Ordered an appetizer and an entree from the gluten sensitive menu. After waiting an hour, both were brought out made non gluten free.

They were great about substituting my sons children mini burger buns for a GF bun. There GF pizza crust is also really good. They even put our sons fries on the side in a different plate because they didn’t originally mention they don’t have a separate frier. Overall it was good food but not safe for celiacs

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.

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.

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

We ordered in and specified in the app that it was incredibly important to use safe surfaces and separate gluten and non gluten foods in different boxes, due to celiac. We also called ahead to double check. They assured us that they always did that. We ordered three mini pizookies, one gluten free. When it arrived the pizookies were all in the same bag, with the gluten free one sandwiched between the regular ones. We were really upset by this, so the manager comped our food and said the kitchen would be undergoing additional training. I wouldn’t go here again and I worry for anyone with celiac who does.

GF options were good and the food was good. Unfortunately I got glutened and was very sick after eating there. I think it was the salad dressing. When I asked which dressings were GF the server didn’t know. She went and asked and said they all were. Being that this is a rare occurrence, I should have avoided having any of the dressings, but I made a bad call and had a side salad anyway. Unsure if I would try to eat there again or not.

They had a separate menu for gluten allergy customers and was happy to see a variety of options although, they do not have an independent fryer. Food was delicious and enjoyed every bite.

They offer a GF menu. They have pizza and GF buns. No separate fryer. But a GF chocolate chip cookie with ice cream.

I had the lunch special. GF cheese burger with baked potato and the special comes with the GF cookie and ice cream. All was very good.

I requested and was given a gluten-free menu with several choices. I had the gluten-free thin crust pizza. Very yummy! Food was served quick even though they were packed.
