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.

Service was amazing. Our main server was charismatic, efficient and so funny. A manager stopped by and asked if she could do anything for our children, and I asked for crayons. They unfortunately did not have any yet as they just opened, but she brought over an etch a sketch and a doodle pad. My 4 year old was over the moon! The food was impeccable as usual, but the service at this location will keep me coming back here !

Fair price for good food. The only issue was they switched my well-done stake for my wife's medium well. She did not want to just trade because I had broccoli on my plate & she did not want to risk cross contamination. It was yummy.
