My son and I were staying over the Desert Ridge JW Marriott and after a long day of swimming it was too late for many of the restaurants in the hotel plus everything at the hotel was so expensive. So we looked up spots in the Desert Ridge shopping center and BJs was still open and seemed decently priced compared to a couple of the other options. I hate the name but hey it had been a long time since i had been to one and it seemed the easiest since we were pretty tired. The place was packed but the dining area is really large so we were seated right away. We started looking through the menu to make our decision and there are so many options from apps to burgers and pizza -- probably other things but those are the items that caught my attention. The waiter came over right away to take our drink order --- I got a glass of Rose and my son got a chocolate milk, and two waters. It took a while for our drinks to come out so we were definitely ready to order when the waiter came back. I got a special "burrata pizza" personal size and my son got a bacon cheeseburger. It came out relatively quickly and the pizza was thick crust and actually pretty filling for basically two slices (that I cut into 4). My son was satisfied with his burger -- not the best he has ever had but did the trick. I do love that they have QR codes on each table so you can pay and bounce quickly -- which is exactly what we did! Overall it was a good spot -- not sure I would choose specifically to go to BJs with everything else out there -- but for what we needed that night it was perfect. read more

Lunch at BJ's after a baseball game turned out to be the perfect post-game spot. It was a laid-back spot to relax with friends, and we all ended up ordering the BJ's Brewhouse Bowl, which was definitely the right call. I went with shrimp, while my friends chose chicken, and every version at the table was a hit. The bowl is loaded with roasted cauliflower, quinoa, brown rice, black beans, corn, red pepper succotash, cucumber, pickled red onions, feta, guacamole, and Greek yogurt. It's one of those meals where every bite has a mix of textures and flavors, and somehow it all just works. Filling and delicious, we all pretty much cleaned our plates. Another friend switched things up and ordered the bone-in wings with BJ's Peppered BBQ sauce, and she was just as happy with her choice. Safe to say, I'll definitely be going back for that Brewhouse Bowl again. read more

Came in for the prime rib. I asked for an end piece and got it. It was so good. The service was great and the waitress was super friendly. The place was super crowded too. Be careful walking around especially near the bar. Not too sure why it's so greasy but man you could slip really easy. Overall a great experience. A party of five was in and out of there with in 45 mins and very satisfied. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Breweries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Always a positive experience with friendly service and good food. This visit we enjoyed a steak wedge salad, and my husband ordered the prime rib. We often order the Ahi appetizer. It is always fresh and we enjoy it very much. The Prime Rib was excellent. Cooked to perfection, tender and very little fat, so he was really happy! My salad was fresh and served with plenty of tender sirloin. One of my favorite "go to" meals. It's a very popular place so you might want to call ahead and get your name on the list during the dinner hours. read more

My sister was in town for her birthday, and for a casual, fun dinner, my family met up at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse at Desert Ridge. My father visits this location weekly, and every now and then, I'd join him for happy hour or dinner. We had a group of five of us at dinner this past Sunday. We all enjoyed tasty food including a birthday treat and good service. We had a great server (Brenda) who kept checking on us, answering questions, and when one of us randomly got an entree literally ten minutes before everyone else, she took it back to ensure we all got our meals around the same time. We ordered some salad and other appetizers along with entrees for each of us. Three of the five of us ordered the Enlightened Mediterranean Chicken Pita Tacos. I chose the chicken wings (bone-in) with sauce on the side. I also had a bit of my wife's pita taco dish. My father ordered a prime rib deal that included an appetizer and a Pizookie. Since it was my sister's birthday, they brought out two Pizookies (pizza cookies with ice cream on top) for us to share (Chocolate Chunk and Dubai Chocolate). All of the food was tasty and enjoyable!

