US-based restaurant chain BJ's Restaurants has introduced nine new items to its menu in the US market.

The company stated that its BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse brand is refreshing its menu to include new savoury starters, cocktails and new take-out and delivery specials.

The restaurant brand has added three new savoury items to its menu, including Hickory Brisket Nachos.

For a salty bar snack, BJ's kitchen and brewing teams have introduced the Big Twist Pretzel with Beer Cheese, which is a soft, warm pizza-oven-baked pretzel with a side of BJ's Brewhouse Blonde beer cheese, topped with a side of honey Dijon mustard.

Its new menu updates include the original Buffalo Stampede Chicken Pasta, comprising crispy chicken over pasta tossed in a creamy, spicy buffalo sauce and drizzled with ranch dressing.

BJ's has also extended its beverage lineup with four creative takes on the classic Margarita.

The lineup includes White Peach Boba-Rita, Spicy Mango Margarita, Casamigos Watermelon Margarita and Grand Patrón Margarita.

Additionally, the restaurant has announced the launch of the Cheeseburger Pizza and Chicken Tortilla Pasta, available through takeout and delivery.

The restaurant company has also relaunched its Peanut Butter S'mores Pizookie.

BJ's Restaurants marketing senior vice-president Heidi Rogers said: "BJ's fans have spoken and we are excited to not only bring back our most-coveted seasonal flavour, Peanut Butter S'mors but also expand our menu with crave-able new dishes and innovative cocktails.

"We have a feeling BJ's guests will be thrilled with these unique and fun additions that promise to enhance the BJ's experience and become new fan favourites."
