Written: Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking out for a well rounded dining experience. Customer service is great, workers are very nice and always looking where they can be helpful. Food is great and ambiance isn't half bad, just the California air that messes the joint up a bit. Just about everyone cleared their plates, and we had a big group! Number rating: Food: 8/10 Customer service: 9.5/10 Ambiance: 7/10 Overall: 8.5-9/10

I honestly don't know why this restaurant was chosen for us to eat at. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The girl at the front desk had a very rude attitude and acted as if customers were bothering her. Every time someone walked in, she would roll her eyes and seem annoyed to even do her job. Customer service sets the tone for a restaurant, and unfortunately this was not welcoming at all. There was also another lady next to her, possibly a manager, and instead of staying professional they were openly talking badly about situations while customers were around. It just created an uncomfortable environment overall. As for the food, it was just okay. We waited about an hour for our meals, and when the food finally came out, it was cold and had to be taken back. Between the poor service, long wait, and cold food, the experience was not worth it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back.

More than enough parking was available. Cool vibes. They had sports games on all of the TVs. Was able to sit at a booth in the bar area. Great service from our waitress. She was really nice and attentive at her best with being busy with other tables. The Crispy Calamari was really good. Was the main reason for our visit last night lol. It also came out fast. Ordered it soon as we sat down. Spinach and artichoke dip was good too. I ordered 2 orders of the sliders. Both orders were exceptional. I could've swore the last time I ordered sliders from BJ's it was only 3 burgers lol. These came with 4. Get enough from the 1st round so I had to order another. Forgot to take pics of the sliders tho.

BJ's is becoming my new favorite restaurant to dine in. They have a huge selection of food to choose from and I like sitting at the bar and they have a huge beer and mixed drinks selection as well. I like sitting at the bar because the service is way faster than sitting at a table. The bartenders usually take care of you quick so every time my beer is almost done they ask me and fill me up quick.

Stopped by last weekend . Was seated quickly. Our server was Chelsea she was nice, attentive and helped with our requests. The food came out fairly quick and it was delicious. It was nice and fresh inside with music and games on the tv. We had a good time. By the time we left the place was full and people waiting to be seated.

Stopped by for my fiancée's birthday with her parents and loved it per usual. I've been coming to this BJ's location since years and it's always consistent. Servers are great. Parking is great. Food is great. Love of TVs to watch good sports and our specific server this day was kind enough to even offer to take a pic of our table! Only strange thing was why was the scientology channel on tv? lol Can't wait to come back and get more pizookies!

Cinthia S.

Took about 15mins to bring just waters and no alcohol drinks... Short staffed but the servers that were there seemed to just like to hangout by the bar standing around or chit chatting and not taking care of the tables. Definitely not coming back here unless they have plenty servers to take care of the customers.

I went here for lunch with my wife. As usual, this place was packed, but we were lucky enough to get a booth in the bar area. The waitress was overwhelmed with tables, but managed to get us our menus and drinks. Before ordering our food, we saw another couple across from us receive theirs, and it looked really good. The woman had ordered the Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad, and the man had ordered the All-American Smash Burger with fries. Both of these items were on their $13 lunch special. The salad had a large amount of chicken and looked amazing. When the waitress asked for our orders, we told her that we would like the exact same thing as they had. Our orders arrived, and for some reason, my salad had half as much chicken as the woman across from us and looked more like a side salad. I asked the waitress why my salad seemed to have much less chicken than the woman's, and she did have an answer. Moments later, the restaurant manager showed up at our table and asked if everything was fine. I addressed the lack of chicken on my salad, and the manager agreed and had the chef cook an extra chicken breast for my salad. I really appreciated the manager recognizing the mishap with my salad and ordering the extra chicken at no charge. Overall, our experience was good. The waitress was very attentive, the food was good, and the manager was very attentive to her customers. I would recommend this restaurant.

Excellent Service!!! 15 Minute Wait Time!!! Almost all the time!!! Food was excellent & service was above average! The waiters checked in at least twice times within our visit. We were also greeted by the manager as they made their rounds, very polite & friendly. We had gone to the Cerritos BJs but they had a wait time of over 90 minutes, then I called Downey and they had no wait time. We walked in and were sat down in less than 15 minutes. Restaurant was full but they were on point which made the restaurant run very smooth.

