Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable staff. Every server I’ve ever had here knew what Celiac Disease was, and assured me they have separate dedicated gluten free prep areas, and even separate containers of anything that could be a source of cross contamination. Their gluten free pizza is by far the best gluten free pizza I have had, and is the only gluten free restaurant pizza to have never made me sick. The gluten free pizookie is not quite as good as I remember the regular pizookie being, but it is nice to not feel deprived as everyone else at the table is digging in.

Never had bad food here.

Got sick an hour later

Visiting El Paso for work, not many celiac safe options. I ate here twice and had the salmon quinoa bowl. It was healthy and tasty, I did not get “glutened”. They even had a GF pizookie, but I’m dairy free so I didn’t order.

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.

Usually BJ's is good, but just as a heads up I got glutened last time I was here. The cooks had been using a palette knife to put aioli on all the burgers, so the whole lot was contaminated with crumbs and gluten before they put any aioli on my burger.

Be wary of sauce that's not from a bottle!

Ordered a cup of soup and it came out with croutons on it. While they fixed the issue, the service was sub par and the food is average. By far, the best thing about BJ’s is the gluten free pazookie!
