My husband and I went for dinner at your location and were met with great service, fed great and tasty food and very personable servers. We especially enjoyed our server, Blanca! She was very attentive, took our order very quickly, checked in on us regularly and was very pleasant and personable to deal with. She's a keeper! Thank you for a very nice evening!

I have mixed feelings about this place, but when the majority rules, I guess we're going back to BJ's. Saturday lunch with a small party. It's much easier if you make a reservation ahead of time, we had only a brief wait before being seated. The service was great, and the host and waitress were all very friendly and helpful. We started with an appetizer sampler (beef sliders, chicken wings, tortilla chips with spinach & artichoke dip, and mozzarella sticks) for the table which everyone enjoyed, all very tasty. For my meal I ordered the fish & chips. The fries were good, but the fish...no good. The batter is very generic, and the fish is very limp and soggy. Parts of the fish were cooked crispy whereas other parts the batter was easily separated from the fish, just not a good batter either way. We also ordered a round of pizookies for the table which are always a crowd pleaser. I guess it all depends on what you get here, but steer clear of the fish & chips. read more

My friend has been raving about the wedge salad at BJ's, so we decided to stop by and have it for dinner. We decided to sit at the bar area since it's self-seating. We scoped the area for open table and were told that we can grab one that's open even if it needs to be cleaned. Once we found a table, we asked the front desk to confirm if that seat would be okay. They told us it was fine and cleared the table for us. However, a server later approached me and said that other guests were seated at the table but left to the restroom. I wasn't sure how to respond to that because we were just told that the table was available. A different server came to clear the confusion and assured my friend and I that we're okay to stay seated. She made sure to let us know that we were welcome to dine here. Despite that initial confusion, I ordered my wedge salad and I could definitely see why my friend likes it so much. It was crunchy and refreshing. Our server was excellent and often stopped by our table to make sure everything was going great. read more

We decided to go to BJs and it was the best decision ever. It's so pretty outside the restaurant, great decor. Walking inside, we did get seated immediently so we came at a good time. Our server was the sweetest girl, I notice she was handling all the tables on one side of the resturant. She was really good and fast. We got all our drinks and foods very quickly. I got their Unlucky Duck drink I've been seeing! I wish it was a little bit stronger, it was mainly all juice. The food was amaaazing. Absolutely no complaints. Our server told us their specials for the day and it made our dine in better! What a great experience overall. Will be coming back. read more

Came here for my daughter's 11th birthday with the rest of our family. We had a good time and the food was good as well as decent service. Nothing was bad but nothing was excellent either. Just a so-so meal. It was nice they brought her a little birthday ice cream treat. All and all, about what you expect from a chain restaurant. read more

We had dinner and both ordered off the pazooki menu. We also ordered an appetizer off of the happy hour menu. The food was great, but the service was not. They have some really good deals, which we love. They were very crowded and it seemed short staffed. We would try to call our waitress, but she would always look the other direction. But like I said, the food was really good. The pazooki meals are only thirteen dollars and you receive a dessert with them at the end of your meal. We ordered the smash burger meal and the fried chicken, which comes with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn. Both were super yummy. We also ordered the guacamole and chips from the happy hours menu $4. Plenty of food and we took home leftovers. read more

Love BJ's, another good default restaurant you can't go wrong with. Similar to Yardhouse or Cheesecake Factory. Got the Asian Salad with chicken, and it was better than I thought! Low calorie, healthy, but filling. My personal favorites from all my visits are the avocado egg rolls and the pizookies. Gotta love how they add seasonal flavors to the pizookies. For beer, a good default is the Jeremiah Red. Service is hit or miss depending on your server and of course how busy they are. read more

No complaints by anyone George and Matt were busy. A Pazooki was brought out for my grandson he shared it and and finished it all. BJ's was ready for the holiday weekend. Restaurant staff and food were excellent. The restaurant inside was packed as we were leaving at 6:30.

