    Wow, I can't believe I'm just now writing a review for BJ's considering how many times I've been here over the years! I've been to several locations and have tried so many different items on the menu. BJ's is known for their pizza and, of course, their Pizookies, and that's exactly what I ordered this time. You really can't go wrong with either. The pizza is always good, but let's be real...the Pizookie is the real reason to come to BJ's!

    We came for the Thursday tri tip special. My sides were baked potato and vegetables. The tri tip looked delicious until I tried to eat it. There was a huge hunk of FAT . See my photo. So gross. The waitress was very nice and efficient. Loved the pizzooki.

    Substantial portions

    Visiting with family we were seated rather quickly. Not much of a wait at the time we came. Service was prompt and efficient attentive to our needs. Inside has lots of tables for large groups to gather, bar area to catch a game and booth seating. Food was good, substantial portions. Their classic American menu has a variety to choose from. Burgers, pizza, salads, sides and more. Our family was satisfied with their meals.

    We've been loving BJ's $13 Meal Deal! It comes with plenty of delicious entrée options, and the best part is that it includes a mini Pizookie for dessert. It's such a great value for the amount and quality of food you get. The chicken sandwich is huge and juicy. Also can't go wrong with their deep dish pizza. The restaurant itself is spacious, so it never feels too crowded, and there's a separate bar area if you're just stopping in for drinks or happy hour. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, making it a great spot for a casual meal with family or friends.

    Crispy Jalapeno Burger
    Zarifa A.

    My husband and I took our family here to celebrate my dad and father in law for Father's Day and had a great experience! We ordered a large pizza to share among the table alongside ordering individual entrees for everyone. I ordered the crispy jalapeño burger as my entree and while it was good, I wouldn't say that it wow'd me. With that being said, the fries that it came with were exceptional--they were thick and super crispy. The pizza was also super satisfying. If you haven't had a pizza from BJ's before, it is a deep dish so heavier than your standard pizza, but I really enjoyed the breading for it. Service here was great. Our server was super friendly and checked up on us often. The ambiance is sit down casual. There's lots of TV's everywhere which makes it a great place to check out sports games. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would return in the future!

    I came with my husband and my one year-old son to watch a World Cup match and also eat dinner. It was a fun time watching the match and hearing the whole restaurant react. My husband and I decided to try out the steak, the sampler platter, their Fourth of July drink, as well as their Fourth of July cookie thing. As well as a hamburger. I will say my steak was absolutely delicious. I really loved how the chef cooked it. It was so good. Therefore the July drink was also so good and I would definitely wish that would be a regular occurrence. My husband also got there black cherry soda, and it was so good too. It is a really good black cherry soda. The service was really nice. The people working there were really nice and everything. There was a family next to us who wanted to have their family moved to the special area for the restaurant. I guess it was closer to like the bar or something. I honestly have no clue. The server was so nice and was saying they are more than welcome to move over there if they can get a seat because it's first come first serve sadly. The family decided against trying to see if they could snag a seat and instead state where they were, but I found that was really nice that they were able to move if I could find a seat as it was getting cleared out. Like I said this was during a FIFA match. Like I said, the ambulance was really nice just because again I was watching the FIFA game with the rest of the restaurant otherwise it's a nice restaurant. I could care very little about soccer, but this match was a fun one to watch though I think team I was rooting for did not win, which was sad.

    Good food. Got the Avocado Roll and Cobb salad. Both were delicious. There are multiple TV to watch the games. However, there is no sound.

    Went here on a Thursday a couple months ago for late night happy hour and it was pretty busy; they seemed a little understaffed in the beginning, but things eventually died down. Our server Austin noticed my bf's birthday when checking our ids and really took care of us, so we had a great first experience here. Shoutout to him! Overall, the food was kind of mid, but the service was excellent. I'd say 3/5 and 5/5 respectively, so BJ's ultimately gets a 4/5. spinach and artichoke dip // 5/10 // you can definitely taste the artichoke in this one. wasn't the best to us though because we've had better cheesy spinach dips. BJ's brewhouse happy hour margarita // 7/10 // there wasn't that much of an alcohol taste because it seemed pretty watered down, but i can't really complain for a $6 marg. I didn't feel much after drinking but my bf was pretty red after. baby back ribs // 7/10 // we got the thursday special of half a rack of ribs for $20, which comes with your choice of two sides. not the best, not the worst. it was cooked a little dryly but the sauce helped balance that out. caesar salad // 7.75 // the salad was well doused in dressing and the croutons added a nice crunch. it's kind of hard to make salad taste bad if you put enough dressing on it to make it creamy, like that one Julia Child saying: "with enough butter, anything is good." just replace the butter with dressing though lol. side of mashed potatoes // 7/10 // didn't really stand out, but we did finish it. clam chowder // 7.5/10 // pretty decent clam chowder. again, not the best i've had, but it was satisfying enough. i liked it even more when i added a bunch of black pepper to it though; it added a little something-something that i felt was missing. chips and guac/salsa // 7/10 // also wasn't special but was fine. monster pizookie/salted caramel pizookies // 8/10 // i'm pretty sure BJ's created the pizookie, so this is their bread and butter. both pizookies were topped with their vanilla bean ice cream; the cookie is crisp yet moist in the pan, while the ice cream balances out the sweetness. both together created a wonderful contrast of warm and cold. Ultimately, I'd come back and would recommend others to try, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Maybe if I'm really feeling a pizookie. Just a little note: We were a little confused about seating and whatnot because it was loud and hectic (we couldn't really hear the host well); the gist of what we got is there's a raised area with steps that's different from the other area?? And I think she said the raised area was self-seating?? We also had to scrounge for chairs by asking other patrons.

