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.

    Hot dishes served cold, one of our entrees served before we even got our appetizer. Pasta was in a pool of greasy butter.

    Went Christmas Eve…had a 5pm reservation but got there closer to 4:40…restaurant was fairly empty but they had us wait until closer to our reservation time. Staff was courteous and friendly. Waitress was personable and fun but seemed to struggle to keep up. There were a couple or larger tables (party of 7) she was also waiting on. Drinks came pretty fast but the refills and food not so much. Husband and I got our food about 10 minutes before my poor mom. She ordered the salmon and no special requests. They did take 20% off her dinner .

    The service was very slow, and they overcooked our steaks twice. We waited over 30 minutes for our dessert! I would not recommend this place again. Our first server blew us off after we sent our steaks back. We were very nice about the food and didn't ask for a manager, but dumping us off to a different waiter was terrible! I made sure I tipped the new waiter!

    By far the worst experience I’ve ever had at this restaurant. It took over two hours to get food. We had to ask for water 5 times before we got it. Normally this is a pretty good restaurant, but this was an absolutely horrendous experience and I would never go back if it was my first experience.

    Not the experience we were hoping for. The pizza quality was not there. It was cold and the cheese was not melted all the way and the dough was soft and not cooked all the way.
