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.

    Showed up before the reservation and was told my reservation wasn’t in the system. Said it would be about an hour wait… but they were quick to fix the situation and we were seated within 10 minutes! We had a wonderful waiter too!

    We were seated outside and the heaters were not working well when we were there. The food took a really long time to come out and the quality just wasn't up to our expectation for the price that we paid. Our server did their best but it was clear they had too many tables to serve at the same time. We arrived at 6PM and paid the bill at 8:30PM, a lot of that time was waiting for food

    Our server was fantastic: helped me find a good deal on soup and salad, made sure my younger daughter got all the ranch dip for her chicken tenders that her heart desired. It was busy, but they took care of us nicely. Thank you!

    Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Very satisfied with our experience. We have visited a few times in the last year or so and service has always been excellent. Management is doing a great job at hiring.

    French dip was terrible. Sandwich was 3 chunks of ragged bread thrown together. Meat was tough and tasteless. Horseradish sauce and french fries were left out completely and it took 10 minutes for the waiter to bring them later.

    Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your meal, Joseph. We want all our guests to leave with warm smiles and full stomachs. If you're ever unsatisfied with your order, please speak with an on-site manager, so we can fix it for you right away.
