We ate on the patio for lunch and go9d service. Also, good choices for the $13.00 menu specials.

I can see why BJ's rates 5 star reviews. My family and I experienced 5 star service from one of your wait staff, Lannah M. We were a party of six and were seated out in your patio section. Lannah, treated us with some of the best service I've experienced in many years. I have a culinary and hospitality background, beside being in foodservice for 42 years. Lannah is one of the best wait staff that has ever served me and my quests. My family raved about how she treated all of us with punctuality and an extremely big smile. She really took care of us and your management team should take notice, you have a star working at BJ's. Please thank her from my family, she is one of your best! read more

My mom brought home two Atlantic Salmons earlier today I reheated the broccoli to share my dish with my 9 months old baby, i always inspect closely what I will feed my daughter, so when I inspected the broccoli I noticed something white ish in between the vegetable and saw the white/ yellow ish maggot on it This is incredibly disgusting to see when you sit at the table ready to eat, and honestly a food concern, they should inspect their food before selling it. read more

The leader of my good food good company men's group picked BJ's as the location of our August luncheon so here we are. I have no objections as I always enjoyed coming to BJ's. For someone who hates to wait for eat and BJ's has plenty of tables and large TV screens throughout the restaurant. I am not sure when BJ updated its menu but I was happy to see it now offers daily specials and $13 pizookie meal deals. I enjoyed my smash burger. I suspect pizookies are made to order but it was a real test for my patience. I used to come to BJ's for its pizza and chicken wings but I think I'll order the baby back ribs next time. read more

My husband and I like going to BJs especially for lunch. It's a nice casual dining experience with good service and reasonably priced food. Today was loaded burger day where all their loaded burgers with the exception of the new Wagyu burger is only $13 with unlimited fries. Their lunch menu options, available until 3 pm, are also $13 and it also comes with a small personal sized pizookie which is a great way to end your meal! Amy our server was amazing today. Thanks Amy!! read more

Tuesday, 6-16-2026: We had lunch here after a medical appointment. The staff at the facility highly recommended BJ's, which was nearby. Parking is plentiful and it warmed this veteran's heart that there is a designated parking space in the very front of the restaurant honoring Purple Heart recipients. (I'm not one but I have the utmost respect for them) Bravo, BJ's. Thank you. There's a nice big fountain in front. This is one of the nicest BJ's we've ever seen. It's very expansive and has great architectural details like huge arched windows, wood beams, high ceilings, and brick walls. When we entered, Liza, the sweet hostess greeted us warmly and directed us to a booth. Our server was Amy, and she took great care of us. I ordered the soup & salad combo. Namely chicken tortilla soup & a regular salad with ranch dressing. My husband opted for the small personal pepperoni pizza. We shared the delectable, freshly baked Chocolate Chip Pizookie with vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed dining here and wouldn't hesitate to return. I took one star off because as gorgeous as the interior was, the restrooms needed a good scrub & some freshening up. read more

When: - Thursday dinner What: - Full rack baby back ribs - Special Pizookies Experience: - Thursday special of full rack baby back ribs for $24.99 was totally worth the deal. Back ribs were flavorful and tender. - Pizookies was tasty but very sweet. - Service was alright. It's unfortunate that kids food came much later than our baby back ribs. - It was loud but it's because many were at eatery for dinner while watching the World Cup game. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Special Pizookie for 250th Independence Day - Pizza Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

Had a great experience with ordering via app. I used to love their deep dish pizza. I ordered a half of the works/chicken bbq (kids fave). It wasn't as I remembered it, likely because take out isn't always the best representation of the meal as it took a good 20 min. To get home and the pizza isn't piping hot as usual. The wedge salad was okay. Reasonably priced Got my husband the Slow Roasted beef dip, came with fries. We got the pizookie deal 3.14 with a Shareable pizza for pi day! + an extra kids sized pizookie for the little. Service was great. Checked into the app when I arrived for curbside pickup. They were happy to get some a few sides of ranch for my pizza that I forgot to comment on the order. I love how you can gain points with your order and it looks like I have $10 off my next order! Update: I realize what I love about the BJs pizza--when it's reheated for leftovers. Husband air fried it out of the fridge and it was pristine! My love for BJs pizza is alive again!!! I think next time I'll try ordering it well done while dining in :) read more

Came out to have pie on pie day. Ordered a pizza and got to have an order of pizzokie for $3.14. The boys devoured the pizzokie in a blink of an eye. Our server was attentive and checked in with us on our order and food delivery. We had lots of order starting with wings, pizza, pasta, burger, and tri-tip with ribs. Got to watch some NCAA basketball games while we waited for our food. Since we were there early the place was pretty empty, by the time we left it was a busy for the lunch crowd. read more

