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 food and drinks are always amazing here! The Rosey Monkey drink special was fantastic. The Asian Pear Martini was also a hit! The Wellas Wings were so crispy and the chicken inside so tender, the flavor was that of something your Abuela would make, Sasson and Adobo delicious. The Blue NY Strip was so juicy and flavorful nice compliment to the steak was the thick cut bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Steaks were cooked to perfection, the side of roasted potatoes were crispy on the outside soft on the inside. Desserts you must try are the carrot cake or the Woodford Apple Crumble. Pure comfort on a cold night. The place is always packed on the weekends so be sure to book a reservation.
