What a joke ! Who is running this place? After they screwed my delivery order up, which I ordered through their website. Supposedly my order was cancelled 45 min after I ordered it due to there being no more tritip! I called and spoke with a manager. I told him, you already charged my credit card and charged me for delivery , but I was hungry so I said I'd come pick the order up. Now they have tri tip available again an hour later. That's funny! He told me my order got cancelled because there was no tri tip. Anyhow, I drive down there to get my order, the guy in front seemed brain dead . I told him my name and I was picking up a takeout order. I sat there waiting 15 min and he says , duhhh what's the name for the order again? I give him my name again and he grabs the bag that was sitting there the whole time I'd been waiting. I get home and look in the bag and there is no salad , the baked potato has nothing on it , not how I ordered it and the tri tip was like chewing on a piece of leather. Top it all off and my pazooli cookie is missing the ice cream. Do these people even care to try and get someone's order right? I work hard for my money and to have it wasted on an order that was all wrong and thrown together half ass really pisses me off. So after reading the reply from the business owner below , to contact them at their email which I did , and never heard back from them. I didn't think I would !

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.

Personal deep dish with BJ's classic toppings

Robbie R.

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!

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

Patrick L.

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.

Went for our 27th anniversary, and the experience was amazing. I ordered a somewhat-complicated manhattan that wasn't on the menu and our server Justina made it happen! She was super accommodating with my wife's tree nut allergy as well which was so refreshing, since not a lot of restaurants nowadays look out for the little guy. We ordered the Mac&cheese balls for starters, and my prime rib was cooked great as well, compliments to the kitchen! The music was a bit loud but thankfully it was good music :-) definitely another great anniversary on the books because out or server! You rock Justina! -Rich.

Hello. My friends and I were at Bjs yesterday, June 11th at around 8 pm when the mall closed. We were a group of 4 teenage girls and felt like we were getting mistreated because of that. Once we arrived we had to wait about 15-20 minutes which is fine we didn't mind that. When we were seated one of the servers who is a little bit on the shorter side and wore glasses threw us three coasters when there were four of us and said "'ll be back to take your guys's orders." About 15-20 minutes go by and no sign of any workers to take our order. When we were helped by a different sever we ordered drinks and our pizookies together since that's all we were there for. Another 15 minutes go by, no drinks in sight and not even another coaster. After about 45 minutes we get our drinks and then soon after we got out pizookies but, one of them were wrong so the servers brought it back to the kitchen. My friends and I asked for some plates and a couple more spoons and when we were given them, one of the plates were dirty with pizza grease and some sort of pizza toppings. (i'll insert a photo below) We ate the first pizookie in about 10 minutes and waited for our second one for about 20 minutes. While we were eating, we weren't checked up on at all but the tables around us were. When my friends and I were ready to pay we scanned the qr code on our table and found out it didn't work. So, we tried to get one of our servers attention to get the check but we were completely ignored. Once the check was brought we waited another 20 minutes for our server to come pick it up. I understand restaurants can get busy but, at around the time we were there it wasn't that busy at all. My friends and I noticed that all the tables around us were getting served and checked up on regularly and we weren't. After we left we had called the restaurant and were put on hold for the manager. When they answered it instantly hung up. We called again and talked to one of the managers didn't seem to care. We have gone to this location before and it was perfectly fine. I just wanted to come on here and warn people that my friends and I did not have a good experience here yesterday.

Biscoff Cookie Butter Pizookie and Chocolate Chunk Pizookie

Carlos M.

BJ's is killer when it comes to pizookie. The Concord location has pleasant people working there. Dining at BJ's is always a great time, sports, beers, mozz sticks, can't go wrong. The biscoff pizookie was not as overwhelming as I expected. It was crispy and warm. The ice cream combo was spot on.

I was asked to email the company to talk about what happened and I did. They responded by telling me how somebody will call me within one to two days never got a call never see the voicemail. No nothing they didn't even try to reach out to me and this was back in July 21. I tried to email them again that I didn't get a response and still nothing. I can't say I'm surprised with the way the customer service was in the restaurant and how it's being handled now. I just don't see the point in telling me to email them just for them to not say nothing at all. read more

5 stars purely for the service provided every time my wife and I are here! We come every Sunday and have met most of the team who works the bar area. Food is what you expect BJs to be -- not horrible and not amazing lol. If I factored in the food to this review, it'd be more of a 3 but! The service is what matters to me. They're relatively busy on Sundays but I never see a wait. Noisy when there's a game on but never too crazy. Kathleen helped us recently and she did a great job tending to us in a prompt manner with a great energy and smile. read more

