BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

The Sriracha bacon and chicken mac’n cheese was PHENOMENAL! Our server Keya was great! Great experience.

Our server Keya B. was phenomenal! So informative, and welcoming. The Deep Dish Ziti was delicious! We had such a great time!

This Bjs is usually busy because it is located right in the Arden Fair Mall. They are open until midnight.
Our friends wanted to stop by the bar for some drinks. The bar area was self seating. The service was a bit slow. We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza, guacamole with chips and calamari. The appetizer came out quick. The food is always delicious there. The pizza was good with the drinks.

I love to eat and have rarely disliked anything but the food was so bad I had to share this. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful and service was great. But this review is for the steak and veggies that came with the meal. It was a ribeye (their best steak available) that I ordered medium but it came out well done, dark, chewy, fatty and one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. The brussel sprouts were also extremely over cooked and I could barely look at them.
I love BJs but they need to pay closer attention to my meat next time.

Busy place since its at Arden mall. The staff was friendly and nice. The food was good and it is plenty for dinner. I thought the chicken pita tacos were good but ordered fries with them instead of what the usual side is.

Love BJ’s Brewhouse. Never pass an opportunity to grab a cold beer, and some excellent food, when I’m in the area. Never disappoint.

After coming to the Elk Grove, Natomas, and the Roseville locations, I decided to pay a visit to this national restaurant chain called, «BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse» at Arden Way. I usually come to that place for quite some times, and I’m likely satisfied for this effort! Located outside Arden Fair Mall, BJ’s has it all delivering their wonderful entrees, appetizers, drinks, and desserts to enjoy dining pleasures. The atmosphere and the concept remain the same as most BJ’s does. However, this place is quite smaller here despite the location which it attached to the mall, yet it does have some good, average space to dine in and heading to the bar side too.
The employees are doing a good job here despite the environment of how busy it is. I’m sure they need to re-​improved the customer service easier to make this place more reliable and motivated.
Now onto the food! On 7÷1÷2015, I decided to ordered a happy hour appetizer meal: the chicken pot stickers and a glass of BJ’s Blonde Ale. So far, the pot stickers tasted very good! The dippable sauce for the pot stickers did work the flavors too. The BJ’s Blonde also tasted not bad at all for this light beer! Very crisp and bold for that ale!
The next visit, on 1÷5÷2016, my father and I were visiting to the same place for an another try by redeeming their «Buy One, Get One (BOGO) Free» promotion offer during the lunch peek hours. We decided to ordered a Roasted Salmon Quinoa Bowl and a Lemon Thyme Chicken. As we ate it, the food is simply not bad. The Salmon Quinoa tasted good which it makes the seasoning very balanced. The Lemon Thyme Chicken is also tasted delicious too although it did add some salt a little bit as I continued to eat. I wish this plate needs to reduced the sodium content next time. Otherwise, it’s a good, fine meal for lunch!
There’s tons of parking spaces available right outside Arden Fair Mall, so you can park anywhere you want near or far.
All in all, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse at Arden Way is a good national restaurant chain that I really enjoyed dining here. I’ll come back for more to try their incredible food and drinks every season! A worthy visit! My rating: 3 ½ stars.

First time ever for this location with a friend.
My friend and I sat by the bar. Not the best place to sit at because 1. we felt neglected from our waiter, he only saw us 3 times. My friend had to flag down a different waitress.
We ordered 2 drinks. I forgot what my friend ordered but it had to with peach and I ordered the Royal soda Cream soda drink. I am sorry I forgot the name of the drinks we ordered but I remember both drinks were strong. That’s when we tried to flag down our waiter to bring us water and cream soda for it to help with how strong our drink was. It took quite awhile for him to come around but instead he never did so therefore that’s when we had to flag down the waitress, haha. It’s just disappointing to neglect your customers):
We also ordered chips and spinach artichoke dip which was good! The calamari we ordered wasn’t crispy at all, it was on the soft side but we are still thankful :) it was just a different texture in our mouth.
The pizookie we ordered was cookies n Crème! Wawow! So yummy, that’s my favorite flavor of pizookie from BJ’s.
I would definitely come back to dine in for the pizookies and their buffalo wings; their buffalo wings are good too.

Today was not so bad! Happy hour during the football games half price mini pizza and $ 1 off drinks! I was really happy everything came out quickly and correct! Way to redeem yourself.

Food and service here is pretty good. Ordered the Beet salad with my all time favorite avocado egg rolls. I believe in consistency and all the BJs I have been to in Sacramento are pretty consistent. Also tried the baked beignets which was very good! Not too sweet, but just right!

This particular BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is one of my favorite because it is pretty much attached to the Arden Fair Mall. I usually like to end my shopping with a nice meal from BJ’s, and I’ve made it kind of routine at this point.
Obviously, BJ’s is a chain restaurant. That ALONE will deter your average hipster from giving this place a visit but it’s really one the few chains I continue to visit, and for good reasons.
Their menu is extensive. I’m a fan of simpler menu’s, but I like that there is something for everyone (salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, steak, etc.) and they have really expanded on their enLIGHTened (healthier) menu options. The pizza here is pretty good, I really like that they have thin crust options and you can also «build your own» pizza. Their sandwiches are also yummy and I would suggest you get Wedge Cut Fries with any burger or sandwich because they are seriously a better choice. They have a large selection of Brews (hence the name) and I love that every season they have a variety of season-​inspired drinks.
Service. It can be hit or miss but for the most part it is average. Average as in attentive but not annoying, informative but not pushy. I’ve had both good and mediocre experiences with service but never a bad one, so I’d say that’s a plus. TIP: If the host or hostess seat you in a spot where you don’t want to sit, speak up, they usually have no problem with letting you sit where you want, and won’t give you that sarcastic «SURE» (that is a big PLUS, for me)
Ambiance– Casual. It can get loud but not bothersome.
The #1 reason I keep coming back: THOSE PZOOKIES!!. A warm delicious cookie of your choice topped with creamy Ice Cream? Delicious! My favorite Pzookies are the White Chocolate Macademia, or the original Chocolate Chip! Perfect way to end an exhausting shopping trip!

