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.

    Savannah was our server, for our table of 10. She did a fantastic job with our group. She was very personable. She was always on top of our needs and made sure everything was great. She does a great job!

    I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The American cheeseburger was amazing. I loved they had a singer in the background playing some songs.

    awesome visit except that the serve did not understand the drink that was being ordered at the restaurant. attempted to get a drink at the main bar around 11. everyone was too concerned about going home. we waited about 15-20 minutes and never got waited on completely ignored and just left. nobody even acknowledged that we was leaving. not acceptable staffing for the weekend.

    The waiter’s we’re doing what they could and kept cool and composed the whole time! In one ocasión I asked for manager because we were an hour in and no drinks nor pre ordered appetizer, she finally came and by then I had my drinks so I told her I was good, she passed by 2 other tables as poor waiters were running all over the place without drinks in their cups! She was already on the floor she could have been a good leader and helped her staff on the floor instead of running back into hiding. There was no beer only one particular brand, they were out of more than half of their mixed drinks!? The server honestly was the only reason I didn’t get my family and leave like others did, she tried her very best to keep us happy!
