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.

    Service was outstanding We bring 6 people prior to theater event- open table makes it easy to be seated. We have our favorite dishes and the dinner specials are perfect. Now pazookies are included with some. Everyone is pleased with the experience.

    I like the atmosphere and BJ’s in La Jolla! We sat outside under heating. Had a good server and we spent about two hours over there. Other BJ’s are not as popular as this. Thank you!

    Got my girlfriend’s order wrong. Said they’d comp it plus the pizookie. Check comes and it still has the item on it. Pizookie we ordered was not as pictured either. 2/5 stars. My food was good.

    It's BJ's, overall good food and fun! Really busy, late in seating us for a reservation by 20 minutes. The food overall is very good, and it's a popular place, kids especially enjoy it there! However it was almost 2 hours from arrival to being done, I don't blame the server, she was overwhelmed, and very nice. The place needs a good cleaning.

    Thank you for your feedback, Lynn. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and atmosphere! We apologize for the wait and the cleanliness issues you experienced. Your comments help us improve, and we’re committed to enhancing our service. We hope to provide a better experience next time.
