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.

Excellent first experience. We made reservations online, they were ready for us when we arrived. We sat inside due to the wind but loved how much outdoor seating was available. Perfect for groups of all sizes. Impressive menu is ciders and food options. A few items were sold out, but not surprised because they sounded delicious. Started with a flight of ciders - highly recommend! Kids meal was cute served on a metal tray. Everyone enjoyed their food and the atmosphere, we will be back again soon.
