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 customer service stands out almost as much as the great food. I went a month ago. Came back and the majority of staff recognized us and spoke like family. My favorite place for date night.

    Tahoe Joe's Wood Grilled Chicken and Joe's Steak slow-roasted tri-tip are our favorites! We love the salted crunchy-skinned baked potato with copious amounts of butter and chives, and the Champagne Vinaigrette can't be beat! The BBQ sauce for the gluten-free customer and the Whisky Peppercorn sauce for others, are superb! Top it off with great ambiance, dim lights at a private table, and the class and accent of server "Sergio" who makes the evening elevated to fine dining and personable. Sergio is there to serve you with special needs and adds to the experience to make it a delighful evening.