Sincere Appreciation for Outstanding Service goes to KESMA RAUF tonight! Today, we had the pleasure of being assisted by Dining Manager Kesma Rauf at the Concord BJ's and we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude! Kesma Rauf kindly took the time to help us with some reward point receipt questions that were previously left out from our Rewards membership, Kesma not only took the time to work on this matter but retrieved our points back to our rewards account! And also walked us through how to properly access and use the rewards BJ account the correct way! While this might seem like a small gesture to some, it meant a great deal to us! In the past, we haven't always received this level of care from Concord management, so having someone like Kesma go "above and beyond" truly stood out to us! Kesma's professionalism, patience, and willingness to help made all the difference to us! We just want to say a big "thank you" to Kesma and his quick willingness to help us with our rewards account issue, as we are regular customers who really appreciate the extra effort! With much gratitude, The Joyner's :) read more

This BJs Restaurant I very beautiful, especially from the outside at night time. I called 2 weeks ahead of time to reserve a table for my birthday. It was quick, easy and a good process to reserve the table: their customer service is very good. The day arrived, and I came 15 min early. Eventually, all my loved ones arrived and we had a beautiful Birthday Dinner. We had about 3 servers help us out throughout our 2-3 hours there, and they all did a spectacular job. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi and a Margarita. A Birthday cookie came for free for me :) The pasta was good; the margarita almost didn't taste like any alcohol, but was okay. The cookie was the best tasting dish of the night. The food was all delicious and came out in a timely manner for everyone else. Everyone almost finished all their plates, and we had a great time at this BJs. Thank you so much for making my day! I would come back any day read more

We came through on our way back from the city and my kids wanted to eat here. We got there around 5:30 and were told a 30 min. wait. I didn't think that was too bad considering we were at a mall really close to Christmas. We got the text for our table being ready about 20 min. later. Nice! Except this is when things start to go wrong. We sat at our table for another 20 min. without a server speaking to us or giving us water or even looking our direction. There were plenty of servers around, but they all seemed to be avoiding us for some reason? I flagged one down told her we didn't know who our server was and would like to order or at least get water, and she was like oh let me go ask the hostess about that. She never returned. Another 10-15 min. later I waved down a second person. Instead of just helping us himself, he too went to investigate. A few minutes later a nice woman showed up, pretty apologetic about us not getting served and I was like fine, whatever, here's the food we want. Once the food was ordered over 30 min after they sat us down, it came out in a fairly normal amount of time. I had ordered the pork chop and my teenager had ordered the prime rib, both of which are advertised as "3-Course Weekend Specials" in the menu. My pork chop was completely burnt and dry when it arrived but I didn't get a picture of it at the time because I was starving at that point and not about to take the time to take a picture or to send it back. When our server came back later and asked about desserts, I started ordering the pizookie that came with my special. She then brought up that their "manager decided not to offer that anymore" even though it's still on the menu. Um... I don't care what your manager wants to offer or not offer, that's how it was described on the menu! I honestly was going to order something else (when I had that long period of time to think about my order) and I only went with the pork chop because I knew we wanted pizookies later and it was a better deal! Wouldn't most businesses let you have the deal anyway when that was what is "advertised" on the menu?! Yet she just kind of looked at me and was like so... do you want the pizookie or not? I'm embarrassed that I got them anyway because I was trying to have a good evening out with my kids and not wanting to go ballistic on this lady about pizookies, but how the hell is this not false advertising? If it says THAT'S the deal, how are they not going to give me what it says it comes with on the menu?? Honestly if I had been by myself or even with other adults I would have gone Karen on them, but I wasn't about to do that in front of my children. read more

Walked into the bar area and tried to ask for permission to sit at a booth in the area. Stood at the bar without being acknowledged for a few minutes before I finally had to flag down a server and was told it was open seating. I sat for 12 + minutes before I saw a table who sat 10 minutes after me be greeted before me. Even if you can't take my order right away, acknowledging my existence would be nice.

Amazing food, great service. White peach margarita was definitely tasty but not all that strong. Old fashioned was strong and classy! Went on a Saturday night after bowling which is right beside the restaurant, and it had a 30-40 min wait time. We then went back late in the night until closing, and was obviously not crowded. Good ambience, clean and nice place to spend an evening with a bunch of frnz. read more

Excellent service with seating! We did bar seating and it was awesome with booths and high top tables n chairs. Family friendly! Great prime rib! The roasted vegetables were overcooked and rubbery, baked potato made up for it! The asparagus was nice! The desserts were sublime!!! The drinks were nice and water was available.

