Our Story

Hello friends and neighbors!

We are proud to introduce a new restaurant concept to West Linn, B.J. Willy’s Public House & Eatery. We are not a franchise, or a cookie-cutter, mega-restaurant chain that you find in other retail locations. We are a small, locally-owned and operated establishment looking to serve a fresh approach to casual, yet sophisticated dining in the community. We selected West Linn because of its friendly reputation, people and the way of life the town represents. We hope to meet you all soon!

Our concept grew out of a single vision from two Oregonians, to bring an upscale, yet casual neighborhood setting for friends and family to gather. We look to offer a great variety of food to please any palate, without breaking the bank. We strive to be the quintessential ‘hang out’, where friends come in more often than just special occasions. In a nutshell, we aim to be the best family-oriented, neighborhood-friendly and value-driven eatery in the area.

Our unusual name is derived from nicknames given the two partners many moons ago. Brian Johnson is appropriately B.J., while Jeff Williamson is best known as Willy. Combining their nicknames with Public House & Eatery is our way of showing commitment to the establishment. In fact, at least one if not both of us can be found on-site most hours of operation.

We want to personally invite you to come in, have fun and relax in our local public house and eatery. And if you like what we do, how we do it for you, or something you saw while dining with us, please let us know.
