Cooper's Hawk

Second time in two weeks they have served me non gluten free from gluten free menu.

We are regulars at town and country so know what gf looks like and have questioned it!

Awful! Don’t risk it!

Had a wonderful experience! The gluten free menu listed many items and the food was absolutely delicious! Waitress was knowledgeable and very careful. Lots of gf dessert options - the creme brulee was unbelievable.

Server was very knowledgeable and assured me they mark the ticket GLUTEN ALLERGY so the kitchen is fully aware. I definitely feel comfortable here!

Waitress did not seem knowledgeable about gluten free, so made extra effort to make sure that she was aware that I was ordering from the GF menu. Ordered a wedge salad and a burger. Salad was great, burger was average, and the GF bun was HORRIBLE. It was hard and very dry. This is unacceptable for a $19 burger. A few minutes after leaving, I could tell that something I had eaten was contaminated. I felt pretty bad for about 24 hours.

MASSIVE gluten free menu and knowledgeable staff! They even offered gluten free bread during the bread service and brought it out separate— it seems small but I always loved getting bread at restaurants pre-celiac so it was really special for me to be included again. Everything tasted delicious, a little on the pricier side but perfect for a special occasion or night out!

I have loved Cooper’s Hawk for a while and especially learning how to eat GF. They have a GF menu, the manager brought out my food and said that there are eyes on GF or allergen items from the beginning to end. The GF pretzel bread was so good I almost cried (mostly because I hadn’t had a great piece of bread since I went GF). Luckily my favorite shrimp app and the Parmesan crusted chicken dish I love can both be prepared GF. Definitely love this place!

My order was marked GF to the chef, and I was given a 2-page GF menu to order from. Server was happy to answer any of my questions, and she went back to the kitchen and manager to help with any questions she couldn’t answer. The manager (also GF) even came out to talk with me about which wines are safe for me (all are GF except the few that are aged in barrels due to the coating on the barrels). And when my husband’s dessert came out and I asked if it was safe for me, the server said she didn’t realize I would be eating it and brought out a new one on the house so I could enjoy it as well. Definitely felt safe and heard through the entire experience.

I have eaten at Cooper’s Hawk Annapolis many times over the years. I just ate there for the second time since my celiac diagnosis. The menu is extensive, and their recommended wine pairings are helpful. There is an actual physical gf menu. It has a number of good offerings. Last time the salad I ordered came out with croutons by mistake. The server was very embarrassed and said she threw it out herself and spoke with the chef. I appreciated the server’s concern. It was a good meal and evening.

Fortunately this time there weren’t any hiccups. The server said she marked my order “gluten allergy”, which would mean it would be cooked separately. The server brought me warm gf bread, a good Cabernet S., a kale caesar side salad and, for the main course, a Black and Bleu cheeseburger, grilled squash and fresh fruit. It was all delicious. I may join their wine club.
