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.

The kitchen forgot our appetizer order. My entree arrived completely wrong and was sent back. Gave up no dinner for me. Was party of 4. After dinner was over and the check was paid. They showed up with the appetizers. The food that did arrive was quite good, but the kitchen and the wait staff was extremely disorganized.

Our server was AWESOME!! I forgot her name, but her birthday is June 18th lol GeminiSeason. She was very attentive, quick, personable, and really sweet. The host upon entering was an older gentleman who was rude in my opinion. We had a party of 8, so we were about 9-10 mins past our reservation. We did not want to keep waiting, so we went inside with the 6 ppl we had present. Of course the restaurant was empty and had literally one table with two guests present. The seats directly at the bar were quite full (maybe 6 ppl). The host made a comment when I told him what time our reservation were (11:30) it was about 11:40 and he made the comment “11:30 later or 11:30 past?” I ignored the immature remark as he looked aged about in his 50s (bald, dark, wore glasses). As we were escorted back to our table, he made another comment “Are you waiting for more ppl” I stated “yes, just 2.” He then laughed under his breath. I then made the comment “I’m already not feeling this service and I will be asking for a manager if he’s waiting on us.” He then switched his energy by stating we would be waited on soon and walked away. Didn’t bring us waters while we waited for our server. He absent-mindedly came back to tell us about the Father’s Day special, but you can tell even doing that seemed like it was eating him up to do. Thank God we had an amazing waitress who changed our entire experience. I came here for my birthday and he almost ruined the day for me. I have an invisible disability and it took a lot for me to be present this day and he almost ruined that. Shout out to our amazing waitress. She made my birthday lunch a great one regardless of the initial berating we received from the host.

We had a great experience for my son’s birthday. The waitress told us that she was fairly new but she did a good job of maintaining all of the tables that she had. We’ll be back soon.
