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.

Excellent food and atmosphere! I wish I’d have got there earlier before the food started run out and was really excited about the bread pudding but missed out! The burger with pimento cheese was so awesome I’ll have to go back just for that! Definitely will be a place I’ll return to the next time I’m in Waco

We had a good business lunch and the wait staff was helpful. We stayed over after lunch to finish our conversation and the staff was attentive but not pushy.
