Review of Alley Rose

I stopped here for lunch while visiting Kearney for a business meeting. I saw that this was rated high on the app as having gfree options, so I thought I’d check it out. I was a bit concerned when the menu didn’t say anything about gluten free options, so I asked the waiter. He must have been new because he had to go grab a manager. I was nervous thinking maybe this wasn’t a good choice after all. Boy, was I wrong! The manager came out and told me his wife and children have celiac, and he proceeded to explain that all of their soups are gluten free, everything on the salad bar (but the croutons) is gluten free, they have gluten free bread, buns, and pasta options. I opted for the salad bar which was wonderful, and they brought me a gluten free bun so I could make myself a sandwich. All of their cheesecakes were gluten free as well, so I took a piece to go and it was also wonderful! I have a Hashimoto’s, not celiac so I cannot speak to whether or not this would be safe for someone with celiac, but I would assume so given the manager/owner’s knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile. I would definitely eat here again!
