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.

I wish I remembered our server's name as she was absolutely delightful and accommodating. We were quite an annoying bunch and our server handled it all in stride. Food was also excellent. Our server had the support of other people helping including management to make sure that we were taken care of and it made for a smooth dinner despite our large group. The bartender was also incredibly charming. Overall, great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to book my next work dinner there.
