Review


Each BJ has pretty mixed reviews, decided this one seemed safer from others, still got glutened. I don’t have issues with cross contamination but do have issues consuming gluten. I followed their online guide and all the food served seemed gluten free. I still had a bad reaction. I think the company just has no idea what they are doing. I noticed a GF labeled salad had couscous which is made from wheat, this gave me doubt on their labels. Ordered a GF bun with my burger and mashed potatoes, I felt gross within moments. Don’t know which it was, just know I wouldn’t risk going to this chain again. Edit: Worst gluten reaction I’ve had in a VERY long time

Had a GF burger. The waitress had no idea. She knew I was coeliac and have me coated fries. I had to look at the allergies list on their website to confirm their fries were not GF.

Got sick that night and I am quite mild symptomatically.

They have a scaled down menu during the pandemic, with limited gluten free options. I used to enjoy dining here, but feel that they have really reduced their gluten free offerings.

There burgers aren’t on the GF menu, but they are GF if you get a GF Bun and carefully select your toppings. Bummed that no fries are GF, not that the chips are GF.

Love this place! I like to go on Sundays to watch football. The pizza is delicious and the pear cider is fantastic. Not to mention the gluten free pizookie (warm cookie with ice cream).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Negative: needs more options and less worry about GF contamination. No GF tortilla chips is ridiculous when you have a place that asserts GF choices. Tough to be only to order a few items out of the many items on the menu. Positive: GF pizza, beer n dessert.

This place is great!! The service is fantastic, and the items on their gluten-free menu are delicious! I can tell that the kitchen staff is very knowledgable too, because when my server went to the kitchen to find out if the tortilla chips were 100% corn, she back with the answer of yes, but there could be cross-contamination from the oil they are fried in.

Always had great experiences at this location. The pizza is really great and I know several people who prefer it over their wheat crust because its not so heavy. I also like that the GF pizza is a different shape so I don't have to worry if I have the right food.

There is a separate GF menu. The staff is knowledgeable and the person who delivered my meal also has celiac. I have a pepper and potato allergy as well as gluten. A person from the kitchen came out to confirm my order. I felt safe and the food was very good.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well both my waitress and the kitchen staff understood the need to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen with my food! The food was carefully made under the head cooks guidance, they marked it, and brought it out separately to ensure that nothing would happen to it while preparing other foods. My hamburger was delicious and I even enjoyed the gluten free bun they gave me!

Best of all, I never once got sick from it after we left! I'd go back again!

I went to Bj’s Brewhouse and had the Baja bowl with only vegetables. About 30 minutes after eating I got very ill. I’ve eaten there a few other times, but had pizza or salad. I didn’t get sick any of those times.

I wish I could give zero stars. Told the waiter twice I have celiacs, he brought out my food and I took one bite and knew it was gluten. Do not come if you have celiac I got sick eating here.
