Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. 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. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Amazing event for my family with excellent food and service. Fantastic reach out by management of my next day to-go order (prepared the same night vs in the morning) and sweets for a dream calm down before leaving. Can’t visit and dine often enough!

My first visit. The service was excellent. The food portions were surprisingly large. The waitress was on. She checked on our table appropriately. I also liked that I called the restaurant with questions. Someone answered and was very helpful.

Food was very good, as usual. Not a busy night since it was before Thanksgiving. Service was slow at times, waiting on drink delivery mainly - which was frustrating because the bar was totally empty and only a few tables were occupied. Lots of chatting by the wait staff and bar staff. Just were not on point that night.
