Gluten free bun available. Gluten free menu was provided, but the waitress warned me that the fryers are not dedicated. I had a burger with a gluten free bun and a house salad with no croutons and did not get sick.

Be ware. A separate gluten free menu was offered to me but most items listed are cross contaminated in the same deep fryer as other items with no warning.
The manager was willing to cook gf grilled chicken and salads.

Ordered fried pickles, mushroom Swiss, truffle fries with shredded cheese, and Caesar salad with no croutons all listed on gf menu. Waitress came back to tell me that the only thing I ordered that could actually be gf would be the salad. Everything is fried together and mushrooms for burger are cooked on same grill with soy sauce. Gluten free menu says the fried pickles can be made gf since it has a cornmeal breading but it’s now a corn/flour mix. The chef come out to talk to us more about it and he said the same thing.

** update ** I changed my rating because my daughter got pretty sick for a week sick since that night after eating there. That was the only possible place she could have gotten contaminated. We know she had an udi’s bun but perhaps the burger or bun were cooked in the same space without cleaning prior even though we asked that to be done. Either way - she for sure got sick. Not safe for a celiac after all.
They have a separate gluten free menu with a good amount of items. The waitress confirmed that anything fried is done in a shared frier so none of the appetizers and most of the sides weren’t available. However what we did order was delicious and I’m always appreciative of waitstaff that double checks for us since my daughter has celiac. She had a Bulldog Burger on an udi’s bun with a side salad, I had a grilled sweet heat chicken sandwich on an udi’s bun with a side salad. Both of our meals were delicious and my daughter didn’t get sick. Ironically we were told that we were their second celiac customers today

This place is adorable and delicious! They have a gf menu. I got the cornmeal fried pickles (dedicated fryer), good morning burger on an Udi bun, sweet potato fries (shared fryer alert) with caramel dipping sauce, and nutella milkshake!

There were good gf options on a separate menu. My waitress asked if I had a gluten allergy or was celiac. They offer Udi buns that came nice and fresh. I ordered sweet potato fries from the gf menu and the cook came to our table to tell me they don't have a dedicated fryer, which was very helpful. There was no breading on the fries and since I am not super sensitive, I ate them.

Mt family was passing through Tupelo on vacation. After several restaurant disappointments on our trip, Bulldog's was a great experience!
They offer gluten free buns (for an upcharge, which is normal) or lettuce wraps for the burgers. The burger was very good and well prepared. The sides are a bit of a letdown, as all of the fries are in a shared frier. This just leaves side salads, which are fine, but we all would prefer fries with a burger.
Our server (I think his name was Tim) was great, answered questions, and was reassuring that there would be no cross contamination. The environment was very cool, and the rest of the family loved the food. We will be sure to stop again next time we pass through!
My ONLY gripe, and it is minor, is how they offer their gluten free menu. It is a small laminated page, roughly the size of two index cards, with their gluten free options. This is obviously better than most restaurants, but the small menu does not have any information on what is on the different burger types. This meant I needed to hold the gluten free menu up against the regular menu to figure out what I wanted.

I placed a curbside order online. I got the bulldog burger without bread or cheese and a side salad with honey mustard dressing. They have gluten free buns if you want one. Their fries and tater tots are not in a dedicated fryer. On the order, I included I had celiac and a dairy allergy and sorry to be complicated. When I got my order they were so nice! The bag was labeled severe gluten and dairy allergy. They also left a nice note saying “never be sorry (for being complicated) we got you!” The food was great, and I did not get sick at all. I would recommend coming here. They are very knowledgeable.
