I inquired whether their fries shared a fryer with gluten items, such as chicken tenders. Waitress came back and told me her manager told her to inform me that fryers typically “kill” allergens in the hot oil and even gave me examples such as peanut allergies, fish allergies, and gluten. I was horrified. Don’t EVER trust this restaurant if you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

Outside of handing you an allergen menu, they have no clue about keeping someone with Celiac disease safe. I ordered salmon and mashed potatoes. When I spooned out a bite in the middle of my mashed potatoes, there were 2 pasta noodles! Never again!

Just ate at the Boone Applebee's February 4, 2016. I had pulled pork salsa verde as an appetizer. I had a rack of ribs with honey bbq sauce and French fries as my entree. All perfectly cooked. All delicious. All gluten free. Had a great time! Absolutely no adverse effects. Enjoy!

Yes

DONT EAT HERE
Had a terrible experience, menu items are marked “gluten sensitive” however staff don’t know anything about the ingredients. I was advised to check the website for the Ingredients and they couldn’t tell me what was in it as to not assume liability for someone misreading the menu and having a reaction. Just generally would not go here and wouldn’t recommend to anyone who’s worried about cross contamination. They don’t seem to care when it comes to allergies

I have eaten here before but I wouldn't exactly call it a wise dining choice for someone with Celiac If they want to feel well afterwards. Proceed with caution.

My husband and I here quite a bit when we both had a long day. Have a decent selection of gluten-free items. Never had any issues eating here. Staff is really great. Like I said we eat here quite a bit.

They have gf options BUT I believe they are called gluten-sensitive. The waitress made sure to mention that to me before I ordered a they are not dedicated gf. She said she had to tell me for legal reasons. I got the fish and fries. I was cautious but didn't get sick thankfully. However, I also haven't been back since then bc I just didn't want the risk. Sick is miserable.

I have celiac and tried ordering off the menu of items that were listed Gluten Sensitive. I told the waitress that I have a celiac and to make sure my food wasn’t cross contaminated. I knew right after my meal that it was cross contaminated. Also I ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and told the bartender that I have a gluten allergy so no croutons but gave me a bread stick. Like I was only able to eat half my salad since the other side had the bread stick
