The staff are very conscious and careful. They will double check everything and bring your order out separately. I've never gotten sick here and the food is definitely worth the little bit of extra wait.

The manager is celiac, and has taught her staff how to handle gluten free orders. I’ve never been sick ordering from here - and it’s some of the best gluten free burger buns I’ve ever had!

Manager brings out GF food separate from other orders. They have an amazing warm double chocolate brownie that my husband is eating and loving even though he is not GF. It is definitely enough for two!

I phoned before going there. I was advised they don't have a separate fryer or an area to safely prepare meals for celiacs. They have some gluten friendly meals only.

I spoke with Tina at this Sherwood Park location. They are one of 2 Canada locations (other is Camrose AB) with a celiac program. All servers and kitchen staff are trained and they go beyond a dedicated fryer and GF buns. They have GF batters and sauces like teriyaki. So much of the menu can be GF: burgers, crispy chicken sandwich, rice bowls, crispy cauliflower, nachos, fish tacos (corn tortilla) and so much more. Tina went though the entire menu and there were so many options (including brownie for dessert).

I wouldn't suggest eating here if you are celiac. They don't have a dedicated fryer so I couldn't eat much. I had a burger with a salad and got very, very ill. It could've been cross contamination so I wouldn't go back!

Staff was very knowledgable about cross-contamination. The server, manager, and kitchen staff were aware of what was safe for Celiac folks. We were told by the manager that very little on the menu would be okay to eat. Basically, the Cowboy salad or Caesar salad without croutons. Both the grill and single fryer were deemed unsafe by staff. Salads are prepared in a separate area. The server did say that some items could be baked instead of fried like the french fries or yam fries, but the manager emphasized that the kitchen was an "open" one and they could not guarantee no cross-contamination of anything other than the salads. This place would be great for those sensitive to gluten, but not Celiac in my opinion.

I have been to Browns many times but this was my first coming for Brunch with my family, and the majority of us are celiac. Servers were very knowledgeable about cross contamination and let us know that fryers “may contain” so we were aware. None of us were impacted and overall another great experience.
