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.

Our steaks were wonderful. Cooked to perfection. A small salad and a baked potato came with it. The place has IU lights everywhere, small, lots of tables. We had reservations, seemed like everyone did. We there early and were seated 15 minutes prior to our reservation time. It was a Tuesday and seemed busy, but not rushed. The staff was great. Quick and efficient. Expensive, but I would definitely go again for a special occasion.
