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!

I feel sick. Very sick. Ordered a gf pizza and gf golden beets. Don't know how this happened as I notified server. Super disappointed as I ate here before and did just fine.

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

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!

I love their burgers/sandwiches. The server did warn me that the fries are cooked in a shared fryer, but it didn’t make me sick. So I guess they must change their oil out frequently or something.

I really love BJ’s as an easy place to eat out. They’re super knowledgeable about gf things and while I didn’t ask about specific practices, as soon as I said I had celiac’s, the server reassured me. And honestly the food tastes great. I had a burger and the gluten-free pizookie and it was delicious! My ice cream was even served from a brand new package to be extra safe. Didn’t get sick, would definitely come back.

Gluten Sensitive Option items marked on menu (appetizers, salads, entrees). Gluten free buns available for burgers. Gluten free pizza option. I had a Strawberry fields chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It was average good.

The service was horrible, we felt like we were at an invisible table. The large group that arrived well after we ordered received their food before ours. And our 3 orders came out piece meal from the kitchen. We had to ask multiple times for items we ordered, for refills and for our change once we paid the bill.
