BJ's Brewhouse

I spent time researching the menu items online before going and I ordered things that were on the GF menu (a salad and GF piezookie). When my piezookie was brought to my table the ice cream was in a carton so I put it on my piezookie and started eating it. I assumed they brought it that way so it wouldn’t melt as fast. I was about halfway done when the waitress said “you know the ice cream isn’t gluten free, right?”. I had never heard of plain vanilla ice cream containing gluten. Their online menu says the ice cream is safe for people eating gluten free so I don’t know if they changed distributors or what, but I was annoyed that nobody told me that before I started eating it since I mentioned celiac disease.

— Below Average

Tried here one night. Ordered off gluten free menu a steak, steamed broccoli with no seasonings/butter, and a baked potato with no butter/toppings. Sad to say I got glutened. Guessing cross contamination came from the grill.

Celiac friendly?

No

I thought I'd be safe since I ate there just fine at another location, but I had the same gluten free pizza and got sick almost immediately. It tasted good, but was not worth the stomach and gut pain that followed.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Ordered the burger with gluten free bun. Looked too good to be true, but receipt (was a to go order) said gluten free in huge letter so I thought oh surely... Nope. So sick

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.
