This was my first time eating at BJ's and I will never come back. I got a chicken sandwich and my girlfriend got a cauliflower pizza. The food wasn't anything special and definitely over-priced. We finished it off with a "gluten free" cookie dessert which was pretty good. Immediately finishing our meals, we both rushed to the bathroom, 3 days later we are both still battling these food poisoning symptoms.

Been here a few times and try something new each time… it’s always great! I love the outdoor-in-the-indoors atmosphere. Everything is super kid friendly too- I’ve taken my kids and never had a problem getting something to match their picky needs. This has also become a great go-to option when I’m doing brunch w my gluten free friends.

Yes, it’s popular and busy and there can be a wait, but it’s worth the wait. Plus I’m in love with how they handle the Yelp waitlist, it’s helpful and informative (you get both a text and phone call (201 area code maybe?)) when your table’s ready. Service was OUTSTANDING. We said we were okay with the patio and when we were seated, it was in a corner and a little breezy and we asked to move and they were VERY accommodating. As busy as this place is, I wasn’t that hopeful we’d be able to move so that was a nice touch in and of itself. But our server, Morgan, was just great. She was over the top helpful and completely on top of her game. She was attentive to every little detail (for example, asked on my iced coffee if I wanted the creamer on the side (yes thank you), do you want hot sauce, and on to-go boxes how many we’d need), and even got me a plastic cup for a bonus to-go iced coffee! Handled the payment right in the middle of the dining experience (smoothly, I might add). Very pleasant personality, just great. But all the staff were accommodating and helpful! Food was delicious, portion sizes are really big, too, so it’s a great value. Hollandaise is delicious on the Benedict dishes, and you can even get it as a side - for a very reasonable up-charge in my opinion, and I often take issue with some restaurants’ up-charges on certain things, so when I say it’s reasonable, it really is). Link sausage was delicious, not too spicy, great texture. Eggs over easy were perfectly over easy. AND the gluten-free bread for toast (my wife has a gluten allergy) is the best GF bread I’ve ever tasted (I taste it myself sometimes and most GF breads don’t taste like gluten breads but this one I couldn’t even tell it was GF). Hash browns are really good too, they don’t over-spice them, but they’re thinly sliced, crispy on the edges, and taste great. Couldn’t be happier and will return.

My wife and I have eaten at the particular restaurant a couple times the food and service is typically good. They sometime have challenges cooking the burgers to order, meaning to the correct amount of doneness. But overall they do an OK job. The draw for my wife is that they do offer a gluten-free bun, which is a plus.

We had 7 in our group. 4 kids and 3 adults. I am Gluten free and they were so willing and able to accommodate my needs. I had the Kilauea burger without bun and a side Caesar salad. It was so good I want to go back very soon. The server was great and the manager came over as well. Everyone was friendly and it was clean and the temperature was comfortable. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for lunch and already have plans to go back. Our waitress was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations. The ultimate burrito was huge (easily enough for two people), stuffed, and delicious. They accomodated a gluten allergy by serving the fish tacos in lettuce cups. Easily my new favorite mexican restaurant in North Phoenix/Scottsdale.

A very nice meal on a day when we "missed" lunch due to an unexpected snafu. The counter people were so pleasant and kind, allowing us to order a wonderful gluten free shrimp spring roll appetizer while trying to make up our minds about entrees. My companion opted for a gluten free shrimp Pho while I ordered a gluten free chicken bun dish. The white meat chicken was excellently cooked. They offered me a choice of GF sauce - fish sauce or their custom made lemon grass sauce. I tried a little of each and would recommend the fish sauce if you want a little saltiness and the lemon grass is more of a light vinegarette. My only "complaint" might be the limited options for the boba drinks. We like a Thai tea flavor that they don't carry, but by the time we finished our scrumptious food, we weren't worried about getting any extras as the portions are large. I usually take a few photos but will have to wait until our next visit as we were so famished and the aroma was so tempting that I forgot anything besides enjoying an excellent meal. This is a counter service, fast (very) casual vibe place. Don't expect fancy tables or chairs, just terrific food!

Robert working at the window is amazing and about 8 months ago he heard the engine of my car knocking when I pulled up to the window and he mentioned that it sounded like my oil was low. He was 100% right and because of him it saved me a potential seized up engine. I just saw him at the window today and recognized it was him and thanked him so much. Not only is the food amazing but to have a worker like Robert and I look out for the people in the community is amazing. He did not have to say anything but because he did I may have saved thousands of dollars all for the price of my gluten free lettuce wrapped burger. So worth it and he deserves a raise!

These guys are always on point. They speak to each other as well as their customers with great respect and you can tell they put a lot of work and pride into their business. They have gluten-free bread for sandwiches and their breakfast bowls are delicious/cheap. I really love supporting these guys due to the quality of their business model and their overwhelmingly positive vibes. I need to remember to bring some singles so I can actually tip next time!!

It was really nice inside, nice atmosphere, they were able to sit 10 of us by calling ahead around 8:30 pm on Tuesday night. They have a vegetarian beyond burger probably the only thing that could be made vegan by removing the cheese and switching out the bread for gluten-free bread. I think the brioche bun is not vegan. Went with people that eat meat so my only food option. Good company, though. They let us split our bills individually, which was nice.
