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.

Always impressed with Bin189 at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had breakfast here today, the breakfast burrito was incredible, and now has my vote as the best on the mountain. Seems pricey, but the portion is enough for two meals.

We reserved a table for 8 on line in the morning for a 615 dinner. At 430 we decided to try and come in sooner. After calling the restaurant we were able to move up our reservation very easily. Once arriving we we set almost right away. Our server Tony was on top of it. He was at our table every couple minutes. If we could choose to our server we would choose Tony every time. This was only our second visit to the restaurant with a big group , but we will come back now that we know how easy it can be.
