The food was delicious! The drinks were also delicious! Food is moderately priced, but the drinks are quite expensive! Guacamole was plentiful and very tasty! Our server was extremely helpful and personable! First time at blind and we would come again!

Creative and delicious food with many options for the vegans out there, kind, almost supportive service, and a very very chill vibe with a groovy playlist on the sound system. Great coffee, too. Really enjoyed going to The Plot, and will be back as soon as I'm able.

True Foods is one of my favorite restaurants. They are able to cater to my gluten and dairy allergies with healthy food options that are delicious. Their burgers are excellent, as is everything else I’ve tried. Our server today was attentive, very helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.

First time dining at Mas Fuego. Local resident from the area. Went before our movie started(located next to the movie theater.) The Eloté corn was ok, served on a stick...was served somewhat cold, not hot. :-/ Moved on to the tacos, one order has 2 tacos, and we shared the baja fish tacos and portobello mushroom tacos. Very good!!! We also shared the charred cauliflower, also recommended. They have a good cocktail list and happy hour prices. I will say that the menu is fairly limited, so I would take a look-see before you go. Our server was great. A good place to go before a movie, so we will go back for another try.

About the restaurant

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.
