Service here usually leaves something to be desired (long wait times) and GF wise it seems ok. One time had a salad which wasn’t the best tasting (too much dressing) but we got the GF pizookie which was bomb! The server at the time we had was very knowledgeable about Celiac (young guy, I think his name was James or Ryan?) and made sure to talk to the kitchen for me. Even for the ice cream for the pizookie, he said the big carton of ice cream can get crumbs in it from scooping for the regular pizookie so he brought me a separate little sealed container of ice cream. I felt so appreciated! I also felt fine after. Another time I went to try the GF pizza. They assured me it was cooked in its own separate pan from the gluten pizzas. It tasted great. I’m not positive I didn’t get cross contaminated though. I was feeling a little stomach pangs and bloating, though could have been from the garlic. There was a fair bit and I’m sensitive to that as well. I think I’d say for another Celiac it’s maybe worth trying!

Safe food ... GF pizza, pizookie and Strongbow bottled cider. All delicious! However, the service was very slow. We were there hours. Went twice over our recent trip to So. California.

Always very nice and you NEED to order the GF Pazookie... It tastes just like a non GF cookie so if you're sharing with anyone (or have picky kids) they won't know the difference

Pizzookie!!! The pizza is pretty good, not great, but hits the spot when other GF pizzas aren't available. The allergen menu is helpful, but doesn't distinguish wheat from gluten (wheat is always gluten, but not all gluten is wheat). Redbridge is available if you want a beer. Staff seems well trained to deal with allergies

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.