    2026 Mother's Day gift from BJ's
    Kristin S.

    Visited this locations for Mother's Day. Originally it was an 1.5 hour wait, but we found a spot for our 4 person family in the bar area. The table and seating area was clean and comfortable. Our server, Manny, was very kind and attentive. He even went out of his way to ask his boss to comp the pizookie trio for my birthday. In addition, I received a Mother's Day 2026 wine glass from the restaurant. Although the food in the menu has changed a lot since the last time we visited, the service and special treatment made my Mother's Day.

    Is that appetizing?

    I got to this establishment at 412pm. There are available tables but they are not bussed. I stood in front of the table and waited. A server came and said someone will buss the table. It is now 434pm. The bar section has plenty tables that needed bussing. I spoke with another gentleman and he said he has been waiting for over 10mins. Go figure.... Finally at 427PM, a female came and bussed the table. We courtesily waited. The table was not disinfected and junk was still clinging to the table top. I went up to the server area and took it upon myself and got a rag to do it myself. The person that bussed the table ended up being my server. She advised that she was coming back to disinfect the table. I was graciously thankful. It appears the issue is with the management. Why is management allowing this to happen? I saw plenty of non servers hanging around talking to other staff. Basically not doing anything. They could have easily bussed the tables. But my server after 15min bussed my table and took my order. MANAGEMENT you fail in this industry. Our order consisted of a large pizza among other items. The pizza came out drenched in tomato sauce on top. I took a photo to show. I asked why is there tomato sauce on top. The server advised this is the new way along with new dough. She stated it's been like this for 7monrhs. That's odd check my history I ordered a large pizza less than a month ago. It was nothing like this. Expressing my displeasure, the server did not rectify the situation. I took the pizza minus 2 slices home with displeasure. BJ please refund my beer club membership. Your business model is not in line with best practice. I do not want to be a part of a failing customer service establishment

    Happy hour menu  Monday thru Friday 3-7pm Sunday through Thursday 9pm-close  Available in bar area only
    Mari B.

    So so good! The salmon is cooked to perfection & the rice and brocolli are well buttered down and so tender. The ahi poke salad was good too! The service is amazing and he was very generous with us he offered the dessert we wanted actually & recommended certain plates. The ambiance was quiet, all TV's had the World Cup game on & so it was very different. The music was low too.

    Last visit was 02-05-26. Arrived during happy hour and found seating at the bar. The restaurant was packed in the bar area. Took about 5-10 mins before we were acknowledged. One lady walked past us without saying anything. Whatever she was doing seemed to be more important than just a simple greeting. The cocktails were good which were made by another individual working the bar who ended up being our server. The fried calamari was really good. No complaints with the cheeseburger sliders.

    Thursday meal deal and happy hour drinks plus happy hour chips & salsa.
    Bobbie L.

