Oatmeal stout was awesome last month! We usually get The Great White Pizza.
Last time I had the Fish and Chips its was good. Beer is made by the good folks at St. Arniolds Brewery. The kids like the pan of brownie with ice cream on top.

I've only been once and didn't order food. I only got the beer sampler and while none of them were terrible, none of them were incredible, either.

When I'm away on business I look for a BJs as a fallback to a city not having any better place. We have a BJs in Austin but I tend to go to other favorite beer haunts like and Opal Divine's, Draught House, and now Flying Saucer.

Food at BJs is very good, atmosphere is open and there are sports screens at the bar. I like NW hops so their brews, which tendsto be somewhat malty and European hops, is nothing special for me. They do have some microbrew bottles on hand though. It's much more geared to the restaurant side and staff not really well educated on beer (generally!). One of the better BJ's I visited was in Oxnard, CA. However, I'm sure good timing and great staff on hand is all transient.

The BJ's in Valencia is really good. Very Popular. Chilis doesn't hold a candle to them. Excellent food. The Pihrana Red is the best they have, followed by the nutty brunette.

I went there last night and I got their "7 sampler." It's 5 or 6 ounces of each of their 7 standard beers. Here's my reviews:

BJ's Brewhouse Blonde - A decent, yet unimpressive kolsch lager. For fans of lighter beers this might be alright, but I am clearly biased so I didn't particularly care for this beer.

Harvest Hefeweizen - Call me a beer noob, but I've never had a hefeweizen this clovey before. The bavarian style hefe's that I've tried have all been on the banana side of the spectrum, or a balanced combination between the two. This must be fermented at a colder temperature because the clove taste is strong. I enjoyed this beer, but I secretly wished it was a bit more balanced. However, I could be biased toward what I am already familiar with. I need to give this one another shot.

Piranha Pale Ale - Delicious. This beer is similar in style to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, however it is noticeably crisper with a more hoppy aftertaste. It also finishes drier than SNPA. I loved it.

BJ's Jeremiah Red - A good irish red. Very true to its style. No big surprises... just a very drinkable beer. Well, I guess there is one surprise... a 7.3% alcohol level. This is kinda high for a red ale but it doesn't taste very alcoholic at all.

BJ's P.M Porter - Delicious as well. This may very well be my favorite out of the 7. Extremely smooth flavor, not too bitter, bold but not too bold, and a nice balance as well.

Tatonka Stout - Their "big beer." This is a typical imperial stout. Although this is a heavier beer than I'm currently used to, I really enjoyed it. It was strong, but it wasn't completely overpowering like some stouts I've tried. It was both malty and hoppy, and it had a very dry finish. The aftertaste will stay with you long after the beer is gone, but thankfully, it is a good aftertaste. I liked the porter a lot more, but this is still a good beer.

Nutty Brewnette - The last was their brown ale. This beer tasted a lot like Newcastle, except that it was quite a bit drier. Imagine a more hoppy Newcastle and you'll have an idea of what this beer tastes like. Pretty good, but not one of their best.

Overall, I really liked the Pale Ale, the Red, and the Porter. I'd say the porter was my favorite just because of the great balance and flavor. I'll order that exclusively the next time I go.
