Came by with the hubby for a late night bite. I've been wanting to try their NEW pizza that I've been seeing on their commercials recently. When we arrived, we were greeted & sat right away. It's been about 4 yrs since we've visited a BJ's. I must've forgotten how great they are.... They have a nice extensive menu. What we ordered: * Garlic Shrimp w/ Parmesan Toast Appetizer * Tavern-Cut BJ's Brewhouse Classic Pizza Everything was absolutely amazing. So full of flavor. I'm a big pizza fan..... Their pizza was great. BUT the garlic shrimp appetizer had all of my taste buds. DELICIOUS!! Our waiter Michael was exceptional. Friendly and supper attentive. We even took the time after our dinner to tell the manager what a great job he did. Great vibes all around. We can't wait to visit BJ's again.... So many different options. read more

Came to BJ's solely for dessert and their Pizookies. Which are baked cookies with ice cream on top and different toppings depending on what style Pizookie you are ordering. I have had different style Pizookies and all of them have been delicious! Very rich in flavor! Having the scoop of ice cream on top help level out the sweetness of the cookies. I think they even offer a Pizookie Trio for those who enjoy variety like myself. Customer service was good but, again we only ordered dessert! Apparently there is a technique to eating a Pizookie...once it arrives you spread the ice cream completely over the entire cookie so every bite you have a bit of cookie and a bit of ice cream in every bite. read more

This has become our monthly girls happy hour meetup spot. It has one of the longest happy hours (4pm-7pm M- F). The happy drink prices are so reasonable with a great selection of food choices. BJ's also offers a daily $13.99 meal deal separate from the happy hour menu with lots of good options and dessert too. We sat on the patio as the bar area gets really busy. The patio is shaded for the warm east county sunny afternoons. read more

I visited BJ's recently for dinner with a few friends on a Tuesday evening. It was extraordinarily busy that day, as it happened to be during the time of Mexico's World Cup game. The wait alone took about 40 minutes. We were eventually seated at the end of the restaurant, which I actually preferred, as it was a bit quieter and secluded. I ordered the chipotle salmon, and it arrived without too much delay. It was a bit salty for my liking; I recommend ordering the sauce on the side, if that's possible. But for the most part, my dish was okay. My friend's beer was rather flat, though, so that was disappointing. Since it was Tuesday, we also got some pizookies to share! We tried the Chocolate Chunk pizookie and the seasonal S'mores pizookie. The former is a classic for a reason and everything you expect of a cookie. The latter was a surprising crowd favorite, and the marshmallow added a fun texture. Both flavors, however, were very sweet, especially after being decked with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was a bit of a hassle to pay the bill, as they tried to use this QR code system that was not working with any of our phones. We had to recruit the help of our server, who ended up just ringing it up herself anyway. I've been to many different BJ's, so my review is also a comparison of my experience at this location against others. read more

Ahoy, fellow travelers! Captain 619 here, recounting my first visit to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse on the occasion of Mother's Day. We sailed in with high hopes, eager to celebrate, and were fortunate to secure a table without delay. Yet, the winds of fortune shifted as we awaited our feast, for it took just over an hour for our meals to arrive--a long wait for such a cherished day. When the platters finally graced our table, I found myself hoping for a culinary adventure, but what I discovered was merely okay. The mashed potatoes tasted like the average fare one might find on a weary ship at sea, lacking the flair I yearned for. The Wagyu burger, a treasure I anticipated, turned out to be disappointingly lackluster, failing to deliver the bold flavors that dance upon the tongue. My wife, too, faced a misfortune when her chicken sandwich arrived made incorrectly, a twist of fate that added to our growing discontent. And alas, my water cup bore the marks of neglect, with food residue swirling within and clinging to the sides--an oversight that rubbed me the wrong way, I must confess. To add to my woes, a horrible stomach ache set in after our voyage, leaving me pondering whether it was the water or something else that led to this tempestuous trouble. Yet, in this storm of disappointment, the captain of the establishment, the manager, displayed true grace. With a kind heart, they reduced the cost of our meal by 25%, a gesture that spoke volumes, and offered us a complimentary dessert--a sweet act of class that brightened our spirits. Though the experience left much to be desired in terms of food quality, the management's efforts to smooth the waters were commendable. Here's to hoping that on our next voyage, the winds will blow favorably, and we shall find the culinary treasures we seek! Fair winds and good feasts to all! Captain 619 read more

