Review of Fat Head's Saloon

Pittsburgh, PA. What was once a 5-star review is now a one star review. The bartenders insisted my beer was gluten-free but it was actually gluten-reduced. I asked twice and they confirmed twice. I only drank a half of that one beer and I got SO sick. I called the restaurant when I got home and they said the manager was too busy. I left my number, and more than 24 hours later- no call. Nice!!! I emailed corporate and they said they would train their staff again but they didn’t so much as offer to replace my beer. Thanks!! Going to Red Robin (they also have a dedicated fryer👍) from now on.

P.S. don’t let them tell you that the gluten reduced beer is only 10 ppm either because the testing method that those companies use is flawed. It is meant for solids not liquids. This is why even the FDA will not allow the beer to be called gluten-free even though it is under the legal government standards of 20 ppm (or so their flawed tests would ‘show’). Also, the enzyme used to break down proteins in the beer leaves all of the gliaden in the beer so it can still easily trigger an autoimmune response. Finally, since the beer was on tap it would have been cross contaminated in the beer lines/tap by other gluten-containing beers, right? I had to miss work the next day because of my gluten hangover. Thanks so much Fat Heads!!
