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.

I received a card for my birthday and decided to try it. SO GLAD I DID! It was excellent! The atmosphere is some of the best in the valley. The drinks were fantastic, the food was beautiful presented and tasted amazing. They also have a beautiful bar and patio area. It’s a scratch kitchen so be prepared to have a nice, leisurely meal. Definitely go. You won’t be sorry.

Our large group of 4 adults and 4 children dined before our annual visit to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park for the holidays. The staff was very attentive and friendly caring for the kids as attentively as the adults. The comfort food is outstanding from shrimp and grits to brisket, everything was well prepared and delicious.
