Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    We were promptly greeted and seated. Staff were attentive and helpful. Only hiccup was when we scanned the QR code to pay-unsuccessful after three attempts so our server completed the transaction in the customary manner.

     the service was slow and almost not existent. My steak was so overcooked that it was painful to see that poor animal killed again.

    I booked a reservation for 3 at 7:30 pm by open table. Reached BJ’s and they asked me to wait. By 8pm I got the table. After getting seated by 8:00 pm no one came to take order at my table till 8:20 am. I asked the server who was serving the next table. He told he will send someone right away. Waited another 10 mins but no one came and we had to leave. Totally Disappointed.

    Food was great tasting. The calamari portion kind of small and had a lot of battered bits without seafood. Service, the waiter was training someone. We experience no wait person attention over 30 minutes. Many waters had been out over 20 kmnutes. Waiter never asked if we wanted another drink (we had two IPAs) Ambience, very busy and a little too loud. We had four of us and talking across the table to the person farest away was challenging at times with the noise level of the restaurant feed music.

    Thanks so much for your four-star review. We look forward to seeing you again soon, and we'll try for that fifth star.

    We used to be BJ’s loyalist but service was extremely disappointing yesterday. We were given a booth and there was water and crumpled tissues under it. We asked it to be cleaned. When they cleaned they mopped the water but didn’t bother to remove the crumpled tissues. We waited for close to thirty minutes for dinner which was ok but right before we were told that the white rice for Jambalaya was finished and now it would have to be served with brown rice. It was too late to order something else … then when the burgers and sliders came the meat was overcooked for everyone and the chicken too salty. Even the Mac and cheese lookrd very unappealing so I’m not sure what’s happened at this place.

    We are so sorry you were not satisfied with your BJ’s visit and hope you can give us another chance. Next time, if anything about your experience can be improved, please let our managers know so we can make it right while you are dining with us. Thank you for your feedback.