I love BJ's is because Monday through Friday. They have a deal where I can get a burger with any side as a lettuce wrap or with gluten-free bread. I also get a gluten-free Pazooki with vanilla ice cream for $13. The burger had perfect flavor and wasn't too salty! I always add buffalo wings sauce with ranch, which makes it delicious! The Pazooki is gluten-free, but it does not taste gluten-free! It's the best gluten-free chocolate chip warm cookie I have ever had! If you are sensitive to salt like me they accommodate, and don't add salt to the burger. My waitress Laura was very sweet and patient with me. The ambience is really chill so you could go with a friend or even a date!

Marissa O.

Leslie was super great and attentive. She really took care of my friends and I. It was a busy Friday night and she was patient with us as we were ordering. my friends and I weren't planning on staying long but Leslie made us stay longer as she kept suggesting other drinks & food items. food was good and drinks were amazing! Thank you Leslie!! (: we'll be back!

I chose BJ's for my birthday celebration and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our server, Antonella was incredibly friendly, attentive, and stayed on top of everything even though the restaurant was PACKED. The food was great and the staff was friendly. Thank you for helping make my birthday dinner so enjoyable for my family and I. We'll definitely be back and ask for Antonella.

We had a reservation for 9. It was a Friday and super busy, they sat us right away, even though the greeter said to wait for 10 mins since we were early. My father ordered prime rib and it's a shame that the cooks and servers were so busy it probably sat for too long. They brought the steak before the salad. Needless to say my father didn't eat the steak and the server picked upon it and sent the manager over. Who did a great job saying he would make a new one, get him something else or take it off the bill. It was excellent customer service, and although I understand it being busy, isn't that what keeps them in business? Dessert also took another 15 mins even though it was ordered with the food. read more

Went here for happy hour today 03.19.2024. Seated ourselves in the happy hour section. Greeted by our waitress and handed us two menus. Great selections of appetizers and adult beverages. Ordered a $4 domestic beer, egg rolls, chicken wings and salad. Received our meal and all tasted very good. The chicken wings were dry rub with lemon pepper. Not to many selections when it comes to side sauces. Requested honey mustard and Tabasco sauce to add some flavor. It was good enough but wasn't great in variety. Salad was fresh, no complaints! At the end received dessert which is part of our combo. Pookizie chocolate chip with vanilla ice cream. Very yummy!. Overall, had a good vibe to the area. Lots of parking and workers were friendly. I would come back. read more

I hadn't been to a BJ's in ages and met up with a friend while I was in the area. The pizza is still as good as I remember, although they have gotten rid of the peanut butter, white chip macadamia nut, and brownie pazookies (very sad about those, RIP). However, they did have a new strawberry shortcake pazookie for the summer and that was delicious! The service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was fairly typical for your local BJ's. read more

BJs is a good place overall. They have a good selection and pretty good portions. Unfortunately like most places lately, their prices are pretty high. The food was good, no complaints with what was ordered. The service however was very slow and wasn't always the most pleasant demeanor. Also, having the order desk behind us, I had to hear staff talking (aka complaining) or signing (badly) while at our booth. Other than that, the restaurant and restrooms were clean and was overall, a good experience. read more

$13 pizookie deal!! The All American smash burger + fries was really good. Highly recommend, you and substitute regulator fries for sweet potato fries BJ's in Downey is a reliable spot when you're looking for a casual dining experience with a wide-ranging menu that can satisfy just about anyone in your group. The restaurant has a lively, family-friendly atmosphere, making it a good choice for everything from weeknight dinners to relaxed celebrations. The menu is extensive, offering everything from pizzas and burgers to salads, pasta, and classic comfort food. Portions are generous, and there's a solid balance between indulgent options and lighter choices. Their deep-dish pizza and burgers are popular for a reason, and the dessert menu especially the famous Pizookie is a must-try if you have room. Service is generally friendly and attentive, even during busy hours, and the staff does a good job of keeping things moving without making you feel rushed. The Downey location is spacious and well-maintained, which adds to the overall comfort of the experience. While it may not be a destination for fine dining, BJ's in Downey delivers consistency, variety, and value making it a dependable go to for casual meals, group gatherings, or when everyone wants something different. read more

