BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

I had such a great experience at BJ’s Restaurant! The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The menu has so many options, from deep dish pizza to burgers and pastas, so there’s something for everyone. The service was excellent—our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we always had what we needed without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, making it perfect for both family dinners and a night out with friends.

Why you should go: really good food, the menu has something for everyone. Service is top shelf; right when we walked in, we were welcomed at the host station and seated immediately. Also a very attentive wait staff. Alexis is the best!! She was very prompt coming to take our order, greeted us with a smile, and was knowledgeable on the food selections from the menu. She was very courteous, and let us look over the menu before we ordered. My friend and I have been to BJ,s before, always consistent, from every aspect of the lunch experience. They have a great beer selection, full bar, and wine. We ordered appetizers/starters which were a sampler type plate(very good), see the pics. And the shrimp dish. I highly recommend visiting and eating at BJ's in Desert Ridge.

Food and service were amazing! One of the things I love most is the consistency of both food and service. Clam chowder in the sourdough bread bowl was flavorful, chunky, and the bread was crunchy and also full of flavor. I am used to homemade sourdough and this competed. Food was so good, I forgot to take pictures. Hubby ate the pazookie so fast, I couldn't get a picture.

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!

We had the boneless & bone in wings. Both were excellent. The pickle fries and dipping sauce was on point. The cherry glazed salmon was cooked to perfection. The drinks are well made from the bar.

Pork chop was thick, deliciously seasoned, cooked to perfection… had the asparagus and mashed potatoes. I think the mashed potatoes are from a box. The mashed potatoes tasted like Kentucky fried chickens, which are have a box. My salad was very delicious and dessert was pretty darn good too. Our waitress was extremely attentive and prompt with everything.

Had a lot of buddies say they loved it, so me and my lady decided to check it out recently. I can say the food was great i got a ribeye w loaded mashed potatoes and Mac, while my girl got surf n turn steak n shrimp. The Mac was definitely not a fan favorite between us i wouldn’t recommend that. But everything else was amazing. Also do not skip out on the dessert, cookies and cream pizookie was TOP TIER. Service was amazing and very attentive. Will definitely be coming back soon!

The ahi tuna salad is my favorite. My wife said the smores pizuki was the best dessert ever! Brighton was absolutely wonderful!

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.

The last few times I've gone the wait is an hour. We left for a different venue. Love the food, when I can get it. The hostesses were very polite.

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.

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.

I took my family out to BJ's today for what was meant to be a nice dinner treat. Unfortunately, our experience fell far below expectations. I've enjoyed BJ's in the past, but the quality we experienced this time was concerning--both in terms of taste and especially food safety. Several items were served at room temperature, including meats and soup that should have been hot and fresh, as advertised. Food safety is extremely important to me, particularly when I'm bringing my family out to eat, and this visit made me question whether proper standards are being followed. For a bill totaling around $80, we expected a meal that reflected care, freshness, and basic quality control. What's disappointing is that these issues are preventable. High-quality food and consistent service are what bring customers back--not just alcoholic beverages and desserts. When a restaurant invests in well-trained staff and maintains strict oversight on the food they are serving, the positive word-of-mouth follows naturally. If anyone from upper management or corporate reviews this, I genuinely hope you take a closer look at the quality and temperature control of the dishes leaving the kitchen at this location. Many families, including mine, don't dine out often, so when we do choose to treat ourselves, the experience matters. Today's visit left us disappointed, and I hope improvements can be made so other guests don't walk away feeling the same.

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.

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? Idk but we left without getting our to-go soups because we had to go and had already asked a few times. Food is average, what you would expect. Meal deal is where it's at!

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!

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.

We had BJs catered at work today. I really enjoyed their little mini sliders and homemade chips. The slider I liked had smoked ham, swiss cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce and garlic aioli.

I couldn't ask for a better Football Sunday ie;CHIEFS on the big screen with sound! Great service ie; Breiton, great food, great atmosphere and a special Thank You to Management for making my day GREAT

5 stars for our bartender Andrew! He was on top of it and super friendly. Food was delish. You HAVE to get the tomato and mozzarella salad!

Stopped in for lunch- you can't go wrong with BJs! They had an amazing lunch deal: entree + a mini pizookie for only $13!! So nice to see good deals still happening in this crazy economy lol. Jayce M was wonderful and very attentive and nice! Great food and service

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. Tasted like chewing on a shoe. Winner was the tater from the whole meal. Will come back again, but will stick to simpler menu options.

Our server was rlly good. The cookies and crème pizookie was really delicious. House salad and caesar salad were average. The bone in wings were disappointing I felt they were undercooked and kinda gross. I definitely would not order those. The beers were good. I enjoyed the creamsicle local beer.