Their $13 weekday meal deal is amazing! I love that you get a full meal plus a mini pizooki! The biggest downside at this BJ's is that they take a really long time to get the food out and at least my server for this particular day was not really attentive. My water was empty but he did not come back to refill it once. I asked for a lid for my sauce but he never brought it so I had to ask someone else to bring it for me. read more

Due to the busyness at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in La Mesa, I want to make an effort, and a choice not to complain about the experience, atmosphere, handcrafted sodas, friendly service, or the popular triple pizookie desserts. All went well, while at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Last but not least, I would recommend to first time customers that they order their drinks, appetizers, and entrees all at the same time. Thank you for reading this Yelp review...Enjoy. read more

We stopped by after a game of pickle ball on a Friday evening and it was very busy but we made our way to the bar area and sat outside their bar area patio.

My Mom and I wanted to have lunch today so we decided on BJ's in La Mesa, California. WeI ordered the chicken club sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich itself was good; however, I forgot to ask for the bread not to be buttered, and it ended up quite soggy from too much butter. The sweet potato fries had good flavor, but they were also on the soggy side, so I wasn't able to finish them. My mom ordered the herb-crusted Parmesan chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus, along with a side salad. She really enjoyed her meal, though the portion was very generous and more than she could finish. She decided to order dessert, which I wasn't planning on having, but I helped with a few bites and then stopped to stay on track with my nutrition plan. Overall, we received great service and had a pleasant experience. While the food wasn't perfect, the service made it an enjoyable visit. read more

I'm a fan of BJ's. Tasty craft beers on tap and decent snacks from the kitchen. Spacious dining area and a covered patio that can accommodate large groups.

I'm not a negative review kinda person, but wow. We checked in at 7:06. We sat down and waited until almost 735 to get any service.. The waiter came and took our order. At 7:47 we still didn't have any drinks. The first one came out at 7:48 and mine finally showed up at 7:54. Our salads showed up at 7:46. Yes, I was so mad. I took exact note of the times I even took pictures. I am so mad I haven't even had my meal yet. The salad was good tho, so hence the 2 stars. I try to be understanding because it's busy but the fact that it took almost an hour to get our fu***** drinks is insane. That's just bad service . Wish I could recommend this place, but I can't unless you're sitting at the bar. read more

This is that restaurant that is a go-to when you really don't know where to go and just want a good dessert. Food is decent. Not great not bad, there have been inconsistencies in taste but we really just come for the pizookies. I know I spelled that wrong. Depending on the day and how busy it is will really affect the quality of customer service. If going for dessert, get a couple and share amongst friends. This place has worked out for a few girls day, and will remain in rotation in the future . read more

Why are your servers making unnecessary comments about patrons with tattoos? I came here to have lunch with my daughter and some weirdo server made it a point to tell me that my hand tattoo wasn't going to last? Didn't say hi.. didn't say anything other "oh that tattoo must be new." When I said it wasn't he said "well it won't last, let's see in a year" Tf? My daughter and i were so bewildered that we didn't bother ordering and just got up and left. I've never in my life had someone try to make conversation in such a crappy way. Just because your hand tattoo looks like crap doesn't mean you need to make comments about others WHO ARE LITERALLY COMING TO PURCHASE FOOD FROM YOU. What the literal heck?!

We were delightfully surprised. The rare time all 3 of us were happy with our meals! We came on a busy Saturday thinking they had happy hour everyday but that wasn't the case. No problem. Mom had chili with a wedged salad. The chili wasn't too hot - she easily devoured it and her wedge salad. I mean I don't think you could lick the dishes cleaner. Knowing dad doesn't eat a ton these days he ordered the kids chicken tenders and even had a tender to take home. Happy camper. As for me I had eyes on anything ahi but the shrimp with garlic bread screamed. To top it off we had a puzooki trio, 3 mini derp cookies with ice cream. Yummmm! Despite the transition of servers with no notice and not much attention (ie drink refills) we had a good experience. We all left full and happy. read more

Bjs in person is pretty okay I feel as if these resteraunts are a hit or miss . My advice is NEVER get any pizookie to go because they give absolutely no effort at all. I had gotten one last time and it looked terrible but I thought maybe it was just a bad batch so I got one more but lo and behold it was the same quality . It tasted bad and somehow was stale even though it was same day? read more

Basing this off the service, we went today and had Joel V. Outside. I got the burger deal for Wednesdays. He was so attentive and above and beyond.

