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.

    Lincoln was our server. He was absolutely excellent. There was a storm here in Lexington so there was a lot less people in the dining room and we got right to our table 20 minutes early and the service was excellent and they gave us abundance of food when we left. Absolutely great service great atmosphere my wife and I love Malones at the Palomar.

    Malone's staff long has put a priority on exemplary service. Supervisors know customers have high expectations of the restaurant, it's good, and the service workers provide. Our visit on Feb. 15 met, or exceeded, any expectations we had going in. Our main server, Caroline, was highly attentive and service-oriented, even though she was apparently having to double at the bar. Support staff who assisted in serving us also were superbly friendly and helpful. Simply put, our meal, and our entire experience at Malone's, could not have been better!
