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.

    Good value for the money. Service was a bit slow. The restaurant was completely full and vibrant. A bit too much noise.

    I arrived 15 minutes early, there was a bit of a wait to get a table with no timeframe provided for when it would be ready, even though I called two days ago to confirm the table and dinner details for a work dinner for guests I hadn't met previously. If I had a lot of items to set up for the guests arriving, it would have been stressful, but was able to go smoothly once we got a table. The noise was certainly moderate and sometimes we had to raise our voices to hear one another, but the food was delicious, served in manageable portions, the wait staff were very attentive to the flow of a business dinner and only came when needed, but were easily accessible. The table location was off to the side and allowed for seamless flow of conversation. The wait staff even took a nice picture of me and my guests afterwards. I would return here for casual dinners for work, as it is a fun atmosphere and the beer they make is fresh and smooth. However, if you are looking to discuss significant details for a business proposal, I would look elsewhere. Of course, it's a brewery restaurant, so noise is to be expected.

    We've been regulars here for several years. Have always enjoyed their pizzas. Now, with an expanded menu, including pastas, small plates we find the new format even more interesting and excellent. Seeing the owner, Giacomo more adds to the ambience and dining experience. His knowledge and charm truly are pluses. This is a neighborhood gem.
