Excellent meal with wonderful and very pleasant service. I'd recommend BJs to anyone who wants to have a fine dinning experience. Thank you so much.... P.S....the chicken fajitas are just incredible.

Overall. Fair. Fajitas. Only chicken and green peppers. Burrito. Overcooked rubbery tortillas covered with burnt cheese. Inside a minuscule portion of beef. No beans no rice inside. Rice was included and it was hard and not edible. Not the place it used to be. Avoid

Friendly service and hearty food, you won't be disappointed if you are feeling like having a cozy meal with friends. While not being super fancy, the menu offers a wide range of typical Canadian dishes, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a nice Irish pub. You'll also get service in both official languages if you want it so. Enjoy!

The food is cold and to cooked, but the service is good. Choose other restaurant

Friendly bi-lingual service. Delicious food. Minor issue was a little slow to get seated even though there were places to sit. Had to walk over to one of the wait staff to get their attention after a couple minutes standing at the entrance, but were very professional and friendly once I did. Overall, I recommend this place and will be going back.

Some times we go to this place with families or friends. Not satisfied more than that. Plate of shrimp/sirloin (med well cooked) (overcooked - burn) - nicely browned fillet but fries option is frozen fries - Last time, had tasted a plate of chicken - overcooked (dry)

great personality and excellent food

I dont understand why a restaurant refuses to prepare a take-out order because there are people in the dining room. I would have agreed to come later, but no, only a categorical refusal. Its sad, it was the first time and I live on Church Street. I could have become a good customer. Unfortunately, I will never go. In the future, you should offer alternatives. I dont think a restaurant in Buckingham lives so much on gold. I hope you will rectify the situation so as not to lose future customers every time like this.

One of the oldest restaurants still open in Buckingham, QC (Gatineau). Great place for a steak at a very reasonable price. If you want to support local businesses, eat at BJs. A must if youre looking for a place for a good dinner in Buckingham! Good steaks, very reasonable prices. Support our local businesses!

Maybe have something on your website stating you only accept reservations, instead of having people drive all the way there to be turned away. We couldnt even wait for a seat and were told reserve only.

Very cold in the restaurant. The restaurant had forgotten to unlock the door to enter so we had to call them. The food is not well presented and the meat is boiled and disgusting. A big no.

Despite the warm atmosphere, the prices are high compared to the food which is not excellent. Everyone at our tables dishes were cold and the food was bland. On the other hand, cheese sticks come in large quantities!

Today I have to experience mourning and no I am not talking about mortality in my family, rather a mourning of a restaurant which was once excellent and I named BJ. This is the third time Ive been there in the last month and the three attempts were a great disappointment. In the past I remember that it was excellent but now except for the lighting, the decor and the beer tastes like beer I have nothing positive to say. The service is meh, the portions are disappointing, the meat is bland, but especially when the plate arrives, more often than not, its already cold and no I didnt order ice cream. So I made the sad decision not to go back there again.

December 21, 2023

Really surprised by the welcome. This is a restaurant that I frequent regularly. This evening at 7 p.m. the owner tells us that the table is reserved in 5 minutes!!!! Why didnt they tell us when we arrived all the other tables were free at that time. A fly had bitten him all of a sudden. No one showed up, anyway there were still enough free tables and at 9 p.m. it was already closed. We wont take it again. Thanks for encouraging him for several years and also during confinement.

Contrairement aux autres commentaires, le service etait rapide mais la qualité du repas etait discutable. Nous avons commandé un Fajitas double et il y avait très très peu daccompagnement et le propriétaire a le culos de charger des extras pour ce que nous jugions plus que raisonnable. Lambiance est passable. Cetait notre première et dernière visite.
