BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Irvine, off Jamboree September 24, 2026 - approximately 8:00 PM Really disappointed with our experience at BJ's tonight. We were seated and waited 17 minutes before anyone even came over to greet us, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. We were told there was a shift change and some miscommunication about who was covering our table. I understand things happen, but unfortunately the service never really improved after that. Our server was friendly, but everything was very slow. When our food came, I asked for cheese and pepper and it took over 10 minutes to get it. We were only checked on once during our meal, and after we finished eating, we sat there for another 20 minutes waiting for someone to come by. Eventually, I got up and went to the hostess stand and asked to speak with a manager. Someone went to the back to get them, so I stood there and waited -- and no manager ever came out. That was probably the most frustrating part. I wasn't looking to make a scene or complain just to complain. I actually gave them the opportunity to address the situation while we were still there, and no one did. I rarely leave reviews like this, but the lack of service tonight was unacceptable, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. I'll also be reaching out to BJ's corporate office so they're aware of what happened, and I would appreciate someone from management or corporate contacting me about our experience. read more

Came here for a coworker's goodbye dinner on a Wednesday evening. Plenty of parking, right in the Tustin Marketplace, great location with tons going on in the area. We were a party of 8, and we sat outside right across the street from the Irvine Ranch Historic Park. Nice ambiance! Service was great too! I ordered the Soup And Salad Combo: Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Sourdough Bread Bowl & House Salad. My coworkers got the pizookie trio as pictured. Food was good. This was my first time at a BJ's. It was alright. As expected for a major chain restaurant in terms of food prices for quality/quantity and overall service and ambiance/dining experience. I'd recommend trying one of their locations at least once. read more

We like catching sports during our Sunday lunch outings, and BJ's has big screen TVs. Decided to sit in the bar area where Christopher S provided outstanding service with his friendly attitude and was very attentive! I had a white peach bobo-Rita and a Jeremiah Red for my husband. The wedge salad was fresh and crisp with the right amount of dressing. I also ordered the garlic shrimp w/parmesan toast and loved dipping the bread into the shrimp sauce. My husband enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger as well. There's plenty of parking in the Marketplace. We arrived around 11:30 AM and had no trouble finding a spot. It was much busier by the time we left but still parking available. The food was good but Christopher's exceptional service is a 5 star and what will really bring us back! read more

Ask for the kids starters and they will give them goldfish and fruit. They won't give it to you unless you ask. Check your retail therapy app for discounts like free kids meals and sign up for their rewards program prior to going so you get a free pizookie. They always run good deals here so check the website or app for daily specials ! read more

The food was okay, sliders were too well done. The pizza was tasty and so was the pzookie. The wedge salad was just also okay and the clam chowder was good. The service was great, we sat at the bar area and our server was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance was good, good music and sports playing on TVs read more

Wish I could give half stars because in my mind this establishment is right at 3.5 stars. Ever since Yard House discontinued their late night happy hour special on food, my friends and I have been coming to BJ's. We've come here plenty of times to celebrate birthdays, to satisfy the munchies after our basketball runs, and just to hangout and catch up. What stands out at BJ's is the late night happy hour menu and pizookies. The restaurant is pretty large, but make sure to sit in the bar seating for the happy hour menu. The happy hour menu provides great value and gets the job done. It isn't the best tasting food, but it's pretty good overall. Our favorites are the sliders, mozzarella sticks, and avocado egg rolls. Recently, we had the $20 large signature BJ's Deep Dish Pizza (photo attached). Sad that the Great White got discontinued, but the Chicken Bacon Ranch is solid. Only thing is the pizza is super bready and dense, which makes it very filling. Free birthday pizookies are always a plus, and their limited time specials are nice too. Most recently, the biscoff pizookie was pretty amazing. The downside of BJ's is the service can be super varied. Sometimes our server is attentive, refilling our waters, making sure we get our check, and a lot of times we are completely ignored and waiting long periods of time for requests like extra napkins or ranch and to get the check to close out our night. I do understand that later at night it can be a bit understaffed, but waiting 20-30 minutes to get the check is a long time especially when it's been a long night. I'll definitely be coming back because the value that is provided is pretty amazing and it is the place to hang out with the boys when we can. read more

