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 took my mother in law out for an early Mother's Day dinner and it was delightful! Our server Luke was wonderful and his suggestions were great, we all shared the family plate and it was the perfect amount of food with a little left over. 10/10 we'll come back often!

    Overall food was great!!! It was a great wonderful experience I do think they need more staff as I felt that our server had like 7 tables to worry about and the bar. She didn't forget about us but I could often feel she was juggling a lot of things. But food was a really good I recommend it to me was like 8.5 out of 10 and it's loaded a lot of meat!! I definitely will be going back with my family and friends!!
