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 food and our waiter was great. The hostess could use some help… we showed up 5 min early for our reservation and she told us that we couldn’t be seated because “you’re quite a bit early”. When I advised that we were 5 min early, she said that big parties (we had 6) typically show up 15 min or so late so they were not ready for us. She even said that they don’t have a waiter for us because we were early. Ultimately we were seated only 5 min late and had a great dinner, but she is not exactly the best face to greet people!

    Food and greeter were awesome! Our waitress was the worst. Her attitude is not one that should have been experienced. She never checked to see how our food was, if we needed any refills, or if we needed anything else period. We only saw her again when we asked for the check.

    We were seated 15 mins after our reservation time but the hostess was nice. She seemed overwhelmed. Maybe needed more help as she had to wipe tables before seating guest. The food was good. Our waiter was forgetful and had to be reminded a couple times about items missed and requested. The food was really good.

    We went to get the prime rib dinner as we have done on Sunday many times. Unfortunately they were out. We settled for an overpriced steak. If this happens again we will probably leave and go to a different place.

    I really like the look and feel of the restaurant. One of my favorites. Anywhere. We always visit when I see my daughter at nearby CNU. Love the menu too. This was perhaps the least enjoyable experience we’ve had though. Execution off a bit on the food. Drink service quite slow. Apparently there was an issue with silverware. Not expecting plastic utensils at a place where I spend $100+ on dinner for three. And prices seemed to have jumped. $21+ for a half rack of ribs? May be due to rising pork prices or restaurant trying to make up for losses during the pandemic.

    Really nice looking restaurant. They have an excellent menu with many great selections (it made it hard to decide). My daughter enjoyed the ribs and I went with the lower cal bison burger. Both were great. We especially liked the excellent selection of good side options. They have a spectacular looking bar, and the beer selection was all any beer lover could ask for. The service was super friendly and helpful, and the virtual check/bill pay process was great. Quick and, during this pandemic, the reduced contact of the transaction was much appreciated.

    Had a great time with exception of the large group of takeout dinner guests surrounding our table...a few close enough to be sitting next to us. COVID or not it was wrong. We moved to another table after talking to management. Then they lined them along all the patrons sitting at tables including ours. I will not be returning. Poor management and people with no sense.
