    The bar area is the easiest and fastest place to get seated. We love coming on Wine Tuesdays because we can order a bottle of wine half price! Good food and great service always!

    Came in for a business meeting. Food and service were great. We opted to just do happy hour appetizers. Happy with the choices. Good house blonde beers. Sliders were really good and a great price during happy hour. Really a good chain restaurant!

    Great place to take friends or family to. We came for the pizookie which is hot and generously stacked. But the food is amazing too! The pizzas are made to order and loaded with toppings. The burgers juicy and the sauces/marinades give a wonderful kick. I had the bison burger and the sauce really made this the best bison I have had so far. The weekend prime rib (we ordered rare) is tender and juicy from edge to edge, comes with a full size salad or soup, and a pizookie!

    Love the variety of food choices here, and everything so far has been delicious. It's usually pretty packed but we were seated pretty quickly this time.

    The food was quite nice but the service…? We ordered curbside and we asked for napkins and utensils. They deliberately didn’t give us any utensils or napkins but they “cooked” our food in like 5 minutes. The food was okay. It’s a bit overpriced but okay. The girl behind the desk in curbside was a bit rude and rolled her eyes as she was approaching our vehicle. I didn’t get welcoming vibes from her. The outside of the restaurant was clean and so was the inside. It was pretty crowded for a Monday evening.

    I'm not a big fan of rating places bad,but this is average overpriced place. I Would give one star,but the lady who is hostess deserves this extra star for herself. Very kind and hospitable,everyone else including food,lower than average. Won't be back

    We went on a Thursday night around 6:30, it was pretty busy. We were quoted 20 min wait but only waited about 5 min. We were seated in a booth in the bar area. Our server was polite and friendly. After ordering, we waited about 15 min for our entrees. Unfortunately my pizza crust was underdone and pizza was cold, and my daughters burger was wrong. We waited 15 min for a replacement. The burger was too charred to enjoy. We had the tortilla soup and clam chowder that were both very salty. Even the white chocolate Pazuki was underdone. Not how we wanted to spend our birthday celebration.

    This place was friendly. The waiter was good and patient with us. I ordered a chicken sandwich with a side of fries and Cole slaw. The sandwich was great, I recommend it to anyone. The fries were tasty and crispy. For me, the cole slaw didn't have quite enough mayonnaise, but that's just me I guess. Concluding, the food was great, the price wasn't bad, and the service was friendly.

    It's been a while since the last time I've visited this place, so I didn't know what to expect. The wait time for dinner service was pleasantly short, and our waitress had attended to us almost immediately. Regarding the food, the portion was what I would describe as "save room for desert" sized, and I couldn't help but notice that Deep Dish Ziti I ordered had a pool of oil settled on the bottom of the dish it was served in. Other than that, the food surely tasted great.

    The service was horrible. It took about 15 min for a server to come and ask what we wanted to drink . Then that server never came back. Another server came and brought our drink s coffee and a margarita. They didn't even bring the sugar or creamer until a manager saw I was looking around for someone. Then a 3rd service finally came to take our order. When my salad was brought I didn't have any utensils to eat it with. I asked and they kept forgetting to bring it. Until I finally got mad and they brought it out with the rest of the cold food. In all this time I was watching and the young servers were just talking amongst themselves and to top it off it wasn't even busy. I will never go there again.

    Made a reservation for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Got seated very quickly, so happy there. The service was friendly but just took such a long time for EVERYTHING. Appetizers came out and couldn't find our server for plates or utensils. Just ate the Appetizer off the serving tray. Finally got some utensils and was told she'd bring more and never got them until we had to ask a food runner later on. My daughter's kid cheese pizza came out way later than the rest of our food and our sides incorrect. Again, understandable these things do happen but could not find my server to get it corrected. Ended up asking a host as they were walking by, who got our server for us. Had to ask for to go boxes twice and for the check because we couldn't find our server again. Overall, the staff was very kind and the food was delicious. We were really disappointed in the wait times for simple things like utensils, meals, boxes, check etc.

    Fifth beer dinner for us. The cups are getting smaller & seating is a problem. Andrea is great! We have been spreading the word.

