Came in as a group of 3 at 10pm on a weekday. The restaurant itself was pretty crowded but there was no one in the waiting area so we thought that the wait wouldn't be that long. We were told that our wait was going to be about 20-25 minutes due to have only 2 servers for the eating area, which was fine with us. We ended up waiting closer to 40 minutes with no updates throughout from the staff until we had to go up ourselves and ask about how much longer we had to wait. We eventually got seated around closer to 11pm. We were there mainly for the pizookies but also ordered other items off the menu, such as the brewhouse bites sampler and the deep dish ziti. Pizookie itself satisfied the sweet tooth cravings but the other dishes were fairly subpar. Would go here again only if I had cravings for the pizookies. Our server however was very nice and attentive. She checked in with us very often to see how things were going and if we needed anything. Food itself also came out fast (around 10-15 minutes). However the wait time was very off putting, especially that late at night. We ended up spending a bit over 2 hours at the restaurant, half of which was pure waiting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shoutout to Martha! Absolutely fantastic service during lunch yesterday. She was very helpful in explaining the $13 specials and was enthusiastic when serving my family. She was also seamlessly serving like three other tables aside from ours and did a fantastic job of it. The food was also good. I went with the unlimited soup and salad combo because I wasn't sure I'd get full from the other discounted specials. Turns out those were still pretty decently sized and they all came with pizookies. The clam chowder was okay but the chili was my favorite. The house salad was also quite good. I got the strawberry shortcake pizookie and I was very happy with it. Not too sweet (which is like the ultimate dessert compliment) and a pretty decent size for an individual. Overall, I was happy with my experience here and would absolutely come back. But I also came during like almost 2pm on a Friday. It was quiet and absolutely nowhere near full (which was good). I don't know how long I would've waited to eat during dinner time or the weekend. read more

My friend and I were craving pizookies, so we headed to BJ's. We couldn't decide on just one flavor, so we went with the trio for $13, which lets you pick three mini pizookies. We chose Cookies n Cream, Chocolate Chunk, and Strawberry Shortcake--all of them were absolutely delicious, but definitely on the super sweet side (we were sipping water after every bite). Our server was really kind and attentive. I don't remember her name, but she was an older white woman with glasses and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

I had a great experience at Bjs restaurant. My servers name was Justina, she was kind and told me all about beer club. I love beer, she told me about the BJs Tatonka stout, right up my alley! It was exactly the beer I was looking for. My server gave great recommendations on the menu and I ordered everything she recommended like the wings, and mozzarella sticks. The ribeye, with onions and mushrooms, side of loaded baked potato , and a wedge salad. Would definitely come back and ask to be served by Justina, her service was perfection! read more

My 3 roommates and I went to BJ's on a Wednesday at 8:30 pm. We were seated at about 9. We really came for the large pizookie. It got us hype as it came out on a pizza sized pan with loads of ice cream mounded in the middle. It was super gooey. It was $30. We also got 2 appetizers: ahi poke and calamari. Both were alright. Meh. Each were $17. BJ's tends to be one of those restaurants where I ask myself why I agreed to come. This visit reaffirmed my self questioning. read more

Pretty poor service. A few weeks ago, we called to place and order and were left on hold for many minutes - hung up and ate elsewhere. This weekend, we placed an order over the phone and came in. I saw one couple waiting for a while, no one greeted them, they ended up leaving after not getting a table. Our food was made incorrectly so they had to remake it. The spinach artichoke dip tasted pretty good but the chips were all burnt so it affected the taste. I'm sorry to say but we won't be coming back. $17 for artichoke dip that was not full and chips that weren't great was not worth it. read more

we came in on a sunday evening, and the service was extremely quick! i'm not gonna lie, we felt a bit rushed with how often our server came to check on us, but i suppose it's better than the reverse. i got the italian chicken parmigiana pasta and the portion is very generous! the chicken has a nice layer of cheese and the pasta is well-cooked. we got the pizookie trio, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal! the strawberry shortcake pizookie did feel a bit raw and uncooked in the middle, but we still ate it... overall still a tasty dessert read more

My experience at bjs was amazing!!! My server was Justina, she was such a kind person to be around. She Kindly recommended wings as an appetizer, and just like she said they were amazing!!! She informed me about something called beer club, I'm not from the area I'm traveling from out of state, I would of signed up other wise! I told her I like beer but sweeter ciders, she recommended the prickly pear, which was amazing! I had a great time I noticed that my server had a lot of tables and she was handling it very well. If I was her I would be stressed out. She did not show any stress or discomfort in her demeanor. The look of the restaurant was nice and and looked clean, it gave a comfortable ambiance. Would return if I lived near this location but will most definitely try and find a location near me! read more

The wait staff. Lack of Training or lack of motivation. Our waitress forgot our water, our drinks, the ketchup and was kind of an attitude giver when asked for bigger take out containers. She is not cut out for customer service. Had to fiag down another waitress to get ketchup. It wasn't busy. There was plenty of staff. But service lacked hospitality or a personal touch.

