The place on 410 where the old tom's ribs was. Looks like they've done it up nicely and I wouldn't mind trying it. They advertise lunch specials and all you can eat fish. Has anyone been yet? If so, tell us how it is and what the prices are like.

I've been to all you can eat places and I've liked them but I don't really have a gourmet pallet.

Would you really want to eat at a place called BJ's?

I saw that for the first time yesterday as I was driving on 410 yesterday afternoon. I was wondering the same. I saw the advertised all you can eat fish too.

It probably wouldn't be bad as long as you didn't sit next to a spitter...

I sure wouldn't trust their tartar sauce.

BJ's Brewhouse is really good. They built one out by 281 past 1604.

Yeah, their pizza is awesome, and BJ's stout and pale ale are both very good beers IMO (though I'm not a fan of any of their other brews).

I haven't gone here but go to the one in OC. There happy hr specials are great, the pizzas are cheap.

OK...I checked out out this weekend. It normal "order off the menu" not all you can eat.

Food is OK. Read that not great but I didn't get sick either. Prices are reasonable...very mid scale dining. I'd say entrees from $6 for pasta to $20 if you went steak/lobster.

I ordered a bowl of gumbo as an appetizer. The roux was not that great...pretty weak, actually...more of a soup than a gumbo and it didn't have any pop...required lots of hot sauce, pepper, etc. just to make it marginally interesting. gumbo was a fail.

had a fried oyster poor boy. (about $10) It was big...served on a section of french bread loaf cut in half, and pounded out as garlic toast...weren't enough oysters (5) and other fixins to cover all the sandwich...french fries were just like Bill Millers...yuck. poor boy got a B- for the uniqueness of the bread but got popped for everything else...

Ketchup was a Heinz bottle obviously refilled with a different brand. This is normally an automatic disqualifier for me and I never go back...probably will be the same for this place.

I saw a steak on someone elses plate. looked like something out of a TV dinner.

I saw a lobster that looked like a normal frozen rock lobster tail. The baked potato looked pretty good but I didn't see the normal baked potato "goodies" like cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, etc....maybe they just hadn't brought them yet...

All in all, the place is very marginal. If you want to eat there you better hurry before they go out of business. Sea Island totally kicks their ass on seafood.

I have never been but I like to say I'm going to get a BJ for lunch.


Who owns the joint?

Worse than Sea Island? Wow, and Sea Island sucks.

True. If Sea Island comes above OK on quality of food, then San Antonio seafood must be truly awful.

I didn't say Sea Island was great, but that the food was better than this place.
