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.

My overall experience was pretty good. I will say the front desk needs to be more welcoming. They were not approachable and talking about their personal life in front of everyone and not being attentive to the guests. But my waiter, server, and chef were excellent.

The tandoori sea bass is a masterpiece. Can't think of any weak courses my wife and I have ever had here. We like to try at least one new thing every time we ago.

Our family is highly health-conscious, so we love Black Angus for its low-calorie, low-carb options with calories on the menu. We can have a celebratory dinner with steak, veggies, soup, and appetizers and stay within our restrictions. At the same time, if someone is taking the day off, there are so many options to go hog-wild crazy! The best part of our visit was the service. They are kind to our family's many requests, including our toddler. Never flinching, our waitress said, "Sure!" with a sweet smile to every request. Thank you for making our New Year's Day a warm, friendly place to gather!
