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.

    My gf and I came in for an early birthday dinner and we were treated with the Valentine's day deals they still had running. It wasn't available on Open Table but when we got there they handed us the Holiday Specials Menu. We got 3 apps, 6 meats, 2 rice bowls, salad and a Fondue Dessert all for a great price! We were both happy with the outcome of the meats and the service was great. Our server took care of us especially when our grill kept dying. We went around 5PM and it was pretty mellow and not until an hour later it started to get packed and busy on a Monday evening.

    Tri-tip is a bit tough. There is a fine line between grilled and burnt shrimp and they seem to cross over to the latter more often than not. Service and ambience is great though.

    My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day this evening at dry Creek Grill. It was our first time visiting this restaurant and it was a very, very pleasant experience. We ordered the beef rib and it was very very tender. Excellent dinner excellent service. Looking forward to coming back with our family. We also had dessert I ordered the chocolate molten cake. It was served with a few raspberries and blackberries perfect balance for the cake. Overall great experience we will be returning soon.