    As an OG BJ's goer (yes, I'm claiming that title ), this review hurts to write because I've genuinely loved this place for years. I've probably come here more times than I can count, almost exclusively for the unlimited Soup & Salad lunch special. Back in the day, it was one of the best lunch deals around. Now it's an all-day Monday through Friday special from the lunch menu, which sounds great in theory... except they've slowly taken away almost everything that made it worth coming for. If you've been going here as long as I have, you'll remember the tomato bisque and the lentil soup. Gone. The Monkey Bread Pizookie? Gone. Most recently, they got rid of the chili, which you could order as your soup, AND they removed the tomato mozzarella salad. That one genuinely hurt. So what's left? Broccoli cheddar, which has never really impressed me. Clam chowder... which I'm always a little skeptical about because I'm not exactly going to BJ's for seafood. And chicken tortilla, which is decent, except it's basically a game of "Will there be chicken today?" Sometimes you get a few chunks. Sometimes it's just broth with hopes and dreams. I honestly don't understand why they'd get rid of tomato bisque. It's one of the most popular soups anywhere. It really feels like BJ's has been cutting corners over the years, and while I could be wrong, that's definitely how it comes across as a longtime customer. Little by little, they keep removing the things that made me keep coming back. At some point, the "deal" stops feeling like a deal. The food quality has also been inconsistent. One visit I ordered a burger medium, and it came out so rare I genuinely had to double-check if we were on the same page. (See the picture.) I've also had multiple visits where the silverware still had dried food stuck to it. That grosses me out every single time. I know restaurant silverware gets reused, obviously, but I'd really prefer not to see evidence of the last person's meal still hanging around. Service has honestly been hit or miss over the years too. I've had multiple disappointing experiences, but I used to overlook them because the lunch special made it worthwhile. The exception? Chris. If you've ever had Chris as your server, you already know. He is hands down one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. My best friend and I both work weekdays, so lunch trips aren't as easy anymore, but whenever we could sit in his section, we knew we were going to have a great experience. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about his tables. He made people want to come back. BJ's isn't a bad restaurant. That's actually what makes this disappointing. This review is coming from someone who genuinely loved eating here for years. I just wish they'd stop taking away the classics that made people fall in love with the place in the first place. Between shrinking menu options, inconsistent food, dirty silverware, and spotty service, it's become harder and harder to justify coming back. I'm not mad... I'm just disappointed. And honestly, that's worse.

    Ask the Community - BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

    Should I get a free pizookie as a takeout, when I redeem my reward coupon?

    If you have a coupon for a free Pizzooki, they should let you take it home. Check the fine print.

    Can we book a reservation for 20 or more people?

    Normally they don't take reservations. However, for such a large party, I'm sure they'll appreciate advance notice. If you call them in advance , they should be able to accommodate a space for your party.

    Are they only doing partial seating indoors? We came today and asked for a table for 4 and it was an hour wait, but there were literally 15 tables open on the floor and 3 other parties waiting ahead of us.

    No longer have any outdoor seating. Maybe they don't have enough staff for all the tables.

    What can you do when your check in information was switched with another party and you only got 24 points while you paid 50?

    Take them the receipt clearly you paid less or did you?

    What time is happy hour?

    M-F 3-7 Th-Sun 10-close

    Do you offer curbside pickup?

    Yes they do ...

    How do we contact Michelle, the business owner?

    You can reach her by calling the restaurant at 562-467-0850 or by email, bjs430@bjsrestaurants.com.

    What time is happy hour?

    Monday through Friday 3-7pm and Sunday through Thursday 10pm - closing but only at the bar

    Do they have vegan options?

    Hello Bailey, We do not have a set Vegan Menu, but a lot of our items can me modified to be vegan.…

Nope, she got up, walked to the bar.... andddddd nothing. No hello, no hi how you guys doing... and her back is turned to us Okkkay, so I throw out a "Hey, how are you?" Nothing. Staring at us... wtfffffff And my husband chimes in with "Are we the first ones of the day?" "No." She says.... ........ ........ ........ ....(gen z staring intensifies) .... ........ So I say, "well I guess I try the blah blah blah" Sorry to interrupt your Tik Tok scrolling lady. Beers were decent . The Hazy IPA was awesome. They had a pizza spot that seems like it opens a little later, like maybe after 5? Place is very close to my house so we may give it another shot and hope for another staff. Don't make me root for AI service lady. A little human interaction is good for all of us.

Somehow word got out that it was our first visit to this Lazy Dog, and one of the line cooks appeared at our table to welcome us. He was very impressive and welcoming; we were a bit taken aback by the proactive hospitality. He said he'd like to welcome us with a complimetary bowl of their Tangy BBQ chips that came with some delicious dipping sauce. We were delighted. And those chips -- OMG, not your typical homemade chip. Next, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which were awesome and delicious. Then the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that comes with greens, carrots, radish, avocado, pickled cucumbers, peanut ponzu vinaigrette and soy dipping sauce on the side . So delicious! The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL! ( No wonder our performance was so wired) The staff was happy to have us linger. We did not feel rushed, and there was no pressue to vacate our table. We salivated over other menu items, and have talked about going back to try a few. We don't need an excuse to drive to Downey but we'll be looking for one! Loved this unexpected experience! Would give more stars for the braintrust behind the customer experience here ;-)
