Bongo Cafe & Grille

Found this to be a fantastic restaurant with plenty of wheat free & gluten free options. I had a long talk with the owner who is also a nutritionist and extremely honest about not being able to guarantee 100% that cross contact cannot occur. I understand that having worked in kitchens. I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2003 and I know what to look for and what questions to ask when dining out. If a server or owner says they do their best to avoid cross contact and I know what to avoid, it usually works out fine. Bongo has plenty of options, a dedicated fryer and knowledgable staff! Highly recommendable!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is not for people with celiac disease! The female owner (rudely for some reason) told us when our party entered last summer to inquire if they could accommodate a child with celiac disease that they are a small kitchen and did not have separate prep areas. "Let us know if you are staying". If you are a non-celiac and only care about your roll or bread being gluten free and not what it is coming in contact with it, it may be fine. Celiac's should consider their options before dining here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had a cheeseburger on a gluten free bun and fruit. They could do any sandwich with gluten free bun. Also had gluten free tortilla and bagels. Very attentive to food allergy. Also have a vegan menu.
