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.

    Boku is THE spot! Workers show they care and are the sweetest! And does not hurt the wallet!! Things I would recommend: PORK NOODLES: amazing! something new that i’ve never tried but definitely hit all my cravings. GENERAL BOB CHICKEN: this is definitely my favorite thing they serve, the chicken taste so fresh and so real, and a side of fried rice makes it even better. This would be on my death row meal! SPICY NOODLES: so delicious, but definitely do not buy if you can’t handle the heat, my boyfriend was in tears… lol. but i devoured with love! PEACHES AND CREAM YAZU: not sure if that’s the exact name but this dessert will make you feel like grandmas hugging you! i still dream about the next day ill see this dessert! Overall this place is top tier, the atmosphere is beautiful, the food is yummy, and the prices are accurate! They are inclusive and accommodating! I LOVE BOKU!!