We were in with a large group for my niece's 8th grade graduation. It's her favorite restaurant, so we all decided to have lunch there. Austin was our server and he did not disappoint. He was attentive to everyone at the table and especially to my young kids. I had the brisket/Bacon burger and it was a little messier than I thought it would be. But that didn't stop me from enjoying it....I just needed a few extra napkins. May have had the club sandwich and that was huge! She finished half and took the rest of it home. My kids had the pizza and pasta from the kids menu and I was shocked that meals that big could be considered "kids meals". We wrapped the meal up with the Pizookie Trio Sampler and they were all delicious. Overall, BJ's did not disappoint. We will certainly be back again. Thank you, Austin! read more

Usually, we can just walk in and sit at the bar area and have drinks and eat just the same as in the regular dining room area.

Worst experience at a restaurant. The food and wait time were okay however the service and place itself were not. We were sat next to the bathrooms that were apparently "closed" because of a "sewer leak". There were no signs saying the bathrooms were closed as many people were in and out of them along with there being puke outside of the men's bathroom. During the entire duration of the time we were there the strong stench of puke and poop were overwhelming. When the issue was brought up to the waiter they simply complained about how they were dealing with it themselves and offered no help or offer of moving us. Along with there being no coupon or anything added to our check after the whole issue and complaint. Will be telling everyone I know and will never be returning. read more

The location is very easy to get to, but parking is a challenge, and it was busy when we arrived; by the time we left, the line was gone! Still, we waited about 10 minutes for a party of 5, and we were seated at a nice large table. Our server, Cecelia A., quickly greeted us and took drink orders while we perused the extensive menu. There were some new items I came across, so I had my work cut out to limit my newfound desires. Ultimately, we ordered a few appetizers and some entrees, although some served cross purposes! We started with some boneless Ancho BBQ wings, truffle fries, onion ring tower, cheese curds, and then moved on to chicken nachos, a couple of kids' pepperoni pizzas, a shiitake garlic noodles, a Gardein adult mac 'n' cheese, and a BBQ bacon burger. The apps are quite large here, more so than I expected, and the cheese curds were a favorite along with the wings. The onion rings disappeared as well, but the consensus was they weren't up to Red Robin quality; they were good, just different with the parmesan. The truffle fries were garlicky, which I loved, and shiitake garlic noodles, although listed as an app, were my entree, and they were amazing! Very tasty, with lots of mushrooms and a garlic presence that was not overpowering. Would definitely get it again! The Gardein mac 'n' cheese was large as well, with lots of Gardein chicken in almost every bite. But the nachos - they were enormous! So big that the guy who ordered them didn't even try his BBQ bacon burger; that went home for a later meal! And the kids' pepperoni pizzas were also large, and with fries, were easily an adult meal as well. And we took home almost a whole pizza! Too many good apps filled most of us up before the entrees arrived. The service was great, the food great, the ambiance great, and I look forward to trying more Gardein options. If you are looking for tasty and hearty vegetarian options, look online first, for the website shows the Gardein options in their own section. On the printed menu, these same items are listed below the "regular offerings" as an option, and so it is difficult to find them and know what Gardein options are available for different items. A great meal, looking forward to next time. But not so much food!

We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

I had heard so many great things about BJ's that I couldn't wait to go and try out their signature burger and their Ultimate Long Island. But there were too many things wrong with my experience: Strike 1: I tried their signature BJ's Burger with additional bacon, and the sandwich is served on a toasted garlic french roll instead of a traditional hamburger bun. Oddly enough, I didn't taste any garlic at all while biting into the roll. I had asked for my burger to be cooked medium-rare, and it was served medium-well. (At least the wedge-cut seasoned fries made up for the burger's lack of flavor and juiciness!) Strike 2: I was a bit disappointed in their Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea. It was watered down and had a dark amber color instead of the light blond color it should have. Lo and behold, with my first sip, my taste buds were assaulted with the sweet taste of PEPSI instead of the signature Coke. It also had notes of orange and other things that I do not believe should be in anything called a Long Island. (After drinking it, I looked up the ingredients online and realized that it is created with vodka, gin, rum, orange liquer, sweet & sour and Pepsi instead of the classic vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, sweet & sour, and Coke.) The mixture they serve is definitely NOT recommended. Strike 3: The area in which we were seated was facing a window at sunset. As the sun set behind the building, it suddenly came into view and the waitstaff could not adjust the blinds in any fashion to prevent the searing white light from blinding us as we ate. Apparently, part of the blinds above the window cannot be adjusted. Anyway, the burger and the "Long Island" cost me $30. I guess the only good thing was that the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA championship while I was there! NOTE: The floors are extremely slippery, so make sure you are wearing a decent pair of non-slip tennis shoes or boots that are made with recycled radial tires. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

