Frankie Farrell’s Irish Pub & Restaurant

We came here based on the previous review. Almost everything has changed or was never true. There is no dedicated gluten free fryer, the shepherd’s pie uses flour in the base, the sausage in the bangers and mash contains gluten, etc. If I had known I’d end up eating a blackened fish sandwich minus the bread (so really just a fish filet), we’d have gone elsewhere. Is it possible to eat here? Sure. You can do a sandwich or burger without the bread. But if you want Irish food, you’ll be out of luck. At the very least, the server was willing to go and check with the kitchen each time I had a question, which was good of him since he was the only one working the front at noon on a Sunday.

Other Characteristics

• Good for kids

I will start by saying that there is no GF menu or GF bread, pasta, etc. The staff is very well educated in GF food and there are several options for GF meals other than salad and burgers without buns, as in most places. I had the shepherds pie, and it was so delicious! I was debating between this and wings and fries, as they stated they had a dedicated fryer. It was a great lunch experience, and our server was very attentive. Will definitely be returning!
