501 Bar and Grill

New mangement as of summer 2020.

We went to brunch and Rick, the manager, walked me through the buffet. They used different utensils for everything. Kayleigh (the chef) confirmed what all was safe. She was also making fresh, custom omelets in the back.

They did stress that it's all prepped in the same kitchen. But I am very sensitive, and did not have any reaction.

The food and mimosas were spectacular! The omelet was AMAZING (I got all of the options for fillings)!

Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable. Double checked on everything! I was able to eat a wide variety of appetizers with my family. I will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

CAUTION ⚠ This restaurant served me pasta that was NOT gluten free!!!!! I asked for a gluten free menu, and was literally holding it in my hands and pointing to my selections when ordering. I noticed the pasta was flat noodles when served, instead of the penne... So I asked the waitress to double check. It was not gluten free! I would have gotten SO sick if it weren't for that weird feeling I had. How ridiculous and unprofessional.

She clearly didn't realize how important this was, and offered to replace it. Duh. When returned, the pasta wasn't even close to being tender... I would have gladly waited another 5 mins to have it taste good! I was so mad... Ultimately saying I did not wish to eat the pasta or pay for it. A manager then came over with a blank look on his face, barely reacting to the situation. The point is... don't have a gluten free menu if you're not going to be careful! That should NEVER happen!!! I now question if the French onion soup was actually gluten free too after a bad stomach ache last night. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Horrible. I asked if the Mac and cheese was normal no spices they told me it's not spicy. I wait 30 mins for my food and they come out and tell me they have to remake it all because they put bread crumbs on it. So I wait again and it's so spicy. They were so confused that I didn't want to eat it and were shocked that I said I wanted something else. Then I get chicken and fries and it costs $17....for plain food when their fancier stuff costs less!!!! Then the manager was no where to be found!!!! NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN.
