Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Our service was slow. It took over 2 hours for our party of 4 to finish our dinner!

Food was meh. Tried BJ for the first time over at La Mesa as we were headed to a concert and it was date night. We were seated right away however, waitress showed up after about 5 min, then said will be back. Then waited probably another 5 to 10 minutes when she returned she already had 2 waters. We ordered the Calamari appetizer, the spaghetti with meatballs and jambalaya with a house salad. The Spaghetti was ok, looked like the meatballs have been in the warmer too long as it was very dry. The jambalaya was a bit better however, the rice didn't seem throughly cooked as there were bits of hardness in them, wife was only able to eat about 1/4 of the spaghetti plate, i ate about half of the jambalaya. We then ordered dessert and got the pizookie trio since it was date night. Got the strawberry shortcake, cookies and cream and the chocolate chunk. Now, literally, the dessert took a while before it got served, probably what seemed to be about 10-15 min, it was ok, but what was disappointing was the ice cream was already melted halfway through when we got it. It was literally runny that my wife did't enjoy it much. I mean, it didn't really ruin date night for us but, would we go back there, probably not as we felt that it was underwhelming specially when we paid over $100 including tip. As soon as we left, my wife literally said that we should've went to Olive Gardens instead.

Enjoyed lunch choosing the $13 weekday lunch menu. The Strawberry salad, burger and Chicken, bacon ranch Piadina were all very good. The Mac and cheese balls were tasty too according to the 10yr old. Everything came out quickly. Staff very friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was the Ginger beer was very weak but could be the brand they have on hand.

Made a reservation for a birthday dinner for 8 people for 6:30, we didn’t end up leaving until 9 after waiting an hour for food and 30 minutes for pizookies. Multiple plates were made incorrectly and we didn’t want to say anything out of fear of waiting additional time for corrections. Server was really nice about it but probably won’t be coming back

Really slow service, brought out my son’s meal 15 min after the rest of the table with no apology, and no ketchup. Salad served with no utensils
