We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza.

    Tito Mange in Claremont is an absolute gem! The food is outstanding, full of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautifully prepared dishes. You can tell there’s real passion and attention to detail in the kitchen. The grilled octopus is an absolute must-have! Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, with just the right amount of char and smoky flavor. It’s easily one of the standout dishes and something we’d come back for again and again. The combination of delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and authentic flavors makes Tito Mange a fantastic dining experience. It’s the kind of place where you want to take your time, enjoy the food, and appreciate the creativity behind each dish.

    We came in to celebrate a Birthday Friday night. Our server Diego was great, he helped make it a very fun and wonderful night! He was very pleasant and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed without having to ask, he even gave us drink recommendations (drinks were delicious btw) and made the Birthday girl feel extra special! Loved the service and we will definitely be coming back to celebrate special events or just to enjoy a casual night!
