Happy Valley Brewing Company

Very few options. No dedicated fryer. Waited an hour and a half for a waiter. Waiter kept suggesting items from a shared fryer. Not recommended for Celiac.

Online menu shows more GF options than there really are, and staff is not knowledgeable about what is GF. The brussels sprouts were great though, as were the cocktails! Otherwise, not many food options.

Two options on the menu. Short rib nachos or peanut butter pie. Could not adjust any items to make them GF.

When I told the server I was gluten-free, she immediately went to get me a special menu marking the gluten-free options. Most of the menu could be prepared gluten-free rather than just a few items. I told her I was also dairy-free so she made sure the sauce on the pork chop was dairy free before putting it on the meat and had the kitchen prepare my vegetables with oil instead of butter. I was so happy about how easy she made all of my dietary restrictions that I wanted to cry. And my dinner was delicious! I will definitely put this restaurant at the top of my list when visiting State College.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE GF. This establishment does not understand Celiac or GF needs at all. There is great possibility for cross-contamination. Additionally, they are often slammed (hour wait or more) and will lie on the phone that the wait is shorter than it is. Our experience was AWFUL. Go at your own risk.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had their portebello mushrooms and they were nasty.

They were largely confused when I mentioned their gf menu. They do not have a separate fryer and were very unaccommodating, but the manager apologized, so it's all good? Will never return, gf or not. Burger overcooked and came back with shredded cheese cold on top.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a menu that has all of their gluten free options highlighted. They do not list the nachos or anything fried as gluten free. Not a bad selection of items. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.

Their nachos dish is gluten free. They fry it in a fryer dedicated to tortilla chips. Waitress was super knowledgeable about what contains gluten however most of the dishes do because they either contain croutons, beer batter, beer in the sauce, etc. however, just be careful with what you order and always ask. No gluten free beer or cider, so I had wine but they also have a full bar.
