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.

Last night reminded me exactly why this place is one of my absolute favorites! From the moment you walk in, the energy is electric — and a big part of that is thanks to David. And the DJ , David is truly phenomenal! His service is always top-tier, and his energy is very On another level! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it makes all the difference. The food? Chef’s kiss — every bite feels like a celebration. The DJ keeps the vibes alive, spinning tracks that make it impossible to sit still. Honestly, I come for the full experience: the incredible food, the unbeatable music, and of course… David! It’s not just a restaurant — it’s a whole vibe. 10/10 recommend, every time!

Outstanding service. Hidden gem. Food was served with quality, fresh, and great presentation. Don’t let the location fool you. The construction in the area isn’t doing this place any justice. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed.