I came to BJs with my family for my son's 5th birthday. I had not been here in a long time, I wanted to give them another try. I know the pizookie is a fan favorite. My son loves strawberries so I knew their strawberry shortcake would be his birthday dessert. We started with avocado eggs rolls, fried couscous mac and cheese balls and I ordered a starter caesar salad. I was a little turned off by the brown avocado in the egg rolls. They did not taste fresh. The mac and cheese balls were a hit. We enjoyed them. My lettuce in my salad wasn't very fresh either so I didn't end up eating much of it. For dinner, I ordered their atlantic salmon. I did enjoy this meal but the broccoli could use some seasoning. My husband got their slow roasted tri tip beef dip sandwich. He was not impressed, the bread was very soggy, his horseradish was missing and there were fries floating in his au jus. My oldest son ordered their classic rib eye. He is a steak lover but he kept saying there are a lot of chewy parts... meaning there was a lot of fat on the steak. The fries were good. My youngest son enjoyed his corn dogs and fries. For my son's birthday dessert we chose the strawberry shortcake pizookie. This was really yummy. We all liked it. Our server was kind and attentive. She did apologize about the long wait time for our food to come out. My salmon came out first even though I ordered after everyone else did. My kids were very hungry, the long wait time was hard for them. The manager did take off some menu items off our bill which we appreciated, thank you. I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold on wanting to eat dinner here again. I would maybe try their happy hour in the bar area and come for a pizookie. read more

I have been to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse many times over the years. Mostly in Houston. This was my first time visiting this location in Phoenix. I stopped by on a Tuesday for dinner. They share a parking lot with a lot of other businesses including other restaurants, bars, and stores. While the parking lot was busy, I was able to find a spot a ways down. Service (5/5): On this visit, I had the best service I've experienced. I wish I remembered our waiter's name as he did a fantastic job. He was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and consistent. Pretty much everything you would want in a waiter. A bit surprising as this isn't fine dining. He's just excellent at his job. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a hightop in the bar area. Pretty much your standard BJ's. A spacious restaurant that is broken down between a bar area and a sit-down area. It's a modern-looking restaurant and well-lit. Comfortable for a meal. Drinks (3.5/5): One of the things BJ's is known for is its beer brewed in-house (there's a nice selection). They also have a nice selection of cocktails. On this visit, I had a strawberry lemonade. It was delicious. Though a little overpriced for a non-alcoholic beverage. Food (4/5): BJ's has a huge menu. I'm talking one that closely resembles The Cheesecake Factory. It can lead to a paradox of choice. I've been here so many times that I know my way around the menu. I went with my favorite dish: the parmesan-crusted chicken which is served with a delectable sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I'm not a fan of broccoli so I replaced it with fries. It's a generous portion. You get two thin but large filets of chicken. And a generous heap of fries and a scoop of mashed potatoes. I took some of it home. A bit over-priced for a chain restaurant but it's a goodie. Another thing I like about BJ's is that they have daily specials and a great happy hour/reverse happy hour. They're also known for their Pizookie's (warm skillet chocolate chip cookies served with various additions and ice cream). If you're part of their rewards program, you will get a free on during your birthday month. All in all, BJ's is one of my favorite chain restaurants. read more

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - Parmesan crusted chicken with mashed potatoes and fries - Breweries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A completely serviceable meal. I got there just in time for their weekend special 3 course meal featuring salad, prime rib, two sides and a pizookie dessert. I had the wedge salad with blue cheese, medium rare prime rib with au jus and creamy horseradish sauce, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Everything was fine. The prime rib had quite the peppery exterior. Tasted fine but this cut had an usual amount of fat. Everything else was fine too. I chose the salted caramel pizookie. It was really good and despite my best efforts not to, I cleaned that plate. Service was completely fine too. Everything came in a timely manner. A solid 4. read more

I'm being a little generous with my stars. I won't be returning to this restaurant. I arrived at 9:30 pm on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant looked inviting and clean and seating was fast and comfortable. Then things went downhill. After waiting a long time the waitress, she finally came to my table saying, "No one told me to take care of you" and she apologized. I ordered their broccoli cheddar soup and a cheeseburger with fries. I'll get to the point. The food was good but everything was unreasonably cold!! Not even warm. The waitress never checked on me so I just finished my meal. The broccoli cheddar soup was very tasty and very disappointing being so cold. The burger was good, cooked right, and cold. The fries were over-seasoned and cold. The waitress had a nice personality and that upped my rating. I appreciated her assistance but wish she had checked on my meal. I noticed she was socializing with patrons at another table and not paying attention to me. The parking lot is huge and there was no problem finding a spot. read more

Came for the $13 meal deal (entree + pizookie). It was a slow Monday night. Not too busy. The server didn't seem very friendly idk if she was just having an off day or what. But the service was a decent wait, I wasn't starving so I didn't mind. My burger was really good! So were the fries. I had to ask for ketchup up because they don't leave a bottle on the table. The pizookies also were a MINI, when we were thinking they were personal sized, because that's what was advertised. The music they were playing was like old 2010's bops, and a bit of it was depressing and kept making me sad. Why y'all making me emotional while I eat my French fries!!!! Good meal, but would probably stick to Chilis 3/$10 as it's a better value than this with a mini pizookie. read more

