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.

We always love Annette but the pork tenderloin we had last night was the best I've ever had! So many yummy options on the menu! And the Tootsie Roll cocktail was a perfect dessert drink. Don't think twice - just go!

Went for a business dinner on a Monday evening, we were seated right away and our server was friendly. We ordered wine and a cheese board, the servings for the board were quite lame, but our pastas came out quickly after and were delicious and ample. If I were local, I’d come back.