Stopped by BJ's in Concord with a party of 10 to watch the FIFA final (1:0), and it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences we all had in a loooong time. We were seated around noon on a Sunday, right before the game started, got served, and then... nothing. We've ordered another round and some more finger food ..... NOTHING! We waited well over 30-40 minutes without drinks or food. Eventually we found out our server, Elizabeth, had gone on her lunch break during peak hours with no proper coverage. We literally had no server. We had to ask the manager to step in just so we could get some drinks and place orders. Every server we tried to politely flag down acted like we were bothering them. One even pointed toward the packed bar and basically said, "Until all those people at the bar get served, you're not getting your drinks." That's not something you expect to hear when you're already sitting at a table waiting forever. When Elizabeth came back, instead of apologizing, she gave us attitude and told us not to order through any other server except her!!! After everything that had already happened, that was pretty frustrating. On top of that party over 10 yet 18% gratitude by default. Really?!? with managers help - not this time! To be fair, the food itself was fine. Nothing amazing, but it wasn't overcooked and everything came out decent. The dessert with the three little pie bowls topped with different ice cream flavors was actually kinda cool. BJ's still has a solid beer selection, and the beer was fresh as always. 2 this time where should've been 1. Unfortunatly, good food and good beer can't make up for service this bad. The complete lack of communication, poor planning, and dismissive attitude from the staff ruined what should've been a fun afternoon. Definetly not an experience I'm in a hurry to come back to. read more

can i emphasize how obvious it is that this business is only out to make money with only interest of themselves and not their customers? let me begin... when i was sat, i was sat literally within inches of another dining customer. all of the tables were soo clustered together that there was no breathing room. i could hear everything in full vivid detail of what the people next to me were talking about without trying to eaves drop. now lets talk about the food... i ordered a steak. it was so chewy, i couldn't even hardly swallow the thing without thinking i was going to choke. i ordered a beer. it was a simple 12 oz. fat tire they they had the audacity to charge me $6.25 for. thats straight rape! sorry. i understand that you all want to charge as much as possible and try to keep the tab up so that the servers get a grip of tips being %20 of the bill, but they honestly dont deserve it for the lack of work they do for the over priced menu, when there are food runners, and bus boys doing most of their job. the servers wear a "professional attire" with their white button up collars and their attitude of being so sophisticated, its such a joke. anyway.. my biggest prob was having to sit next to people without any space between us. how freaking tacky! just cram us in there and roll in those bucks guys!! ... most def not about their customers. THIS COMPANY JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY WITH NO CONSIDERATION .... GO HAVE A TEAM MEETING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE YOU ARE GUYS!!! read more

BJ's feels very much like a gigantic sports bar. It probably is. I joined a friend for Happy Hour here on Thursday. We walked in a bit early (nearly 4pm) and headed straight for the bar. Our bartender was energetic, helpful and very knowledgeable about all their draft beers....and trust me there's a lot! I like when places give you samples to try before you buy. She definitely helped us out there...I was able to sample a "Nutty Brunette" and a "Jeremiah Red." Gotta go with the red for round 1. After talking and drinking, I realized that I was starting to feel a bit loopy and ordering food would be the best idea. Mini Pizzas were 1/2 off, and so of course we had to get one: Margherita Mini deep-dish pizza. Not salty, felt a bit light yet filling enough to eliminate the buzz. That can't happen so we decided to order another round...this time she let us sample the Lindeman's Framboise, and a pear sparkling cider (sorry, didn't catch the name). Lindeman's Framboise was my choice, a sweet raspberry fizzy cider-like beverage. Not as heavy as a malt beverage like Mike's Hard Lemonade. By the time we were done, the restaurant had filled up and the room was a-flutter with people talking about how glad they are to be done with work for the day. Never knew there were this many people in Pleasant Hill. Good to know. Total: $25ish for 4 alcoholic drinks and a mini-pizza read more

