About the restaurant

Experience dining like never before in our unique restaurant, set in a former concrete wine storage tank. Unwind on our charming terrace, reminiscent of an Italian Piazza, with a refreshing craft cocktail or a glass of wine expertly selected by our sommelier. Our eclectic menu features locally-sourced, seasonal dishes, all prepared from scratch.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi. Conveniently located just off the Lodi wine trail in Lockeford, California, we are the perfect stop halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, 1/2 mile west off scenic Hwy 88.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of local ingredients and culinary innovation.

About the restaurant

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.
