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.

5 stars all around! We hesitated to visit Athos, one of our favorites, after the original owner sold and we're sorry we waited so long, it was wonderful! We were greeted cheerfully, our server was very pleasant, accommodating and attentive and did a great job on his first day. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and the food was delicious from start to finish. The pita was warm and fresh and accompaniments tasty. Feta plate, greek salad and lemon chicken soup fresh and delicious. Mains of grilled salmon and lamb kebab with rice and greek potatoes also perfect. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! Clean, delicious fresh food, and excellent service...