The staff appears friendly but they should listen better and be specific with what the order is. I ordered a New California Supreme Pizza and I received not what I ordered. It turns out the waiter only wrote down what he thought/assumed was the ingredients of the Pizza "Spinach and Artichokes" but not the NEW CALIFORNIA SUPREME PIZZA. Unfortunately when I realized what I had ordered, our waiter was on a dinner break and someone else took over. When I asked the waitress that took over "Excuse me what kind of Pizza is this?" she responded really RUDELY and said, "What do you mean what is this?" Then I asked that I could borrow a menu and I showed her what I wanted the NEW CALIFORNIA SUPREME PIZZA and she said, "Well that's what he wrote on the slip, he wrote "Spinach and artichoke pizza" once again in a snotty tone of voice then finally she asked, "Do you want me to change it? I can give you a new one." Even though I was disappointed and I didn't want to ruin my evening, I just shook my head and said, "no it's okay". But I was not okay so this is the opportunity to express how I feel. I still gave a 15% tip but honestly with that kind of treatment and tone of voice I shouldn't have. read more

We are fans of BJ's in general; NOT THIS LOCATION. Our server Savannah was horrible. Barely seen and certainly not attentive. Server stations to either side of us, the servers were hustling. People coming in well after us were getting their food; pizzas, large orders.... etc. Savan... takes our order.... close to 30 minutes later NO FOOD. Motioned to who appeared to be the Manager, who made eye contact then went directly into the bathroom. Able to flag down our server, she says Oh... We're waiting for the french dip. (We ordered a french dip and large pizza). Finally the order arrives. THE PIZZA WAS WRONG! (the receipt shows the server put it in wrong) and the meat to the french dip dried out. Kept the sandwich; starving. The pizza was reordered... Being fans of BJ's, was disappointed to find the pizza is no better; overall, than a takeout from that delivery place with a Domino on the box. I don't know how BJ's got the reputation for good pizza. Not meant too be a rant... after all we got a whole $10 discount. Location #492 5/8/23 3:59PM read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (2 out of 5 stars) We really enjoy the food at BJ's, but the service continues to fall short, both with dine-in and takeout. I've spoken to Jose, the GM, and other managers on multiple occasions in the past, yet the problems keep happening. Tonight I placed a takeout order--and once again, it was wrong. My girlfriend's entire entrée was missing. I normally double-check, but I didn't this time. When I got home and noticed, I tried calling the restaurant to resolve it. I was on hold for over 25 minutes with no answer, and never got the chance to speak with anyone or request a refund. This kind of customer service is unacceptable. It's really disappointing because the food is great, but the lack of consistency, poor order accuracy, and no accountability have become the norm. We want to keep supporting BJ's, but it's hard to trust that we'll get what we pay for. read more

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in good hands! A super attentive busboy noticed no one was at the host stand and--like a restaurant superhero--quickly ditched his dishes to seat us. Absolute gem of a human! Then came Austin, our server, who was all smiles (seriously, so many smiles!) and made sure we had everything we needed. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he even helped us navigate the menu like a pro. Now, onto the food! The tortilla soup? Packed with an incredible amount of chicken, though a bit salty for my taste. But the clam chowder? Absolute perfection. And let's talk about that vanilla ice cream--so good, we were raving about it. Turns out, it's Austin's favorite too! Great service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere--definitely a place worth visiting! read more

I had a wonderful dining experience at BJ's Brewhouse in Concord, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Julie M. From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and comfortable. Julie was attentive without being overbearing, had great menu recommendations (the Southwest salad was spot-on!), and checked in just enough to make sure we were doing well without interrupting our conversation. Our drinks were always full, our orders were accurate, and the timing between courses was perfect. Even when the restaurant got busier, Julie remained calm, friendly, and efficient. It's clear that she takes pride in providing great service. Julie definitely made our visit worthwhile . We'll definitely be back--and hope to sit in her section again! read more

I've been in there 10 times in 2016. 2 out of 10 times they get things right. I usually order the Chipotle Salmon and usually what happens is its undercooked and with a different sauce than what what described. One time it was so bad it has has gotten me sick... The 2 times they got it right was very good however... service was lacking. There have been times where it took an hour to get seated (understandable) then 1:45hr to get our food because the server forgot about us and served the other tables. Also, never forget your wallet because the manager refused to let me look under the table even though I knew it was there. When the customers left, sure enough it was there with all my money stolen.... Positive: wide variety of food and some good beer read more

