Bacon Social House

I’ve always had a great experience here. Variety is somewhat lacking, but they do have a UPC barcode for GF and marked accordingly. The pancakes, bacon flights and shrimp & grits are all excellent. Just make sure to talk to your waiter and clearly explain your GF condition.

Many items listed on the menu as “gluten free” are done in the same fryer as gluten containing items. There are very few truly gluten free options if you have celiac. The wait staff was knowledgeable and warned about this, but it several limits the menu.

Talked with the chef / manager and he explained that some of the sauces on the bacon are not gf, thus the bacon flights are not listed as gf. He brought out applewood, candied and habanero bacon slices for me - they were delicious. I also had the bacon hash which was pretty good, but a bit too many onions for me. Not too many things on their menu are gf, but they were knowledgeable about what I could have. And, the bacon was very good. :)

Menu has no gluten free items listed and the waiter told me I "just have to know which items to order". Was told the bacon has gluten

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac friendly! I spoke with the waiter about the items on the menu and their preparation and told him I needed to be strictly gluten free and needed to avoid cross contamination. He advised that most items, including bacon!!!, was cooked on the same surface as pancakes, etc. He went and spoke with the chef who suggested the whole hog omelet as it is prepared in a separate pan. I ordered the omelet without any sides (normally comes with a bread choice and fried or tots). The omlete cam with a slice of "gluten free" bread in-spite of ordering with nothing else. I tested a small sample from the bottom of the omelet and a tiny piece of the bread with my Nima. Gluten was found! I don't know if it was the omelet or the bread, however they learned something and will advise future celiac customers that they cannot prepare something completely gluten free. I was not charged for the omelet.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not many gluten free options, however, the menu is specific about what is gluten free and servers are aware of what kind of substitutions can be made to make a dish gluten free. The Shrimp and Grits and Bacon Hash are excellent!
