BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

I've tried BJ's several times since moving to Las Vegas in 2014, including recently, on 15 Apr 2024.
Although there are several of them between the Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin areas, I always seem to come back to this location (mainly because of its close proximity to my house), whenever I'm with a bigger party.
I will say this...BJ's is not my go-to restaurant whenever I'm dining with my immediate family because I don't feel it's as spectacular as many make it out to be.
However, whenever I'm with a larger party, I don't mind coming here because this restaurant does have a robust menu which offers entrées to satisfy whatever craving you have, especially for those groups that can't decide on what food genre that everyone can agree on. During the recent visit, my wife and I ordered the 10-Piece Bone-In Wings (BJ's Handcrafted Root Beer Glaze), Deep Dish Nachos, Jumbo Pretzel w/Beer Cheese, Power Bowl with Chicken, and Jambalaya.
The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce was good.
The pretzel was phenomenal and the nachos were adequate.
My wife really loved the Chicken Power Bowl; however, my Jambalaya was less than adequate.
Whereas the flavor overall was decent, I'm just not used to having a "dry" Jambalaya.
Also, some of the rice grains weren't cooked all the way.
Regardless, it wasn't too big of a deal to bring it up to my server or management, and I even took the leftovers home with me.
Of noteworthy mention, the other two in our party had the Tri Tip + Shrimp Scampi and the Chicken Parmigiana, and they both enjoyed it a lot. To note, I've tried the following entrées in the past visits: Honey Sriracha Brussel Sprouts, Chicken Pot Stickers, Ahi Poke, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Chips and Housemade Guacamole/Salsa, Clam Chowder, Filet Mignon, BJ's Classic Ribeye, Full Rack Baby Back Pork Ribs, Atlantic Salmon, Spicy Peanut Chicken w/Soba Noodles, Classic Hamburger, Mashed Potatoes, Fries, Rice Pilaf, Garlic Roasted Vegetables, and Pizooki Trio.
Out of all these items, I wasn't a fan of the Classic Ribeye (lack of meat quality) and Spicy Peanut Chicken w/Soba Noodles (didn't taste authentic from an Asian standpoint) - everything else was adequate. Between all my visits, I'd say the service was great, with the most recent visit being spectacular.
Our server, Royce, did such an amazing job with our table and from what I observed, he did a remarkable job with other tables as well.
He was highly efficient, friendly, professional, and very attentive - did not skip a beat with his operations.
One concern I have with this restaurant is the floor.
I don't know what it is but every time I walk in that restaurant, it feels like I'm walking on an icy surface because it feels slippery.
At first I thought it was my shoes, but considering I've visited with different types of shoes/soles in the past, I've concluded it's not me. Even if this isn't my go-to restaurant, I still recommend this establishment to everyone.
This place has been in the business for quite some time and I know of several people that love this restaurant.
I have a lot of respect for this restaurant because of their continued support to the men and women of the Armed Forces - thank you for that! Recommendation to BJ's: Please update the restaurant's info on Google because it currently says, "Service options:...Doesn't accept reservations." Obviously this is false because we were allowed to make reservations online.

I'm rating this based on being a Celiac. Here's what I ordered last night at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Las Vegas. Make sure to ask for a gluten-free menu because their regular menu makes it seem as if they have no options. My non-gluten free husband ordered the Thursday rib special which came with 2 sides and a dessert.
He told me to order one of his sides for myself.
I ordered a side wedge salad. For my main dish I got the Santa Fe chicken salad without tortilla strips as they have a shared fryer. The dessert was a gluten-free chocolate chip pizookie, which is just their name for a large cookie in a skillet.
The gluten free ice cream comes in its own packaging to prevent cross-contamination from a scoop. Restaurants can be a bit loud and chaotic at times as it seems to be a favorite of huge groups of people. Latest visit: December 2023.
