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.

Ashli was our server and she was personable and professional. We had the harvest salad, which was delicious, as were the sand dabs. We would definitely recommend Tonto Bar and Grille.

What cute and quiet place for brunch. We sat outside on the patio. Food was reasonably priced and so delicious. My friend and I shared the lobster benedict, avocado toast, and pancakes. We will definitely be back. Sierra, our server was very friendly.
