    all meat personal pizza - happy hour
    Cynthia W.

    Came here for happy hour a couple of weeks ago. The bartender was super friendly and constantly checked in on us. Margaritas were great. We also got some wings and a personal pizza. I loved the all meat personal pizza. Loved all the toppings! Good deal on happy hour!!

    Personal deep dish with BJ's classic toppings

    We're finally done with our SF assignment, and I'm so glad to be outta there, with all that traffic and crowds and high prices. Back in the East Bay now and it time to get some lunch. BJ's Brewhouse still has the $13 Pizookie specials. I've had these before at other locations and really thought they were a great deal and very tasty! This location is right off Contra Costa Blvd. in the Sun Valley Mall. Just turn in and park in front. It's so nice to have a big parking lot compared to that disaster in SF! We get seated and drink orders taken. I got the $13 Pizookie special with the Classic topping personal deep dish pizza. You have a bunch of other choices, even a burger, but I think the deep dish is the best deal, cause it comes with a salad as well. All of the Pizookie specials come with a mini Pizookie dessert of different flavors. That mini size is plenty of dessert, yep it's super sweet if you're one of those people that needs to watch their sugar intake. Three outta the four on my crew get the deep dish pizza option. It was a little while for them to come out. We got the salads first and I gotta say the side salads are decent sized here for sure. The pizzas seem small in diameter, but they're real thick and not just all thick with bread but all the toppings! We all finished with that Pizookie dessert and I had the strawberry and cream version, I was actually pretty damn tasty. I'd come back to BJ's of any location as long as they keep this Pizookie deal going!

    I had low expectations walking in as I saw two of the staff sitting on a bench at the front door smoking vapes. A complete turn off and such a sanitary situation. They walked in with us, looking back as I mentioned the fact they shouldn't be smoking at the door. Aaron was our server. He was very attentive and friendly. Took our order and it was accurate. The food was good and fresh. Pizza was cheesy and crust was buttery. Pepperoni galore. Salad was delicious and full flavor. The pizookie- triple chocolate chunk- so good. Overall, a good experience. We will be back

    Salted Caramel Pizookie
    Alan D.

    Always wanted to try out their $13 pizzokie meal deal, so I finally had time to give it a shot. I ordered via online, so it would be a lot easier for me to pick it up once I arrive at the Mall. Smash Burger: It was a pretty decent burger for the price. There were two patties smashed together, along with the normal fixings of cheese, produce and pickles. It was not too greasy nor too oily. The sauce was not overwhelming either, so the bun was able to keep its form. The fries were a bit of a letdown. It was crispy but I fed the amount I got was a lot less than what I would get if I dined in. Salted Caramel Pizzokie: I chose this as my little dessert. Everything comes separate, so you can assemble it at home. It was a lot of ice cream for the little cookie, but it was absolutely delicious. Definitely taste the salt and the caramel counter balances it for the sweetness. The chips were also a good texture. Overall, I can see myself ordering here again, especially for the pizzokie deal.

    Overall pleasant experience during a short visit solely for a dessert and a to-go food. BJ's restaurant and brewhouse is located at SunValley Shopping Center, just outside by the parking lot and no need to go inside the mall itself. This place reminds me of Applebees or Outback steakhouse and similar places vibe. The front person is somehow not attentive, no greetings nor us asked why we are there, we had to ask him and say for two to be assisted and seated. I finally had the opportunity to taste the mouth watering pizookie, we had the salted caramel pizookie and chocolate chunk pizookie, and delectable chicken parmigiana dinner. The server Jade is amazing and helped us all throughout the short visit. Out food arrived in a timely manner, a little bit wait is expected as it is a Sunday I assume. They have a bar, also have an outdoor seating. Overall it's a good experience and would like to come back and try the weekday deals.

    $11 lunch special.