I'm so disappointed, I used to love BJs, one of my favorite pizzas. I ordered a personal to go and it was literally wet. The crust was so soggy I could ring oil out of it. Also, the bottom was hollow because over half of the bottom had either stuck to the pan or been ripped out due to being WET. I was immediately icked out. Also it was like gettting only 2/3 of the pizza because so much was ripped off the bottom. Gross and actually upsetting considering it used to be good. read more

I guess I have done reviews all over southern California and even into Arizona; because I love the quality beers, the service and the food. I really enjoy the Happy Hour specials but also enjoy their specials like the $13 Strawberry Fields salad with a pazookie to boot. Today I was on my way home from a business trip so I stopped by and had a beer and my fav Happy Hour dish, the Chicken Pot Stickers. As a beer club member, I love that I can have one beer and its 20 oz instead of the normal 16 oz pour. Today I had my favorite beer the Nutty Brunette. Place is always well designed and I noticed that this bar has the taps on the bar still. Many of my local places have removed them from the front and just have them in the back. I like the look of them up front. There always seems to be a friendly crowd at BJ's and the bar tenders tend to be great at most locations I have been to. read more

Very disappointing experience. We had a reservation for 8:15 p.m. for a party of eight and were excited to celebrate together. Unfortunately, the evening turned into nothing but waiting. They were already out of the seasonal drink we wanted, which was disappointing from the start. We ordered six Pizookies for the table, and by 10:00 p.m.--an hour and a half later--they still had not arrived. We ended up leaving without ever receiving them. During that time, our group spent over $53 on sodas and a single appetizer while we sat waiting. What made it even more frustrating was watching tables that were seated well after us receive their food and desserts before we did. There was little communication about the delay, and no sense of urgency to make things right. I understand restaurants get busy, but waiting over 90 minutes for six desserts is simply unacceptable, especially when other guests who arrived later were being served first. It was honestly sad because our group was looking forward to spending time together, and instead we spent most of the evening waiting. I hope management takes a serious look at what happened because no reservation should end with guests leaving without the desserts they ordered after such a long wait. read more

I've been to this location a few times and Kirk the parking and that wait time is never too bad. Staff is friendly but each time the food is just mediocre. Not sure why I still come here-maybe the huge menu. The pizookie always hits tho. Recently came on Mother's Day and got the prime rib special for $35. Came with a Cesar salad which was great. The prime rib itself was alright. I mean it was actually a big piece so I suppose worth the price but the flavor was not that and then even cutting it was rough! I got it medium and it just could not cut. It was such a struggle. My sides were asparagus which were also ok and rice pilaf which I didn't not like at all. Very firm and lacking flavor. I didn't try my mans dish except the spaghetti and it tasted fine. Last visit I got a side of mashed potato's which tasted like it came from a box, same with this rice actually. Not sure I want to be back to this location. I know the mission/fashion valley area one is good. Just always busier. read more

I ordered a pizookie last night of 8/21 it was severely burnt resulting in a call back to the restaurant asking for a possibly refund and the individual I spoke to on the phone stated I would have a manger call me back in a few minutes due to them handling another issue in the restaurant which I understand fully, waited for the call later in the night which it never came as well as feels like we were blown off completely. I get it Restaurants are a busy environment but how did the people cooking think it was okay to send that out? How did it get past the expo? And lastly the takeout cashier? It's not like it was slightly burnt or barely noticeable no this was rock hard couldn't even bite into it. read more

Very disappointing service at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. At my birthday. The girl serving our table had a very bad attitude and did not seem interested in helping us at all. She was rude, inattentive, and made the whole experience uncomfortable. We had to wait a long time for basic things, and when we asked for help, it felt like we were bothering her. Good service is important when going out to eat, and unfortunately this visit did not meet that expectation.

The service here is getting bad. Hard to find a server. Employees pass the buck onto someone else instead of helping. Multiple tables dirty and need to be cleaned.

Lunch was interesting, fries came out cold and tasted like they were old or leftover and we came in 20 minutes after opening. Yet, again wait staff were disappointing, drinks served with little ice (had to ask for more) and they were replaced with fresh glasses but, they were returned with straws but came back out without them and yet again had fallen off.to flag down waiter. We are used to pretty good (hot) food and hit or miss staff but, that seems to have slipped up some. It has turned into a "flip a coin" restaurant, I hope you have a better visit than we did. read more