My friend of 50 years and I, decided to celebrate our birthdays with a prime rib dinner at BJ'S. I'd never had their food so was a little hesitant about a delicious steak. But she was correct...the prime rib, baked potato, wedge salad, and clam chowder were on point...delicious. Even the dessert was over the top! But I was so disappointed, not understanding the mediocre service, albeit friendly, that allowed our used and/or empty dishes to remain on our small table. The large appetizer platter remained on the table as the salads, soups, and main course dishes were brought out. At one point, we began to stack the unwanted dirty dishes on a corner of the table so they could be seen. Before we left, we needed to speak to the manager regarding another matter, and she noticed a stack of dirty dishes on the table corner and offered to take it away. This was a second stack. Unfortunately, we failed to mention to her that the long-handled dessert serving spoons accompanying the ice cream had traces of earlier servings of dessert usage. We notified our waiter, Robert, who immediately responded with new spoons and these only showed a mere swipe of previous usage, smeared the length of the long-handled spoon. We didn't bother him again. We decided to give him a more than 20% tip that probably surprised him. We ate our desserts with the spoons and forks that had been left on our table with the dirty dishes because we knew who had just eaten and left those germs on the silverware! Cleanliness matters! I hope the manager realizes that non-chalant or dismissive staff are a reflection on her, unfortunately. read more

I've been coming to this location whenever I'm in town since it opened way back when and the food has really fallen off. I'm not sure if they changed up on vendors, ingredients, or skimped on quality to keep profits, but it's noticeable and I usually don't bother rating chain restaurants I've been too hundreds of times, but they tapped out of my beer selection 2 of the last 4 times. Nothing against the staff, because they're super polite, friendly and have no control over it. As a matter of fact, the bar tenders and servers are the main reason I don't stop going since the decline in food quality. If you're looking for a convenient spot to grab a brew while family shops, I recommend this place, but I'm taking it off my list of places to eat unless they go back to the old way of preparing food read more

Wasn't gonna leave a review but this isn't the first time I've had a bad experience here. When I came into bjs last week I was wondering why the service was so awful. My server was having a hard time and I asked to speak to a manager because I've had bad experiences here in the past and I wasn't trying to have a repeat of the same experience. The manager on duty came over to speak to me and to be honest she just seemed to not care. She wasn't much help at all. When leaving I was disappointed to see the SAME manager outside smoking what looks like pot. Like seriously? Does nobody care at that place. My family and I will not be returning, hopefully they get new staff. read more

Incompetent front of house staff. Was told it was going to be a 30-40 minute wait which was no problem, we put our name down to be on the list. Go back after 40 minutes and the host seemed to be clueless. They were seating people that had just put their name down and walked in after 10 minutes when we had been waiting an hour at this point. We ended up leaving, food there is not worth that long of a wait. Will not be back to this location unless some major changes are made. read more

We decided to try BJ's again and found it packed with the over geriatric crowd which should have warned us the food would be geriatric tasting too and the service slow. It was exactly that. Tried it anyway and found it to be less than good. our server was busy but managed to get us food fast. The staff were slammed and not friendly. They looked miserable working there which says a lot about the restaurant Management. This place has become a similar to Dennys old vibe and patronage. For me it's a No. read more

We came to BJ's after the circus to celebrate my husband's birthday with a larger group. Our friends even arrived an hour early to get our name on the list, yet we still waited over 1.5 hours to be seated -- and the restaurant wasn't even full. Once seated, things only got worse. Our server clearly had no idea what he was doing. Multiple orders were wrong, cold, and delayed. Drinks came out late or not at all. Food was either missing, incorrect, or poorly prepared. We were stuck at this restaurant for over 5.5 hours, which is absolutely unacceptable -- especially considering I'm very pregnant. A place like BJ's should not be this disorganized and unaccommodating. The manager was no help at all -- no real apology, no urgency, no resolution. This was genuinely one of the worst dining experiences we've had in years. Would not recommend this location to anyone. Terrible service, poor management, and a waste of what should've been a special night. read more

Wow. I have to say that I was very disappointed. I have been to BJ's years ago and it was excellent. The first thing I have to say is that I was seated and then it was like 10 minutes or 15 minutes before I was even acknowledge. They weren't that busy but I guess my waitress was she was nice though so I don't want to hold anything against her. However the weight was kind of aggravating I almost got up and left and I probably should have I ordered the steak and ribs in the steak was kind of weird tasting. I don't know what happened. I know that when I looked at it it said roasted not grilled. And the ribs weren't very appealing they weren't bad they tasted okay, however it seems like they were just something that was heated up Overall I could go on, the food itself wasn't that at spectacular. I had a dessert and that was nice. I probably won't go back I think there was more hype to the idea BJ's then the actual experience read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner because we were just at Round1. With how late it was and the area we were in, we didn't have much options that we wanted to explore. We came to BJs. Usually it doesn't disappoint, but this experience was something different. The service wasn't great, but it wasn't super awful either. It felt like the waitress was ready to call it night, so she sort of half ass her job. For appetizers we ordered the avocado egg roll. I got the ribeye steak with asparagus and cheddar mashed potatoes while my bf got the ahi tuna salad. I had asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and I had wanted the cheddar mashed potatoes. Instead my steak was borderline well done, I got plain mashed potatoes, and the asparagus had some pieces that were bad. The ahi salad, was asked to be prepared without the rice wine vinaigrette, and to be brought out with a side or ranch. The tomatoes were in large pieces, as if they were trying to rush the salad making, it was a bit of a messy plate. The looked on my bf face as he ate it was not pleasing. When I took a bite of his salad, I realize that they didn't leave out the vinaigrette. We kinda felt ignored, when we needed to make food request, at least the server refilled my ice tea. I don't know, maybe it's just the area the restaurant was in? We probably would have been better off going through a drive through. read more

We went to this location for a volleyball tournament, we usually go to the Santa Rosa location and enjoy it. Our server took a while to take our order and forgot to give us our drinks and food that was ordered at the same time, finally 30 minutes later she comes back asking "if we want our food now or if we were still waiting on something" we said we were waiting for our food and drinks we had ordered earlier and she had to find our order in her tablet. She comes later with our food with our steaks switched and mashed potatoes dried under the heat lamps, with unseasoned, dry broccoli. Overall not good service nor food. read more

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
