs twice in the last week. The beer is very good. I liked the Blonde. The food is okay - typical bar fare. The service is awful. We had to wait for a table even though there were plenty that were empty. We waited about 2 hours... More

I went here with a colleague of mine between client meetings and a training session we were conducting. We found this restaurant off TripAdvisior and the experience matched the reviews. I had the seasonal beer and a special salad - which were both enjoyable. My colleague had one of the menu beers, he is a beer nut, and he thought... More

The service is always fast and friendly, food never disappoints and the beer, well it has to be the best since its made by BJ's. the burgers are always moist and the fries are really thin cooked just right. I had the chicken mango salad that was... More

We visited the BJ's in San Mateo, CA. We have done so several times, in spite of the poor service and food. Because, it is close by and comparable to fast food. Don't recommend it at all if you are looking for a nice dinner out. This time we were shocked to see that at 2 am the morning after... More

I wasn't thrilled when my husband picked a Brewery for dinner thinking I'll end up with a salad and ice tea but boy was I wrong. This place was very popular, only waited 5 minute to sit but they needed more wait staff. The menu had an entire page of gluten free options including their home-made root beer and chocolate... More

The place is good but just has te "hot" place problems of being crowded and maybe the staff does not really try to hard because for now they are busy.

Instead of all those deliciously fattening cheesecakes you have a bunch of deliciously fattening regular foods! As well as some desserts but since I didn't try them...yet, I can't comment but the fish (Mahi-Mahi) was delicious as was their flatbread pizza. Very diverse food here so if you don't have a particular taste for something specific, you should be happy... More
