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.

    Terrible bartender. He doesn’t know how to make a cocktail, Moscow mule. The waitress also never heard of Negroni, one of the simplest drinks in the world. They asked me to give the recipe that she would give it to bartender. I was told that they didn’t have Campari . Then I changed my order to Moscow mule and the taste was aweful. Probably they didn’t have ginger beer and fixed the cocktail with something else.

Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.

    They were not very busy for a Sunday evening and things happened a bit slow. The fries were not as crispy as normal. The asparagus was hard The service was a bit slow.

    Have not been to BJ's in a while, but decided on a last minute dinner out with the family. Noise level was a little high, service was ok (quick at first then long waits to order and food took a while to arrive. Tortilla soup was luke warm and had no tortillas, Fillet was tough even though cooked medium well as ordered... Other steak was good, and jambalaya was also ok, Pizzookies were very good as always

    Went with a party of 8 to BJs restaurant. We had a delightful server, and food was served in a timely manner. Everyone ordered something different, and everything was perfect. Would recommend this restaurant!
