About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers
  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    The Prime Rib dinner was a huge disappointment. The meat was tough and had too much fat.

    Food was good. Service was painstakingly slow. I waiter had too many tables an no help. We pointed out spilled water on the floor that someone could slip on. No one wiped it up. Hope no one fell.

    Silvana, thanks for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food, but we sincerely apologize for the slow service and the oversight with the spilled water. Your experience is important to us, and we'll work on improving our service to ensure a safer and more efficient dining experience.

    Our server Tom made our whole experience 10x better than the average visit to BJs! I’ve been coming to BJs for years and I’ve never had the experience of a server like Tom. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to have as our server! I appreciate his attention to detail and thinking of little things before we could even ask him! I’d come back just to have Tom as a server again.

    Brianna, we’re thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience with Tom! Our team strives to provide top-notch service, and it’s wonderful to know Tom exceeded your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great visit!

    Overall atmosphere is on par with a Red Robin. Great place for kids because it's so loud in there. More of a gathering place, super casual night out. Not a good option for a business dinner, especially if you have stuffier, more formal colleagues. Not enough tables in the bar area for a quick drink/night out.
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - NewarkResponded on April 15, 2025
    Thanks for your feedback, Teresa! We appreciate your insights on the atmosphere and dining options. We aim to create a fun, casual environment, but we understand it may not suit every occasion. Your thoughts help us improve, and we’ll keep them in mind for future enhancements.

    Despite making a reservation for 12 people 2 days in advance, they were unable to give us a table for 12. They made us wait a 1/2 hr and then informed us that we will be getting 2 tables instead of 1. They didn’t come for orders till another 1/2 hr. We requested quick orders for the small kids in our group, and they missed that too! Either you take bookings and hold tables for the reservations or just inform customers that we are not taking reservations!
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - NewarkResponded on February 28, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience Prachi. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.
