My husband and I stopped by the Zara in the Glendale mall. We were a bit hungry but nothing seemed appealing at the food court. We decided to walk to BJ’s it was our lucky day. We were served by Joseph who was amazing & very nice. We had a lunch deal which was BJ's "$13 Pizookie Meal Deal" that includes a personal deep-dish pizza with a house salad for $13, available Monday-Friday we got the caramel Pizookie with chocolate chips on top. It was delicious

This is our go-to spot whenever we’re in town visiting family. The staff is always so bubbly, fun, and genuinely kind. it really sets this place apart. Big shout-out to the manager and our waitress (I’m terrible with names, sorry!). The manager was wearing green, and our waitress had rimless glasses with light purple glitter blush — they were both amazing and made our visit even better. See ya soon.

Diamond our waitress- was super charming, quick to deliver our drinks and food, and service was great! Plus, she knew our Columbo TV trivia. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Also, everything we ordered was delicious!

I had a great experience at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse thanks to our waiter, Dany. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She checked in at the right times without being overbearing and gave great recommendations from the menu. Our drinks stayed full and the service was quick and professional. Her great attitude really made the visit even better.

Tanya was great. she was super sweet she thought ahead, and somehow she remembered me from the last time I was here which was easily 2 1/2 months ago and brought me my favorite sauce with three ranches, and then Realized I was missing a wing from my order, went back into the kitchen and brought me out a fresh wing, also gave us immediate refills before we even thought about what we wanted and napkins. Great service. she was super energetic, and definitely loves her job. I love to be served by people that love what they do, and Tonya is definitely that person.

Huge restaurant with lots of TVs showing different sports games and wide variety of food options that are all delicious. The appetizer sampler platter is great for sharing, and the ribs were big and flavorful. Service is great and the interior is clean.

Haven’t been to a BJ’s in a very long time but when I heard they revamped the pizza I had to go in and try it. I am glad I decided to go because everything was so yummy! The pizza was definitely better but it needed more cheese, hopefully the pizza we got was just a one off because if it had the right amount of cheese that would have been perfect! Our waitress Tanya was incredible! She was so friendly and attentive, I haven’t had service like this in a long time! Tanya recommended getting the avocado egg rolls and OMG they were delicious! She honestly made our experience so much better that we will actually keep going back and trying items on the menu!