Came here for a quick lunch on a Monday. My friend and I sat at the bar and were greeted immediately.
Bj’s has good lunch specials! We both had the unlimited soup and salad. You can order any soup and salad at any given time with this deal. I had a bowl of their clam chowder, which was way too salty, and two of their Caesar salads, which was delicious! The greens tasted fresh, there was an abundance of Parmesan cheese, and the croutons were crunchy and well seasoned. I haven’t been this excited about a Caesar salad in a long time lol. My friend had the chicken tortilla soup and the tomato and mozzarella salad. She said the soup was lukewarm, but the salad was good.
Service was quick and efficient, and we were in and out! I would definitely come back for their lunch specials.

Awesome happy hour
Love the bartenders
Lemon drop are yummmyyy
Love the margarita pizza
Well I have to down grade
Bjz it use to be the place to go for happy hour but not anymore
No more $ 5 dollar mojitos or lemon drops
The place is empty now Is sad
Not hip and popping like before so sad

The burgers are off the chain. The skinny fries were delicious. Even the ice tea stayed filled up the whole time. The waitress was there at every turn. Even though it was super busy.
I think this is my first five star review.
Even when we first walked in the hostess told us a 20 minute wait. 5 minutes at the most. We will be back for sure.

5 ***Star***burger alert! Dam… I knew I was going to be happy to get one of these first class burgers in my mouth! My tastebuds and I are very happy we went with the classic burger with guac and french fried onions! Mmm… mmmmm…m! I am already plotting my next conquer for B. J’s.
So on to the shoestring fries… whoo hoo says my belly… Crisp, tasty and well seasoned! Ketchup was not even necessary for this splendid treat. The other option was thick wedged seasoned fries– I am confident either choice would not disappoint!
*The expected wait was 25 minutes… we were seated in 5… server was über attentive, our drinks were always full and no hard sales on apps or beverages. This was a great dining experience!

Been ages since my last BJ’s visit and I’m glad to find such a great branch right over at Arden Fair. Conveniently located, ample parking and even a nice outdoor patio area for warmer nights.
My girlfriend and I tried a number of items including the turkey burger and several new dishes I hadn’t seen before including brussies in sriracha cream sauce, stuffed mushrooms and sriracha dry-​rubbed chicken wings. All the proteins were surprisingly tender with no semblance of overcooking or dryness.
For drinks, I went with a red buffalo (50:50 mix of Jeremiah Red and Tatonka Stout) that turned out to be an awesome mix of creamy roastiness and hops.
So while BJ’s may be «just a chain» in the eyes of many, there’s no doubt that the slew of new dishes is delivering in terms of flavor, texture and value especially during HH. For a relaxing date night or casual get together with friends, this branch is on my short list for sure!

I always get suckered into coming here! Overpriced beer and ok food! The service is always prompt tho! The best thing about BJ’s are their pazookies! The food here is ok. Not bad but not good which is why I’m not a huge fan.

I’ve been to this BJ’s for a lot of meals, including last night for dinner! The staff is always very friendly here and the restaurant is clean. There’s usually only 2 of us, so we never have to wait long to be seated.
Last night, my boyfriend and I partook in the 2 for $ 25 deal. You get 2 salads (I got a wedge, him a house), a medium deep dish pizza, and a pizzokie for $ 25! Great value! They even let you half and half the pizza, so I got the Spicy Hawaiin Chicken and he got the Extreme Pepperoni. Both were great! For dessert: an original Pizzokie. Fantastic, as always.
This location also has a decent happy hour which extends to 7 instead of 5 or 6 like other places. They have good cheap eats and I recommend a $ 5.00 Strawberry Mohito to drink!

I pretty much frequent bjs for a regular cup of bowl of chicken tortilla soup or a jerry burst. You can usually walk right into the car section and sit faster than waiting for a regular table.
This particular occasion I didn’t feel well so I called in an order for curbside service. I specifically told the person (who rudely rushed me off the phone) that I was ordering for curbside service. Her said ok just call when you get here and hung up.
So I arrive and call. Just for them to tell me they no longer do that service at this time of night. The sign says they do it until 9pm. I called before 9 and was clear I required curbside. I even arrived before 9 and all. I didn’t have the energy to argue so I get out and get it…
My food wasn’t ready I stand there for 10mins waiting for someone to come back with my food literally holding back the urge to puke on their floor. I just wanted my soup and to get home but no.
The person in the phone should have listened to me and not rushed me off the phone. They should have told me I would have to get out the car I could have had my bf be prepared to get out the car. Ugh I was so disappointed
The soup is always good that’s the only plus

If you’re going to do happy hour, have the mini pizza. It’s worth the $ 6.00 you can choose any of the pizza toppings you want ! The other ‘tizers are sparse and not meant to fill a toddlers tummy.
The wait staff wasn’t overly happy. Hence the three stars, and the avocado egg rolls tasted like regurgitated food.
