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.

    We were promptly greeted and seated. Staff were attentive and helpful. Only hiccup was when we scanned the QR code to pay-unsuccessful after three attempts so our server completed the transaction in the customary manner.

    We reserved on open table and were promptly seated on arrival. The restaurant is attractive and tables well spaced. Lots of screens immediately identify it's sports bar character, without excess noise. We have modest appetites and split an appetizer and entree, and could not quite finish either. Tasty margaritas complimented the very well prepared and seasoned the Brussel Sprout appetizer. The huge full slab of meaty ribs were perfectly smoked and cooked with a "just right" bit of crispy edges. The side of sweet potato casserole was of generous size and with a hint of seasonings. The cornbread side was our only disappointment. Good appearance and decent texture, but absolutely no flavor. Purr order was taken promptly, and delivery of food and drinks was very quick, perhaps a bit too quick on there entree, which arrived immediately after the entree hurt the table. It got there before the Margarita. During the meal we were asked by all the people dropping off food or drink if everything was good, but after we finished it was quite awhile before our server wandered over to ask about dessert. Prices are a bit high, but are justified by the ambiance, quality and portion sizes. We will return.