When I ate at BJ'S I felt happiness. The food was good,decent porions and good service. I loved the vibe of this place and probably one of the best restaurants I've been too. The wait was actually not that bad and was only 10-15 minutes. Overall really good place and would recommend. I even downloaded the app and can get another free pizooke! read more

Picked up our daughter for lunch and we ended up at BJ's. Definitely did not disappoint on a Sunday. Parking was plentiful and clean. Establishment is bright, clean, and spacious. The hostess was friendly-enough. It didn't appear to be overly crowded but looked like they were filling out the backend of the restaurant as that was where we got seated. Eh. I ordered the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl, my daughter got the Chicken Burger w/side of fries, and my husband ordered BBQ Wings and Fries. I was pleasantly impressed with how everything tasted so good! The fries were seasoned so well, the bread bowl was toasted to perfection and went so well with the clam chowder. My daughter said her classic crispy chicken sandwich was also tasty and good. We couldn't leave without trying one of their "limited" famous pizookie - Butter Finger flavor. So good! Don't sleep on this place. This will definitely be on our food rotation! read more

Rating this based on it being a chain and compared to other BJ's. We got the $13 meal deal which is a great price and everything was tasty. Comes with a main dish, salad, & personal size pizzookie. The pizza, salads, fried chicken, and hamburgers all filled us up. For American style food and it being a Chain it's good, grub, and catch up with friends atmosphere. Staff is so friendly, relatable and caring. I rode down the aisle in a scooter ha ha and everyone around us eating had smiles on their faces. Good night out to relax. and hang with friends read more

Normally coming here the service isn't the best. But tonight we got Alexandria and she has been amazing! Tonight they have been short staffed, but that didn't stop her! She has been on top of it. Making sure not only our table, but all around her are taken care of. Great service from her! read more

We come here a lot, and seldom have an unpleasant experience. However, today was exceptional. The place was busy, but we were seated right away. Our server, Alina, was one of the best servers I've ever had! She made great suggestions, kept our glasses full, and was just an altogether pleasant person. She remembered that one of us likes lemon in our water and the other doesn't, and brought lemons when she filled our water. She took care of all of the little things that add up to a lovely dining experience, and she deserves way more than just an "atta boy!" I hope she gets it. read more

Alina was the best server ever. Respectful, helpful, and kind. As always food is good. $13.00 lunch special amazing. Thank you.

We did the BJ's $13 pizookie meal deal (we got 2). The burger was amazing the spaghetti wasn't too impressive but my kiddos liked it. The Oreo pizookie is amazing Definitely worth the price read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at BJ's in Laguna Hills today. I sat in my car for over 20 minutes trying to place a lunch order through the app. Every payment attempt was denied using multiple different cards, even though I've used the same app successfully at other BJ's locations with no issues. Following the app instructions, I called the restaurant for help. After sitting on hold for another 10 minutes, the call dropped. At that point I had already wasted over half an hour just trying to order lunch, so I finally walked inside and asked to speak with a manager. The manager, Oaf, listened to my explanation and responded very dismissively: "I just run a restaurant. I don't know about the technical stuff," and pointed me to the counter to place my order. No apology, no concern, no acknowledgment of the time wasted--just passed me off to someone else. Then after explaining the exact same issue again to the employee taking my order, his response was basically, "Oh yeah, the app doesn't work... just for future reference." If employees already know the app has issues at this location, why are customers expected to waste time trying to use it? Why not post a notice, update the app, offer alternatives, or at minimum apologize? I wasn't asking for a free meal. A simple "Sorry for the inconvenience," a small discount, or even "We're aware and working on it" would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, the complete lack of ownership and customer service turned what should have been a quick lunch into a frustrating experience. Maybe my expectations are higher since all the locations I go to or normally in San Diego. Today's lunch was definitely a bust. I've never had to throw my lunch out but today this mess will go off a cliff. OK, maybe a trashcan but believe me. I definitely wanna throw this experience and meal along with the customer service in the first trashcan I walked by. This location lost my business, and I'll stick to other BJ's locations moving forward. read more

