heh, maybe the ones down in Cali are better. Seemed just OK to me, nothing special, but whatever.

This was my first thought as well. As far chains go I usually hate them but BJ's is ok.

Don't have these in PA, though it reminds me of Rock Bottom

For those that have both, are they pretty similar?

The couple of times I went to this place it struck me as very okay. A couple of my friends raved about it. But it couldn't stand out as a place to frequent while I was living in Houston because I was a big fan of another restaurant/micro-brewery, Two Rows in Rice Village.

BJ's is pretty good. Solid pizza and burgers, decent beers, extensive menu. I'm a fan. I remember really liking the jambalaya and the sausage calzones.

Buffalo chicken tenders with a tall glass of Regatta Red makes me salivate just thinking about it.

terrible service, but i really like their salads...

we don't have these in the northeast but it sounds a lot like this place http://southportbrewing.com/

it also goes by initials, SBC. sounds like a cookie cutter of BJ's.

their food was a bit overpriced for what it was. slightly above average. i seem to remember a story about finding a big tapeworm in some of the piping that carried beer for their taps. it was about 5 years ago, and i can't find anything about it on the internet. maybe it was just a bad dream.

I almost never go out to restaurants like this. I very rarely go out to the midscale chain type places.
