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.

    We arrived on time, were promptly seated - and received excellent service from Sarah! The buffet table was, as usual, superb, both in appearance and content - so good, in fact, that my wife chose to dine solely from it! The meat offerings came around at regular intervals and, with the sole exception of the chicken (as per usual, it was overcooked and dry!) were of excellent quality - and the servers of each offering always had a smile on their faces! And a special shout out to Teresa - although we only come maybe every other month, she always seeks us out to greet us .... what an asset to the restaurant she is!
