We're harsh critics, and can find nothing to criticize about this restaurant. I'm skeptical of the reviewer who complained about the food and the beer, both of which rate excellent in my book. Each has his own idea of perfection, but to call the food and beer here the ""worst"" sounds suspicously like an attack from a competitor.\r

The complaint about being crammed in with 50,000 other people speaks for itself. I think it was Yogi Berra who said, ""Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!"" While crowds are not a reliable way to rate a restaruant, I've learned to be leery of sparcely populated joints. In this case, the crowds are there for good reason. The food and beer are never a disappointment. The place is large enough anyway, and I've never felt crowded or found it uncomfortable to have a normal conversation.\r

The chicken wings here are a favorite of mine. Have them run them through twice to get them properly crispy though. Left to their own devices, BJ's doesn't understand that wings should be crispy, but they don't mind when you tell them you want them that way. The presenation is creative, not at all ""burger basket"".\r

We've never been disappointed with any menu selection. My wife and I have different preferences in foods, but we both agree on this place and look forward to our visits.\r

Yes, the prices are on the high side, but not back breaking. And while you don't always get what you pay for in life, you generally pay for what you get. In this case, the high prices are justified by the superb quality of the food. If not, the crowds wouldn't be there for long, now would they?
Pros: Excellent food and beer
Cons: High prices
