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.

Took a little bit to get a server ( which never happens) but I think the guy was newer?? The food was ok but the fries were almost burnt again very unusual. The band was awesome Netherton/Varner!!!!! We’ve seen them several times at Turfway and they never disappoint. They’ve added a keyboard musician David Lewis, whom my boyfriend knew and he is unbelievably talented! Great time for sure!!!!

It was 19° outside and the amount of heat was tolerable for 2 1/2 hours that we were in the igloo. They kept coming out and checking on us and kept our drinks full. Great fun.
