best food I have had in a while very good experience and food. also dessert was very good tasting

Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, so we decided to celebrate at BJ's. With no prior reservation, we arrived at 8 p.m. as a party of 8. The in-laws were in attendance. The wait was reasonable given our party size, and believe it or not, there were quite a few people dining. I wish they had a separate area for larger parties that didn't involve seating us in the middle of the walkway, but what other choice did they have? Our waiter started off strong. He greeted us, gathered our drink and appetizer orders right away. We were saddened to hear they discontinued their root beer wings (a family favorite), so we opted for their peppered BBQ wings as well as the lemon pepper wings. Both were bone-in. Although they weren't as good as the root beer wings, we all agreed the peppered BBQ wings were the better of the chosen appetizers. I ordered my usual jambalaya ( it's a safe choice) along with a side of the honey sriracha Brussels sprouts. My F-I-L ordered the pork chop with mash and asparagus. My S.O. ordered prime rib (medium-rare) mash and asparagus as well. Of course, there were others at the table, but those are the three entrees I'm going to focus on. The food arrived before our table was cleared. The table was never cleared until the end. A pet peeve that will ruin a pleasurable dining experience is being rushed to order, entrees arriving without the appetizer plates being cleared, and being thirsty without water or the waiter in sight. We were victims of all three. As you can imagine, we are already a large party, so space as well as movement were limited when placing the food on the table and indulging. The jambalaya is my safe choice for a reason. Despite how bland I found it to be, it was still edible. The honey sriracha sprouts were a great mix of sweet and spicy with a little crunch to it. It was my favorite part of my meal. The pork chop looked amazing and was well plated and sized nicely, my F-I-L did however complain that it was also bland, we joked that the asparagus were so thin we called them shoelace asparagus, too emaciated to enjoy. As for the prime rib, it was prepared medium rare as requested and devoured though again it was found to be rather bland in flavor. As we went around the table eating our meals, my daughter's baked potato received the highest rating of an 8.4/10. The Pork chop was rated a 7/10, the Prime Rib was an 8/10 and my jambalaya was a solid 7/10. The waiter refilled water for two out of the 8 of us without having to be asked immediately after the food was delivered, in spite of the other cups being visibly half empty. We waited quite a bit for the waiter to return to offer to go containers and take our dessert orders, at this time our table still hadn't been cleared. At this point we have appetizer plates, dinner plates, to-go containers all on the table as the dessert arrived. It wasn't until the birthday pizookie was placed on the table, that the table was cleaned. Around this time we also noted that the door directly adjacent to the table was being opened and closed often resulting in an uncomfortably cold breeze disrupting our enjoyment. With a table full of all the things, and a breeze that gave winter and food that didn't quite meet our standard, we were ready to leave and so we did. The food and service quality has left much to be desired so it will likely be a while before we visit again. read more

Honestly just give it up. Waited 20 mins to be seated even though it was mostly empty. After we were eventually sat the drinks took almost 20 mins to come out. Apparently they were slammed at the bar. Had a big rush and no glasses all poor excuses. Again. It was dead. Then the mains came out before the appetizers. So cancelled them. The food was mediocre. Service lacking. Manager unapologetic. Seems like this is EVERY bjs. Just give up. read more

While I was waiting on an appointment I went into the BJ' s brew house at the Sun Valley Mall To get lunch Semi-big mistake Got a seat immediately BUT It took the ONLY waitress 15 minutes to notice me It's not entirely her fault in that she was the only service person on duty BUT She walked by me at least 6 times and didn't notice me for some reason I had to go back to the hostess stand to get someone's attention Only one person working? That's simply bad management I had to wave the menu in the air to get water Great food Once I got it Solution? Either stop being so cheap with your labor costs Or Retrain your staff ( yes, I worked in restaurants for over 20 years and know bad management when I see it ) read more

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!! read more

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! read more

It had been a couple of years since my last visit, and back then the food was pretty mid. My boyfriend wanted to try their new pizza, so we decided to go on a Friday night. The wait was about 30 minutes, which wasn't too bad. Our server, Kliwin, was great! Even though it was busy, he handled all his tables well and was super friendly the entire time. The food this time around was actually pretty good--no complaints. And of course, we couldn't leave without ordering a pizookie, which hit like always. read more

We love good food and especially great service! Chris W. was not only knowledgeable, and efficient, but he was incredibly personal . We will come again and ask for Chris to be our server! Thanks Chris! Arline and Ron C. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place sucks....it's Sunday noon and we have to wait, no one is in here, empty table all around. Host says to sit at a table wait will be 10-15 minutes, but open seating at bar??? Empty tables all around, oh I guess the wait I because they have no servers??? 15 mins pass...we get called to seat, wait another 15 mins before anyone/server come to ask about drinks.....who manages this place??? Did they ever go to "restaurant and hospitality" training? Oh...and I assume a big tip is expected???? Still waiting on food read more

