Review of BJ's Brewhouse

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.