It's nice that parking is accessible in the front on Bellflower Blvd. and in the back parking lots. There are areas where you can sit on stools or on picnic benches. Also several corners where there's shaded trees and a swing bench. It's nice to have the eating area in the middle of the courtyard, but I really don't like the dirt area. But I get that it's probably easier for spills to be soaked up so people don't slip and it's less maintenance. If you're a fur-parent don't worry, there's even a couple bowls from which your pet can get fresh water from their drinking fountain. Or just bring your own bowl and fill it up at the water station. It's really a pet friendly place. We brought our Shih Tzu along and saw another dog sitting on the bench. Food choices are good, you can enjoy a beer and burger, tacos, Filipino/Korean fusion, Coffee, Boba, Argentinian food. There's also a big screen which they televise sports games. Price wise it's about $15-$20 per person for a complete meal.

This place exceeds all my expectations... It's pretty loud in here at times. The place would be considered lively. New York Steak is killer good. 12oz steak with a vegetable medley and Mash Potatoes and gravy. The steak is very high grade (what what what?!) and the entire meal is $23.... Compare this to a combo at Wendy's for $16 lol. Steak here tends to overcook a level so ask for the level below. Juicy, great texture, excellent flavor, and grill lines! Sampler Has everything needed to satisfy all appetites! Wings are on the larger size, crispy, juicy in the inside, and well seasoned. Guacamole is fresh made and they fry their own chips which is unique. I always switch out the Jalapeño sticks with sweet potato fries or more mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks come with an excellent marinara sauce. The bread bowl is a full miss for me. There is probably three tablespoons of soup in it and the entire bread is about the size of a large muffin at Costco and so overpriced that Disneyland's is a much better value. The casino basically has 4 concept restaurant with their own kitchens but you can basically order from any of them and robots will drive them over to you or a server will go pick it up and bring it to you and put it on one tab. The current ones are Pho (Vietnamese), Sora (Sushi/sashimi/hand rolls), Luyixian (China/Taiwan inspired Chinese food), and here American grill. I ordered Sora's Nigiri set for $45 on one of visits and while the sushi was incredibly fresh it is really not worth it. Not enough sushi and too much filler like edamame. French fries here sometimes gets subbed with normal fries but they generally always have sweet potato fries, and some of best seasoned fries all around. Their fries as on is cheaper than Mcdonald's small fries. When you come in just find a table and sit down and someone will come to you with menus and such. Service here is incredibly good. Shout outs to Sarah, Iris, Victoria, Miguel, and Christian. You all make our visits like a mini vacation and we have such a great time. Never thought eating at a casino would be so much fun. There is so much other food to try. Will be back to try it all soon! Trust me this place is that good!

We saw a TikTok on this cafe and all the comments on it were raving on how great this place was so…read morewe decided to give them a try. In all honesty, we were very disappointed. We ordered a Spanish and Agave Latte. Both were extremely milky and watered down. Both tasted like an Americano with milk. They don't have food items but they do have pastries. They have pan dulce and these were individually wrapped which is a really nice touch. The place itself is cute. Its decor is Instagram-able and they have an outside patio with comfortable seating. There's a hammock and couches and 2-3 tables. It's really nice outside but on hot days like today, they also have some seating inside. They do offer wifi so it seems like a chill spot to sit and work. We visited on a Friday morning and it was busy. All tables were taken and outside area was also full. There were only two workers and when we arrived, there was a line. It did take a bit of time to get our order but the two men were very busy prepping the orders. There's another detail that didn't really sit right with us, but in hindsight, it's not a big deal. From the TikTok we saw, and from witnessing the 2-3 parties order before us, it seems like the baristas take you your coffee...this was definitely not what we experienced. The barista yelled out for us from inside as we were outside to come get our coffees. Again, it's not a big deal and it's not something I know cafes usually do, but seemed a little off given everyone else did get their coffees taken to them. From our experience, staff wasn't rude but weren't extremely friendly either. It was very busy so I'm assuming they were a bit overwhelmed. Overall, glad we gave this place a try. I wouldn't return though and I would definitely not recommend it.

