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 would have rated 5s but they were short staffed and out of their magnificent double bone pork chop. We also miss the monkey bread but enjoyed the pizookies. The manager was attentive and ensured all met our satisfaction. Definitely a good place to dine.

We made reservations. When we arrived on time, our table was not ready. We waited 15 mins. My daughter ordered a chicken sandwich, but we were told they were out of chicken for various entrées. We ordered pizza, and it was very good. Waitress was good.

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your meal, Kellie. We want all our guests to leave with warm smiles and full stomachs. If you're ever unsatisfied with your order, please speak with an on-site manager, so we can fix it for you right away.
