BJ’s Brewhouse

BJ’s is a great place with a huge variety on their menu. We used to drive to Sugar Land all the time until they opened a location closer to us. Be sure to sign up for their rewards card and email newsletter. If you like beer they usually do a monthly beer pairing dinner too. We haven’t gotten to go yet, but if we do I’m sure I’ll blog about it.

Usually when we come we order their Signature Deep Dish Pizzas because they are the best pizza we have ever had. We decided to branch out this time and explore the menu some.

This time we ordered the Avocado Egg Rolls $10.50 (A blend of avocados, cream cheese, sun‑dried tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, pine nuts, chipotle peppers and spices. Served with a sweet tamarind sauce.) This is one of their popular items, while it’s good there’s just so many other better items on their menu to order.

I ordered the Balsamic Chicken $13.95 (Our marinated chicken breasts grilled and served over baby field greens, caramelized onions and white cheddar mashed potatoes. Topped with crispy fried onion strings and drizzled with sweet balsamic glaze.) The dish sounds more exciting that it was. The chicken was just ehh, but at least the sides where good. I would for sure order another dish next time and pass on this one. It’s not one you’ll regret, but if you have never been here before you won’t rush back.

D ordered the Crispy Jalapeno Burger $11.50 (Fried jalapeƱos, pepper jack cream cheese, chipotle mayonnaise, Baja sauce, red onions, tomato and lettuce.) It’s big and it’s messy. Not exactly first date food, but it is delicious and cooked just right.

We did get one of their famous pizookie, but if you tell them it’s your birthday you get one for free and save the $3.25 (small if it’s just 2 people at the table or $6.25 for regular size). Sometimes they are spot on and delicious, other times they over bake them. Can’t complain when it’s free, at least they don’t sing a song to you.
