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.

    Our experience overall was an A. I ordered the Prime Rib, it would have been perfect if it had been warmer. The medium-rare piece was more rare. Otherwise everything else including our waitperson, Jamie, was outstanding. When we get back to Pittsburgh in March we will plan on returning to BJ’s. Your staff at the entrance on Thursday, Friday, & Sunday were friendly & welcoming.

    We went for a ladies night out. I along with another person at the table got the Mediterranean bowl with chicken. The chicken was like a rubber eraser but the real problem was the portion size. The salad had a very good flavor but it was the size of a side dish. It was listed as a full meal. It was so small it didn’t fill even half the bowl. Very very disappointed.

    Hi Gina. We are so sorry to hear about your experience with your food. We wouldn't like that either! We will address this with our team. On your next visit, if there is anything about your experience that can be improved, please let our onsite managers know so that we can do our best to make it right in the restaurant, on the spot!

    The restaurant was busy and we had to wait a reasonable amount of time despite our reservation. Service was prompt and efficient. Beverages arrived quickly. Food was served hot. A good experience tonight.

    Our table near the door was too cold when the door was opened. We asked to move to another table further from the door and our request was promptly taken care of. Great, attentive staff and service.

    Irene, we appreciate your feedback! We're glad our team was able to accommodate your request and ensure you had a comfortable experience. Your comments about the cold table help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable visit.
