Review from Firstname L.
Kingston, NY

Stopped here because I don't know the area and it was highly rated on Yelp and I don't know the area. The other choice was a brewpub just down the block, and I thought my wife and 5 YO son would appreciate the variety here more than at a brewpub.
The area is very nice with some small stores.
We were seated fast and the booths are very private. They have a booth with a large fish tank, which we didn't sit at becaues there was a part of 5 that was sitting there for a long time, but if you can get that seat, it's probably really fun for kids.
Our waitress was friendly and helpful.
I got the BBQ sampler, which was great. All the food is tasty. My son got the personal pizza. I couldn't tell if it was a frozen mass produced item or made locally (I suspect it was a foodservice item). My BBQ, was, however, very good and obviously made there.
No complaints, and my wife gave me credit for finding a good place (thanks Yelp!)
We walked around the area to shop and felt safe in the neighborhood.
Note: we happened to get seated right away, but that is probably because we were there on a tuesday night (and it was still pretty full!). I definitely recommend making a reservation before going.
I would consider this a 3 star establishment. -

BJ's is one of the better restaurants/bars in the area. It's a bit pricey but mostly worth it. I recommend the Big Bubba's Shrimp (ask for them extra spicy) and the Snicker's Pie for dessert!
The home-brewed BJs ale is pretty good too and if you're feeling adventurous get the BJ's Bomber- it's huge and potent. -

Following my son's graduation from Bucknell University down the road, we decided to have a casual dinner here at BJ's. It was a good choice.
Street parking was plentiful, but it was a Sunday evening. Menu choices were a multitude of rib and meat choices. I had the Chicago Steak and it was well-prepared with a tasty seasoning. Everyone else raved about their steak and/or ribs.
Our waiter was delightful. He was friendly and attentive, which added to an already festive evening.
I was able to find BJ's on Open Table. I'm glad I did. -

I got the Frickles (fried pickles) which were awesome! I'm used to a thinner slice of the pickle, but these thicker ones pack that pickle crunch as well as the crisp from being fried.
Pulled work was also really good. I was pleasantly surprised on how good it was, being all the way up in Danville. The only thing missing for me was some sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, but it was still delicious without it.
Would I do it again? Of course! -

Years ago my wife and I used to enjoy the meals here. Today I'm happy to report the food was as outstanding as we remembered. From the delicious crab dip (unfortunately too small a serving) and hot and tasty Lobster Bisque it was a great meal. The French Roquefort marinated Butch Block Steak was absolutely fantastic. This had to be one of the best steaks I've ever tasted. Overall high prices are backed by fresh, well prepared and served dishes. I will be back when in the Danville area.

I drive 6 hours to Danville, PA twice a year and this is a favorite stop of ours. Nestled in the old downtown area you will find BJ's Steak & Ribs.
With a variety of great local brews like Lionshead and Yuengling on tap, you can't go wrong. Then they serve it up with a casual yet trendy decor and ribs and steak that is hard to beat.
I recently had the steak and half rack. Both served to perfection and had a house salad and delicious sweet coleslaw on the side.
The service was friendly and just top notch. It was so good that we left a 40% tip. Here's to good customer service! You rarely find that any more. -

This is the place for meat-atarians. The burgers are house-ground daily and great for a full lunch. For dinner, the barbeque, ribs and aged steaks are the best in the area. The atmosphere is also nice with plenty of dark wood and a general blues music theme. Definitely ask for the aquarium table right next to the hostess' stand if you can get it. BJ's is a little bit more expensive than other restaurants in the area, but consistently excellent with service and food quality.

This Steak & Rib house serves up a mighty fine meal. The steak is great, as is the burger, though I'd skip the bacon on that burger - it was less well-done than it could have been, and not a great cut of bacon. The appetizer menu looks terrific, though it is probably something best tackled with the help of a few friends, since portions are pretty generous to begin with.
Seating is upstairs, downstairs, or at the bar. In the evening, there are families with kids there enjoying the good food and family-friendly upstairs dining area. Later on at night, it's a fine place to go for a pitcher of beer with a few friends. If beer's not really your thing, (I don't really care for beer) they also have Woodchuck cider - my favorite! The beer selection seems decent, and they have mixed drinks as well, of course.
I've been here a few times; the service has been very good every time, and the food has been great too.
I'm ranking the price as moderate - last time I was there it was about $15 for a bacon cheddar burger and (really good) fries, with a Woodchuck cider. Obviously a fancier meal, or one with more alcohol, will be more expensive. -

A typical dark-paneled pub, BJs serves up some pretty tasty food. It's rich in the good ole American pub tradition, but that hits the spot when you're in the mood to be stuffed.
My favorite on the menu is the pulled pork barbecue. It's a pretty good take on the Southern classic - great for barbecue in the North. Make sure you get it with the coleslaw served right on top.
The French Fries are especially good, as are the Nachos. And you can't forget dessert! Their Snickers pie is justifiably famous.
Friendly service and comfortable booths round out the experience.