Searching down the map for the drive back from LA, saw this interesting thing. And great reviews from others sealed the deal to try it out. Online ordering with pick up time was very convenient. Driving down, got a text about 5 min before pick up time, just perfect. Cute and super clean store. Friendly gal grabbed the order for me and I was off in no time. Got the party pack (30) for the school staff, and of course had to try for myself too with a regular (9). Ended up being an hour and a half before I got around to trying our box of 9. Looked interesting enough. Kid took his bite and said yum. I took mine to the sink (lol) to catch any crumbs, but surprised me that it's not just a ball of a regular donut. This had an amazingly satisfying crispy crunchy exterior, with an airy chewy interior! I can't imagine how much better it would be when freshly made at the store! Even an hour and a half later was delicious... Me and the kid quickly devoured our 3 each and struggled to leave 3 for wife before we had to go to an activity. When we returned, wife was also raving, what was that, where did you get it? Trust me, you will not be able to eat just one. I'm greedy, I definitely want more than 3 next time! Donut ball itself wasn't overly sweet, just delicious period. I guess it's the toppings that add the sweetness. Only tried the classic (honey cinnamon, walnut). The other flavors will probably be amazing desserts, but I think all I need is just the donut ball by itself. Honey and walnut adds a bit of sweetness and bite, but the base donut ball is a shining star on it's own in my book! Good thing was the honey was mostly on the bottom and walnut crumbles on top, so you can rub as much or not of those as it fits you. Few days later, each of us were still talking about this greek donut. Just looking for a reason to grab this again. Father's day is coming up, I think it's time for a Party!

The person helping us was friendly, informative and so welcoming, and took their time telling us the origins of the donuts, explaining the flavors and the options to us. Very sweet, very kind! We came in at 2 on a Tuesday and they had just finished making a fresh batch (they are made every 30 minutes), so we lucked out on that and got to try these at their peak! Really wonderful. This will definitely be a stop for us when we are out this way again. Might even be worth driving for as a special treat from time to time!

I came to this location to celebrate my grandmothers birthday and for having two servers for a party of 12 I was surprised at the lack of service. We were already upset that our wait of 30 minutes turned into a wait of 70 minutes. We ordered drinks and they took around 40 minutes to bring out all the drinks. All the food took a long time to come out as well and to top it off the servers were giving attitude towards the end of our meal. I also decided to place a takeout order and to my surprise it wasn't until I went to pay for my order 20 minutes after I had placed it that they decided to start making the food. There's a reason I placed my order on the phone so I wouldn't have to waste time waiting for my food to be prepared and yet 35 minutes have passed since I ordered my food and it still hasn't come out. Next time I would rather go to another location even if it is out of the way. read more

we really needed this place in Downey. I've been three times already and all three times it was packed. although im a real people person and enjoy seeing my community having a good time, the wait is long to seat and the food takes a while. Fine if you are on a date and want to spend time together, not a favorite if you are starving and with your buddies. The beer is really tasty. I have aquired a palate for the fuller bodied beers and go with the Tatonka Stout. you all have tried that one right?? Be careful it has the most alchohol content at 8.5%. And the food is pretty good. i like the pizza and a salad. Being only open for a month now, in the future, the staff hopefully will work together better and the food will start getting on the table sooner. Investors this place is a gold mine. We need another happening place in Downey...............????? read more

We absolutely adore this restaurant - it's become a family favorite! The food is nothing short of amazing. The ribs were so tender; the meat practically fell off the bones, and the mashed potatoes were hands down the best we've ever had. To top it all off, we indulged in the pie-zookies, which were so delicious that we couldn't resist ordering some to go. The service was top-notch, and our server was on point throughout the entire meal. We never had to ask for anything; she was always there with a smile, efficiently helping not only us but also her fellow teammates and the whole restaurant. The overall experience was wonderful, from the great service to the fantastic food. The baby back ribs, wings, and pizza were all standout dishes. With such a positive experience, we're definitely planning on coming back for more of those delicious moments! read more

So it took me a while to write this as I wanted to give myself the opportunity to see if I had one bad experience or if the service was just horrible. So my boss and I go for lunch this past Friday and what do you know same bad service. You walk in no one smiles or is friendly. Greeters well they tell you stand right here will take you to your seats but they make you stand their as they finish their conversations. The waitress we had her shirt was do dirty. I mean it seriously looked like she had not washed it in days. It was so disgusting that my boss noticed. They are horrible about filling your drink or checking on you. Again customer service needs to be their priority. It's always the same type of service. I just don't understand especially when you give a suggestion to the managers. At least ensure your team looks clean and presentable. read more

