    mouthwatering burger
    Michael Y.

    A last hurrah before I really got to know ye - cheers! What matters most was our experience with the staff there - exceptional and awesome! "I got you!" he said, and no matter what happens to the mall or this restaurant, that will leave a positive lasting impression for the brand and the waiter if we see him elsewhere. We have been here over the decades for the famed, legendary pazookie and ice cream. We were still in high school too! It is famous for all ages. It is good to know they will survive somewhere. The deep dish pizzas were good, the burger was sizable and filling, and the appetizer sampler was super popular! Almost every table had the appetizer sampler. We tried their house-made soda too! Excellent! Ask the waiter about it.

    The food here was rather disappointing, especially for the price. I ordered the cheeseburger, and it came with sad, limp lettuce, flavorless pickles, a rather tough meat patty, and overly greased bun. Even the fries were limp and rather tasteless. Our server was high energy, but everyone seemed rushed and parts of our order were forgotten.

    I don't have a ton of positive things to say about Tanforan these days but the BJ's here remains as solid as ever and a place of nostalgia for me dating back to college. The food is as good as it usually is, probably better than the BJ's local to me on the other side of the bay in Brentwood. I'm also glad that they still have that meal deal that includes the mini Pizookie at the end. As long as BJ's keeps that, they'll continue to consistently have my business. The salad with the mozzarella balls, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic dressing is just delicious. Probably my favorite light salad of all time. The chili is also hearty and solid. I just like it, man. If I wanted to whine about something, customer service can be more attentive. We found ourselves missing utensils or not having enough plates. Not a big deal, just saying. I also found it weird that the wait for a table in an empty restaurant was a half hour and when it was time to be seated, we were taken to a booth that very clearly wouldn't fit all of us. I'm not mad about it but the latter thing is just WEIRD, man. Especially when there are numerous other booths that are bigger and EMPTY. Use your eyes and common sense.

    Came here for dinner and the wait was way too long. The service seems lackluster and not really attentive. The food was average. This was a return visit and I don't plan on coming back sorry. The ambiance is as expected with tvs playing in the background and bar atmosphere.

    As We Are In the Mode For Nachos & Pizza After A Work At SFO On Wednesday June 04,2025. We Decided To Dine At BJ's In Tanforan Mall. As We Ordered Nachos, Thin Crust Pizza And A Pinacollada Drink The Food Was In Good Portions, The Service Of The Staff Was Great And the Ambiance Was Super Nice. Highly Recommended Specially For Families

    Came here for Dinner cause our main purpose was to have dessert, the Spookie Pizookie (Halloween) after our meal. Started off w/apps the Brew house sampler, which was delicious. (FYI, its only available for a limited time, I soo recommend!) It consists of wings (regular or boneless) & choices of Buffalo&BBQ, i chose regular Buffalo. It also includes mozzarella sticks, sliders and chips & dip, i chose spinach artichoke (guac was also a choice). But it was weird cause our apps & my daughters main course, Peanut Soba noodles arrived at the sametime. Unfortunately my order of Spaghetti & meatballs didn't come yet. My daughter didn't want to eat her meal till I received mine but I told her to eat while its still hot. It took almost 30 minutes for my waiter to acknowledge me about my order not being ready yet. Yes, I was upset. I was even more upset when he asked me if I still wanted my order! Bluntly, I said no cancel it! I was not happy with this visit. Yes, the charge of my main course was taken off, dessert was given for compensation. But today's service was not up to Par.

    The waitstaff and dessert are the saving grace in this review. Thank you, Arielle, for being such a great server!!! The food was okay, nothing spectacular. The portions were expected, but didn't feel like they lived up to the price. Three entrees took quite a while to get to us. It was dinner time on a Tuesday. The dessert was delicious. We got the triple chocolate, chocolate brownie, and chocolate chunk pizookies. The bathrooms were less than ideal. Two stalls had no toilet paper and there were a few mysterious stains on the stall walls plus overflowing trash bins.