Met the 'kids' and grandkid there for dinner on a Thursday evening. The waitress mentioned thier daily specials and one was half or whole rack of ribs. I opted for the whole rack as I could take leftovers home. The special comes with two sides, and I ordered Asparagus and Chile. IMHO forget the Aparagus, BUT not only was the chile good, it was almost enought to be a meal in itself! The ribs were VERY good and I have a smoker and do ribs myself. AND it came with Onion Rings to boot!!! Every one was happy with their meal! When I asked about two beers, the waitress brought a sample of both so I could decide myself! Will definitely be back! read more

Not happy the manager could not be bothered to respond to my email. Before I update my Google and Yelp reviews Hello, I am writing to share a concern about an experience I had at your restaurant last Monday. My husband, my MIL, and I have been loyal customers for over six years, having lunch every Monday. We have always enjoyed both the food and the service, which is why this situation stood out so firmly to me. When I arrived, I requested to be seated in Candace's section, as I have done about 100 plus times in the past. Right away, I was told, "The section is full unless you want to sit there at the high top." I explained to the hostess, Sue, that I could not sit at a high-top table because my elderly mother-in-law is unable to have her legs dangling comfortably. Sue responded that Candice's section was complete and offered no alternative. When I asked if we could wait, I was told in a rude and condescending tone that the section was full. At that point, there were several guests behind me, and we all looked at each other in disbelief at how the situation was handled. She couldn't care less that I was left standing there shocked. Was she having a bad day? Possibly. Was she annoyed that Candice has so many regulars? Could be. Whatever the reason it was wrong and I am quite annoyed by it. What was most upsetting was that I was left standing at the hostess stand for approximately six to seven minutes while Sue walked another couple to their table and did not return. Another staff member attempted to assist us during that time, but Sue then approached while that person was trying to help, seeming annoyed. I have never experienced this level of rudeness at your restaurant before, and it was both disappointing and uncomfortable. This visit left me feeling unwelcome, which is not something I have ever felt here previously, and it honestly made me question whether I want to return. I wanted to bring this to your attention directly in hopes that it can be addressed, as I genuinely value your restaurant and would like to continue dining there with the same positive experiences I've had in the past. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Addie read more

We came for pie zookie and we got pie zookie. My wife saw pie zookies and wanted to go for dessert. We got a sampler of the original chocolate chip, the caramel, and the cookies and cream. My wife also had an espresso martini she said was very good. Service was very good and the desserts hit the spot. Nothing crazy but warm cookies and ice cream are a pretty good combo to start with! Had just a sports bar vibe to it. read more

The price of the meal deals are really good but the service, not so good. Our server was really nice but it took forever to get anything. Maybe that's the kitchen?

With every visit the score keeps dropping. Prime Rib Friday huge disappointment. I guess the first time was a fluke. 2nd time was undercooked fatty mess. 3rd time was overcooked and had NO seasoning.

We went on a Monday for their happy hour specials. We were seated immediately and our waiter was very sweet. The happy hour is only at the bar but she accommodated us. The happy hour menu is not very clear and very confusing. We went with some drafts and margarita. I felt margarita was a little too sweet for my taste. For appetizers we went with nacho dips which were excellent, wings which I wouldn't recommend, it was kinda soggy. Also, Mondays they have half off deep dish pizza and we went with the vegetarian one. It was alright but too doughy for my taste. Overall the service is top notch but the food is mediocre and the drinks decent. read more

A regular favorite of mine. Service is usually friendly, right from the host stand to the busperson, and fast! Greeted with a smile and a cocktail napkin so your drink won't drip around the table! Love it! Great selection of Gluten Free Pizzas!! And a GF Pizzookie!!! We go there for desert regularly for the GF options! But the main draw is the numerous beers on tap! Whatever your palate calls for, there is a beer for that! The Hefeweizen is always satisfying. The Enlightened Ahi Salad is a perfect blend of salad and seafood. Just right! Another great option is the Atlantic Salmon. We always ask to have it medium rare so it won't be overcooked and dry. Have not been disappointed. For a restaurant with a large, and diverse, menu, the BJ's Classic Rib-Eye is always a pleaser! Worth having with another cold brew! Enojoy! read more

