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.

    Huge menu made it hard to decide because everything sounded good. Our waitress was great-friendly, solicitous, and when she found out we were all there for our birthday, let us know our dessert would be free. The food was very good-perfectly done & perfectly seasoned. I would definitely go back for another informal meal.

    BJ's offers a nice variety of food on their menu, something for everyone. The food was great, as always. Our server was amazing, I wish I could remember the young man's name. It was a Saturday during March Maddness, place was packed, and he was still incredibly attentive. It's a very energetic environment.

    I eat at BJ’s Brewhouse quite often. The food is always great and the service is also very good. On my latest visit I requested no red onion on my kale and roasted Brussels sprout salad. This request was not honored, so I spent most of my time picking out the chopped red onion. The server indicated she had communicated the request and I, likely, was given someone else’s order. She offered a free dessert, which was nice, but I rarely eat sweets. It was a minor hiccup on what is usually a great dining experience there. I’ll definitely return!

    Good overall experience but prices seem to be higher. Menu is MUCH SMALLER nowWe’re already out of Prime Rib(may want to consider making more on weekends). Food arrived slower than usual. Great having reservations as there was a large number of people waiting. We were seated immediately. Server was very courteous and did a great job.

    We had a wonderful time at BJ’s because of our amazing server, Clark. He is a gem and BJ’s is so lucky to have him. He was so engaging with us and our teenage sons. Although he had at least two large tables in addition to us, he never seemed to be in a hurry, never rushed us and engaged in conversation each time he checked on us. Thank you Clark for a great experience! We will be back because of you.

    Everything was amazing from the sparkling sangria flight, to the small plate appetizers of Brussels sprouts and Mac n cheese bites. Then the salads were delicious and nice portions. The prime rib deal is the best value and flavor for the cost! The portion was huge and the seasoning and preparation was perfect. So tender and flavorful. All the sides met expectations and the pizookie finished the meal with a bang! We are going back today (the next day) for lunch.

    It was my grandmother’s 78th birthday. We go here a lot and love it every time. Great service, food and atmosphere. We have a 1 year old and love it that they bring out a “kids starter plate”.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with a family dinner at BJ's. We chose this restaurant partly because the menu has so much variety, something for everyone. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food, and my husband was treated to a free dessert. I want to thank our server, Cassidy, for going out of her way to ensure that we had a pleasant meal. She was attentive, but not too attentive, and was always on hand when we needed her.

    I reserved a table for 3 on open table. We arrived and my table was ready. We ordered and got our salads within 15 minutes of ordering. The food came out about 30 minutes later. The waiter dropped on of the meals and let us know that a fresh one was been made. He was very courteous. We ordered apazookie, which was delicious! I ordered a gluten free pizza and pazookie, and the texture and taste was great! I highly recommend the gluten free pizza and pazookie!
