Went out to celebrate my son's birthday. As expected about a 30 min wait on a Saturday night. Our server was very nice, even changed out my son's soup since he wasn't clear on his order. The prime rib special was excellent along with the pizza. I would recommend everyone to try BJ. My son had a blast and enjoyed his pizza.

Alan provided an exceptional dining experience! He was attentive, friendly, and consistently checked on me and my girlfriend to ensure we had everything we needed. His outstanding service truly made our visit feel like a five-star experience. Highly recommend asking for Alan if you’re looking for top-notch hospitality! I will definitely come back to this location due to Alan’s amazing service.

Today was super busy so we waited a bit to be seated. Kudos to Jayden who gave excellent customer service!👏 We had Flat Bread Pepperoni Pizza, Spaghetti & Meat Balls, Lemon Peppered Wings & Fries. Then we had Strawberry Shortcake Pizooki & Macadamia Pizooki which were both really good. The pictured drink is called Blue Rasberry Candy Crush & it was very good!

Was told it was going to be a 30 min wait as they were short on waiters. 30 mins turned to an hour. Felt rushed the whole time and I don't know but my food came out cold. Ordered two drinks and one of them came out nonalcohol which was disappointing. My friend ordered some wings that was undercooked too so we had that taken away. Overall, I'd have to pass on coming back for a while, if ever.

For a tuesday night, it was absolutely packed . Waited 15 minutes for a table. The server took a bit to get to us he was apologetic and said it was very unusual to be this busy and that late. The chicken parm was an incomplete dish and a mess when served . The French dip was a mess as well. The burnt ends burger was fantastic, as was my salad with the tuna. The server never brought the bread that should have come with the pasta dishes . As he promised . Other than that, the flavors were great. we also had the pork sliders as an appetizer, and they were fantastic. All n all not a bad experience. He seemed to be a bit understaffed. I felt kinda bad for the team . Everyone was working hard . I've been in their shoes on many occasions. It's not fun and service suffers . But on any given day I am sure they do amazing . Would definitely return.

The BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in Elk Grove is always very busy. I had my dinner here a few times and changed my mind a few times after finding a long wait if I didn't make a reservation. The restaurant is very good, especially for a big party. Everyone in my family will find some dishes they like. The prices are reasonable. The service is pretty good too!

The dining experience was amazing, extra kudos to the hosts there! I came in for lunch after seeing some pizooki deal on TV! I was going to ask my server, but as I was sat I was told about it by the host without even having to ask. She also made sure I was comfortable and okay with the booth I had. Will come back again!

We were amazed by Alan’s service. We have been served by him twice, he is the best server at that location. Always accommodates and asks us repeatedly if we are doing good. Will come again and hopefully he will serve us again.
