It might have been a sports night cause it was pretty loud. Other then that, it was alright. I don't think I'd go back, even if I was visiting Phoenix again. Just not my style of dinner. I like to hear my company rather then just seeing their lips move. But, like I said, it might have been some sort of sports even. If it wasn't than, even worst, it's just way too loud in there.
We just ordered a bunch of stuff, and did it family style. Leave it to the group of Asians in Phoenix to do it that way.
The pizza was pretty good, along with the Santa Fe Salad. My favorite was the Cajan pasta. The bread was pretty tough though, like break the teeth kind. GGgggrrrr!
Yes-its a chain
Yes-it has standards that are guided by the health department
Yes-I should always get beer and pizza
it will be like pulling teeth for me to come back to this location... i found a nice strand of blonde hair in my salad... yes a hair.. i'm asian and not dyed blonde.. it was not mine..
yes thats what i get for not getting beer and pizza... fail me.. but bigger fail kitchen @ bjs.

I love this BJ's, its literally walking distance from my house. Every single time I have been the workers are always very cordial. With a nice little variety of brewed beer, and good food always makes for a good time whther its a date or with friends.
For me the best dish is the Cajun Shrimp Pasta, which is the one of the best dishes ever.
Also if your a sports fan its another plus cause obviously they have tv's everuywhere showcasing games of whatever sport.
I just go for the beer (Jeriamiah Red to be specific) and pasta

First time eating for a friend's birthday. They kept giving us samples and drinks but who doesn't like free stuff anyway?
Waiters were extremely polite. I got to try different items on the menu, and all of them were delicious. Price is similar to that of TGIF, but the food is way better.
You can expect there to be a wait if you come in the evening or at night.

