The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

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.

Attentive and fast staff; accommodating. Burgers were excellent - highly recommend for a basic burger. The tater tots were excellent, though one in party said they were greasy. Fries were better than most. Would revisit.

Another terrific experience at TFK! Samantha was my server today and did an absolutely stellar job. Not only was she extremely attentive despite her entire section being full, but she was also spot-on with refills and other requests. I could not have asked for better service! I know I can always count on excellent, high-quality food and service whenever dining at TFK. As a foodie, this is crucial for both myself and any guests I may bring along with me. Thank you TFK team!