My wife and I absolutely enjoy coming to BJ's. The food and service are always consistent great . Our server Anandi W. Was so incredible and so very sweet and professional. Even though it was busy she still went the extra mile to make sure our needs were met. I know she had a long day and had to be tired, yet she did her job with pride and excellence. BJ's is lucky to have someone of her caliber. Thank you Anandi!!!! read more

I came here for lunch on Wednesday and had their $13 Pizookie meal deal with the smash burger entree. I love the smash burger here and the fries always come out fresh and crispy. The burger has lettuce and pickles and the meat itself always has juice and flavor, the pizookie is a must especially when it comes with your meal and is cheaper than a regular entree. For lunch we were seated very quickly and our waitress was kind, quick and prompt! We had a great time with convos, overhead music and plenty of tvs around. Typically when i'm here it's around dinner time and the wait is usually quite long, but to come here for lunch on a weekday was a nice change of pace and we were in and out pretty quick with full bellies. read more

I haven't been here in years and it will be years until I'm back again. There wasn't anything enticing enough to bring me back. They have an entire beer menu in their menu and an entire beer menu on their wall. They even have tons of beer handles at the bar. But...apparently it's all for show. They only have BJ's beers (and even some of those are out), Michelob ultra, and Modelo. The service was okay. The food was okay. read more

I'm always satisfied when I eat here! Service was great today & it's a good place to bring your family. The food is good & so is the beer.

We decided to stop by after a graduation on the spur of the moment. We showed up exactly at opening time (11am) and still had to wait 30 minutes or so due to reservations. I wasn't upset as we had a party of 10. Everyone enjoyed their food and our waitress was AMAZING although I didn't get her name. She came out with a very nice tip just for being a great waitress! read more

I'm in town this week for work and our group ordered from BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse through DoorDash. When the food got delivered, we realized the driver had only picked up one bag, so we were missing most of the order for our group of five. We called the restaurant just to explain what happened, and the manager we spoke with was honestly one of the nicest people I've ever dealt with. Even though it clearly wasn't their fault, he immediately offered to remake the entire order for us. No hassle, no attitude--just genuinely great customer service. Honestly, I haven't even eaten the food yet, but the way the manager and employees handled the situation already made this a great experience. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, and they really went out of their way to make it right. I'm only here on a work trip for the week, but I'll definitely be stopping by before I head home. Really appreciate the way the team handled everything. Thanks again! read more

Delivered. Several items missing. Some poorly prepared. Will never use again. Menu looks good, but not what you get

Went there for lunch and was very surprised, happy and amazed by the $13.00 lunch pazooki special. Fast excellent service from our server. Fast buss service. Fast delivery of quality food. 3 courses for 13 dollars. What more can you ask for. read more

I only went back here because my daughter wanted a pozookie for her birthday. 12 of us dined here and almost all the food was disgusting. I ordered a steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak looked boiled. I got the garlic butter and it was not butter at all it looked like something I can't say and it tasted like old garlic. The asparagus was thinner than a chopstick. We received half the tables food before everyone else and a full 15 minutes later the other half got their food. The waitress and Vissers never took old plates so we had to pile them in the middle. Drinks were not refilled. The waitress was made aware of our food being cold and gross and told us that she gave a stern message to the cooks. The manager was called and instead of rectifying the situation he took off the gratuity and punished the server! Absolute terrible management and I will never go back here. read more

We had the best birthday lunch for our son. keto and Mikayla were our servers. And they both were phenomenal! We didn't have to wait long for our food and with our picky kids Keto got the order perfect the first time. They both were very accommodating and friendly. Never had to ask for anything because they were on top of it. We came during brunch hour with no reservation and we were seated faster than the wait time they estimated us. Food was delicious definitely will be coming back. Hopefully we are lucky enough to be paired with the same servers. read more

This has always been one of my guilty pleasure restaurants in town but the service never fails here so I will always be a fan! Our server tonight was our best experience yet though hands down.

