Good for business meals

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Absolutely awful experience from management. Went with a group of 11 on Monday night and the lights were shut off due to power failure. Rather than console or explain the situation to us, management just forced us to finish our meal and leave. No accommodations, no offers or apologies, just wanted us to finish our food (which we were only halfway through with) and leave. Would never come back to this location again.

Once we got past the massive menu, we were all very happy with our choices. I shared a burger with my father, and they brought it to us already split! That was a nice touch instead of just getting an extra plate and doing it ourselves. My daughter is vegan and they were very accommodating to make the Power Bowl non-diary for her. It was my birthday and my S'mores Pazookie was delicious! Overall, we enjoyed our meals.

Thanks for the fantastic review, Laurie! We're thrilled to hear you had a great birthday celebration with us. It’s awesome that we could accommodate your daughter’s dietary needs and that you enjoyed the S'mores Pizookie. We can't wait to welcome you back for more delicious meals!

While waiting for our table that we could clearly see was ready I approached the two hostesses who standing there cit chatting and ask if we could be seated the wait oh, oh sorry, and got us seated. However, we made a reservation since we had a large party (12), and were told we would be seated outside and assured there would be heaters. Half the fire in the fireplace at the table did not work 🥴. Our waitress was fantastic and should be given kudos.

Mona, thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that your waitress made a great impression! We apologize for the seating delay and the issues with the heaters, and we appreciate your feedback as we strive to improve. Hope to welcome you back soon!

I made a reservation for 7:15pm and didn’t get seated until 7:50pm when we checked in on time. The hostess said they had to seat a couple big parties first which I spoke to them and they were walk-ins without reservation. And with other walk ins the hostess told them it would take 25-35 mins which is exactly how long it took us - what is the point of a reservation then? On a positive note, our server Brian was fabulous.

Steak was a little over cooked and dry but edible. The rest of the meal was good.
