Food I had was really good. Menu is marked as to what is GF, though options are limited. Our server was confused with our questions (ie is there a dedicated fryer for French fries) but he was brand new and other staff members were more aware/knowledgeable to answer questions and ensure our meal was safe. (No was answer to separate fryer)

Food is misrepresented as GF, but there is not a dedicated GF fryer. Staff is not knowledgeable about what could cause cross contamination.

They didn’t have GF buns or beer. Sandwiches were only GF if you ordered them without a bun. Salads and tacos were the only real GF dinner options.

Clearly marked GF options right in the menu. I had the taco trio and it was absolutely delicious! They have yucca fries instead of French fries as a GF option and those were amazing!

Capitol City Brewing does have a dedicated gluten-free menu if you ask for it. I was surprised that their burgers (minus the bun) were not included on the menu. I had the BBQ shrimp salad which was a little on the small side and came with no dressing. I also ordered the fruit cup and was pretty disappointed with the amount of fruit you get for almost $5. They only had one cider on tap, so the main drink choices were wine and mixed drinks. All in all, it was just ok. They were certainly accommodating but I probably wouldn't go back a second time. As a side note, my husband (who can eat all the gluten he wants) loved this restaurant so it could be a decent choice for larger groups with mixed dietary needs.

Gluten free menu available but needs updating. I ordered BBQ shrimp dinner and receive BBQ shrimp salad. Waitress said that was no longer on the regular menu. She did bring me veggies and rice as side dishes to make up for it. Shrimp was delicious!

They have always taken great care of me and I have never gotten sick - even during busy hours. They take pride in respecting allergies and dealing with them seriously. They have a gluten free menu that's not extensive, but it's decent and have been willing to clean the grill before cooking my food.

I stay in the area several times a year and it's great to have a reliable, safe, late night place to eat.

The waitress said they had a dedicated fryer just to learn from the manager that this was not true. The manager then said to stay with sauté stuff and that they waitress (the same one that was not knowledgable) would tell the chefs. He did not seem happy to help. I lost faith that there would not be cross-contamination and left.
