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.

    Skewers are very good. Customer service is great. It's a bit dark inside but it's a fun experience.

    My partner and I absolutely love Gyu-Kaku & have been coming here religiously for over a year, it truly feels like our second home. We visit a few times a month, & not once have we been disappointed. The quality of the food is consistently fantastic. From the perfectly marinated meats to the fresh sides & sauces, everything always arrives delicious & beautifully prepared. You can truly taste the care that goes into each dish. But what really makes this place special is the people. LILY, who has become more like a friend than a server, greets us with the biggest smile & makes every visit feel wonderful. ALL THE STAFF & MANAGEMENT HERE ARE GENUINELY KIND & ATTENTIVE. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a little celebration, we always leave full & happy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this gem! Great food, amazing service, & the warmest atmosphere!

    My smokehouse burger was delicious and service was fine once we got waited on. Would have given it a 5 star except when we arrived ontime, hostess told us that reservations thru Open Table are not guaranteed. The place was packed but I pointed out an available table and she seated us but again telling me they only except reservations for parties of 10+. I asked why they are on Open Table if the reservation is not guaranteed? She had no answer.

    Good food, slower than expected service due to Fathers day crowd and hidden location.
