We’re not out to take the San Diego beer scene by storm or reinvent the wheel because the truth is, there’s no shortage of good breweries in San Diego.

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.

    Started with wine and crispy burrata - great choice, can't wait to try a different one next time (yes there will be several nexts). He got the Cacio e Pepe, I got the Bucatini a la Pesto. Mine was labeled a favorite and the flavor was off the charts. So good. He finished his entire order, so his was enjoyed as well. We then moved onto the tableside Tiramisu. FANtastic. This place is a gem. We can't wait to make it more of a rotation! Buon Natale!

    It is one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. I have been dining there for years and it has always kept its high standards. It is a family run business and the owners offer a personal touch by speaking with their patrons and offering suggestions, making one feel special. Lovely place and good selection of food for several dietary needs.

    The food was delicious. We had the meat lovers pizza and it was so flavorful. The service was really good too. The noise level was a little high because there was a DJ and a lot of kids with their family. It’s an excellent place for families and we really enjoyed it
