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.

    This was our first visit to Janko’s, being new to the area. We were looking for a good steakhouse to celebrate our anniversary. Janko’s hit the mark in food & service. Although atmosphere was more in line with a crowded sports bar it would not deter us from going again. Highly recommend reservations as it is obviously a VERY popular restaurant.

    The tables are small for four people is the only issue with the experience. Playing to make room to eat. The food and price were great.

    Farm Bloomington has intriguing decor, great servers, and somewhat variable food. A chicken entree I'd had and very much liked before was a little overcooked this time, and my husband's filet mignon wasn't really well done as he requested (and as the toothpick-label declared). (It was, however, tasty for someone who prefers medium.) The amuse-bouche was very nice, and the chocolale mousse was superb. As the place filled up, it got noisy enough that we had some trouble hearing each other.
