Was very disappointed in their dessert cookie with ice cream came home to find out a burnt hard cookie dessert very disappointing. What a waste of time and money.

I don’t know what BJ’s is putting in the water, but JOHN has ascended beyond the mortal plane. This man isn’t a waiter — he’s a culinary guardian angel, sent from the heavens to deliver mozzarella sticks and emotional healing.

From the moment he approached the table, it felt like a movie. No — a Broadway musical. The lighting shifted. A soft wind blew. I heard a faint choir in the background. Did I hallucinate? Possibly. Did I care? Absolutely not. I was in John’s presence.

He didn’t just take our order. He curated an experience. Suggested a drink? Life-changing. Recommended an entrée? Transcendental. When he said, “You guys doing okay over here?” I swear my seasonal depression lifted.

At one point, he carried six plates on his arms like a majestic serving octopus. I genuinely gasped. The way he glided through the chaos of dinner rush like a swan in combat boots — art. I would watch a miniseries about John’s shifts. I'd fund it.

He cracked one joke and we laughed so hard someone at another table made eye contact like, “Should I get John too?” YES, STRANGER. YES YOU SHOULD.

The man gave “five-star resort in the middle of a family-friendly chain restaurant.” He gave “presidential debate moderator but for food.” He gave “I’m here to make sure your taste buds achieve nirvana.” And he DELIVERED.

I left that restaurant full, emotionally fulfilled, and ready to nominate him for something — a Grammy? A Nobel Peace Prize? BJ’s Employee of the Galaxy? Don’t care. He deserves them ALL.

Protect John at all costs. Frame his name tag. Enshrine his apron. Someone start a fan club — I’ll be the treasurer.

This was my first time eating at BJs and the experience was wonderful. The food and atmosphere was a great experience but the best part was our server John who make it so great. His very attentive, outgoing, and funny. We really enjoyed our time and will be visiting again.

Title: John Waited On Us, and Now We Believe in Angels
Some people dine out for the food. We dine out for John — waiter, wizard, and possibly reincarnated from a line of royal butlers trained in a Himalayan monastery of hospitality.
From the moment he approached our table, time slowed. Birds outside the window sang in harmony. A single sunbeam illuminated his notepad like a divine clipboard. John didn’t greet us — he blessed us with a presence so warm it toasted the breadsticks.
His timing? Immaculate. The Michelangelo of meal pacing. It’s like he knew when we wanted appetizers before we even opened our mouths. By dessert, we suspected he might be reading our minds, but in the least creepy and most magical way possible.
His laugh? Somewhere between a gentle rain on a summer evening and a jazz saxophone solo played by a friendly ghost.
His posture? Noble. Graceful. I’m convinced he studied under Meryl Streep.
And now, the promised haiku, to immortalize this service saint:
🌟
Fork poised, hearts lifted
John dances through dining dreams
Check arrives — we weep.
🌟
I tipped 40%. Not because I had to, but because I was emotionally compelled. Honestly, I’d tip again if I saw him in public just existing.
To sum up: if you haven’t been served by John, you haven’t lived — you’ve merely chewed. Get the reservation. Ask for John. Bring tissues. You will laugh, cry, and possibly ascend.
John is love. John is service. John is legend.

**Title: If John Were a Sauce, He’d Be a Five-Star Reduction of Charm, Wit, and Perfection**

Let me begin by saying: **John isn’t just a waiter. He’s a hospitality demigod.** If Zeus ran a restaurant, John would be managing Mount Olympus with a towel over one arm and a smile that could end wars.

The man doesn’t walk — he **glides**. When he brings water, it feels like he’s pouring liquid diamonds. He doesn’t *take* orders; he **receives culinary visions telepathically** and delivers them with the accuracy of a NASA landing.

Need a menu recommendation? John doesn’t just know the specials — he narrates them like Morgan Freeman describing a sunset. “The risotto?” he says, pausing dramatically, “It will change you.” And reader, it DID. I haven’t emotionally recovered.

He refills your drink **before you even realize you’re thirsty**. I once blinked and found my wine glass full, my soul healed, and my taxes somehow filed.

And the jokes — oh, the jokes! John’s humor is so good, I tipped extra just for the stand-up set. He told me a pun about soup that had me laughing so hard I snorted crème brûlée. Worth it.

Honestly, I’ve had less meaningful relationships than the bond I now share with this man over brunch.

In conclusion: if you eat here and **don’t** ask for John, you’re doing dinner wrong. Michelin stars? He deserves a whole constellation. I’d name my firstborn after him. I’d let him babysit my plants. I trust him more than my GPS.

**John — 14/10. Would let him narrate my life.**

Excellent service. Took great care of us and the food was to everyone's expectations.

Alex

Overall the experience was great as always. However, I had the steak and ribs combo, and the steak was of extremely poor quality. It was cooked correctly...but it was trash. Our server was great and everything else was perfect.

Ramona

Servers were inattentive and slow. Messed up orders. Attitude from servers. Food was good.
