My family of 5 spent $120 at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse. Most of our teens loved the chain, but we may not go back.

"I've avoided chain restaurants for years, but I've become more familiar with them since my teenagers started requesting to visit spots like Chili's and Applebee's. My 17-year-old son and his girlfriend often hit their favorite ones on date nights, and have long been singing their praises for BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse - a chain my husband and I had yet to visit."

"For his meal, my husband got the boneless wings - a full pound of battered, white-meat chicken bites that cost $16. Served with celery and a blue-cheese dipping sauce, the appetizer worked great as a full meal for him, leaving him satisfied with the portion size. BJ's offers a variety of options for wing sauces, ranging from honey barbecue to Nashville hot. My husband chose the sweet and spicy Asian glaze for his wings and found it to be flavorful and enjoyable."

A family of five visited BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse for the first time and spent $120 on drinks, an appetizer, entrées, and Pizookies for dessert. Some members of the party loved the meal, while others remained on the fence about coming back. BJ's began in 1978 and started brewing its own beers in the 1990s, expanding to dozens of locations across the U.S., including one near Central Florida. The husband ordered a $16 pound of boneless wings with celery and blue-cheese, chose a sweet and spicy Asian glaze, and found them flavorful and satisfying.
