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.

Wonderful service, food, in a nice setting. The service was attentive and prompt. We ordered a wide variety of foods, including buttered cheese corn, Gyoza dumplings, beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp dishes. The Japanese beer was good as well. This particular location is well run. It was my second time here. I will be back soon.

Love this place, it’s inviting and comfortable, with very friendly and prompt waitstaff, the food is always excellent and service is great, you can either cook your own food right at the table on the hibachi or they will prepare it for you in the kitchen. The menu is extensive and has a huge appetizer menu and freshly made sushi. The server can help you pick out your meat selections and sides, and everything comes to the table nicely prepared. A great place to go with friends and family for dinner or a birthday celebration!!