So, this is an update to my last review. Everything about my last review still stands - good food, good beer. Try their IPA and/or the Nit Wit - very good. Why the downgrade? Service. It was atrocious. The drinks came quick, which was nice. We ordered our food (two mini pizzas and a salad). It took 30min for the salad and another 40min for the pizza. During this time we heard nothing from our server. He was too busy with the group of 15ppl that had been seated in his section. When our food finally arrived, it was cold. It took another 5min for the server to get us some ranch. I get that the guy was busy, but at least check in or ask a co-worker/manager for some help. read more

absolutely disheartened by the service I received by not only the server but the staff in the front. Our server started out with a very rude attitude at the first interaction, but the worst was when me and my party of 5 were flat out told "you do know that what you are ordering is $33." What?? We were a group of younger people, coming from someone in the restaurant industry i understand the notion of younger people not "tipping" or being harder to deal with, but me and my party were nothing but respectful and received very poor service by our server Makenzie. Do better!! Food was great per usual but she clearly needs an attitude adjustment and some more training. read more

The soups here are TERRIBLE! The clam chowder was so beyond salty, the brocolli cheddar tasted like canned nacho sauce, and the chicken tortilla soup was the only one passable. It had several slivers of avocado and chips I picked out leaving the highly toxic processed brown stuff on the bottom. The pizzas were above average. Stick with the pizzas. This place should be prohibited from serving these inedible soups. They are about beer and the soups sucked. Even the caesar salad was terrible. Jack in the Box salads taste better. What kind of awful dressing does BJ's put in it? Yuck. Not returning ever. read more

Food is generally good and have always had good service, until today. Had really poor server this morning in the bar. Got order wrong, then argued it was us who was wrong. He never once came by the table, other than to collect dirty plates. Didn't seem to care. Overheard him complaining to other customers he had a large group that wanted separate checks (the reason he wasn't very attentive to them). Gave us the bill and when we asked for change so we could pay exact amount, he said "I DON'T HAVE TIME." Hope management reads these reviews, because usually the servers are great here. read more

I had such a great experience at BJ's, and a huge part of that was our server, Justina. She was super friendly from the moment we sat down and made us feel really welcome. She checked on us at the right times without being overbearing, kept our drinks filled, and made sure everything came out exactly how we ordered it. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. she had a great attitude the whole time and made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. Honestly one of the best servers I've had in a while. If you go to BJ's, definitely ask for Justina! read more

Ate lunch here today. One thing I don't understnad is why the don't offer a lunch menu on the weekends. They said because most people have more time on weekends and the food on the lunch menu is designed to be made quickly. OK, but what about the poeple that don't eat those huge portions. SHe ended up letting me get a weekend lunch item. Which was very nice of her. Salad was good. BJ's is like an Applebees, but a little better. A good place overall for lunch. Drinks were quick, food didn't take long at all. Server had a smile on her face always friendly. read more

I used to love BJ's like crazy, then I think their corporate offices expanded too fast and in recent years it's gotten a little "chain-y." Their pizzas are still delicious, but for the most part the rest of their food is over-salty and you can tell it's pre-packaged for the masses. I will give them that their beers are quite tasty, and they make a mean bloody mary (which goes well with beer too!), so I do enjoy going there, especially if a good sports game is on. Overall, I'd say 3 and a HALF stars, but Yelp doesn't allow the half star bonus. :) read more

Saturday i went to BJ's around ll:30 with 2 other people. The restaurant is dark and dreary. We asked for a window table and the waiter said "I have to go talk to my supervisor." Really? There was a total of 20 customers in the restaurant, otherwise, empty. I turned around and walked out. If a restaurant is open for the lunch "crowd" they should have enoiugh employees to adequately serve the customers. It was Saturday and noon houir . . so we left and went to Rred Robin and had a wonderful meal . .served immediately . No hassle read more

Stopped by BJ's in Concord for dinner and had a good overall experience. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Biscoff Pazookie...warm, rich, and absolutely worth saving room for. Easily the best thing we ordered. The Ahi Tuna Salad was decent but not particularly memorable. Cocktails were okay and got the job done, though nothing stood out. Service was friendly, attentive, and one of the stronger parts of the experience. The food overall was average solid chain restaurant fare. It is popular though and always busy. read more

Every time I attend BJ's I am pleasantly surprised by the wonderful service I receive. The food is great and they always let me sample the beer, considering I am not usually a beer drinking. I've ordered anything from their pizza to avocado rolls to their delicious balsamic chicken with mashed potatoes. Their wide variety allows me to try something different every time. I have been at different locations but this is my favorite. One host, Violet, knows me to be a regular and she is always very welcoming. Give it a try! read more
