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.

Christmas dinner with friends could not have been more perfect. It is rare that every bite and every sip is excellent; yet, this was the case during this dinner. Service was present, timely, and efficient, but not disruptive. And the view… well, you are not going to beat that anywhere else in the city. Great location for a special occasion, and the bill was not a mortgage payment. Great experience and value.

BJ's service and food were very good. Our waitress was very helpful in letting us know about specials being offered. She came back just enough to check on everything. I would recommend this BJ's restaurant in Florence, Ky.
