This was my first visitL I went for my birthday. The restaurant was empty except for two other tables. We got to walk through the kitchen, which was so fun. The waiter had wonderful suggestions and we had the best time.

About the restaurant

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 staff was great. Menu offers several options to please different appetites. I ate the small deep dish, It was okay but nothing special. I also had the tossed salad with 1,000 island dressing. It was very good.

You’re coming for the arcade experience, so be prepared for lots of noise and lights. Food was decent. Reminded me of the casinos in Vegas. I like that kind of stuff but this place may not be everyone’s cup of tea
