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.

We had a fabulous time at Renee’s Tuscan restaurant. We arrive 15 minutes before our reservation, but were seated immediately. The service was awesome as was the food. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer which was the best we’ve ever had. For salads, we ordered the Caesar and the Apple and Goat Cheese and split the two of them between four people. For entrées we ordered two lasagnas, the calzone, and one of the pasta dishes with meatballs. All were really good. In short, we can’t wait to go back to try some of pizzas as well as getting more lasagna because it was so good!

We enjoyed the food, French dip sandwich and the rotisserie chicken, but the service is what brings us back. Our server Brooke is outstanding and the other staff are really warm and friendly. Great place to spend your evening.
