Duffy's Sports Grill

I ordered a burger with a GF bun, and asked the server if the fries had their own fryer. She was unsure but checked and said they were not, so I had a side salad with no croutons. There was no clear gluten in my meal (the bun was definitely GF as it fell apart super easily), but two hours later and I'm in awful pain. Definitely some cross contamination or gluten in sauce/gluten that I was not aware of. I wouldn't say this place is safe for celiac, which is disappointing as I loved it here before I was diagnosed.

The reason I go to Duffys is BECAUSE they have burgers with a gluten free bun. So, imagine my surprise when I checked my take out order and there wasn't any bun anywhere! Oh there is an upcharge....and your point is.....I want a gluten free burger with a gluten free bun! That is what I have always ordered and that is what I have always gotten. I don't care if there is an upcharge. That has never happened to me before at Duffys. Is this their new policy? I can go anywhere and get a burger patty with no bun.

Celiac friendly?

No

I made it very clear that I have celiac to the server and she was totally clueless when it came to safest options to minimize the risk of cross contamination. They do have a gluten sensitive menu but have a warning listed that it’s not a GF environment. My chili That I ordered (thinking it would be the safest best for minimizing the risk) came out to me with a slice of regular bread. They clearly don’t care or understand at this location. I would avoid this place if you have celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Salads are always amazingly fresh! The gf turkey burgers are the best!

It’s a sports bar so definitely not an option if cross contamination is an issue for you. They have several GF options on their menu. I chose a burger with a GF bun and ordered a side salad but noticed it had a crouton buried under the lettuce. The wait staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly and with lots of options, I appreciated the effort. Hopefully, they continue to improve the experience for allergy customers.

I read the reviews previous to my visit and thought I’d be safe but I personally wouldn’t recommend visiting. Despite previous comments, I was told the naked wings were fried in the same fryer as other items. I was told that they grill buns on the grill. So I decided to just get a salad to be safe without grilled chicken. Until I was told no salad dressings were 100% safe except the balsamic vinaigrette. At this point, I just told them to take the salad off because my anxiety was too high. Super disappointed about this experience as I watch my husband eat wings and I’m stuck with water. But this is not a safe place in general.

Duffys in Cape Coral dropped gf pasta. Before they dropped it, they served her regular pasta and didn’t tell her, it made her very sick.