A homie and I "sniffed in" here for the $13 special menu... Given the current heinous pricing of everything any legit deal is hard to pass up. Thankfully this proved tastier than Chili's lackluster deal meals. We ordered the SMASHBURGER w/fries and MINI PIZOOKIE meals. There were two (2) patties on each burger, and they were generous with the cheese versus Chili's who is cheap with the cheese. I believe because they are smashburgers you cannot choose "cook to order" (ex. medium-rare) but we did not ask anyway. I am not a big fan of smashburgers generally speaking as squeezing the juice out of a burger is sacrilegious in my world but in "health nut Cali" it is apparently -- "perfectly normal, perfectly healthy". There were a good amount of chopped lettuce and thousand island type sauce. The bun is a pretty nice quality buttery brioche thinner type bun. The fries were a modest but appropriate amount. None were crisp and they could benefit from some use of oil. The ranch dipping sauce helped. I went with the CHOCOLATE CHUNK MINI PIZOOKIE. Bear in mind, I am a multi-decade amateur baker and recipe creator. The cookie was nicely browned with small semi-sweet looking chocolate chunks in it. It was good and crisp in the pan. There was a good-sized scoop of French vanilla looking ice cream on top. For my palate both the ice cream and cookie were too sweet. They tasted pretty good, but the sugar stuck out more than the flavors which is counterintuitive. In hindsight, I was very glad the portion was small. I knew the caramel would be too sweet, so I did not even consider it. I will try the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE PIZOOKIE next time. SERVICE STAFF are great and the HOSTESSES are lovely. My buddy got the SALTED CARAMEL MINI PIZOOKIE and he liked his. But his tolerance for sweet is much higher than mine. The wear-and-tear on the restaurant is especially noticeable in the restrooms that should likely be torched completely and redone. But that is a legit undertaking. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant location a lot the $13 deal is awesome. However, they have messed up my order the last 3 times. The most recent could have sent me to the hospital. Please pay attention to the order modifications, if someone is replacing red sauce with alfredo do not give them red sauce. If I ask for ice cream frozen, why give me soup ice cream. Retail food service is simple comprehension. thanks read more

I was staying with my son, who lives in this area, and we felt like pizza.  He placed a to go order of Pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms; Boneless Wings (Hot Honey Buffalo and Lemon Pepper Sesame Dry Rub); Kid's meal - Fettuccine with chicken; and a Big Twist Pretzel with Beer Cheese.  The pizza and boneless wings were very good!  Unfortunately, the Pretzel was way overcooked and hard as a rock.  I managed to eat a few bites.  The beer cheese was sooo good!  He called BJ's and spoke with a manager.  He told her how horrible the pretzel was, and she kindly reimbursed him.  Next time, I'd like to eat at the restaurant so I can get a soft pretzel! read more

Skip this BJs! We love BJs but this place was such a disappointment. We ordered to-go: chicken Cesar salad, a kids pizza with mashed potatoes and a pazooki. Where do I start - the salad was just sad! Barely any chicken and they gave us the smallest dressing. The pizza was okay, the best thing of what we ordered was as the mashed potatoes. They messed up our pazooki and gave us the wrong ice cream which was so disappointing. Skip this location. So not worth it. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Chicken Cesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

BJ's off El Toro continues to prove why it's a reliable favorite. We were lucky enough to have London as our server and she was fantastic from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, genuinely kind, and full of great recommendations. She suggested the prime rib and she was absolutely right. The vibes inside were great as always. We started with the chicken gyoza, and they were really good. The pot stickers were flavorful and the crispy fried rice paper on top added a great texture that elevated the whole dish. A small detail that made a big difference. The prime rib was exactly as promised. Tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Comfort food done right. My friend ordered the Parmesan chicken with mashed potatoes, but she has Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and was unsure if the chicken was fully cooked. This is where the experience really stood out. London immediately involved her manager, Ulf, who was exceptional. He reassured us that the chicken was fully cooked and repeatedly offered to replace it if needed. We ultimately trusted him and declined the replacement. Even so, Ulf went above and beyond and later came back to let us know he had removed the dish from our bill entirely. That level of care left us with such a warm feeling about the entire experience. This was not my first time here, and it definitely will not be my last. Great food, amazing service, and a team that truly cares about their guests. read more

Been here multiple times and haven't been disappointed. Just look at that monkey bread and chocolate chip pizookie. Usually you have to wait to be seated which is typical. This bj's has plenty of seats inside and like a few benches outside to sit on. Service was alright. Sometimes it'd be hard to get a hold of a waiter, but it's usually crowded so I understand! Yum food though so it makes up for it. read more