  • 1/5 R48 P. 4 months ago on Google
    Emily was our server. We got nachos. All the toppings were on the top. We had crushed chips on the bottom. Chicken pieces were dry. Other toppings such as, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, cheese, side of salsa were decent. There’s no Cajun pasta because the chefs in the kitchen don’t know it. My bacon guacamole burger was pretty dry. Emily was decent, I just wish we did not had to wait awhile for a Parmesan shaker, I asked three times for ranch. Once while ordering, my burger arrived with no ranch. Asked Emily for ranch, then the ranch did not show up. So, I asked again while I’m already half way done with my dry, and frozen fries. Not the best texture. No fluffiness on the inside. A hard fried crunch on the outside. Root beer was missing that vanilla compared to the Downey location. Sad that the quality has went down at this location the past few years. Best of luck to them. Wished Stacked was still open. Such a shame.

    Went to BJ's Cerritos for happy hour 3-7. At first I arrived and was greeted within minutes from sitting down at the bar. The server gave me a menu and I ordered water while waiting for my partner. My partner arrived about 15 mins later. After his arrival she took our order quicky, but we weren't even done completely ordering before she grabbed all the menus and walked away. The food runner who brought out our food wasn't being too careful and was spilling the sauce on the plate. The pot stickers we got were not seared on all sides and still pale. After we finished our food we wanted to order more plus a drink, but we waited 15 mins before giving up and calling another server over. Our original server came back to confirm our slider order and we ordered a pizookis to avoid more of a wait, never ordered the drink. My partner even went up to the bar to ask for a refill of water. We sat near the doors and bar so it's not like we were hiding, they walked past us on multiple occasions, but not once did we just checked up on. All small things that wouldn't bother me normally, but all together in one visit just made me feel like I had to say something. I don't 100% blame the server, she did seem like the only one covering the bar area for a majority of our time there. I feel bad for her, I think she was short staffed and more support should be given if customers can't be looked after. We didn't spend a lot of money so I know we aren't a super important customer, she was very polite at the end, but she also did have a lot more staff support.

    Everything was just ok. Nothing was spectacular. It took 40 minutes to get a table around the bar which was completely open at the time of entrance. They didn't have bone in wings so I had to substitute my order to the Bjs Favorite. It was ok not spectacular. I got a blonde beer which was ok but not spectacular. I also got a margarita drink flight which was ok but not spectacular. The lemon berry tasted like simply blueberry w no alcohol the original was the best tasting followed by the strawberry and the pineapple was god awful. The nachos was huge and had a good taste and balance. Everything was ok but Bjs back in the day was spectacular and I miss that.

    This is a happening and well love restaurant. We went on Friday night 10p-12a. Very busy and vibrant place. Lots of good food to choose from. We came with a group of 20 people with all ages. Everyone like their food and have a good time. Server was attentive. Food was good and timely.

    BJ's was crowded when we got there around 10ish on a typical Tuesday night. Had the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and broccoli which was really good. Tried tasters of about eight beers brewed by BJ's. I specifically wanted to try different beers that I can't get in the Chicagoland area ans I got that with the vast beers available at BJs. Most breweries close around 9ish on a weekday, however, this is a good place to hang out until about midnight (closing time).

    The waitress was very thoughtful and kept checking to make sure we was good did I want another bowl of chili so it would be better to eat warmer. Refills just amazing service with kindness

  • 5/5 BlackListGodZ - B. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was great. Food was amazing (still hot when brought to table). This is probably one of the Best Location of BJ's ever. I normally don't like BJs die to several prior incidents but this place brought that belief in their service. So I'm glad I got this location by my house. Big chance to come back again!!!! To the staff especially BARBARA for making sure we got everything good and correct THANK YOU!!!!

    We were here on a busy Friday early evening. We were seated almost immediately as didn't wait for a full booth or large table. Our server Joshua was pretty attentive. We had never tried any appetizers...we were missing out! Huge nachos plate with chicken we ordered was tasty, warm, and cheesy! But the tri-tip sliders were SPECTACULAR! Those were such a delicious 😋 treat...I know we'll be back for more of those!

    It’s very rarely you deal with a manager that exceeds your expectations of hospitality!! Able, the manager at Cerritos can definitely teach others in his position the simple act of listening with a simple explanation. I would also like to thank our waitress Amanda for her exceptional service and attention to detail with our orders. Both made an afternoon that could of been bitter, SWEET!! I would like to thank them for going out of their way to make things right!!
