About BJ's Restaurants

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

BJ's Restaurants is based in Huntington Beach, California and is incorporated in California. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BJRI. The SEC classifies its business as retail-eating places.

In its own words

BJ’s Restaurants is a leading full-service restaurant brand differentiated by a high-quality, varied menu with compelling value, a dining experience that offers our customers (referred to as “guests”) best-in-class service, hospitality and enjoyment, in a high-energy, welcoming and approachable atmosphere. BJ’s is a national restaurant chain that, as of February 27, 2026, owns and operates 219 restaurants located in 31 states.

The first BJ’s restaurant opened in 1978 in Orange County, California, and was a small sit-down pizzeria that featured Chicago style deep-dish pizza with a unique California twist. In 1996, we introduced our proprietary craft beers and expanded the BJ’s concept to a full-service, high-energy restaurant when we opened our first large format restaurant with an on-site brewing operation in Brea, California. Today our restaurants feature a broad menu with approximately 90 menu items designed to offer something for everyone including: slow roasted entrees and wings, EnLIGHTened Entrees® such as our Cherry Chipotle Glazed Salmon, our original signature deep-dish pizza, and the world-famous Pizookie® dessert. We also offer our award-winning BJ’s craft beers, which are produced at four in-house brewing facilities, two standalone brewpubs and by independent third-party brewers using our proprietary recipes, alongside a full bar featuring innovative cocktails.
