Review of Birch and Barley

Excellent, excellent food, service and general knowledge of wait staff. The woman who served me was very knowledgeable regarding my order after I had mentioned my concerns with gluten - I ordered a lettuce bun and she informed me they also had a GF bun which was nearly indistinguishable from any other artisan bun.

Fries are cooked in a shared fryer with other gluten-containing foods, server said it's likely OK if only sensitive to gluten but I took the risk as a celiac since I can handle things like a lettuce wrap at Jimmy John's without changed gloves and be just fine. I believe I reacted, so YMMV on fries - but they will substitute them for soup (free) or salad ($1 upcharge).

The Barrel-Aged burger is to die for. 1/2lb char-grilled patty with sautéed Portobello mushrooms, bacon, cheddar cheese and their "zesty Porter cheese sauce" on a GF bun is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Their mixed drinks are fantastic as well.

Happy hour is half off for many appetizers, burgers and even drinks. Plan accordingly - this is my new favorite spot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
