Cabana Blue Lakefront Sports Bar & Grill

No longer using a dedicated fryer, no longer taking allergies seriously. They're too busy, and with too small of a kitchen to do better. Gotten sick the last 3 times I went. Also very expensive!

Huge GF menu! I loved being able to go to a sports bar atmosphere and see such an awesome GF menu. The staff also made sure my dinner was dairy free! Delicious!

Haven’t been, but just read an advertisement that their gluten free dedicated fryer is back. The ad had a list of several deep fried items available. Online menu shows gluten free buns are available, but doesn’t necessarily call out GF menu items. Definitely worth me checking out based on gluten free fryer alone.

Use to love going here. They changed the menu to remove GF options along with their desserts. They no longer have a GF fryer either. When I asked the server why it changed she said because they could no longer ensure the safety of being GF. Then proceeded to ask me if I like salads because that would be my safest option. I only had shrimp cocktail because no one was confident in their ability to avoid cross contamination. Big disappointment

Updating as of June 2023: They have changed their menu. They no longer have a dedicated gf fryer, says it will be back in the fall, and they’ve changed their desserts. They still have GF buns!

Had lunch today with the hubby! The menu has so many GF options. The dessert options included brownies and cookie dough sundae. I had the chicken tacos and they were fantastic. When ordering I was told the owner has celiac so the menu could be trusted. Can’t wait to go back! I gave it a 4 heart safety rating only because I do not know what their kitchen procedures are like! I’m sure with the owner having celiac they are aware and safe!

The blackened salmon and steamed broccoli were very good and the staff was knowledgeable of gluten free and cross contamination. They had one fryer down, so I wasn’t able to have fries, but normally she said that they have 2 separate fryers.