    Downgraded to two stars from three. I like the people that work here. The issue might be with their computers/management. My order was pasta and pizza family meal $45 and a prime rib dinner $38. Here are my issues today: It took an hour for my order to be ready. Half the food was cold. Caesar salad had no dressing. Prime rib tasted rubbery. No au jus or horseradish were included. Pasta was dry. The food that tasted OK were the clam chowder, mash potatoes and pizookie. The rest is subpar. I'm not driving back to pick up the missing items like last time. Skip this BJ's location and go to the San Mateo one instead. That one is much better.

    After a round of golf, we decided that a pizzokie was in order, so we headed down to Tanforan and went to BJ's for the first time in a long time. We got there around 4pm and it was prime rib night, so I knew I had to give it a try. For like $35 you get a 12oz prime rib, sides, soup, and a pizzokie. Honestly a really good deal for the price. Taste however left a bit to be desired. Started off the meal with their avocado egg rolls. I couldn't tell if it was undercooked but the consistency was mushy and didn't have much flavor. For my soup I got the broccoli cheddar, it while good, it had more of the consistency of queso than soup. For the prime rib, I was decently surprised on how it tasted for the price. The crust was quite tasty, the meat itself a little chewy but still passable. It's not the best prime rib I've ever had but it did what it needed to do. If it had some real horseradish and more salt, it could be better for me. The horseradish had no flavor to it unfortunately. Rice Pilaf and broccoli on the side were solid side choices. For drinks, they had some $6 cocktails on the regular menu so when we tried to order them, we were told they didn't have the ingredients. Ended up just sticking with waters. The pizzokie capped off our meal, we got the cookies and cream one, solid as always, and we finished this up no problem.

    I always enjoy my food. I usually order to go from this location. The staff is always very curtious and friendly. I placed my order about 7:15 pm for a 8pm pick up and I received my order @ 8:13pm. I know they usually are busy and short staffed. My real complaint is the ladies restroom. This restroom is old, broken & dirty.

    Manager walked around to each table but she skipped my table

    I love the food here. Service is not consistent, some day is okay, some day is so bad to the point I don't want to come back Today I came again and noticed the manager would go to each table and ask if everything is okay. She asked every single table but skipped my table

    It's a good place to go have food and drinks and watch the game. Service was good. Food was good. Place was clean. No complaints.

    Yeah... I'll be back, 47 Hills. And next time I'm ordering one of everything…read more.. 47 Hills is a lowkey brewery tucked into a quieter, more industrial part of town. Parking can be a little sparse, but if you're down to walk a block or two, you're set. Service is simple and easy. Walk in, order at the bar, and grab a buzzer that lights up and vibrates when your food's ready. The space itself is very cool. Tons of big TVs playing sports, rows of pinball machines ready to eat your quarters, and a laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out. And the food? It HITS. Huge, juicy wings sauced to absolute perfection. Definitely do half-and-half for max flavor fun. The burger also delivers -- super juicy and made me feel borderline primal while sipping a cold beer. Only hiccup was asking for pepper jack and getting blue cheese instead, but the bar was super apologetic and comped us a free beer for the mix-up. Shoutout to them for that. The beer menu leans lighter, crisper, and a little sweeter, with lots of lagers and ciders. Everything I tried was genuinely tasty. Overall, like I said... I'm absolutely coming back to work my way through the rest of their food and beer lineup.

    Went on a Friday night with 2 girlfriends. Overall, staff was nice just wasn't the best experience…read more Maybe I came on an off day? The venue itself is cool, it 's basically just a warehouse and has a good amount of seating and lots of pinball machines (fun). Not sure if this is normal for them or if their taps were broken but they only had 1 beer and 1 cider available and they were being served out of a red cooler at just above room temperature. 2 of our dishes came out after 10 minutes and after 30+ minutes, I had to ask about our other friend's food that never came out to which they couldn't find the ticket for and ended up refunding. I ordered the burger, which was good. My friend ordered the tacos, which she enjoyed. I also got the churros which none of their menus (online or in person) mentioned were filled - these were not good. Probably wouldn't have gotten them if I knew they were filled. Wasn't a terrible experience but wasn't great either.. my friend hypes this place so I might give it another try but as of that one visit, not impressed.
