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.

Steakhouse located at Ramsey Country ClubStory behind the name “Rare Bird” The name Rare Bird is inspired by the Latin phrase “Rara Avis,” which is also the motto of Ramsey Country Club. Historically, rara avis refers to a “rare bird” — something extraordinary, unique, and seldom seen. In modern slang, it often refers to a child prodigy or a person of exceptional talent. This name bridges the cultural heritage of RCC with our culinary identity — a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience that blends the artistry of an Italian steakhouse with the precision of sushi craft. It’s also a playful nod to “rare,” evoking perfectly cooked steaks and uncommon quality in every detail. Rare Bird is more than a name — it’s a statement of distinction, creativity, and excellence.
