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.

    Had such a great experience, as always at Yardbird. But tonight was special. Took my mom out, which she isn't often up for these days. But she had a delightful time. The staff was so accommodating, rushing over the moment we walked in, to the attentive service throughout the meal and the friendly interaction we had with all the staff. The fantastic and yummy food and incentive drinks and over the top key lime pie was just perfect.
