BJ’s Gluten-Free Menu: Labeled Items and Options

BJ’s lists gluten information in two places: a Gluten Sensitive Options section on the menu, and an allergen guide titled Food Allergen Sensitivities Menu and Gluten-Free Selections. “Gluten-free” means BJ’s labels the item that way in its allergen guide.

“Gluten sensitive” means the menu lists a version of a regular dish made for gluten-sensitive guests. A third group is regular dishes the guide lists with no wheat or gluten marks, and no label of either kind. To browse everything else, see the full BJ’s menu with prices and calories.

The clearest orders are the gluten-free labeled pizzas and the Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pizookie. The Gluten Sensitive Options section and the dishes with no wheat or gluten marks add more choices, with the shared-kitchen limits below.

What BJ’s Says About Cross-Contact

BJ’s publishes the full table in its official allergen guide. BJ’s says “we cannot guarantee that a menu item will be completely allergen free.” The rest of the warning says its kitchens use shared preparation areas, utensils and cooking equipment, including common fryer oil, and asks guests to tell their server about any food allergy or sensitivity.

Beyond Celiac, a national celiac disease nonprofit, lists shared fryers among the common spots where cross-contact happens in a kitchen. A dish can start with no gluten ingredients and still pick up gluten during cooking.

This article covers wheat and gluten only. The guide also marks eggs, milk, soy and other allergens, so check those too if they apply to you.

What BJ’s Labels Gluten-Free

BJ’s Gluten-Free Pizzas

Prices at our reference restaurant, Virginia Gateway. Prices vary by location.

The guide also lists 14 toppings with no wheat or gluten marks when served on the gluten-free crust, including mushrooms, onions, pineapple, smoked bacon and Italian sausage.

The gluten-free bun: The guide lists a Gluten-Free Bun as a burger add-on. It does not list any burger as served on that bun. The Gluten Sensitive Options section below covers the burger versions the menu offers.

The gluten-free pizookie: The Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pizookie is the dessert BJ’s labels gluten-free. It is $9.49 at Virginia Gateway. BJ’s lists 1,210 calories for the full size and 610 for the Mini. The item page for the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pizookie has the full details, and our pizookie flavor ranking shows how it compares with the regular flavors.

The Gluten Sensitive Options Section

This section of the menu lists gluten-sensitive versions of regular dishes. Examples on the menu now include the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, four burgers (Classic Burger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Hickory Brisket and Bacon Burger, and Bacon-Guacamole Deluxe Burger), four salads (House Salad, House Caesar, Chicken Caesar, and Santa Fe Salad), and the Fresh Atlantic Salmon.

At Virginia Gateway, the four gluten-sensitive burgers are each $1.99 more than the regular versions, and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip costs the same ($16.49). Prices vary by location.

The allergen guide does not break out separate allergen marks for these versions. It marks the regular dishes only. Confirm the details of any gluten-sensitive version with your restaurant before you order.

The Gluten Sensitive Options section on our homepage collects these dishes and their prices in one place.

Other Dishes Listed With No Wheat or Gluten Marks

BJ’s does not label the dishes below gluten-free. The allergen guide simply lists each one with no wheat mark and no other gluten mark. BJ’s allergen guide uses its own item names.

Starter Salads

Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Salad; House Wedge Salad. The guide marks the house salad differently in different rows, so ask for the Gluten-Sensitive House Salad and confirm with your restaurant.

Steaks, Chops, and Ribs

BJ’s Classic Rib-Eye; Double Bone-In Pork Chop (a weekend special); Prime Rib. The guide lists no allergens at all for the Classic Rib-Eye. That means no marks in the table. It is not a promise.

Sides

Baked Potato; Loaded Baked Potato; White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes; Loaded Mashed Potatoes; Garlic-Roasted Vegetables; Asparagus; Broccoli. Fries are not in this list.

BJ’s Brewhouse Bowl

All seven versions are listed with no wheat or gluten marks: vegetarian, blackened chicken, oven-roasted chicken, blackened salmon, oven-roasted salmon, blackened shrimp, and grilled shrimp. The guide also lists a Tri-Tip version, but that version carries a wheat mark, so ask your server.

Chef-Crafted Salads

Only one of the chef-crafted salads is listed with no wheat or gluten marks: the Enlightened Strawberry Fields Salad. The rest carry wheat or other gluten marks, usually in dressings, croutons or tortilla strips. Several dressings on their own are listed with no wheat or gluten marks, including Italian, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Caesar, Bleu Cheese and Honey Mustard. A dressing with no marks does not clear the rest of a salad.

Desserts

Ice cream: the guide lists Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with no wheat or gluten marks. Check which flavors your restaurant serves in the Ice Cream Cup.

Kids: Kids Chicken Breast; Kids Fresh Fruit; Kids Steamed Broccoli; Kids White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes; Kids Sundae.

Menu Sections With No Gluten-Free Listing

The allergen guide does not list most appetizers, burgers, wings, pastas and soups as free of wheat and gluten. The same holds for the handhelds, the soup and salad combo, the deep dish pizzas and the tavern-cut pizzas. Their listings carry wheat or gluten marks, or both.

Even the bone-in and boneless wings on their own carry a wheat mark, before any sauce is added.

The Gluten Sensitive Options section still lists gluten-sensitive versions of some dishes from these groups, such as the dip and the four burgers named above. Those versions have no separate marks in the guide, so confirm with your restaurant.

Two sauces need a question at the table. The sauce rows and the combo rows are not marked the same way. Ask your server about Honey BBQ and BJ’s Peppered BBQ.

Gluten-Free Choices in the $13 Pizookie Meal Deal

Of the eight entrees in the $13 Pizookie Meal Deal, the allergen guide lists one with no wheat or gluten marks: the Enlightened Mediterranean Chicken Bowl. The deal also offers a Strawberry Fields Salad with Chicken. The guide lists the Strawberry Fields Salad without chicken, so it gives no marks for the deal version. The other six entrees carry wheat or gluten marks.

How to Order

• Tell your server about the allergy or sensitivity before you order.
• Ask how the dish is cooked, not only what is in it. BJ’s kitchens share preparation areas, utensils and fryer oil, so no dish comes with a guarantee.
• Ask your server to confirm sauces and dressings, because the guide does not mark every version of a dish.
• Check the current allergen guide before you go. BJ’s states that supplier ingredients and preparation methods may change without notice.

FAQ

Does BJ’s have a gluten-free menu?

Partly. The menu has a Gluten Sensitive Options section with gluten-sensitive versions of regular dishes. The allergen guide labels a small set of items gluten-free and marks wheat and other gluten for everything else.

What does BJ’s say about celiac disease?

BJ’s makes no promise for celiac disease. Its guide says no menu item can be guaranteed completely allergen free, because kitchens use shared preparation areas, utensils and cooking equipment, including common fryer oil. This is not medical advice. Ask your doctor if you have celiac disease.

Is the Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pizookie gluten-free?

BJ’s labels it gluten-free, in full and mini sizes.

Can I order a burger on the gluten-free bun?

The guide lists a gluten-free bun as an add-on, and it gives no burger separate marks when served on that bun. The menu’s Gluten Sensitive Options section lists four burgers as gluten-sensitive versions. Confirm the details with your restaurant before you order.

Are BJ’s fries gluten-free?

Fries are not listed with no wheat or gluten marks in the allergen guide.

The Short Version

The clearest orders are the labeled pizzas and the Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pizookie. The Gluten Sensitive Options section adds burgers, salads and a dip in gluten-sensitive versions. Steaks, Brewhouse Bowl versions and the listed sides widen the choice.