Came in for a birthday lunch celebration which means we got alcoholic drinks. ORDER The patron margarita. Just do it. Can't go wrong with BJ's staples like the avocado spring rolls and the artichoke dip. The steak salad is also amazing. I would like to also highlight our server, Alex S. He's amazing with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this location. read more

I just had to update my review because we came in today just to try the one day dine in only April Fool's pepperoni pizookie with Mike's hot honey. We sat at the bar and Anthony was our server. He's super friendly and we really enjoyed sitting with him. We enjoyed the $13 pizookie meal deal which is definitely a great deal and we ended our meal with the special pepperoni pizookie for just $4.01. To our surprise, the pepperoni and hot honey actually tasted really good with the chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream. We really enjoyed it and would definitely order it again next year if it's still available! The crazy person who came up with this idea actually created a great flavor combination! read more

This chain has really gone downhill fast huh? Idk if it's just this location but man the service was god awful. It took like 10 or 15 minutes to even be acknowledged at the bar area. Everyone from the staff, servers or bartenders are just not trained on providing service or hospitality. Some are much worst than others but the vibe is bad. It's sad tbh. The food also just doesn't hit the same as before. I've been here twice and it's just always dirty and filthy. They do no put in any effort in keeping it clean or decent. Also, we asked for the check, and it took over 15 minutes to get it. Very disappointed. I can see why it's popular cus it's fairly cheap. It's an established brand and the happy hour is now very good, low prices for drinks and food but yea will not be returning. God bless. read more

We hadn't been to BJ's in a while, and I forgot what a great option it is for larger groups. We celebrated Father's Day a few days after the actual holiday with a party of 8, including 2 kids. It's usually difficult finding restaurants that can comfortably accommodate a larger group while still being kid-friendly, but BJ's made it easy. The atmosphere was perfect for families, and it didn't break the bank despite the size of our party. The dads were very happy with their meals, and of course we all enjoyed the delicious Pizookies! I believe our server was Nick. He mentioned he's been there for over four years, and it definitely showed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, incredibly kind, patient with our large group, and very attentive throughout our visit. We initially had a different server, but after a shift change, Nick took over and made us feel extremely well taken care of. It was busy because the World Cup was on, but having all the games available made the experience even more fun. Overall, it was a great visit, and we plan to come back often. Thanks again! read more

bjs as a whole is very mid. don't come here for anything but the tuesday pizookie and kids meal boneless wings. our server was very kind but the rest of the staff were pretty rude. the s'mores pizookie was pretty good but very very sweet, 6.5/10. the melted marshmallows were super satisfying though. the star of the meal tho is my tried and true kids boneless wings. it's consistent, cheap, fresh, good portion, and tasty. comes with sauce and a soda, 10/10. read more

Pizza at my place! BJ's has the goat pizza deal on Mondays. $20 for a large, love it! I paid extra to put 17 extra toppings on my pizza, nice! Pickup experience was smooth, I was in and out super quick. This place gets pretty busy during lunch so plan accordingly! I love stopping by during football season too, lots of TVs playing sports, lots of cheering fans at the bar! read more

This is probably my favorite chain pizza. I love a totally loaded Chicago-style pizza and the one at BJ's is great. Some pizza, when you get everything on it, ends up soggy. But not at BJ's. I believe they also have a thin crust available, but I've never tried it because I love Chicago-style. They also have a pretty full menu of other food ranging from burgers to salad and pasta. My wife had a wedge salad and clam chowder. They were both ok but not particularly great. Just get the pizza read more

I've been coming here for years, but it's been a while. Their prices seems to have increased. However, ever, they do have a good happy hour. And I wanted to watch the big championship game, so the perfect place to go. I came early to get a seat at the bar so that worked out since it did get crowded. The TVs do seem to be on the older side. At least a big one in the middle of the bar, it was blurry. I thought it was my eyesight at first. The other side TVs do help and are more clear. We got the happy hour special and there's a few decent choices to pick from. It's definitely a smaller list now though of what is offered. But you can still get a personal pizza for seven dollars. Not bad. I was actually able to find a couple of drinks that I liked as well. I'm very picky about my alcohol, and I usually pass. But I enjoyed the Berry cider. Definitely would come back again. I would recommend making reservations, because they do get busy. read more

