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.

    We arrived about 20 minutes early with the hopes of having a drink before going to our table. The staff was very accommodating, especially when we asked to have the drinks on the patio instead of at the bar. When the music began, it was a little loud affecting conversation somewhat. But overall we were very pleased!

    We went to brunch at Westside Grill to celebrate the birthday of a family member. None of us had been there for brunch before. Our server was excellent, was very attentive to our table. The food was really good, and in fact, there were so many options to choose from that it was hard to get a taste of everything. I would definitely go there again.
