Great Wolf Lodge

I was very specific with our waitress about my celiac diagnosis. The chef came to the table and personally guaranteed a gluten free meal. He took extra precautions and discussed them with me when he delivered the meal also. I had the chili lime chicken bowl and it was filling along with delicious!

Other Characteristics

• Good for dinner

Based on other reviews, I asked the staff if I could bring my own food in so I could eat with my family because they wanted to eat at the hotel. They got the manager, and she told me they take allergies very seriously and have a seperate kitchen. I told her about the bad reviews I saw on this site and she said to always ask for and order with a manager. I ate both dinner and breakfast (they will make you seperate food if you ask. I wouldn't trust the buffet) here and didn't get sick.

That being said, I had ordered a roasted chicken breast with au jus, with mashed potatoes, and a vegtable (what was listed GF on the menu) and instead got a deep friend chicken breast/thigh chunk and French fries. The manager was so nice and said she was watching them make it so I didn't get sick, and that they fried the chicken and fries in a seperate pot of oil to be safe. But, also I didn't order fried chicken and fries and wish I would have known about the substitutiins ahead of time.

There are multiple restaurants at the great wolf lodge. We went to the hungry like a wolf that’s on the second floor. They have a gluten free pizza. We asked about cross contamination and how careful they are with it. They said it was a separate area with fresh utensils that the are not used with the other pizza dough. We had a positive experience. No sickness so far. We took a gluten assistance pill after reading the other reviews. But we ate 15 minutes before we took that and didn’t have a reaction before taking it. We just got nervous that it may happen after reading others experiences. But we had a good experience. The pizza was small for the price but it’s a different crust type than we normally see with gluten free. It’s a Brooklyn style crust and it was tasty.

The reviews were older, so I decided to give the Campfire grill a shot. Most entrees are marked gluten-free on the menu. I ordered the power bowl with chicken, I confirmed the meal would be gluten-free. However within an hour of eating, I was feeling incredibly ill. While I cannot say with 100% certainty that I was glutend, I would recommend proceeding with caution.

They put everything into white take out containers. I asked for the gluten free burger and fries to be marked, especially since my entries party ordered burgers. The gluten free container was not marked. So it was a guessing game trying to figure out which burger was the safe one. Fries were extremely soggy and cold. Customer service was poor. Don't waste your money here.

They offer a GF pizza and menu items but they have gluten. We tested the pizza and the Cobb salad and both were positive for gluten on Nima. When we talked with the manager, he said the chef says the box says GF. Likely cross contamination but we didn’t have luck getting that message across. They were nice and took the pizza off the bill. But my daughter and I didn’t get to eat anything but fruit/veggies. They say they have a dedicated fryer but I’d be careful.

Celiac friendly?

No

The Campfire Kitchen buffet is an AWFUL dining experience. A glance at the buffet is very misleading. The barbecue dishes are gluten. Why not use a GF BBQ sauce when there are so many to choose from? The food was bland and cold. All this for $22 per person. What a rip off!

I couldn’t be happier with our stay. Myself and my 8 year old are celiac. We had supper at the buffet last night and I was both hopeful because of the reviews I’d seen but also skeptical because it’s a buffet. At the front when you are greeted they ask how many in your party and any allergies. I told them we were celiac. She wrote it down and seated us. Minutes later the sous chef came out and took us on a tour of the buffet and showed us what we could eat. And anything we couldn’t he described how he could make it safely out back and bring to our table as a ready to order meal. I almost cried. We were in our glee. Between the two of us we had ribs, chicken, steak and gravy, fries and gravy, pepperoni pizza, veggies, creme brulee, cupcakes, ice cream. There were seafood dishes, chilli, custard, jello and other stuff there we could have but we couldn’t manage to try everything. We tried. 😆 Breakfast didn’t have quite as many options but it had lots. Yogurt, fruit, beans, gluten free bread, bacon, ham, scrambled eggs, omelettes, he made us safe pancakes in the back and brought it to the table. The only issue I had was he told us the Lucky Charms were gluten free. I explained why they still weren’t safe for us and I don’t think he agreed. But neither of us wanted cereal anyway lol My daughter kept telling me ‘you have to tell everyone about this place! There was so much! Usually we can only pick one or two things! But here I can have anything! Can we move here?’

Chef came out to talk to us before breakfast and dinner at the buffet. Offered to cook gluten free meals in the back if there wasn’t enough at the buffet. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the food was delicious. Baked gluten free pizza for us for lunch. The only drawback was that there was no dedicated fryer. A wonderful holiday and great eating experience!

They were great with our 7yo celiac. Pizza, fries (separate fryer), buns, pancakes, and more! The sit down restaurants send the chef out to the table and talk about the gf food.

They say they have a separate cooking area but show no evidence of celiac safe practices. Very limited menu and over priced.

Chef walked us through the buffet highlighting which options are safe for our gluten and egg allergy, and which to avoid. They also made pasta and fries in a separate dedicated gluten free fryer for us.

Had a vegan gluten free cupcake which was good too.

The only thing is cross contamination risk from other guests not being careful with getting food. Recommend going early in the meal to reduce this risk. We were fine though and no issues.
