BJ's Brewhouse: Where Pizza, protein bowls, and mocktails shine!
As a (choice) non-dairy, gluten-free diner, I’m used to scanning menus with a wary eye—but at BJ’s, I hit the can always find something. Their mocktail lineup is super, making me feel just as fancy as any cocktail-sipping patron. The salmon protein bowl? Perfection. Warm, hearty, and delicious—so good I couldn’t even finish it.
Shoutout to Chloe for her stellar service, handling two teens, two tweens, and our enthusiastic table like a pro. It was a great outing, filled with happy vibes and full bellies. BJ’s, you’re officially on my favorites list!
We kicked things off with an appetizer spree: mozzarella sticks, avocado egg rolls, and chips with queso. I get is a basic order but, all hits, no misses. And then came dessert—brace yourselves—the gluten-free Pizookie. it’s like a cozy hug in dessert form.
If you come on the weekend, pleas order the pork chop. Seriously delish
Ordered a gluten free Chicken Rustica pizza, as I had it at another location and it was great. This location - not even close! The crust was cracker thin, and burnt!! I don’t send food back, so I ate around the burnt crust as I could. Part way through the meal, I started having major discomfort. Obviously the pizza was either not 100% gluten free, or had cross contamination with non-gluten free items in the kitchen.
When I showed the waitress the burnt crust, and mentioned that she should talk to the chef about not burning the crust - she took it back to ‘show the chef’. Not a sorry, not a discount, not a comp, nothing to even be a decent human and make up for the bad meal.
Add to the mess, my daughters slice of cheese and pepperoni was DROWNING in grease! Took 2 paper napkins to get rid of it all.
I understand the burnt crust and grease pool is not the waitress’s fault, however she should have attempted to make it right.
The BBQ sauce is gluten free and has a decent flavor. It does contain some corn syrup though. The meats are all gluten free, some sides were gluten free and some weren't and there seemed to be a little confusion about which ones were safe.
The brisket was good, I would say better than spring creek or rudys. The beans were good, I think I like Rudy's and midway's beans better, but there was nothing wrong with the ones at Roegels. The ribs were pretty tasty, better than Rudys' spring creek, or midway.
Overall it didn't blow me away but it was a decent place, the ribs and briekt were above average, and we would make it a part of our regular rotation.
Ally was great and super helpful! She paid attention to my gluten allergy and even brought my food out separately so there wasn’t much cross contamination. :) I truly appreciate her!
The waitress was really nice and the vibes were great too! Loved that they have gluten free options, which is so hard to find but they add (gf) next to all items that are GF! They also have GF soy sauce. So thank you to a considerate owner. The drinks are good as well so they have a full package for a perfect date night, girls night, or bday party.
