### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 4.7.8*

I like the restaurant and the app. Only thing I do not vibe with is it only shows you 18% and up tips. It should start at 10% tip, then 15%. Both which is the traditional range.

### 4/5 — They took my order, then lost it!

*2026-08-02, version 4.7.8*

I like this place they have good food. Unfortunately the app has a little problem and that it takes your order while you’re waiting to sit down, but then the server has no idea where the order went.  Even the manager was clueless. We had to basically put the same order in again!  What is the point of offering functionality if you have no idea how to support it?  I do like that at least they have Apple Pay and they make it very easy to pay your check.

### 4/5 — Where’s my history?

*2026-07-26, version 4.7.8*

Can’t navigate to my gift card or purchase history. The data was not available. No record found.

### 2/5 — Restaurant is great app is meh

*2026-07-23, version 4.7.8*

I’m in the app. And it knocks me out of where I am. I re log in and all the options are gone except review and deals? So here’s the review.

### 5/5 — Great food!

*2026-06-27, version 4.7.8*

We love the food & service, the jambalaya is over the top!

### 4/5 — Good rewards, slow app

*2026-06-27, version 4.7.8*

The app looks really good, but it’s really slow because there’s so much to process. Sometimes it just spins and doesn’t connect to anything.

### 5/5 — Top-tier service

*2026-06-27, version 4.7.8*

I’m at the bar. This guy has the greatest service. I tipped 22%. I’m a DoorDash so I could just make it back within the day. I spent like $72 today on very small items but they were delicious. very delicious Might I add anyways guys you guys should come here

### 5/5 — BJs

*2026-06-26, version 4.7.8*

Chino Hills

### 5/5 — Great app

Have used reservation feature all the time too.

*2026-06-13, version 4.7.7*

Every time I order ahead. It is late. Ordered half hour ago. Still waiting. Ugh

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Lost $40

*2026-08-11, version 4.7.8*

On 8/1 afternoon there are $40 rewards money in my account, by 8/2 morning, it’s all gone, I reached out to customer service, he said he could not tell what happened, so far no one called me back to tell me what happened

### 1/5 — My phone is too old

*2026-08-09, version 4.7.7*

I’ve been using the app for years. But recently I can’t open the app because it says I need to upgrade my ios. But I can’t.

### 1/5 — Delete

*2026-08-09, version 4.7.8*

The app charges you 12% for a delivery fee and then an additional service charge on top of that. None of that money goes to the driver so after you end up tipping service fees end up costing about 30% of your total order. That is ridiculous. Using an app should be more convenient for them because it removes any human interaction. It shouldn’t cost 15% of your bill in fees just to use an app. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Useless now

*2026-08-06, version 4.7.7*

App soft locks itself on iOS 17 by telling you to update to a different version, despite the app loading in the background. So basically can’t access my rewards anymore. Great.

### 1/5 — App restarts without closing the app

*2026-08-03, version 4.7.8*

I was ordering a pizza and have two BJ’s locations about 3 miles apart. I started building an order, realized I wanted the non-default location, and switched stores. I then briefly left the app to check a few texts and look up food photos. When I returned, the app had restarted and my entire order was gone, so I had to build it from scratch. Since I had already switched locations once, I forgot to change the location again and accidentally placed the order at the wrong restaurant.

The app should preserve the current order and selected location when you briefly switch to another app. Losing the entire cart makes for a frustrating user experience.

### 1/5 — update needed

*2026-07-23, version 4.7.7*

says i need to update

### 1/5 — App Forces a Unavailable Update

*2026-07-17, version 4.7.7*

They have made the app unable to be used with an “‘Update” button.. hHowever there is no update to get. App is dead in the water.

### 1/5 — Customize

*2026-06-02, version 4.7.7*

App won’t allow to customize sides of an entree

### 1/5 — Adding points

*2026-06-02, version 4.7.7*

When adding points of a past check to your account, you are required to enter the sub total value. They provide a key pad to enter the amount. But where is the place to enter the decimal point? Get a better key pad for your app!

### 1/5 — Receipt Point Glitch

*2026-05-08, version 4.7.7*

When I try to add the points from my receipt last week, the app says I haven’t selected a valid location even though I selected from the in-app drop down list.

### 5/5 — Conscience and beneficial

*2026-07-29, version 4.7.8*

I’m very much like the BJ’s app We can scan at the table and pay the check whenever we’re ready to leave. Additionally, we love the discounts.

### 5/5 — User friendly
