Review of BJ's Brewhouse

June 19, 2023- Passing through Allentown, PA, I ate a GF dinner at this restaurant and did not get sick. However, my experience was not great at all. All that I wanted was a salad. I told my server that I needed a GF meal and also told him that the gluten sensitive items on the menu did not match the gluten sensitive items on the website. The server brought back the manager. Contrary to other reviews for this location, the manager was rude and not accommodating. He was unwilling to address any of the items listed on the website because the photos did not match. I wanted a BBQ chicken salad that would not have the gluten containing onion straws. I could not get it and the only reason given was that the website showed a photo of a wedge salad. I was disappointed. What if I had done the online ordering? What would I have gotten? Instead, I ordered a brew house salmon bowl. It was tasty and GF, but not what I wanted. Overall bad experience.

I'm providing the website menu for gluten sensitive items for what it is worth.
