Review of Applebee's

Despite telling our waitress 3 times I was gluten free, she brought my salad with a breadstick. I told her I could not eat the salad as it was now contaminated. She said “can’t you just take it off?” When I explained that it doesn’t work that way, she got an attitude and put in another order for a second salad. When we got our tab, they charged me for both salads! They did remove the second charge only after I pointed it out. Will never eat here again as they are obviously ignorant to what a gluten allergy means. I know they can’t guarantee there will be no cross contamination but when you have a “GS” label by the meal I ordered and I told you 3 times I was gluten free, I did not expect that a breadstick would be on my plate. Avoid this restaurant!

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