Have you ever stop by a gas station where you already know the bathroom is going to be disgusting and nasty but you really have to go so you just suck it up and go anyway.. then you feel pissed afterward?
That's exactly how I feel about West Covina BJ's.
I've been here before and the service was soooo bad. It doesn't matter if you're at the bar or the table. The servers are the worst of all. They even talk back to you.. may be i should've start my every sentences with "BRO.." so they can do their job right. They really don't give a crap. I had to drag my ass over there cus it was my good friend's birthday joint (It seems like everyone loves to go there for their birthday).
I think if i have to go back there again is to use their clean bathroom.. at least it's reliable not like the shitty ass servers.
This is our favorite BJ's in the land.
Happy Hour here is the best in town.
The food, the beer, and the ambiance is awesome. This is the former home of Safari Bar back in the days. Which in the 90's it was the place to go, especially on Thursday's to Voodoo Lounge being the best. BJ's has taken it to another level and kept that vibe alive.
I know first-hand that it is the place to hang out on minimum days, so if you want to know where your child's teacher is at, you now know where.
There is not one dish that will disappoint. The avocado rolls are a must as the Piranha Ale beer.
Portions are big enough to be shared.
Only con is that if you are looking for a quiet place, go somewhere else. The biggest con is the parking. It is very limited.
People thought this was:
used to like to hit this place on our drive out east; was good food & libations & service was alright.
FYI DO NOT GO on Saturday around noon; not busy so service is really bad. Walked out... 10 mins in bar waiting to be greeted. Servers all over socializing w/ fellow employees... walked to host stand & asked to be seated..This waiter gets us our drinks, drops menus & disappears... Finally we see him over @ the bar socializing w/ the bartend & wrestling w/ another employee. 1QUESTION: where is the manager?
Won't be back; the food & drink is not so good that I'll make my lunch a 2 hour experience. Too many other choices out there.
Maybe this restaurant cares nothing about non-peak hours b/c they're busy other times? dunno... too bad.
Everyone remember their first BJ's and this was mine, so this particular location is special to me. The 1st time I went here was about 8 years ago, and I fell in love with their their beer. I love the Piranha Pale Ale, Jeremiah Red, PM Porter, Tatonka Stout, Nutty Brewnette, and their seasonal Nit Wit.
I also love their Chicago style pizza, especially the BJ's Favorite, Mediterranean, Great White, Buffalo Chicken, and Spinach & Artichoke. If you're looking for an entree, try the Parmesan Crusted Chicken, which is my favorite dish.
Pizookie and beer is good, but make sure you're drinking the Porter, Stout, or the Brewnette.
PRO: Their draft beer, deep dish pizza, extensive menu.
CON: Always packed regardless of where I go (LA, OC, or IE).
BF's friend got a new surfboard on Saturday and he invited Dr. P over to take a look. Afterward they invited us to go out for a drink. We went to a bar in Covina and it was full. We tried to go to another bar across the street and it was full. So we settled for BJ's. Got there around 11pm and it was also full. Everybody was out drinking or what? We got our seat after a 10 minutes wait. So I guess recession means more alcohol sale?
BF ordered a beer. I had no idea what kind of beer is it. His friend's wife got a raspberry beer that cost $10! So expensive! I got a berry cider. It tasted like berry soda. Yum!
We got a Piranha Brewhouse Nachos to share. Tons of chili under the tortilla chips. The chili was made with Piranha Pale Ale and it was so good. Love the melted cheese, too.
BF's friends got the Bacon Cheeseburger Deep Dish Pizza. We didn't try it. But it looked great and smelled like cheeseburger.
They also got the Triple Chocolate Pizookie. I had a bite. Chocolate ice cream on top of the hot soft chocolate cookie (actually it tasted more like brownie). It was soooooo yummy!
I like the food at BJ's. Next time we're coming back to eat!
People thought this was:
I use to be alright with this place. Its chain food, so you can't expect too much. Yet, one night my boyfriend and I came in at a DEAD time, when there was about 10 other people in this huge restaurant. The waiter was nice, took our order and we NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN. We never got refills, he never gave us the check, and we had to bother a "runner" for our check, which I hate to do. Ugh, I won't come here again. No thanks. Oh and the hostesses are awful.
Of all the BJ's chain restaurants that exist. This is my favorite location. Food is ok. There's nothing I stick to. But it's their beer that's wonderful.
Anything from the Tatonka Stout to the PM Porter. Magnificent!
I went to BJ's on Father's Day at about 12:30ish, and was pleasantly surprised to be seated as soon as we got there. There were several empty tables, but that didn't make it any less noisy in there.
I ordered the Angus Pot Roast Sandwich, which was very generous in size.
Served on a toasted garlic cheese French roll and topped with white cheddar mashed potatoes and mushroom brown gravy. Also came
with oven roasted vegetables. It was delicious and very, very filling. The service was great, and I think my only complaint would be that the silverware had dried tidbits of food on it. I'm not sure if my setting was a fluke, but it's enough to make me consider taking my own silverware if I ever go again.
The only reason I am giving BJ's ONE STAR is because I couldn't leave ZERO STARS. I will NEVER spend my money in this dump ever again, and I don't miss an opportunity to tell anyone who will listen.
I went there with my family one evening, and we were seated by the front door. As soon as we sat down, I smelled CIGARETTE SMOKE billowing in from the "smoking area" AKA "right outside the front door". Some genius decided that ASHTRAYS right by the front door were a good idea, and the smokers take advantage of them IN A BIG WAY.
I summoned the MANAGER and voiced my displeasure with BREATHING CIGARETTE SMOKE with my meal, and asked him if there was anything he could do.
I was floored when he simply said "NO". He flatly refused to do ANYTHING about it, and basically told me that the smokers had a right to smoke.
I have never heard of a restaurant manager taking this position on ANY complaint by a paying customer. But I will tell you this...
I WILL NEVER SPEND MY MONEY in this place EVER AGAIN.
The food ain't bad, but you had better enjoy CIGARETTE SMOKE with your meal.
SKIP B.J.'s... TGI Fridays is just across the lot, and APPLE BEE'S is just down the freeway.
NON SMOKERS UNITE.

