Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

I ate here yesterday and ordered off of their “gluten sensitive” menu and told them I had celiac. The waiter assured me that he would tell the kitchen. I got my salad and there was a large croissant placed right on top. I am newly diagnosed, three weeks actually, and have taken great precautions in my kitchen and diet and have been feeling great! This was the first time I had ventured to eat out at a restaurant. I made the mistake of just removing the croissant and not sending it back and thought it would be fine. I got sick about two hours later with nausea headache, chills and diarrhea that lasted about 24 hours. I have learned my lesson about gluten contamination. Who knows what else happened back in the kitchen. So I would say be very careful if you eat at cheddars, I don’t think they know what gluten is.

Celiac friendly?

No

The food was great. I had steak, broc and black beans. Caution: the gf menu has 4 options and says cross contamination is possible since they don't have a dedicated gf area. I ordered off the regular menu. downside my steak came on a bed of French's onions type stuff which I was not told about. My waiter didn't seem knowledgeable about being gf. So when you eat here ask questions! I didn't get sick even though I had cross contamination. Again great food!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great grilled salmon and chicken salad. Prices are good as well.

I have eaten here multiple times without any issues. A gluten sensitive menu is available on request and staff seemed knowledgeable about the options. The burger options are “order without bun” which is disappointing, but the other options I’ve tried (salmon, chicken without bourbon glaze, and pecan chicken salad) have been really good.
