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.

    Dominick was great! He gave excellent Customer Service and was very accommodating. The food was good and I’m glad you went back to the Soy Ginger Sauce for the Pot stickers. The Brussels sprouts were yummy as were the root beer glazed chicken nuggets. The kids liked their bb ribs and all the sides.
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - CarlsbadResponded on 10 February 2025
    Thanks for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Dominick provided excellent service and that you enjoyed the food, especially the Soy Ginger Sauce and Brussels sprouts. It's great to know the kids loved their meals too. We look forward to your next visit!

    It was terrible! I’m sorry, I don’t usually provide any negative reviews but, this was the worst BJ’s experience ever! I hate it back home but, thought it might be better here. We set a reservation for my son’s birthday. They sat us on time (6:30pm) but, food didn’t show up until after 8pm. And, there was no celebration or dessert for him. What a waste of time. And no celebration for him. Again, I have never left a bad review, ever! But, would love to warn families of my experience here.
    BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - CarlsbadResponded on 4 January 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience Jodi. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.