We will be requesting her everytime we come in from now on! read more

My wife is a huge BJs fan and convinced to order this for dinner on DoorDash the other night and I've been sleeping on BJs! They are awesome!! On New Year's Day, we didn't feel like going out so we ordered BJs and within 45 min I had my food at my house. My wife ordered a salad and she loved it. Great price, large salad, no complaints here. I decided to go with a kids pizza for 9.99. It came with fries and a small drink. I threw on a couple more toppings at 1.99 each but I'm happy that I did. My pizza was excellent and I loved the deep dish. Overall, I can't wait to have them again. I'm huge pizza lover and I can decently get down with Chicago style / deep dish pizza, and BJs is great. Make sure to check them out if your in the area. Thanks BJ! Till next time. read more

Been here a couple of times. The first one was just for their pizzookie (hey, don't judge!) and the second and latest one was for some drinks with friends. They have a wide selection of drinks and food. Since we wanted to try different drinks, we went for their margarita flight. Good choice, I think, spicy mango was our hands down favorite! We paired our drinks with their deep dish nachos. Very good size, good but not really exceptional. It was more than enough to fill two not-so-hungry people. Overall restaurant vibe was nice. Loved the service especially. A good place to go as a group and I won't mind going back here for a casual date. read more

Absolutely love coming to BJ's for lunch. Currently they have a $13 lunch menu that comes with a mini pazookie and it is the perfect amount of food and dessert! My husband went with the smokehouse Burger. The patty was cooked absolutely perfect - medium well. I went with the strawberry fields salad, though I did substitute feta cheese in place of the blue cheese. Still, it was absolutely delicious and filling. For dessert I chose the brownie fudge pazookie and it was heaven! Our server Vivi was very kind and attentive, and though we sat in the bar area, it wasn't as loud as it usually is during the dinner rush. read more

We made a reservation for Mother's Day, and when we arrived, we waited about 20 minutes before our name was called. Once we were seated, our waitress promptly took our drink orders. We chose a variety of dishes, including shrimp jambalaya, a whole pepperoni pizza, buffalo chicken wings, honey chicken wings, habanero chicken wings, and a kids' meal. It took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and I ordered some mojitos and strawberry lemonade, both of which were delicious. Overall, the food was fantastic--the chef did an outstanding job! The bartender also crafted our drinks perfectly. Our waitress was excellent and provided attentive service throughout our meal. The restaurant was packed, with a long waiting line, so I was really glad we made a reservation and got a comfortable seating area. Everything was great, and I have no complaints! read more

Everytime I go here the server/ waiter whoever takes our order is always so rude and has attitude. Just becusee u see young people ordering doesnt mean they wont tip. I've been here multiple times and have had multiple waiters who were all rude and had attitude. It was honestly embarrassing. Bjs fix ur staff. A tip is a required award for good hospitality. Ur waiters genuinely need to practice manners and attitude. read more

This was very very good all American smash burger was the best burger in the world and service was great! Four and a half stars

This is definitely my number one restaurant in Bakersfield. The food is always delicious and of course, my favorite drink is the lemon martini. But let me tell you this summer drink was really good too bad I couldn't have two because I was driving. And let's talk about this appetizer. I don't know how long it's been on the menu, but I hope it never goes away. It was delicious and my kids enjoyed it. And like always the restaurant is clean and the staff always greets you with smile. read more

Well, this is my Pizookie. My husband was at the bar, and I figured he could bring it home if I ordered online. For some reason, they gave him the pizookie way ahead of time and all burnt. Smh, I get that it was free, but why even offer it if they are going to do this. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats so I'm aware that by the time my order gets to me, it's not going to be hot. There was a group of us and so we ordered some appetizers, a pizza and dessert. The appetizers, guacamole, and spinach artichoke dip were delicious. The pizza which was a margarita pizza with basil and mushrooms was awful. There wasn't enough cheese, and the basil was burnt. In terms of the desserts, each one of them came with ice cream. However, the ice cream was not delivered. What bugs me the most is this isn't the first time that this is happened when ordering the cookie dessert that includes ice cream. This is my third time ordering the dessert and the third time the ice cream was not included. Third times the charm for me. No more ordering from BJ's when using Uber eats. read more

We've been to BJs a few times, and I've never had any problems. Last night, Valentine's Day dinner was great. It was crowded and noisy, but that is to be expected. We did not have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. Food is always very good, especially the Sliders...mmmmmm. Booths and even tables are good size, and they're not too close to each other. It seems everyone has their own privacy. Staff seem professional and friendly. BJs is definitely a dinner favorite for us. read more
