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.

    Wonderful place to eat. The steaks are the best I have eaten. The owners Steve and Peri Barnhart are nearly always there, actively overseeing everything and interacting with guests. When I was last there I had a rather large bouquet of flowers delivered to be set at our table for my guest. When we got ready to leave a young man who worked there offered to carry them and did so all the way to our car. A real class place Steve Lowe

    Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Wish if you dine there you are invited to courtyard without a coverage charge or discounted coverage charge. We would have stayed to listen to music and bought more drinks.
