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.

A DOOR IS A PROMISE. THIS ONE KEEPS A SECRET.You expect velvet and a hostess stand. You get a door — crimson, unmarked, the only loud thing on the block. Behind it: a kitchen with real technique and no interest in performing it, a wine list with a mind of its own, and eighty seats in a room you can't see into from the street. On purpose.

    Everything we ate was incredibly delicious. We always get the Caesar salad. The dishes are unique. Some have a little kick. The server was excellent. He requested a glass of wine that I did not care for so he brought me a new wine. Desserts are good as well.

    A beautiful birthday dinner celebration! Our steaks and seafood were prepared perfectly. The server and chef also took care to prepare a dish customized to my food allergies. We were celebrating two birthdays and the staff brought out two generous slices of delicious cake, beautifully presented, complete wiht lit candles--all on their own, without request! It was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Highly recommend Prime & Pearl for special occasions, excellent service, and delicious menu options!

    Good solid meal and great service. Almost everyone had burgers, a couple overcooked (asked for medium rare and came more medium well). Service was good and our waiter was very attentive.
