BJ’s Restaurant

Tuesday, August 7, 2012. With $75 left on the gift cards, I ate dinner here with my sister and her friend.

It turns out that the closest BJ’s is actually quite far—all the way down in South San Jose. I’ve never been in the area, but I think I might go there sometime again. The mall was actually really stunning, although small, it was filled with many restaurants.

Parking was a pretty pain in the mall too. So confusing with “[insert store name here] only parking” and one way signs.

About a 30 minute wait before getting our seats.

Peach Iced Tea and Strawberry Lemonade

I am extremely disappointed with whoever was making the drinks. I first ordered the peach iced tea, expecting a refreshing fruity iced tea, but instead it was way too sweet. So sweet it was unbearable after the first sip to drink any more of it. The consistency was like cold syrup—I think I was just drinking straight-up flavored syrup, so I asked to exchange it for a strawberry lemonade since my mom got it before and I loved it. When she got it, the drink was mostly clear with just a hint of redness. But when I got my drink, there was so much strawberry flavor in it that I couldn’t even taste any lemon. Again with too much sweetness, but it was more bearable.

Jambalaya

It had a nice spicy flavor, but I found it was a bit too simple for a dish priced at $15.75. Definitely wouldn’t get this if I didn’t have a gift card. More disappointment.

We had a coupon for a free pizookie but we were all too full so we just left.

Disappointed by the drinks, food, and the service wasn’t all that great either. I felt like I was being rushed by how fast he was speaking and he got the orders wrong also. At least I was eating with good company though!
