They have the best gluten free buns in town. I always get a burger with their tap house potatoes on the side. They do NOT have a separate fryer for gluten free, but with my sensitivity I don't get glutened from that

Knowledgeable, several beer choices (Two Brother's Prairie Path isn't labeled GF but it is). No fries, fried food or taco shells but I had tequila lime taco lettuce wraps and they were delicious.

Normally a great place to go to since they have gluten free buns, but I was given wrong information about their tater tots not being made with any gluten and only being fried in shared oil when in fact they are made with and rolled in flour. Had a reaction and the staff didn’t really care or comp anything even though I couldn’t eat my meal and was in great pain. Scared to go back now.

Yummy (and huge!) Cuban sandwich and fries prepared in separate kitchen space with a dedicated fryer. Highly recommend!

*The waitress knew what we were talking about when we said the word Celiac. *They have a completely separate menu including Kids Meal options (first place I’ve seen that besides Brew Bird). * They DO have a dedicated fryer. * celiac son’s food came out with a second waitress who was wearing gloves. ***Most importantly…no tummy problems afterward!!!

Separate menu, good options. Friendly staff. Good food. Not all Boulder Tap Houses as gluten friendly. Check before you go to others. Have had good experience at one in St. Cloud, but not in Alexandria.
