    Thank you Leih for your top-of-the -line service...attentive, kind, informative, and personable. Also good vibes in the restaurant and seating time was short. Pizza was filling, wings tasted great, unlimited soup and salad was nice, and the pizookie was yummy. The only bad thing was the mens bathroom was disgusting especially near the urinals. Looks like it kissed a few rounds of cleaning checks. Usually I would take at least one star for a disgusting bathroom but since our server was so great, I feel she made up for it. p.s. the Dubai chocolate pizookie was yummy, however the e edges were burnt on the edges of the cookie.

    FINALLY got to come to try a pizookie (and honestly got to try a loooott of everything else hahaha). I was running a little bit late, so I don't know what everyone ordered but " we basically got one of everything" so that sounded comprehensive. I always expected this place to be more mediocre quality because it's a chain - but I was pleasantly surprised that most of the food was pretty good (for a chain). combine with late hours BJ's is a super choice for late night munchies or post-concert grub. My favorite were the sliders, but honestly would get the appetizer spread again with friends. The Pazooki part, however, wasn't as stellar as my friends were hoping because allegedly the cookies and cream version wasn't as good. My take is that it was wayyyyy smaller than I expected (how it feels like to be a woman lol jk). I'd come back for the late night hours (especially with Chili's closing at 10pm) - so it's great to have this option in the Peninsula.

    Prime Rib Special

    While the food is fairly average here, BJ does offer decent value if you take advantage of the Happy Hour and Specials at the Bar. During Happy Hour, they offer reasonably priced drinks and food. Where else can you get a beer for $5 these days? While the $6 Margarita does seem like a steal, it's fairly weak in alcohol and tastes like a spiked lemonade so I would stick with the beers. As for food, a popular item is the Personal Pizza with Pepperoni for $7. We took advantage of the Friday and Weekend Special Prime Rib dinner for around $34 which in my opinion is a big enough meal to be shared with two people. The slice of prime rib is ok and is tender, albeit a little salty, and is not a terribly large slice; however, the special does come with a side salad, two additional sides, and a dessert choice which makes it a complete meal. I really enjoyed the garlic roasted vegetables. The fries were crispy and not limp. The cookie dessert was a huge portion with a BIG scoop of ice cream.

    A last hurrah before I really got to know ye - cheers! What matters most was our experience with the staff there - exceptional and awesome! "I got you!" he said, and no matter what happens to the mall or this restaurant, that will leave a positive lasting impression for the brand and the waiter if we see him elsewhere. We have been here over the decades for the famed, legendary pazookie and ice cream. We were still in high school too! It is famous for all ages. It is good to know they will survive somewhere. The deep dish pizzas were good, the burger was sizable and filling, and the appetizer sampler was super popular! Almost every table had the appetizer sampler. We tried their house-made soda too! Excellent! Ask the waiter about it.

    We had a birthday dinner at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse and had a great experience. We were seated immediately, and the service was excellent. Our waiter, Mark, was so kind and attentive -- he stayed on top of everything throughout the meal and made us feel very welcome. At the end of dinner, he surprised us with a birthday Pizookie, which was such a thoughtful touch. For food, we ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with mashed potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. We also had a cheeseburger, which was really good too. Overall, great food, great service, and a perfect spot for a birthday dinner.

    Erick T.

    The food here was rather disappointing, especially for the price. I ordered the cheeseburger, and it came with sad, limp lettuce, flavorless pickles, a rather tough meat patty, and overly greased bun. Even the fries were limp and rather tasteless. Our server was high energy, but everyone seemed rushed and parts of our order were forgotten.

    Why does a to go order take over 40 minutes? Why do I see customers getting food while I wait? Why is the explanation it's a shift change when the order was put in before?

    I don't have a ton of positive things to say about Tanforan these days but the BJ's here remains as solid as ever and a place of nostalgia for me dating back to college. The food is as good as it usually is, probably better than the BJ's local to me on the other side of the bay in Brentwood. I'm also glad that they still have that meal deal that includes the mini Pizookie at the end. As long as BJ's keeps that, they'll continue to consistently have my business. The salad with the mozzarella balls, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic dressing is just delicious. Probably my favorite light salad of all time. The chili is also hearty and solid. I just like it, man. If I wanted to whine about something, customer service can be more attentive. We found ourselves missing utensils or not having enough plates. Not a big deal, just saying. I also found it weird that the wait for a table in an empty restaurant was a half hour and when it was time to be seated, we were taken to a booth that very clearly wouldn't fit all of us. I'm not mad about it but the latter thing is just WEIRD, man. Especially when there are numerous other booths that are bigger and EMPTY. Use your eyes and common sense.

    Came here for dinner and the wait was way too long. The service seems lackluster and not really attentive. The food was average. This was a return visit and I don't plan on coming back sorry. The ambiance is as expected with tvs playing in the background and bar atmosphere.

    Best experience at this location last night because of our amazing waitress, Leia!!! She was not only super sweet from the start, very attentive, and made for the best happy hour I've had anywhere!! For a majority of the time we were there she seemed to be the only waitress tending tables, but she took it like a champ no matter how much stress she might've had! My friend and I sat in the open bar seating, the ambience was lively and the happy hour appetizers and drinks were great!! Thank you so much again for such an amazing evening Leia, you deserve all the flowers!!!

    As We Are In the Mode For Nachos & Pizza After A Work At SFO On Wednesday June 04,2025. We Decided To Dine At BJ's In Tanforan Mall. As We Ordered Nachos, Thin Crust Pizza And A Pinacollada Drink The Food Was In Good Portions, The Service Of The Staff Was Great And the Ambiance Was Super Nice. Highly Recommended Specially For Families

    Brewhouse sampler
    Melissa A.

    Came here for Dinner cause our main purpose was to have dessert, the Spookie Pizookie (Halloween) after our meal. Started off w/apps the Brew house sampler, which was delicious. (FYI, its only available for a limited time, I soo recommend!) It consists of wings (regular or boneless) & choices of Buffalo&BBQ, i chose regular Buffalo. It also includes mozzarella sticks, sliders and chips & dip, i chose spinach artichoke (guac was also a choice). But it was weird cause our apps & my daughters main course, Peanut Soba noodles arrived at the sametime. Unfortunately my order of Spaghetti & meatballs didn't come yet. My daughter didn't want to eat her meal till I received mine but I told her to eat while its still hot. It took almost 30 minutes for my waiter to acknowledge me about my order not being ready yet. Yes, I was upset. I was even more upset when he asked me if I still wanted my order! Bluntly, I said no cancel it! I was not happy with this visit. Yes, the charge of my main course was taken off, dessert was given for compensation. But today's service was not up to Par.

The only thing that was making us come back was their yummy food. BUT....... Unfortunately that has gone down hill the past 3 visits.
