Went there for a Halloween celebration with my coworkers and had an amazing time! For it to be as lively and packed as it was our food came so fast, speciality drinks were good and the service was good. The bingo game was such a fun!

The host staff was good, the ambience was fun (loud), which we expected, food was good, line dance instructor was good, restroom attendant was very friendly. The big let down was that our server did a minimal job at best. We sat with empty beverages for too long and had to seek her out to get service.

The food was great and the service was great too! They weren’t aware that they took reservations, so that was a little awkward, but thankfully they weren’t busy and were able to seat us quickly.

Our family had an excellent dining experience on Friday night. Our server, Chloe, was great (attentive, friendly and helpful)! We ordered the Brewhouse Bites Sampler and Honey Siracha Brussel Sprouts as appetizers. For entrees we had Prime Rib, Chicken Alfredo, the new Margherita Burrata Pizza and Waygu Burger. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were great! We had a flight of beers and really liked the Blonde and Jeremiah Red. For dessert, we shared one Triple Chocolate Pizookie. So yummy! This was a wondering first visit to the Murfreesboro BJ’s!
