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.

    Worth a Visit, But Be Prepared for the Wait! DEFINITELY make a reservation—especially if you’re going Friday through Sunday! Even with a reservation for two, we still had about a 15-minute wait, while walk-ins were looking at a 1.5-hour wait. The place gets super busy, and the service could use some improvement—maybe they just need more staff to keep up. Our server was friendly, but they forgot our order twice and had to double-check, which was a little frustrating. That said, the food was solid and came out quickly (despite a little issue with our dessert order), with plenty of variety, and the drinks were great. Overall, a good experience, but expect some hiccups if you’re going during peak hours!

    Coming in it was incredibly busy, the staff walked around with little pieces of pizza which was amazing as we have a toddler. After we sat they brought our toddler gold fish and fruit which was amazing. The staff was warm and welcoming Steak was really tough and ribs were really dry, wouldn’t recommend it at all Salmon was excellent, pizza was excellent We would return for another night

    The restaurant is not actually taking reservations via Open Table. When we got there they told us it is actually a place in line and we had a one hour wait. You may want to take them out of your service because not actual reservations.

    10 of us went for dinner. Our table was ready when we got there. We had great food, drinks and dessert. Our server was very nice and friendly. Our only complaint was we would go long times without seeing him. The service was very slow. We ended up being there for three hours! normally I would find that annoying, but we were really enjoying our time together, so we weren’t upset.

    My Fiancee and I had dinner there just after getting engaged. The Manager gave us a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. This was special. Appreciated the king service.

    We were sat 10 minutes after our reservation time, then waited 1 hour for our food after ordering immediately (which we didn’t have a waitress come to take our orders for another 10 minutes).
