Granite City Food & Brewery

I ordered off the GF menu. I ordered the Bleu Peppercorn Burger, with a side of rice, and drank it down with a Flying Monkey. Then I got so sick I vomited it all up. Not sure what happened, but of course I’ll never eat here again.

They have a separate gluten free menu (not on their website) but have noted that items are fried in a common fryer.

I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken prepared gluten free that came with asparagus and rice pilaf. The chef did come out later and let me know that rice pilaf is not actually gluten free because it has orzo pasta in it and he suggested subbing in mashed potatoes that they prepare from scratch.

The options are limited when you eliminate foods from a fryer and sides like the rice, but there are several options. I asked questions and felt safe with what was served to me. I did not get sick.

Waitress was really knowledgeable about GF options. I had the GF flatbread. It was really tough, but good none the less. Did not get sick from them!

Horrible experience. Bread in my “gluten-free” salad. No remorse.

Celiac friendly?

No

They took away the gf artisan flatbread....so disappointed

Second time having the brunch buffet at Granite City- great options, helpful staff, DELICIOUS food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF menu incl dessert!! Ate here when I was traveling from Texas

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was able to order sides to create a gf vegetarian meal and not get sick.

They did not have a GF menu. They sometimes have gf options available ; buns and flatbread. But they were out of all of it when there. I was suppose to trust my teenage server what was gluten free or not. I’m not going back!!

Disappointed. This location did not have the Gluten Free Flat Bread; waitress said it had been a couple months since they had it. I also have issues with vegetable washes and their salad greens are all prewashed, so that was out. Waitress was nice and helpful, but little to eat for me. Ended up with a Bison Burger, with cheese, skipped the GF Bun and toppings. If you want a burger, salad, or a lettuce wrapped sandwich, you will be ok. Sides are a challenge. Waitress was helpful in identifying what was safe to eat.

I had a sandwich with a gluten-free bun (it’s not in the menu but the waiter immediately knew that they have one) and a soup that had no gluten. The overall experience was really good and I had no problems afterward.

Ate here last night and had no after effects. Server was very helpful. I had the Salmon and even though it is naturally gf she had it marked gf so they would know to clean the grill before making it for me. Rice pilaf and asparagus were my sides. No dedicated fryer but many other options can be made gf. They do have gf buns too. Did not flag as gf but it came out separately and the server said that it was the gf salmon before handing to me.

Went for a work dinner where they were catering for 70 people. I wasn’t expecting to be able to eat anything. No gluten free menu but some items can be made GF like the burger had a gluten free bun. We didn’t have the usual menu just a set menu as we were a large group and GF was not marked on anything. I asked them for GF options. They asked if I was celiac or just sensitive which for me is usually a good indication they know what they are talking about. They were aware of cross contamination with fries being cooked in the same fryer as gluten containing items and informed me of the ingredients of the components of my meal to check it was ok with me too. The food tasted good!
