BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

The waitresses/waiters are always so nice! However we HARDLY EVER eat out due to gluten/dairy allergies. My oldest daughter wanted BJ’s for her birthday so we went. We stressed my twins allergies and made sure our waitress knew as soon as we ordered. She’s said she completely understood because her mom also had celiac. Her knowing the severity and us stressing I thought it would be ok. We ordered from the Gluten Free menu stressing that version no toppings. My 12 year old didn’t catch the butter that was on the salmon. Within 2 bites was instantly sick. These issues carry over and wreck her body for the entire day! Anyone who has celiac knows the danger! It was served to her at the normal recipe throwing her into a painful evening. I knew better than to eat out. We don’t for this exact reason but wanted to for our oldest. Next time we’ll pack her own food to make sure. I’m only leaving this review to help anyone who may be ordering specialty menu items. Allergies are NOT taken seriously. Inspect your food first! Cross contamination or food allergies may be ignored! It’s not worth the evening that follows! The rest of the food and service was wonderful! I didn’t say anything while we were there until after we paid. Our bill was over $200 we weren’t wanting anything off and understand accidents happen. As a mama who couldn’t help my child from the aftermath I felt I needed to warn others that may have allergies!

Anyone with gluten allergies beware! Had a "gluten free" pizookie that obviously was not given the violent allergic reaction that followed. Not ok!