We stopped by to dine in at about 2:30 pm. The restaurant wasn't busy, and multiple employees, including three at the mobile order counter and a few waitresses, made eye contact with us. Still, no one greeted us or acknowledged that we were waiting. Because of that lack of basic customer service, we decided to leave and spend our money somewhere that values its guests. read more

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. read more

We decided to try BJ's again and found it packed with the over geriatric crowd which should have warned us the food would be geriatric tasting too and the service slow. It was exactly that. Tried it anyway and found it to be less than good. our server was busy but managed to get us food fast. The staff were slammed and not friendly. They looked miserable working there which says a lot about the restaurant Management. This place has become a similar to Dennys old vibe and patronage. For me it's a No. read more

I had a great experience at Bjs restaurant. My servers name was Justina, she was kind and told me all about beer club. I love beer, she told me about the BJs Tatonka stout, right up my alley! It was exactly the beer I was looking for. My server gave great recommendations on the menu and I ordered everything she recommended like the wings, and mozzarella sticks. The ribeye, with onions and mushrooms, side of loaded baked potato , and a wedge salad. Would definitely come back and ask to be served by Justina, her service was perfection! read more

Incompetent front of house staff. Was told it was going to be a 30-40 minute wait which was no problem, we put our name down to be on the list. Go back after 40 minutes and the host seemed to be clueless. They were seating people that had just put their name down and walked in after 10 minutes when we had been waiting an hour at this point. We ended up leaving, food there is not worth that long of a wait. Will not be back to this location unless some major changes are made. read more

Everything pictured turned out to be approximately ~ $115. The deep dish nachos and brewhouse samplers were enough for 5 people! We finished the sampler pretty quickly but took time on the nachos. Everything was very tasty. (Definitely recommend the spinach & artichoke dip) The Tito's strawberry lemonade had a kick but not as much as I was expecting luckily. The Long Island had a bit more. As far as the pizookies, classic but still really delicious! Sweet tooth satisfied. The spooky pizookie just tasted like vanilla but colored orange for the theme. We waited about 35 minutes on a Saturday night but killed time in Round 1. A good option for a sampler outting. read more

I definitely love the Pizcookies! My favorite dessert here! I love some other dishes but I mainly love their desserts.

Christmas Eve , dinner was alittle longer then expected, not a big deal the issue is when I asked for gravy for mash potatoes they didn't have. So asked for melted butter. She brought regular butter , asked once again to melted melted butter. They brought a teaspoon of melted butter. At the end of the meal they brought the check and waitress says sorry I short you a penny. And I said did you round it up. And she laughed and just said sorry. But this is the issue.if you don't have the change then you shouldn't just assume that people don't mind and the fact she laughed when I said something. Means she didn't care. Which is the point of this review. The way the restaurants train the staff to not show me common courtesy when it comes to the change read more

Pretty poor service. A few weeks ago, we called to place and order and were left on hold for many minutes - hung up and ate elsewhere. This weekend, we placed an order over the phone and came in. I saw one couple waiting for a while, no one greeted them, they ended up leaving after not getting a table. Our food was made incorrectly so they had to remake it. The spinach artichoke dip tasted pretty good but the chips were all burnt so it affected the taste. I'm sorry to say but we won't be coming back. $17 for artichoke dip that was not full and chips that weren't great was not worth it. read more

Shoutout to Martha! Absolutely fantastic service during lunch yesterday. She was very helpful in explaining the $13 specials and was enthusiastic when serving my family. She was also seamlessly serving like three other tables aside from ours and did a fantastic job of it. The food was also good. I went with the unlimited soup and salad combo because I wasn't sure I'd get full from the other discounted specials. Turns out those were still pretty decently sized and they all came with pizookies. The clam chowder was okay but the chili was my favorite. The house salad was also quite good. I got the strawberry shortcake pizookie and I was very happy with it. Not too sweet (which is like the ultimate dessert compliment) and a pretty decent size for an individual. Overall, I was happy with my experience here and would absolutely come back. But I also came during like almost 2pm on a Friday. It was quiet and absolutely nowhere near full (which was good). I don't know how long I would've waited to eat during dinner time or the weekend. read more

My friend and I were craving pizookies, so we headed to BJ's. We couldn't decide on just one flavor, so we went with the trio for $13, which lets you pick three mini pizookies. We chose Cookies n Cream, Chocolate Chunk, and Strawberry Shortcake--all of them were absolutely delicious, but definitely on the super sweet side (we were sipping water after every bite). Our server was really kind and attentive. I don't remember her name, but she was an older white woman with glasses and made sure we had everything we needed. read more