    When my friend and I decided to meet at BJ Brewhouse, we forgot it was a holiday. Much busier than usual during the noon hour. Apparently at least one server had not shown up and that added to the delay in being seated. We ended up in the bar area by the window. Our server was extra busy and it was hard to flag her down as we were quite a distance from her work station. Our food was fine. My friend enjoyed her clam chowder in a bread bowl. The top of the bowl had been sliced into a small piece and toasted. I had a bite and it was delicious. My friend also ordered hot tea. No choice on tea was offered and she ended up with two bags of chamomile. That selection was fine with her but quite odd that a black tea was not offered. I had the vegetarian BJ Brewhouse Bowl. (Also available with chicken, shrimp, or salmon.) Love the combination and quite filling. One of the more economical lunches (aside from the lunch specials.) Overall BJ's has a good menu. Something for almost every taste. Pazookies are not my favorite so it would be nice to have another dessert option other than a scoop of ice cream. BJ Brewhouse is looking a bit "tired" ... which can be said of all of Sunvalley. But it still is a decent option when in the area. I'll be back ... despite my three star rating. Food is four stars, but atmosphere and service lower.

    Smash Burger with fries.
    Patrick L.

    Came to BJ's twice and each time the service exceeded expectations. The staff here are friendly, attentive, and quick. BJ is also kid/family friendly. The food, in particular the smash burger is surprisingly good. I always just thought BJ was known for its pizza and pazooki, but the burger is nothing to sneeze at. It's very flavorful, well proportioned, and hits just right. The fries are also crispy on the outside and moist on the inside - very addictive. Will definitely come back and recommend for a family outing.

    Every time I want them to redeem themselves, they fail on some level. Bro the kitchen so lazy they can't even cut the dam chicken and gave it to me whole!what am I?a dam caveman!should I eat this sht with hands too?

    Spicy Asian Glaze and Honey Hot BBQ

    The wings are really big and can get you full quick af! The drinks are really good and I recommend the Spicy Margarita. Parking was kind of hard but glad we found a spot because Julie M. was a really great server out of all the different servers I've had here. Vibes were on point tonight.

    Text 1: I ordered online from BJs on their website. They deliver with doordash. This is the text with the driver.

    Horrible experience! I almost never leave Yelp reviews, but this delivery experience was bad enough that I had to. I ordered through BJ's website. BJ's uses DoorDash for delivery, which is fine in theory, but the restaurant completely mishandled the order. My order was marked ready for pickup, but the driver texted me saying he had already been waiting about 20 minutes and the staff still had not given him the food. He said he had asked multiple times. I called BJ's myself. The first call got me nowhere. On the second call, I was transferred to whoever handles delivery orders and then sat there for around 10 minutes listening to hold music, with the music stopping and store noise coming through, then the music starting again, over and over, before anyone finally picked up. The driver told me he could hear the restaurant phone ringing while staff were busy chatting and not answering it. When someone finally answered and eventually checked, I was told my order had gotten mixed up with someone else's and they needed to remake it. I confirmed the order details with them and told them the driver had already been waiting a very long time. They said it would take another 20 minutes and that they would speak to the driver. I informed the driver. Later, I got a call back saying the food was ready, but now the driver was gone and not responding. He wasn't responding to my texts either. I told them several times that this was not something I should have to fix. I ordered on BJ's website. Their delivery arrangement with DoorDash is their responsibility, not mine. I asked to speak to the manager. The manager then gave me a different explanation and said my order instructions had confused them, which directly contradicted what I had been told earlier. At that point, I did not care which version was true. The issue was that their staff had already wasted the driver's time, wasted my time, and handled the whole situation badly from start to finish. In total, I spent close to an hour dealing with this. The worst part was not even the food. It was the terrible communication, the lack of accountability, and the feeling that they were trying to shift blame instead of simply owning the mistake and fixing it properly. Appalling customer service, lack of accountability, and poor treatment of a delivery driver! I understand the driver stopped responding after waiting that long. The root cause here was BJ's staff and how poorly this situation was handled from start to finish.