Macy was forgetful and pushy for upselling. overpriced cafeteria food This BJ's is a huge letdown. The inside is your average BJ's, which is not an issue; just nothing special. Darker lighting and tv's everywhere. The hostess team were friendly and quick to seat us. Our server was Macy. If sales were her job, shed be great! Every time she was at our table she was sure to hit us with upsells. The way she words things is a bit sneaky to me, which upset me once the bill arrived. For nachos she said, "which mean would you like?" instead of something lie, "would you like to add meat?" The former to me indicated a meat is included, as opposed to the latter, which is clearly stating meat is extra. I understand I could have checked the menu for clarification, however, still sneaky to me. Macy was also the kind of server who gets a few things done, then forgets about the table, unless it was time to upsell for maybe a dessert?! Very annoying, especially when she forgets to bring items when asked multiple times. For the food, super underwhelming. BJ's has turned into overpriced cafeteria food. The BBQ chicken pizza felt like it was microwaved chicken breast with a microwaved pizza crust. The tri-tip on the nachos felt like they bought Jack Links jerky bits and sprinkled it on the nachos.

Food here was great. My wife got the Parmesan crusted chicken and her friend got the burger. I got the prime rib meal. The prime rib was delicious and cooked perfectly. Came with a salad, 2 sides and a dessert!!! Service was also really good. Waitress was really nice along with the others that were helping her!

Nicole L. Was our server tonight and did such a great job! Never had an empty glass and was just all around a great server! Made our night! Oh and the pizza was amazing. 5 stars

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!

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.

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.

The food was great! We ordered chicken potstickers, sally fields strawberry salad and chicken bacon ranch piadina. Our server was very friendly and gave us several suggestions. She was on top of refills and checked on us regularly. It was a good dining experience!

I usually just get the pizookies here and they're always rly good. The food here is okay. Service is always fast and restaurant is usually busy with lots of customers.

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

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.

It's understandable to be frustrated when you're told there's a 30-40 minute wait, only to see other parties of similar size seated before you. But that's not my main concern. The hostess tonight was snarky and unwelcoming. When we were finally seated, my pregnancy belly didn't fit comfortably in the booth. I politely asked if we could be moved to a table, but was told they couldn't accommodate us because I hadn't requested one in advance. I hadn't realized how small the booths were, and the hostess never asked about seating preferences. Overall, the staff just wasn't kind or accommodating. They wouldn't provide an updated wait time or help us find a more suitable table. Very disappointing.

They just stopped doing NFL games at BJs which is horrible. They will only show major network games nothing on NFL network or peacock or Amazon. Happy Hour stopped at 6 now instead of 7! Horrible management decision and you will lose me and other freqent guests. You need to listen to the leople who pay you money to eat and relax. Staff at bar is amazing ! Amber and Brandon are awesome and so friendly and attentive!

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!

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

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.

We were staying in town and went to this BJ's for dinner. Brittany was our amazing server. We went with her suggestion for the prime rib sandwiches and baked potatoes. So good. She was so efficient and polite. I had to give her props.

Excellent service, excellent service. Large portions very well prepared food. I had the chicken tortilla soup and tomato mozzarella salad... outstanding!

I have been to the BJ's many times over the years and they never disappoint. Whether going for a family dinner or drinks with friends, it has always been a great dining experience. It has an extensive menu which ensures there is something for everyone! I had the salmon with rice and broccoli that was cooked to perfection. Others in our party had the jambalaya which they said was spicy, but very good. My daughter had the veggie burger which she enjoyed and two others in our group split a deep dish pizza. The food was so good and the portions were generous, so no one had room for the Pazooki's. We have had them in the past, and they are delicious. They even have a gluten-free option! The service was very good. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing. The restaurant was crowded, it usually is when we go there. But we had a reservation and were seated immediately. It was a little bit noisy, but we were still able to carry on conversation and hear each other.

My daughter in law and my granddaughter and myself had lunch here today. What a let down. I had the bacon guacamole burger with fries. The burger and fries were cold not even warm! I didn't want to send it back because we had other places to go. What a total disappointment. Lunch for three for over $100.00 and way below standard service!

Melissa is a great bartender ! Food and service amazing ! You are lucky to have her as your employee!

We ordered takeout on a Monday night. We had pepperoni pizza, veggie pizza, and chicken tenders. The chicken was okay but the pizza was terrible. I wouldn't recommend. Very thin, didn't taste good, and looked terrible.

Jayce is fabulous! We needed to personalize our orders and he was so patient, cordial and efficient. We are regulars in the bar area and will ask for Jayce's table if possible. We both had Brewhouse Power Bowls with Salmon. Jayce is an asset!!! Shawn and Pam.

