I was excited to be able to participate and write on behalf of BJs Brewhouse using their Dine-in Order Ahead and Mobile Pay apps. We eat there often {Bob is still trying to master their Tuscan Chicken} and there is a certain dessert that everyone loves.
Warning… my “3 reasons why you will love their mobile app” is at the bottom of this post. So, you have two options read my story or scroll past everything to read why you need it if you are a BJs Brewhouse fan. {Please read my story… I have lots of pictures to break up the text.}
My plan was to rally the girls and put both of the BJs apps to the test. The reality is that I wanted to go over Father’s Day weekend and nobody could make it before I skipped town to Puerto Rico. Well… if I can’t put it to the test with a group of friends I knew I sure could with my family on Father’s Day!
My iPhone sucks with an old old old IOS so I downloaded the mobile app to Bob’s iPad and the fun began! You can load the mobile app to your devices by using the links below:

First, I added our name to the waitlist to save time. We live about 15 minutes away so to slice off a few minutes of wait time is always welcomed!
Approximately a 35 minute wait and 15 minutes of driving time. This was great considering we do not normally wait for a table for longer than 20 minutes at any restaurant or we will go somewhere else so this worked out perfectly for us!
For those who know me know I love points, rewards, and more so eating at BJs Brewhouse makes me happy because I can collect rewards for future purchases!
To test the the system we decided to order our appetizers ahead of time instead of the entire meal {you know… just in case}.
Once we were seated and they took our drink order… BAM! … out with the apps and I am not talking about the mobile kind.
The Mozzarella Salad at BJs Brewhouse is one of my favorite appetizers and I get it every time we dine there. They make theirs a little different than the way I do it at home and the difference is a nice break from my traditional Caprese Salad recipe.
We received a nice surprise as the BJs Brewhouse managers walked from table to table handing out glasses and a discount for future savings. {You saw that I am all into that savings stuff… right?!}
And yes, I saved the best part for last… the 3 reasons why you will love their mobile app:
- Place your dine-in order ahead of time so you don’t have to wait. This is a great time saver especially if you have little kids.
- Again, do you have little ones? How about shaving off more minutes of your dinner to get the restless monkeys home by paying your bill through the mobile app?! No wait for us – paid at the table at my own pace.
- Remember, I am cheap? Well if you love to save money then you will love the option to save $5 off your order of $20 or more when you use the Dine-in Order Ahead mobile app or the Mobile Pay.
So, our Father’s Day dinner for 5 adults was a breeze {and I saved money… cough cough} by using the Dine-In Order Ahead and the Mobile Pay app.