Was here again on Thanksgiving eve for happy hour. They also had boneless wings for 5 wings. The root beer glaze was interesting on paper, but didn't work well on the wings. Maybe combine root beer with Chipotle. The main course wasn't good at all. Cheddar cheese doesn't work on a philly and the meat was a bit chewy. Mashed potatoes were decent and one bartender was nice. read more

Ribs were not the same as many years. We all were very disappointed because they used to be fall off the bone and these were tough and couldn't bite off the meat . Not slow roasted by far. We asked if they were a different cut of ribs because they are advertised as baby back but seams like only back ribs. Manager said there was not changes but we definitely tasted a big difference. We are skeptical to trying again. Bj's please bring back original ribs. read more

I'm typically a fan of BJs, but I don't think I ordered things i liked this time ... I love their pizza, and I need to stick with that! If you've never been to BJs - it's like a cross between a brew pup restaurant and a bar type vibe. Fun place to dine with family. Service was great today and typically always is! We ordered : Wings - I actually liked that they were not fully doused in sauce. Spaghetti and meatballs- just ok in my opinion, but huge portion! That's always nice for leftovers! Burger - my daughter said it wasn't very good. read more

Our food was great. Our service was not very good. Asking for a glass of water from 3 different servers, being told "of course, right away " and having it take an actual 20 minutes is inexcusable. As far as ambiance, running a loop of a medical advertisement based on mental faculties and aging for over an hour is ridiculous. New manager time! read more

Dined: 11.26.23 We had the Philly cheesesteak (friend enjoyed), California chicken club (friend thought it could be a bit more flavorful), Parmesan crusted chicken (friend enjoyed and ate every bite). I had the jambalaya and while I'd like it to be more spicy, it was a hearty portion (all meals were) and full of Chicken & shrimp with some sausage. I enjoyed my dish and overall my company did too. We wrapped it up with a brownie pizookie which was just the right portion for 4 of us to share. Customer service was good and server was attentive. Will come back to try other things again! read more

Margarita flight, Flatbreads and Pizookies, oh my! I feel like I underestimated BJs. I've gone a couple of times, and it wasn't memorable... but it was when kids were younger and demanded more attention. We went recently again and I fell in love. Sitting on the patio, under an umbrella, while sipping a margarita flight, may have helped change my mind. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of alcohol in the margarita flight. So many times, these tour of flights are over sugary and diluted, but this was delicious. Everything each person ordered was so yummy that we passed all of our plates around to share. California club flatbread, bacon jam wings, couscous mac bites, honey Sriracha brussel sprouts, Ahi poke, garlic parmesan bread. Wow. All mouthwatering. Wait. I almost forgot. A Pizookie flight! I chose peanut butter, salted caramel, and white chocolate macadamia nut. But again, you couldn't choose wrong! Instagram: @msbusyblonde read more

It's been a long time, BJ's. Food was better than I remember. The prime rib was very tender and cooked perfect. Clam chowder was very good too. Rack of ribs were fall off the bone goodness and had delicious sticky bbq sauce. Each of the sides from mashed potatoes to quinoa brown rice that we tried were perfect compliment to the meal. Don't forget to leave room for their famous pizookies. We had their peanut butter with vanilla ice cream. Wonderful way to end the meal. Stacy, our waitress gave us excellent service; she deserves a raise. Enjoy! Highly highly recommend. read more

I went to bj's for first time last year. There rewards program through the app are not user friendly. However I went here like 3 times since 2024. The good is very good, recommend the pizza or burgers be good. I did try call corporate to get any issues resolved, but they ignored me unfortunately! Ambiance is good either way pro sports on television. I think they need more gluten friendly options especially for drinks like Moscow mules. Potato vodkas are best! I like pizzookie cookies, they are bit on pricey side. Happy hours could be extended like 3-7 pm allow more people to get off work, etc read more

The service is AMAZING if you sit down at the restaurant and the server takes your order. However if you order on the app, they disregrad all requests = for example I said sauce on the side and please add tomatoes. You would think that's simple but no - that was not printed on the ticket. So I doubt it's the kitchen's fault but it's a system flaw. I spoke to a manager before and he assured me he'll have the tickets updated but it's not updated and I am still getting the order wrong. read more

I decided to come to BJ's again after a few months to give it a try again went to the bathroom and it smelled so disgusting.

It smelled like a sewer or something was very wrong in that bathroom how disgusting to keep a bathroom that smells like that. I will never come here again. read more
