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.

    This place is amazing! It was our first time visiting, so we weren’t quite sure what to order, but the servers were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were quick with refilling our waters, checking in on how everything was, and clearing plates as soon as we were done. We ordered the prime kalbi short rib and the harami skirt steak, and let me tell you—they were absolutely amazing. The food was prepared perfectly and so delicious, and the restaurant was very clean and well-kept. The service and overall experience were wonderful. I’d 100% come back—and most likely will!

    Had a great experience. The food was great! We all had different items, my burnt ends and pulled pork was delicious. My son raved about the loaded Mac n cheese. They had enough gluten free options for my other son that he felt he had a good amount of items to select from( caveat, there is possible cross contamination issues with the fryer but my son was good). Nico was our server and he did a great job; very attentive and personable. We also spent time in the arcade and had a blast.