We had an amazing dining experience at BJ's Restaurant, and the standout was the excellent service. Our server, Jesse, went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our taste. We mentioned we were fans of fresh, light flavors, and Jesse suggested the avocado rolls--they were absolutely delicious! Perfectly ripe avocado, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of seasoning made them a new favorite. Throughout our meal, Jesse was attentive to our preferences, recommending dishes and drinks that perfectly matched what we were in the mood for. He checked in just enough to make sure we were happy without ever hovering, which made the evening relaxed and enjoyable. The food was fantastic, but Jesse's attention to detail and genuine effort to match our tastes made all the difference. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had a really enjoyable visit to BJ's Restaurant! The chicken fettuccine egg rolls and avocado rolls were absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. They were definitely the highlight of the meal! We also tried one of their pizzas. It was good overall, though the pepperoni was a bit on the salty side for my taste. Still, it had a nice crust and plenty of cheese. What really stood out, though, was the service friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a good meal. BJ's continues to be a solid choice for great appetizers, reliable food, and top-notch service.

Terrible Experience at BJ's Restaurant We were told the wait would be an hour, which we were fine with initially. However, things quickly went downhill. We checked in with the host several times and were told we were third in line, then second, and finally that we were next. But after waiting an additional 20 minutes with no update, we checked back again only to be told, "Oh no, you're not next. We don't know who told you that--you still have another 30 minutes to wait." In total, we waited an hour and a half with constant misinformation before deciding to leave. This was completely unacceptable, and the lack of communication and organization from the staff was extremely disappointing. We won't be coming back. read more

I've been going here for about 10 years (whenever they opened) and my experiences here are usually mediocre but the food is always consistent (unless you order takeout especially the cookie with ice cream! Not cooked the same as ordering in and usually a smaller portion). Staff is generally mixed (some extremely nice some very irritated). I ran into both today but the person working the takeout was such a breath of fresh air! I believe his name was Oshay but I forgot to ask just overheard a woman call out to him. He was very pleasant and welcoming and took great care of myself and my order! Loved his energy and attitude. Wish I could've left a bigger tip! read more

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was terrible--bland, poorly prepared, and served at the wrong temperature. It was obvious that little care went into the quality of the meal. The service was just as bad. The staff seemed uninterested, slow to respond, and inattentive throughout our visit. We had to wait far too long for our food and struggled to get anyone's attention when we needed assistance. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Between the poor food and terrible service, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely not be returning. read more

Her positive attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. She checked in regularly without being intrusive, kept our drinks refilled, and ensured our food arrived exactly as ordered. Ariah's excellent customer service truly enhanced our experience, and we would gladly return because of her. Highly recommend asking for her if you have the chance! The place was also very clean read more

Like all restaurant food chains out there, BJ's isn't safe from the decline in food quality. I get it, food is becoming more expensive so the quality has to go down for the same price. Maybe because my expectations were low or I was extremely lucky. Probably both. But I had a great piece of salmon. Juicy and seasoned awesomely. Kudos to the chef. Definitely not something I expect from the chain, but I thought it was deserving of a review. Service was also quick and friendly to my partner and I. So the whole experience was great. Thanks! read more

Ariah R was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating throughout our entire visit. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked in on us regularly, and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service truly stood out. Servers like Ariah are the reason we look forward to coming back to BJ's. Thank you for making our visit so memorable! The food was also amazing so our kudos to the cooks!:) The restaurant was also very clean and well kept!! read more

Nicolette was our server tonight and she was absolutely amazing! The vibes were immaculate, and next time I'm back, sitting in her section is a must. Thank you for suggesting the Brussels sprouts--I probably never would have tried them otherwise, and they were so good! And as someone who lives for dessert (especially a seasonal Pizookie ), adding the strawberries to the Chocolate Dubai Pizookie was the move. Thank you for that recommendation, Nicolette! It took an already incredible dessert to the next level. We'll definitely be back! read more

BJs BJs...you know, for a spot that is the in middle of Downey with very little to choose from to satisfy the seasoned foodie..you don't do a bad job. It provides what you would expect from a typical BJ's menu, but what I was impressed with the most was the take-out service. They had a spot where you can walk-in, make the transaction, and peace out! Back to your oh-so-lovely 9-5 routine. It is also a lot faster and more clean-cut than the other take out 'chain' like options (Elephant Bar/Chili's). read more
