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.

    Incredible experience!!! I have Celiac Disease and am Vegan, and I really love how the chef is able to always prepare something safe for me to have! From a great salad to an exquisite dish, depending on the ingredients he has available he can put something together. Last night he created an incredible Vegan Mushroom Risotto that was celiac safe and out of this world delicious! Always a great experience and I have never had a reaction! Thank you so much to the chef!

    I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The American cheeseburger was amazing. I loved they had a singer in the background playing some songs.

    The waiter’s we’re doing what they could and kept cool and composed the whole time! In one ocasión I asked for manager because we were an hour in and no drinks nor pre ordered appetizer, she finally came and by then I had my drinks so I told her I was good, she passed by 2 other tables as poor waiters were running all over the place without drinks in their cups! She was already on the floor she could have been a good leader and helped her staff on the floor instead of running back into hiding. There was no beer only one particular brand, they were out of more than half of their mixed drinks!? The server honestly was the only reason I didn’t get my family and leave like others did, she tried her very best to keep us happy!
