Manager took our order and when I said we had celiac disease and asked about the gf menu, she actually said she preferred not to give it out for Celiac disease since it was more of a "gluten friendly" menu than a gluten free menu. So she specifically walked us through our options, checked with the owner on something she wasn't sure about and then I overheard her giving very specific instructions to the kitchen ("don't put xyz on the griddle, keep it separate" etc.). So Celiac options are limited but the staff definitely put in the effort to keep it safe. I had a chicken taco and I think my kid had brisket. I think those were the only celiac safe options. The chips were not from a dedicated fryer, so we skipped those.

Amazing experience! Very Celiac friendly!! I have celiac and the server was very knowledgeable and accommodating! Many great choices, dedicated fryers. She advised what might not be as safe (potential for cross contamination). Being able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant with my family and friends was so wonderful! The food was also amazing!!!

I asked if they could flag for allergies. I usually say I have a severe gluten allergy. When I said this, he pulled out a whole gluten free menu! I guess you just have to ask! I had the pulled chicken salad with avocado ranch (no chips - fried in shared fryer) and it was great! The guy at the counter taking orders said his mom has celiac so he understands the need to be extra cautious! He was able to put a flag for an allergy which always makes me feel better.

Should be removed from app, they don’t offer gluten free and were quite rude

Celiac friendly?

No

Brisket nachos no shredded cheese was really good! The cashier noticed the kitchen I have a gluten allergy. No celiac reaction after leaving. They have a gluten allergy informational resource behind the counter.

They are very knowledgeable and will walk you through the menu. Always tastes great and I haven’t had any reactions after eating there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fuzzy’s has an allergen list and offers a wide variety of gluten-free options. I always order brisket tacos on corn tortillas with Mexican rice and refried beans. Always confirm the order!!!

DO NOT EAT HERE. I wish I could give this zero stars. Staff (including manager) told me that the corn tortillas and chicken were safe. Told me that the allergen button on the register would alert the kitchen to being careful. I was violently ill within 30 minutes. They clearly did not change their gloves or clean the surface like they promised they would. After calling and alerting them of my reaction, they did not act like this was a big deal at all or agree that further training was needed in the kitchen. Super disappointing because the Iowa City location was wonderfully safe. Sadness.

Celiac friendly?

No

Brisket nachos on corn tortillas stated gluten free on website but somehow I'm extremely ill today. I'll be more diligent next time.

There is supposed to be a dedicated fryer for chips which makes the tortilla chips celiac friendly. I have yet to ask if I could fry potatoes or the crispy tacos separately, but I suppose that could be possible as well. The main things to know is that you can't have the ground beef, shrimp, tempura fish, fajita beef, Latin fried potatoes, crispy tacos, or tortilla strips that go on the salad. The shrimp is cooked in a barley sauce so it is not actually gluten free like they will tell you. Make sure to let them know about any allergy so they can cook the corn tortillas on a separate part of the grill or microwave them. I always tell the cashier I have celiac disease tell them to mark gluten allergy on my items so the kitchen knows. The sangria is not gluten free, but the margaritas are.

A ton of gluten free options! They have an allergen chart on their website that breaks down every single menu item. Chips are corn chips but are unfortunately not fried in a dedicated GF fryer so had to skip those. Grilled steak tacos were amazing.
