Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant & Butik

I have to give them a little credit for having gluten free bread available.. but I would not recommend this for anyone with celiac. My food was smushed together with plates of pancakes. I would never have eaten here if I hadn’t been with a group. I got sick. Wish I had trusted my instincts and not eaten here.

No GF marked on the menu, but they note “Gluten Free Substitutions” available at the bottom of the menu. I did two eggs and potatoes (they are naturally GF, but not sure if they share griddle space with anything that isn’t). Overall, happy to at least have a decently safe option there so I can join my family there! Bummer that they don’t have more GF options, but it’s worth a limited GF offering to be able to enjoy the ambiance and experience!

It’s fine. As mentioned it’s a bit limited of a menu since they don’t have any GF pancakes or things like that. I had the breakfast sandwich which was very good. The American Fries are just a breakfast potato and we’re the best thing on the plate. If you’re a pickled herring fan it was some of the best I’ve had and would recommend. Just can’t have any of the bread/crisp bread that they bring out - which is a bummer considering Wasa does a GF crisp bread.

I ordered the vegetable hash with egg. It was delicious. The waitress however carried all orders for our table including the ones with gluten all stacked together on a tray so didn’t feel like they were very conscious. I don’t get stomach aches so can’t tell if I was glutened or not. The food was very good however and I was happy to be able to eat with the rest of my family.

Absolutely amazing!! I am not celiacs but have a gluten intolerance, so I was able to get their Monte Cristo with gf bread. It is by far my favorite meal! It’s a wonderful combo of sweet and savory with a side of breakfast potatoes that are salty! I could eat this all day! The wait is super long but the service was fast and great!

No gluten waffles or pancakes. Since it was almost lunch time I had grilled cheese with gluten free bread. Pretty disappointing as far as gluten free options but it was a cute place and enjoyed the goats on the roof.

Had two good experiences here. Wait staff was understanding and accommodating. The hot corned beef sandwich was my best experience with gf bread in my two months of my f2f diet so far.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While the food here is not amazing, they do offer a handful of gluten free options if you are looking for the experience of eating here!

Very knowledgeable and attentive service for gluten allergies. Our server explained that one of the chefs has allergies so understands the importance of careful food handling. Enjoyed one of the most delicious salmon dinners. I'd love for them to have some gluten-free "rye" bread for us but still happy to get to dine here safely.

I have always loved al johnson's as a kid. Great atmosphere and food. However, since having to go gluten free I wish they had gluten free Swedish pancakes! They have gluten free bread so French toast and some sandwiches are possible. Sausage has gluten in it. I like to get toast with lingonberries, hot chocolate, and eggs and bacon.

Although friendly staff and cute atmosphere helped I think I my food was cross contaminated. I had French toast (udi's) and bacon.