I've had no complaints about this place in my book, if its busy hey you wait, there's nothing the workers can do to speed up people eating..with no negative repercussions of course..
The beer is AWESOME, i've tried them all and i'm a fan of the tanaka stout and the blonde ale, really good.
The pizza is thick crusted, so prepare to hear a crunch when you reach the end, it's deep dish style from the looks of it.
Pizookie is pretty damned good, really cool to just show up have a small pizza and a pizookie with your loved one :)
Overall, nice place to go, try to avoid it during sport seasons as it will get really loud and packed!
People thought this was:
Maybe I'm okay with BJ's because I always go into a BJ's knowing that it's going to be some sort of clusterf*ck. More times than not, at least for moi, it's been better than worse. Hence, the 3 stars. There have been "those" times.
Tonight the wait was about 15 minutes. I can't believe the amount of people that just kept coming. What recession?
We decided to have a pitcher of Jerry Burst which is Jeremiah Red with Raspberry Cider. YUMMY! We started with a Fresh Basil with Italian Sausage appetizer pizza. I usually order that pizza for my meal it is so good.
Since we started with the pizza I decided to try something new. I tried their Angel Hair Toscana with grilled chicken. OMG! This was delish. It had sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, feta cheese, pine nuts, Roma tomatoes, and fresh basil.
My husband is always craving fish and chips so I told him he needed to just order the freakin' things already. He did and he was glad he did. He said that the batter was very good.
Overall, this experience was pleasant. Not too long of a wait, and the food was good.
I think this goes for BJ's restaurant & Brewhouse also. I usually meet the girls here for "girls night out" and love our heffies!!! We get chicken fingers, lettuce wraps and santa fe salad. We sit in the bar area since the wait is always long for the restaurant side.
I haven't tried anything else, parking is a pain. They do have a/c and it gets really packed on game nights.
People thought this was:
Hmm... Bj's I like there pizza with only Romen Tomatoes! Yummi in my tummy! I love this place but sometimes, it just gets really really packed! Very hard to get a drink. You get your good waiters/bartenders, and your bad. Some remember you order your Delirium. Others come back about 20 minutes later when you've already gotten 2 from the bar because they took so damn long.
I'm really not into there own brewed stuff but they have other choices that are great. There apps. are also great. We got really wasted here once after a quick trip to the canyons. We were already wasted when we got there so the partying continued! We had a pitcher each every round. It was horrible. : o But very fun.

BJ's has awesome Pazookie.
After the appetizers..we make an attempt to save room for that Pazookie...that's the size of a dinner plate...Totally awesome. This place is more for youngsters...and it's definitly a beer joint...however my drinking days are over...a long time ago...
There is ample parking in the Eastland shopping center and you will have a good time here.
I always come here for my Pazookie..
Well I'm not a huge fan of beer, and that's not because of my taste. I have an allergic reaction to most alcohols, but for some reason hard cider is not so severe. The Hard Cider at BJ's is pretty good, and if you are into beers, there's a wide selection. Pizzas are done Chicago style - not my favorite style being a Left Coaster but it's good bite. Pasta was above your average food chain restaurant It's a sports bar, so women beware if your date has the attention span of pigeon with shinny objects. Open late, till 1 AM I think, it's perfect for a late night craving.
But what I'm really writing this review for is what BJ"s has introduced me to: PAZOOKI. OMG twuuu wuuuv at last! Cookies as big as pizzas, topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream? And your choice between chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal & raisin, or massive overload on chocolate chip. Need I say more?
Go now, really!

I got take out from this BJ's a few months ago. This location gets horribly crowded, so thankfully we had ordered for take out.
Of course, I stood around and waited behind some people who thought it best to stand in front of the cash register like they were waiting for something, and the cash register staff were more than happy to look at me as a new comer and smile like I belonged in this line to nowhere just like everyone else.
In the end, I got my food and went home, and was pretty happy.
Personally, I feel like the Ontario location has a little more reasonable wait range than the West Covina location.
Recommendation: potato wedges seem better than french fries, and personally, I don't care for their meatballs (too much bell pepper.)
Oh! and their strawberry lemonade is GREAT.
If I had to be reborn, even this gay man, it better be at the bottom of a pitcher of Jeremiah Red. A bartender would be the doctor, anxiously tending over the draft as I am released into a large glass pitcher, just enough for four pints of beer. In this elixir of bliss, I arise, my hair dripping with the frothy head of this delicious brew being nursed by the waiter who will serve me to you. There you are, still a mouthful of avocado egg rolls and that sticky sweet sauce that is all over your chin. Yes I know, you want to lick every drop of the nectar out of my glass, but alas, you must be at least 21 to get in. Remember to bring your ID, a few close friends, and a belly ready to be filled with my juices baby.
(Next update I'll be reborn as a pizzokie.)

