Delicious food cooked safely. We ordered the gf cheese pizza and a gf chocolate chip pizzano. It came cooked in its own pan with a sealed container of vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed it with no ill effects and 2 of us have celiac disease. My daughter is very sensitive and if she’s cross contaminated or eats gluten she knows before she’s even out of the restaurant.
I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience but…My daughter has celiacs so eating out is a struggle, especially on the road. We picked BJ's bc they have gf buns. But they went above and beyond for my daughter. Our server Deja HANDCUT her French fries and then oven cooked them so there was no cross contamination with the fryers and had their manager cook her onions and mushrooms bc the kitchen was busy and she wanted to make sure it was right. I couldn't have asked for a better server or food for her!
Had a burger on a gf bun and was fine! The fries are NOT gluten free, but they’ll let you substitute it for something else.

Considering how sick i got immediatkey after eating here id say avoid this place at all costs. The server was clueless in general. Spoke to the manager and was told the meal was gluten free and they used separate containers from the fridge instead of the currently in use on the line. So sick. I'm on vacation and day 1 I'm so sick. This is the only place I've eaten outside of my home since the start of the trip. I'd like to be able to give a negative star!!!
Great food! Many many gluten free options. The gluten free bun was very tasty and the gluten free pizzookie was the best gluten free thing I have had in years. My kids raced me for bites! Highly recommend!
Good chain overall. GF items are marked on the menu. They generally also have an allergen list at the desk. This place is one of my safe standbys while traveling.
In general the chain is pretty consistent. You have to ask for their GF/Allergen list menu. If you are more Paleo a great option is the quinoa bowl BUT they have added rice to it recently BUT you can request quinoa only and they will oblige. Just emphasize no rice. Some servers are clueless now as to what gluten, dairy and grains are. So be explicit. I wonder if they are no longer training per the requirements of the Gluten Intolerance Group.
pizzookie is what brings me there! I usually order to-go because it takes FOREVER to get through a meal in that restaurant. make sure they actually give you a gluten free pizzookie (I've accidentally been given a regular one before)
I ordered the gluten-free pizza to-go. The pizza is thin crust and comes with sauce and cheese. Each additional topping is $1.00 extra or $2.00 extra for grilled chicken. I only added grilled chicken and green peppers, because I thought the toppings were overpriced. Overall, I enjoyed the pizza. I always eat very healthy, so this pizza was good to me.
Staff was helpful, no printed GF menu available. The GF pizzas was good but not your traditional expectation of pizza. And the GF chocolatechip pazookie dessert was DElICIOUS but SUPER rich. I would go back.
Upon returning to Baton Rouge after living in Knoxville for 7 years, I was excited to find a brewhouse with a gluten free menu. After arriving, I was dissapointed that the beer was Redbridge in a bottle...they didn't even offer me a glass with it. The waiter knew absolutely nothing about the gluten free menu options and I had to ask twice for a menu. We waited 30 minutes to get our drinks there and my beer wasn't cold. The gluten free pizza was good, but pricey because I had to pay for each topping separately. After dinner, the waiter brought us our check without asking if we wanted dessert, and we had to wait 15 minutes to find him again and tell him. The pizzookie was RAW and disgusting. I couldn't even eat it. They didn't offer any apologies. He brought us the check again and walked away so we never got the coffee that we wanted. We questioned the waiter about this and all he could say was that it was company policy to bring the check out early to keep the people moving. All in all, we were there for 2 1/2 hours with all the waiting-boy that's really keeping them moving! I NEVER write reviews-EVER but this place was the worst. I will never return there again.
Dessert was awesome! Balsamic chicken without the onion strings - chicken was a tad dry but otherwise yummy. Staff very knowledgeable.
Staff was knowledgeable and we were in there on a slow night. Pizza wasn't the best but the pizzookie was great!!

Will definitely be back! They took extra precautions which was very appreciated!
I don’t necessarily think the “gluten sensitive” options are the safest in general for celiac but I’ve had good luck with the salmon bowl with quinoa rice & cauliflower rice, it’s excellent. Make sure you do baked, not blacked due to cross contact. Anything else I’ve ordered from pizza to burgers I’ve had reactions. So I’ll stick to this one item.
I safely order the Hickey Brisket & Bacon burger once a month. I get a gluten free bun and mashed potatoes. No fries, not safe. And I have gotten the gluten free pazookie with ice cream in the to go cups on the side. Went this week and no problems again. Nima tested it the first time and continue to trust it since.
I love BJ’s. I have hashimoto’s and do not have to worry about cross contamination as someone with celiac disease. They have a separate gluten free menu. You have two pages of items to choose from. The food has always been delicious. The pazooki is yummy.
Not safe for those with celiac.
