Improvements Through The Years

BJ’s Bingo is always improving the playing experience for our customers. Improvements range from renovations of the building to creating comfortable space for our clients.

Our Food and Beverage Department alone has changed from offering a simple menu of hot dogs, popcorn, sodas and coffee at a little tiny counter to a full service menu.

Thirty four years ago the menu was simple, as time passed we added homemade p-nut butter and chocolate chip cookies and pineapple upside down cake to the menu.

At one point they closed down for kitchen renovations. While closed down they made sandwiches on bingo tables before the doors opened and had snacks like jerky and chips for our hungry bingo players.

Anne Haus was hired to work in the kitchen and potato salad and hot soup was added to the menu.  Later on Edna Cooper started cooking breakfasts, and burgers and fries were added to the cold sandwiches and hotdogs.

John and Hayward began to cook and they started making specials of the day, homemade soups and expanding the menu with more variety.

When we did our last major renovation many things changed in the food and beverage department. A full service kitchen with a steam table and salad bar, as well as a pizza oven and grills and deep fryers in the kitchen created an expansion of delectable choices for our customers.

We also added such wonderful food areas as the Candy Bar offering delicious treats and lattes as well as having a fully stocked bar.

Did I mention bar? We have 4 bar locations at BJ’s The Candy Bar, The Bison Bar, Smokey Joe’s Cigar Bar and Lounge, and the Casino Bar.

BJ’s has always offered hot dogs on the menu, why? Simply because they are a favorite of the founder of our company, BJ herself.

We still sell an all beef hotdog for only $2.75 with all the condiments you need. If you like yours a bit fancier you can get a polish dog or a jalapeno dog for just $3.00.

So the next time you plan to come down and try your luck at BJ’s, remember you can do it all here in one location, dinner and a cocktail, a game of bingo, dessert and espresso, and Slots or Speed Bingo, or you can relax up in Smokey Joe’s Cigar Bar and Lounge.
