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.

    Thought the prime rib would have been more tender. The portion was very generous.

    All 7 guest were very pleased with how delicious their meals were… steak, pizza, Parm crusted chicken, mediterranean taco. The calamari and spinach artichoke dips were also delicious and one person had the seafood chowder and he raved about how good it was.

    Food is average at best. Ordered chips and salsa/guac as appetizer and the chips were very stale, had to ask for fresh chips. Steak was fatty and low quality.

    Mark, thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the chips and steak. Your comments are important, and we’ll be sure to address them with our kitchen team to improve our offerings. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience!

    Our experience overall was an A. I ordered the Prime Rib, it would have been perfect if it had been warmer. The medium-rare piece was more rare. Otherwise everything else including our waitperson, Jamie, was outstanding. When we get back to Pittsburgh in March we will plan on returning to BJ’s. Your staff at the entrance on Thursday, Friday, & Sunday were friendly & welcoming.
