New Year’s Day brunch was outstanding, service was some of the best you can find In Pittsburgh. Shawn our server was wonderful. Latte from the coffeehouse followed by a mimosa and chicken and waffles was the perfect way to start my New Years.

About the restaurant

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.

Burgers were only warm, french fries cold. Chicken alfredo was extremely dry and I needed more sauce. I had to wait 10 minutes for my food while everyone else had theirs. Very disappointed.