Food: The best menu item here is the pizookies! My favorite flavors are the classic chocolate chip and strawberry shortcake! If you haven't tried the strawberry shortcake, you need to, as it is topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and their delicious vanilla ice cream. The pizookies are pretty large, and you can easily share one with two to three people! Service: The waiters are kind and professional, and they serve your items pretty quickly, despite the usual high volume. Highly recommend you reserve a table online before coming, especially on Tuesdays with their $5 pizookie deal! Ambiance: BJ's has such a nice atmosphere, with darker lighting and a pub-style ambiance. Also, their playlist is good, with nostalgic songs like "Cool Kids"! Hope you enjoy BJ's, and please try their strawberry shortcake pizookie! read more

BJ's has an awesome rewards program. You get a free full size Pizookie on your birthday, and a free full size Pizookie just for signing up for their free rewards program. Both redeemable at the same time with no purchase necessary! I love when awesome places reward their customers. The food here is fresh, hot, and fast! AND DELICIOUS!!! BJ's remains one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Solid Tuesday dinner, nothing special but good experience. BJ's was surprisingly packed for a weekday afternoon, but the wait was only about 5-10 minutes, so no complaints there. The inside is nice, good lighting, comfortable atmosphere, a lot of TVs! Service was good. Waters were refilled and everything was handled fine, but nothing brag about. Food we ordered : -Broccoli Cheddar Soup Bread Bowl: My wife loved it, never a complaint when it comes to this dish. -Chicken Fettuccine Pasta: Good, but at $27, I expected more. The pasta was heavy and well done, but the chicken was noticeably light compared to what the menu photo suggests. At that price, the portion balance should be better. Overall, it was a perfectly fine dinner. The atmosphere carries the experience more than the food does. I'd give this 3.5 stars if Yelp allowed it, I'd come back for the atmosphere, but I'd probably order something different next time. read more

This BJs is fast. You can get on the wait line by calling in, then you can check in once you're there. We were seated, placed/got our order, and paid the bill in ~20 min. I've only really gotten the pizookie here and it's delicious! Recently we came and got the Dubai chocolate pizookie and it was the perfect amount of sweet imo. The base was a brownie cookie and it has ice cream, chocolate, kataiffi, and pistachio spread on top. I wish they added some chopped pistachios and more of the pistachio cream. But what else would I expect from an American chain? Im just glad they had this on the menu and executed it pretty well! read more

The good: Great selection of beer Huge menu. even a value menu c The most upbeat, convivial restaurant in town Some good food Friendly servers Love the Big Screen Tv's The bad: Super hectic parking lot especially peak times Can have very long wait times If you're a sports fan that loves beer and lively atmosphere, this place is right for you. If you want a quiet, romantic dinner, BJ's is only quiet between the lunch crowd and Happy Hour. My friends and I been a monthly customers here since they opened Yes there have been times when my experiences have been meh, but most of the time, my friends and I have had a great time once we got through the crowded and dark parking lot and hectic check in. It's a family friendly place, and there will be sports teams birthday celebrations, and during Dodger Games, Olympics, Soccer, etc. it can get pretty loud. My favorite items are their beer flights - you can choose your own from a big list. Lots of other alcohol, limited tea and coffee, and a mixed drinks. Food selection is huge, and even vegetarians can find some limited items. There are lots of apps, several chicken, steaks and ribs, though my favorite items are the pizzas and prime rib sandwiches. I often order food I can take home that I don't finish. The prime rib sandwich ($20) comes with fries (though you can upgrade to other sides) au jus, creamy horseradish, and coleslaw. The coleslaw is sometimes room temperature - I wish it was cold. I also enjoy their salads, particularly the Asian Chicken but I was shocked to find out how many calories there are. Salmon ($28) is also a favorite and you can get asparagus instead of broccoli as a side. They have great deals, a southern friend chicken breast with mashed potatoes is a favorite, I think was $13. Some other $13 meals include the individual pizza and salad with a mini pizzookie and ice cream. One of the other pizzookie specials is a burger with fries. Take your time reading the menu if you're not a regular. It's pages and pages long. Sometimes the servers are stretched too thin, and sometimes your wait times can be insane and uncomfortable. Their men's bathroom is always wet on the floor. Also I personally don't like sitting by the rear of the restaurant and patio which is tool cold for me so I always bring a sweatshirt. The tables for two are too crowded if you order a lot of stuff. It is crowded most nights, even Thursdays and Sundays. They must be doing something right with a constant flow of mostly smiling customers. read more