Ugly services. Closes at wrong time Never return. Refused to sit at time set ......needs adjust

1st time for me. Hannah was our server. We had the poke, Brussel sprouts. Pot stickers, for our appetizers. We had the brisket burger, wings and French dip for entrees. Everything was great, French dip was just ok. Dissert we had a trio of brownie, chocolate chip cookie and strawberry shortcake, all 3 were amazing. Hannah was incredible. I really enjoyed my visit here and hope to be back soon.

Honestly downloaded this app to give a little shoutout to Justin. He is hustlin' he is kind he really made me and my dates night. Food was perfect and the vibes were perfect. Great job Justin! We see you!

Just left from here and it was ok. I ordered a Santa Fe salad and all my avacado Pieces were black very disappointing. Ordered a strawberry mojito and it was bad had to give it back and ordered a regular mojito and that wasn't that great had better. Asian salad was good the beef brisket burger was good but not a lot of fries. Kicking chicken sandwich was good and that came with a good amount of fries.

Although our dinner didn't go as planned with dishes breaking and us ordering a dish we couldn't eat our waitress was absolutely amazing. Laura C made sure we were okay after dishes broke around us and was able to move us somewhere where we would be more comfortable and was able to help us with our messed up dish. She made the environment feel extremely welcoming and checked in on us as much as necessary. I hope everyone has a Laura as their waitress!!! So so sweet :)

The restaurant was jampacked upon arrival. We were immediately greeted by a lovely waitress. There were a few hiccups throughout the evening with the food however, there was a good recovery. One of the soups ordered was not hot, and another entrée was wrongly entered into the computer system, which caused a tremendous delay in the delivery of it.. however one of the restaurant managers was kind enough to comp an item, and offer desserts for the entire table which was a remarkable gesture of good faith. The menu is huge and offer something for everyone. It was a lovely evening in the company of good friends. I just wish the waitress hadn't been so pushy and trying to to upsell throughout the evening. I know she was trying to do her job the best she could, but I find this tactic, exhausting and unnecessary.

My family, friends, and I come to this location a lot as we love the food and the service is usually wonderful! This past experience we had was unfortunately, extremely poor. The waitress was rude and rushed. She immediately took our order which was considerate, seeing there was a larger party ahead of us ready to order. However, when ordering she was almost impolite in assuming we knew everything about the menu. Sorry sometimes things are confusing and there are different specials or deals we like to know about. Then the food came. The food is great I love eating here. Yet, no refills on drinks. My friend asked for a refill of soda, which he got, but no refill on water until we asked. Again can't assume that refills on water are necessary, but we are less than halfway with the meal with two empty waters. Then, as we still have half the meal left, the waitress runs over and asks if we were ready for pizookies. She didn't even ask us how our food was, what else we needed... nothing. Just rushed us on to dessert. Then we move onto the desserts. We got three pizookies, as each of us got one with the meal. Again, food is great I love the October special Spooky Pizookie. We then are just talking with the dessert in front of us and this waitress grabs all three without asking if we were done. We had two half eaten ones and says have a good night. Not sure if she was having a bad day, just busy, or has a bias against younger people, but honestly doesn't give the right to treat a table so poorly. Everyone else around us seemed to be getting refills and a whole conversation with her and we were barely checked on. I never write bad reviews and I hate to write it on a restaurant I truly love, but honestly this was probably the worst service I have ever received anywhere. All three of us have been in the service industry since we were 16 years old and we were just so shocked with the disrespect and horrible service. Don't mean to be rude and I still love the food, but maybe a discussion on bias of tables should be explored throughout your restaurant.

Food is okay, nothing special. I do like their Strawberry Lemonade! Service is slow. For some reason, BJ's is packed on Monday nights?? We've been twice on a Monday night and it's always popping. We like that they have their own beers, make their own sodas, etc.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!! Has the Strawberry Salad and my son had a Club. Very good food and service.

Good hamburger. Better service this time. I like being able to put your name on the waitlist before you arrive. I also liked being able to get a side of asparagus instead of fries! The burger was cooked well.

The food was ok and the service from our server was great... however I had a $100 gc and they couldnt help me make it work even showing it all was clear , the problem was the manager never ever came to speak to me about it .. the poor server was left to try and deal with it and wasn't getting any support.. so if you ever go to this location and use a gc be prepared to pay with a different type of payment considering Jon the manager is obviously too busy to deal with handling it , but it not checking on the kitchen since I couldn't even eat my salad due to the brown lettuce... Every time we try BJ again we are reminded why we don't eat here!

Wonderful and diverse menu, tasty preparations, and outstanding service. Great for groups, great happy hour!