There are two very distinct BJ experiences: - Pizookie Tuesdays - any day except Tuesday My review on my Tuesday visits are 2 stars. Everyone comes for the discounted Pizookies and it creates chaos. - restaurant is crowded and even though they appear to be fully staffed, the bottleneck is the kitchen - they use the same oven to make the pizookies and the pizzas / flatbreads. So what does that create? Long waits. And people in your party waiting for their food (which arrives cold) because they want to serve all the tables food at the same time. I no longer visit on Tuesdays Every other day: - I have always been satisfied with the servers / support in the restaurant - this location is near Laguna Woods, so an older clientele. The servers have always shown patience and helpfulness. - the kitchen tends to undercook meat. Medium often comes out rare. This is the same for steak and for burgers. I give the management credit for hiring / training their servers well. This place would be much better with a more consistent product coming out of the kitchen. read more

Sebastian was our server. He was wonderful! Food was great as usual. I had just been to eye dr next door and was in bit of pain so his kindness really made m e feel better! Thank you Sebastian read more

We had a party of 7 adults and 1 baby and we requested the patio. They sat us in 1 booth and we definitely didn't fit, but the hostess walked away. We had to go inside and ask someone to put an extra chair so that all of us could sit comfortably, which took a while so we were just standing around the table for a while. Our waiter was nice. We ordered the fish and chips which was crispy and well cooked. And we got the wings which were extremely salty and dry. Wouldn't recommend the wings. read more

Sunday lunch. Bar seating was available so no wait. Luke was our server and was friendly and attentive. My husband loved the bone-in lemon pepper chicken wings. We also loved the strawberry pazookie. We were really impressed by the weekend prime rib special, which was also tasty. Definitely a lot of food for a great price! We enjoyed our time here. read more

BJ's is always a great time especially for the pazookies!! I got the deep dish ziti and the Italian Chicken Parmigiana Pasta. The Italian pasta was okay and well cooked but the sauce was not my favorite personally. It tasted a bit watered down but with added oregano to try and maintain some taste to it. The deep dish ziti is in fact not ziti but instead penne noodles. Which is not that big of a deal but I probably would have gotten something else had I known this before. It was very good and flavorful, loved the sauce and amount of cheese used for the baked portion of the meal! Ambiance was very busy when we got there at around 6pm but a table for 2 only took about 5-10 minutes to get seated. I will be coming again and trying something else next time but overall it was an okay experience with the food and excellent experience with the service. read more

We went to have lunch today t BJ'S in Laguna Hills. To start off this is a filthy restaurant. The restrooms are the worst I have seen in OC. I received my dinner salad & couldn't believe how dirty the salad bowl was. When I showed the very immature manager, he seemed very unconcerned & said he would get me another one. My silverware also were quite questionable as well as the cleanliness, very sticky. Our waitress took our order, & that was the last we saw of her. Terrible service. My mother in law commented how very dirty the windows were. Don't recommend this restaurant, go anywhere else! read more

Horrible service , and the food not what the description says on the menu . The "Server" waiter is name Tye he has a tall pony tail very curly hair not very clean I must say .. very inpatient and somehow rude . I usually do tip very Good for a good service and good food . This restaurant is running on young adults with very little people skills and the server literally just gave no service at all . I only tipped 20% of my total bill for the other people that helped. Because the Server Tye did not earn it . There are so many restaurants around don't waste your time and money on this restaurant. read more

4/5 food, 10/5 service. We were sitting in the bar area and got amazing service from Kennedy. One of the dishes wasn't quite right and she took it back and took it off the bill with no questions. She made the night for us, super friendly and attentive even though it was quite busy. Our food was otherwise very good, drinks and atmosphere were great. 10/10 would come back and hope to get Kennedy again! read more

Service here today was nice, but really slow. We had a couple of questions about the meal at different times and it took a long time to get responses. At one point we agreed as a table to not ask any more questions because we just wanted to eat. But the person helping us was nice. Good was pretty good. I tried the seared ahi tuna salad and a side of fries. The sear on the tuna was great, and I liked the crust. I should have gotten the dressing on the side because they drenched the salad, and the taste was pretty sharp. I also tried my son's strawberry shortcake pizookie and that was pretty good! nice warm cookie on the bottom, ice cream, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. Yum. Prices weren't too bad. The meal ended up taking almost 2 hours which was just too long. It's pretty dark inside, so when we walked out, we were temporarily blinded. Good times. read more

A family friendly environment, consistent good food and service every time. Accurate wait times, the front of house team works quickly! Shout out to Matt, he helped us this last visit and was a rockstar! I like coming here for drinks and dinner, so we got a lot of beers, the deep dish chicken nachos, wings, and the burger. Matt kept the beers coming, amazing service! Never felt like we were forgotten ever. Nachos were good, they came with nacho cheese which most places don't do so I'll be getting that again. I frequently get the OG BJ buffalo wings, they're a good size, solid portion size cause I don't think I ever finish it after a couple beers, and fried well; 5/5 for the wings! read more
