BJ's Brewhouse

We've traveled all over the country. This BJs is awful. It takes forever to get our food and my celiac hubby has been glutened twice. We won't go back.

Had one of the best gluten free buns for burgers I’ve ever tried! I was also pleasantly surprised to find out they offer a GF Pizookie (basically a large chocolate chip cookie) and they also have separately sealed containers of vanilla ice cream to go with it to avoid cross contamination.

The only downside was that the server did not inform me that the fries and tortilla chips are made in the same fryer as the breaded items (so side options are pretty limited). It was an overall great experience though!

Delicious, good about gf and contamination risks. Fries are not an option due to the contamination which sucks. The broccoli cheddar soup is gf and so freakin good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I questioned my waiter about items listed on the menu as being gluten-free but not celiac safe. He graciously asked the kitchen manager who informed him that they are not celiac safe. I definitely appreciated their honest.

Ordered what the server said was gluten free (shrimp and quinoa meal), quinoa came out uncooked and there were spices on the shrimp. Sick 30 mins later. CC nightmare!

Celiac friendly?

No

Had dinner there tonight. Ordered a burger that was labeled GF on their menu. Asked if the fries are GF. Server said she’d check and if they are do I want them? I said yes. She brought me the burger and fries. Fries were crispy and I thought wow, these are great! Now tonight I’m HORRIBLY SICK. I asked another person I ate dinner with what they thought of the fries and they said they definitely seemed breaded because they were so crispy. DO NOT trust them to even do what they say! She said she’d check if they were GF. CLEARLY, they were not. I’m so so sick now. Very disappointed

I was traveling to NC and stayed in Fredericksburg on my way there and on my way home. I went to BJ's Brewhouse both times. I ordered the GF pizza on both occasions. It was really good!! I did not get sick. The waiter told me they prepare it in a separate area with separate utensils. I also had the GF free chocolate chip cookie desert with ice cream and it was delicious!! The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I wish we had this place near me I'd eat there all the time! Thanks

Celiac friendly?

Ate here with my wife, who needs to be GF, and had great pepperoni pizza with a fresh baked chocolate chip topped with ice cream. Get the "Sweet Baby Jesus" stout, too. Great service/atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free pizza ever and no egg in the crust either! Good cocktails and atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Regular menu clearly lists GF items. One page GF menu available on request. I had "fire roasted barbacoa chicken" entree. Great! Have GF bun for burgers. Have GF pizza. Had 2 GF beers available. Service was excellent!

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.
