Not worth the risk! They've updated the gf menu to mostly veggies and yogurt and even then cross contamination is a nightmare!
The staff was super knowledgeable, and our waitress even offered to bring the manager over to speak to me. They don’t have any gluten free breads but there is still plenty to choose from. When you place your name for a table simply ask to see the allergy menu. I ended up getting a salad with Caesar dressing and our waitress opened a new bottle of dressing and cut fresh ingredients instead of taking them from the open bins and prepared my food in a separate section of the kitchen. She took extra care to put me at ease and even brought my food out while still wearing her gloves! Over all it was a great meal and I feel comfortable eating here again.
Yes
When asked if GF Menu available I was given a 15 page spieal bound book listing every food item Doan the left side and 12 or more "allergens" as a header row across (spreadsheet style chart) I t would an hour with a magnifying glass to read that entire thing,very awkward and k.poisibke to be of any use to me. I asked about individual items.
This is a last resort restaurant IMO. I should have kept the"book" at the table as I am pretty sure the fried apples were in a flour based sauce.

I can't say I would recommend eating at a cracker barrel if you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity, but they do have options should you need them. They have an allergen menu on their website with some gluten free items, but there is still a high risk of cross-contact.
I only ordered a side of mashed potatoes to be safe. Explained to the staff that I have celiac disease and the importance of no cross-contact. I didn't have a reaction.

They do offer a gluten free menu and have a lot of gluten free items. I’m always a little cautious since they do such a high volume of food. No gluten free breads.

Absolutely a pain to eat here. Even with the allergen menu, the risk of cross contamination is very high.

A little disappointed with the options here. There is only one entree I can safely eat gluten free at this establishment- Grilled Chicken Tenderloins, with a few safe sides (usually I choose green beans and corn).
GF options are extremely limited here because almost everything is breaded, fried or is thickened with flour.
Cross contamination is possible.
Anyone who is Celiac should not eat here.
