Shout out to Elayna!! I was traveling for a work conference when I went out to eat here. The falafel salad was marked GF and when I ordered it, it came out with Pita, she immediately took it back and brought a new one. BUT, she removed the falafel bites because they have breadcrumbs in it!! She saved my stomach because I would’ve been in agony!!

Applause to her, but to management, they need to remove that label if they are using gluten containing ingredients in a salad marked GF.

If you go, try to get Mayce as your server. She was fantastic and so knowledgeable.

The menu is more limited than it used to be. There are no longer gluten free pastas or pizza crust. They did have a bun available, but it wasn’t labeled on the menu. And some dishes were GF, but weren’t labeled because a default side dish wasn’t GF.

Be prepared to ask questions, but you can get a good meal!

We have eaten here before Pre-Covid and had great experiences. They even had a gf dessert. We ate here tonight and knowledge was low but understanding was high. No separate menu. We had burgers w gf bun and was delicious. Fries are not made in a dedicated fryer. We did have to wait 45 min for our food and they weren’t that busy.

Love this place. Everything is so good. Never had an issue eating here. I also met my husband here for our first date so I could be a little biased.

Court Ave. Brewing Company has an extensive gluten free menu that includes steaks and burgers. Sides are limited to anything that is not fried so I have had mashed potatoes and rice. There are a few non-alcoholic beers and ciders that are gluten free too. I’ve been a few times - decent food, just need more side options.

I would give them zero stars if the app would let me. Our waiter was too distracted and I ended up with the gluten version of the menu item. I even asked him three times if he was sure that this was the gluten free version. I was throwing up within five minutes and our waiter just shrugged his shoulders, said sorry and walked away. Making sure that your staff is trained to handle special food requests should be a priority if you have a gluten free menu.

Great service! They had a Gluten free menu and with many choices. I opted for chicken Parmesan. It was basically grilled chicken with pasta on the side but it was very good! The veges that came with it was also good. However, the GF apple crisp for dessert was to die for!! I had to keep myself from going back a second time just for the dessert!