I've been her several times but the last visit was just terrible. It was my friend's birthday party and due to the number of guests we had our food buffet style.
First of all, I've never been fond of their pizza, I'm not saying its terrible but its definitely not great either. I don't mind chicago style pizza or deep dish but BJ's pizzas are pretty bland. They need to have more variety like CPK. So we had four different types of pizzas but the problem was they were slow to bring them out and when they did, only four at a time and because of our large numbers, half the group was eating while the rest was waiting for more pizza to come out. The alfredo pasta was worse than something you could have eaten from a microwave dinner of the same thing. Really tasteless and for me, I my pasta had lots of pasta that was stuck together and slighty harder than it should have been. The pizookie was fine, there's not too many ways you can ruin a desert as simple as that.
Service was also really bad. There's really no excuse... if they're under staffed then that's just bad management. Drinks took forever to come out. I was sitting down and eating for almost 20 minutes before my drink finally came. Didn't even bother to ask for ranch sauce or hot sauce for the pizzas cos I knew it would take forever.
It's a shame cos it was fun hanging out with friends for a birthday party but its too bad it took place on a night when BJs dropped the ball.
I like this place...really, I do. What I couldn't figure out was why the service was so slow at 11:00 a.m., which is when they open. Lucky for me, the baby wasn't that hungry yet so I didn't have to worry about the crankiness that comes with when he's starving. I was armed with crackers and juice just in case, anyway.
We must've waited about 15 minutes for our food after the server took our order. When our food did arrive, my son had the chicken tenders and happy face potatoes, which he really enjoyed. I had the BBQ chicken salad in the lunch-size, which is still pretty big. I could only eat 3/4ths of it. At least they don't skimp on the portions, so you totally get your money's worth.
I'll still come to BJ's because of the food and the atmosphere. The only area of improvement needed was the service. I could understand if it was super-busy, but it wasn't today and the servers were still slow in responding.
People thought this was:
Tried a raspberry beer... forgot the name of it... It was good but very sweet.
Ordered a combination plate with mozarella sticks, eggrolls, dips, chips and spinach cheese dip.. It was pretty good. Large enough to share with 3 or more people, if you are not too hungry.
Good atmosphere. Plenty of space at the bar....for happy hour and chatting with co-workers. Nice wooden decor. It's clean.
People thought this was:
Did someone say BJ??! I'd want go there right now! Hahaha
I've been coming here a lot during lunch time. This place get so pack during lunch time we just sit at the bar area order drinks and foods. Services is little slow, but they're very friendly waiter/waitress will do their best help you with the orders. Lunch menu is freaking awesome, order any dishes and come with $1 soup/salad. Scamp pasta's my favor dish, succulent shrimp with olive oil, butter, garlic, lemon juice and Roma tomatoes. Also my favor Harvest Hefeweizen beer with little lemon juice. Overall, BJ's great place hang out with friends and getting drunks going back work =).
This place is pretty cool. It's different from the other BJs I've gone to. This is more spacious, and has roomy booths. They designed in more of a sports bar, so there's t.v.s visible from every angle. Great for small get togethers. I'm not sure if they have an Happy Hour.
It's a lil' pricey. Not a place I'd go every weekend. But every once and awhile.
If you like Hefeweizen beer, this is the place to go.
This place was rocking on a Thursday night, they had a wait to get in. I like this store much better than the one in Arcadia. It has a very "Vegas" feeling to it. Food was great, and the beer was fresh and cold (I had the flight of samplers).
I always have at LEAST a decent time when I come here and always get a place at the bar. If there's no space available I just order the drinks first all whilst keeping an eye open for anybody heading out. Service can take a while but as soon as they spot you they'll head you're way.
The Hef is good and a pitcher serves up 4 glasses. The pizza is delicious! Nothing beats a simple pepperoni and mushroom. For the noobs - they'll ask you if you want tomatoes on that.
Great place to knock down some beers and chat it up. Mixed drinks and shots are made well too. A lot of Cal Poly comes here. Past 10 = 1/2 off mini pizza's and some other savings for appetizers and beers.

Short and quick: (1) service was horrible, (2) bj's favorite pizza was excellent!
People thought this was:
went here for lunch with some guys from work. Ordered the Cuban burger and it was very good. I would order it again. I didnt care for their thick cut fries. Good service also.
WOW....I didn't think they made places like this anymore.
There services is just amazing..............we had an issue with our table the manager made sure we got it in 30 minutes not an hour like others were getting, did I mention it was 7 of us in the party. We order the big appetizer platter that was sent to the wrong table, the manager came over and told us the problem and put the platter on the house for us. Just great....
The is also delicious, I usually order pasta and I did - the chardonay shrimp pasta. A white sauce with tomator and plump shrimps - yummy. Two of my friends order the pizzas and it looked delicious from there faces - I knew it was. Another two of my friends order the meat and it was a huge mountain of food. It was very good lookin' and the other two, one order a club sandwich and chicken with steamed vegetables. The waiter was so cool, he even brought one of my friends wedges on the house.
Of course we couldn't leave without trying the famous pazookie. We got half chocolate chip and the other half white macondamian nut and white chocolate chip with scoops of white vanille bean ice cream. It was good... we could have shared with more people, with only the seven of use we scapped the platter clean in a minute or two flat.
I think the beers are great though I didn't try any. Our waiter was gonna give the beer speech but we didn't drink but he seemed excited to give it so I assumed he stands behind the quality of the products.
You can't go wrong here.....

