Nothing says summer quite like BBQ flavors, which is why BJ's new Hickory Brisket Nachos are perfect for the warm days ahead. The sharable new dish consists of crispy corn tortilla chips topped with a generous portion of hickory-smoked BBQ brisket tossed with BJ’s Peppered BBQ Sauce, and then topped with melted jack and cheddar cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, red onion, housemade guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, fire roasted salsa, and pico de gallo. As if that weren't enough, BJ's new summer menu also contains several other tasty creations, including the Big Twist Pretzel served with BJ’s Brewhouse Blonde beer cheese, the Buffalo Stampede Chicken Pasta tossed with Tatonka Stout creamy buffalo sauce, and much more.
