Review of Dogfish Head

****Updated - September 2023***

It appears that they’ve updated the menu, such that there are slightly more GF options. There’s a shared fryer, but since the fries are hand-cut (and not battered) you can get the Steak Frites or burger without bun. If you want to avoid the fryer entirely, an appetizer of street corn and wedge salad are both GF.

I ordered the burger and fries, brought two slices of GF bread from home to use as a bun, and didn’t have a problem. Still not a great option - or even a good one - but much less bad than it had previously been.

Original Review:

It’s a brewery. They make wheat-based beer. Going here of your own violation would be a very bad idea, because virtually everything - including the salad dressing for the most basic salad - has beer in it. I didn’t even bother to ask about a GF menu.

That said, I went with family who love beer and so I ordered the regular burger with no bun and slaw (not wanting to trust the fryer for obvious reasons). It was a very boring meal and just okay, but I didn’t have any reaction and was able to eat with the family.