BJs is an all-around good brewery place to chill after work or just to eat some tasty pizza and grub. It's an all-American joint gourmet-ish bar food locale. It's one of the better restaurants in the area, right next to the mall and Eastland shopping center. Their pizzas are thick and tasty and their baked potatoes are truly the definition of "loaded."
Their sandwiches are pretty tasty as well, such as the crispy chicken, chicken salad and the roast beef dip sandwiches. Try out BJs man...you'll come back with more buds later on!
this ones gonna be short...
really bad service!
awesome bj's special pizza!
People thought this was:
I've been to this location probably three times and I always end up feeling like a crotchety old lady - it's too loud and there are too many young people. Bah.
It's a chain restaurant with your standard American food and fake brewery. Big ups for the Pazookie, but that's about it.
People thought this was:
BJs....who doesn't love BJs...Giggidy giggidy...I love it here...I don't get to get wasted like back in the day on J. Red beer...but I love the food. Start with the dip and usually roll with a pizza. The Pazookie is a must....ice cream on the side otherwise you'll get that soggy cereal effect....Good service and good times are to had here....If you haven't gone, make it an item on your to do list tomorrow....if you're single, you may just meet someone..it's usually packed all night long....
People thought this was:
Okay - the food here is pretty amazing...If it weren't for the fact that it is convenient, close, and relatively inexpensive, I wouldn't be eating here. Again and again, the customer service has been sub-par. If you don't mind asking four times for a refill, two times for ketchup, three times for the check, and after asking time-and-time again getting no response then BJ's is a recommended restaurant. This is not an isolated instance either. 4 out of 5 times that I eat here the service is horrible. On top of that the management doesn't seem to see customer service as a priority. I am not one to complain to anyone else without notifying the management of what I am telling you. They just don't care! You have to ask them numerous times to get a refill as well.
** this is mostly about the service**
I went to BJs for a friends bday. We had a party of 8, so you know that means 18% tip easily for the servers. I have been to BJs when my party has been 15 and we had excellent service. But man this time for only 8 the service was bust!
So I order a pitcher of cider, the waitress wont let me order for one person. I dont want to sound like an alcoholic but really for friggin cider??? Get over yourself BJs. So my friend chipped in sayin it was goin to be shared. The waitress comes back with the pitcher and glasses. I hold the glass and its prickly and dirty. I tell the waitess the glasses were dirty and if we can get another pair. She gives me this lame excuse about they are just scratched. WTF??? I see food particles stickin to the glass what kind of scratch is that missy? So she hesitantly grabs another pair. I tried to ignore her attitude the whole night. They even try to bum rush us while we were still eatin. Picking up and waiting for us to pay the bill. Hey bjs dont rush mexicans we will take our sweet beaner time.
BJs you are lame as can be.

I like the food and drinks at BJ's (the deep-dish pizzas, giant potatoes, chili, Lambic Frambois beer, their house beers, all the appetizers - all good stuff). But this location always makes me feel trashy. I've come with old high school friends when I'm home visiting my parents to grab a drink, and after 5 minutes of hanging out at the bar I can't believe I came from this city.
You know when you go to a (usually chain) restaurant and almost everyone in there is really fat and then you are thinking "am i really fat too? I eat the same food, so i must be fat!"? That's how you'll feel after coming here.
3 stars for bring Belgian ales to West Covina. Still a good place to grab a drink with friends before heading further west on the 10.

first time there was a lunch trip for some food and the famously known pazooki that wilson and his friends talked about. I wanted to experience it for my own since i have a sweet tooth. i had fettuccini alfredo and it was pretty good. I've also been there during happy hour and had some of their special pizzas, not bad and pretty good prize, affordable for us college students.
so my first time there wilson, his friends and i ordered pazooki party platter. WONDERFUL!! its a must if you have a sweet tooth. its a huge giant cookie, still warm from the oven with ice cream and whipped cream on top. i have also had the cookies n cream pazookie, probably my favorite. so if you into bjs for lunch or dinner, just remember, there is always room for dessert and order a pazookie, it will make you happy.
service has always been pretty decent there. decent waiting time and pretty friendly.