We stopped in to have a drink and a snack. BJ's is huge, and it was still full! The host team was able to get us a table pretty quick. Once we got seated it took a while to put in our order. I think the server was stretched a little thin. The cider I was hoping to get apparently has been out for a while, but it was still on the menu. I tried a backup, and it was alright. I needed something sweet, so I tried the pazookie trio. The salted chocolate chip was my favorite, it went great with the ice cream! Good food, good dessert, good service! read more

We were told 15-20 minutes but it ended only being a 5 minute wait! We had Stephanie as our server and made sure the kids had their sodas refilled. The chicken sandwich came out delayed and the Manager, Jesus/Chewy preemptively came by and said he would comp it and also comped a pizookie. Talk about service and turning a situation around. That was very generous and we did not expect that so this place deserves all the stars for trying to make it right. Also the smores pizookie is sooooo good read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and was met with an unhelpful and rude hostess. She kept claiming that my friends weren't there, and nobody of the names of my friend came, even if they were just a walk in. Turns out, they were there, in the patio. Besides that, the server we had for our table was absolutely amazing! She was super cool, and made the overall vibe super fun. Our table split a few apps and got a few mains. I personally love the avocado egg rolls, and my margarita flight was so cute and tasty! I also loved that they celebrate birthdays with pizookie which was super cute for my friend! Some other things I'd recommend ordering if you're splitting with a group are their nachos! read more

We had BJ's lunch catering today. There were two different kinds of salad, lasagna, tortellini, beef meatballs, and eggplant spaghetti, and a whole lot of garlic toast. Lasagna was good but not cheesy enough to be lasagna. Only one layer of cheese on the top, the center layers were made of some kind of cream, I think. One nice thing is, it has plenty of ground beef in between the layers, which was nice. Most places would just do it with very little meat in the center. Both, the tortellini and beef meatballs were decent. The eggplant spaghetti was very good. I'm trying to watch my carbs intake so did not eat any garlic bread. I had some of the salad with the black olives with balsamic and that was good. Our staff appeared to like everything there because most of everything was gone after lunch when I went in the kitchen later. ;) read more

We were really excited to come in for Pizookie Night at BJ's, but unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by the service we received from our server, Alex. From the beginning, he came across as uninterested and seemed to have an attitude while taking our orders. We felt like we were more of an inconvenience than guests. Throughout our time there, he rarely checked on our table, and after our orders were taken. We ended up relying on other staff members for assistance because he was largely absent. That said, I do want to recognize the rest of the team. The employees who greeted and seated us were welcoming and friendly, and the staff who helped us when we couldn't find our server were kind and accommodating. Their professionalism helped make the experience a little better. The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the Pizookies. They arrived warm, fresh, and just as delicious as always. It's the main reason we still left with something positive to say. read more

I stopped in with some friends on Saturday night for some late night snacks and drinks. It was busy, but we scored a nice booth in the bar area for our party of 4. The pizza was delicious per usual. The wings were good, but the mozzarella sticks were not cooked properly. They were cold. I wouldn't order those again. My wine was good. One of my friends got a cocktail served in a little bath tub and she enjoyed it. Basically, this is BJs, so you kind of already know what to expect. read more

Came in near closing with a big group and Amber was super nice and even set up a bigger table for us! The food was also great!

We arrived on a Saturday evening at 11:07pm but we only wanted dessert. As we entered, there was a hostess and a host who already off the bat made us feel uncomfortable. As soon as they saw us enter, though she greeted us, they both started laughing at what seemed like an inside joke about us but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They sat us in a super tight booth for the five of us. Again, it was an hour to closing so we were grateful to be seated anywhere. However, the seats were dirty. As I scooted into the booth, my hands landed on sticky substances. The host saw and heard me looking for the napkin to wipe it off and he just stood there waiting for us to be seated. He didn't offer any help or any extra napkins. The waitress we got was actually wonderful. She was the only good part of our evening. Super kind and friendly! We ordered the large pazookie for the five of us to share. Our order didn't come until 11:45pm. The entire tray was rock hard! These cookies were so crunchy and hard to remove from the tray. Pazookies are supposed to be soft and warm. It was far from it. Kind of disappointed from our experience here. But Im giving 2 stars for our waitress! read more
