Fatpour Tap Works - McCormick

Came here as part of work outing. Not a lot to eat here that’s GF. However, the server was very knowledgeable about what I could have and let me look at a list of all allergens on their menu items. They did have GF buns and I was able to have a pretty tasty cheeseburger with a side salad. ( The honey orange vinaigrette was very good. It was one of the few gf salad dressings.)

They do not have a Gluten free menu nor is anything marked on the regular. Waitress was informed and doubled checked for me with the kitchen. I am NCGS so cross contamination is no issue, thank goodness. Tots didn’t have coating but are made in shared fryer. Had mediocre food, bun is way too small for burger, ate with fork. Side note, knife given was too dull to cut burgers lol.

They have an allergen menu, they notify the kitchen, and the manager comes out to verify. They reassure no cross contamination.

My food was delicious and I felt very safe eating here. Service was excellent!!

I had a roasted mushroom ruban with chipole ranch and veggie platter with black bean hummus and a fruit side.

Visited 2x End of December 2022. Was staying at the Hampton Inn next door for a conference so contacted them before arriving in Chicago and emailed with Julie (Sales Manager) who spoke with kitchen manager. Before arrival we were told "We can do items such as our hummus platter with no pita and extra veggies. We can do a burger with a gluten free bun and a chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun as well. For chicken sandwiches you will need to mention it has to be non-marinated." which was enough for us to give it a try. While they do not have a GF menu, they do have what I would call a "kitchen cheat sheet" that they brought us as a GF menu which says how to order things on the menu such that they are GF (more options than I would have thought from their menu). In addition to my daughter we brought another GF friend since we had already scoped it out. In previous years those of us without the Gluten issue ate there often for good food and convience.

First night: One person got the filet with a fruit side, the other got chicken little grilled, not marinated with no bun and a fruit side. They also need to be dairy free so didn't do the cheese or mayo. The second meal they got a maple bacon burger with no bun and no cheese or mayo (to be Dairy Free).

It was very clear that the waitstaff on both nights understood the gluten issue. The hostess and the waitstaff talked to the kitchen about our table having gluten free diners and worried about cross contamination. When food was delivered, they reiterated that the food was GF and seemed to be careful about keeping it away from other food - the first night only the GF meals came out together, then the rest of the food. I don't remember the second visit in that regard. My daughter and our friend both thought what they got tasted good.

I think like most places, communication is key. We have eaten there in the past with friends with other issues and the wait staff always tried to answer the questions or go to the kitchen to get the answers and we were always happy with that, so that let us decide to give it a try. If you don't communicate and just look at the menu you would think all you can have is a salad, but by speaking up and talking to the hostess and waitstaff we were able to get answers and options and find out that there was even more to eat there than we thought there would be.

Came for lunch. Server knew gluten existed, but seemed a little confused about the details (offered me fried chicken or grilled chicken). I played it safe with a salad and grilled chicken on top. No symptoms after, but I’d stick with safe things like the salad and ciders/wine.

There is NO gluten free items at this restaurant. Not sure why this is listed as having options. There is nothing but salad as a gluten free option. 0 stars do not recommend.

Hostess and wait staff weren't very accommodating, manager was. No gf menu, they have a printed "guide" on how to modify your order to make it GF. Had the tacos with no ill result.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a gluten free menu which is very detailed about options (eg they can grill their chicken wings rather than use the fryer). As someone with sensitivies to gluten and also dairy, I was able to find several options. I would not recommend to someone with celiac disease though, as they don't have dedicated areas for gluten free cooking and prep as far as the menu said.
