Excellent service and delicious food! We had no room for dessert but will be returning next time we’re in town. The oysters were the best I’ve ever eaten and don’t miss the brisket or the shrimp and grits!! Can’t go wrong!

We had a wonderful meal at BJ's . Our server Jerrica W. was attentive and kind, and my appetizer Chips & House Made Guacamole + Salsa and entree Enlightened Asian Chopped Salad came out delicious and full of flavor. It was a nice finished to the night for our visit to Lexington, KY. We will be back.

BJ’s has the best host. He pays attention saw me coming through the door with my walker and always is there to help me. Gave us a table for six up close to the front as other in our party. Also need accessible seating. Everyone like their food. It’s hard to pass up the $13 Pazooki meal, lots of choices, entrée, side, and delicious Pazooki with ice ice cream. we will be back. But just one note… It’s odd that when you look at their menu online, it is not quite as similar to the menu dining in. Server confirmed that also. Lots of online specials you may want to pay attention to five dollar and $10 bottles of wine, reduced prices, additional entrées.
