Hard Rock Cafe

The HR cafe is located outside before taking your train to the terminal, don’t make the same mistake I did and go through security to find out you don’t have any options past security! I had to exit the terminal and luckily had time to grab a burger before my flight!

Anyway -The waitress had the manager come over to give information about their options -which is their protocol. He said most of the menu can be tailored to my needs. The oil the fries are cooked in gets mixed with the oil where the fried shrimp are cooked at the end of the night. He says most people who have a gluten intolerance do just fine eating their fries. I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun which came sealed in a bag but warmed up. All toppings on the side so you have to build the burger. I chose mash potato for my side and I’m glad I did because I ended up not eating most of the bun. As we know, gluten free bread has a hard time staying together. Overall, Hard Rock Cafe was a good choice since there aren’t many GF friendly restaurants at TPA.

Our waitress really took the time to check what items I could eat & said the chef recommended the burger with a GF bun, and served with broccoli instead of the fries. Great choice!

No gluten free menu, and there’s really few ways to make the breakfast menu work.

When I asked, a host informed me that the breakfast potatoes were not gluten free as they are breaded.

Stopped for breakfast while at airport. I’ve had success at other Hard Rocks so thought it was worth a try (my glutinous companion needed a good breakfast before a flight). Figured worst comes to worse I’d get some fruit. The server, Tracy, was awesome! When I said I had an allergy without missing a beat she told me they had a dedicated fryer for the breakfast potatoes and I could have everything on the breakfast menu except the bread! She even asked if it was an intolerance or an allergy! I was very impressed! I don’t like eggs so I got a side of bacon, side of potatoes, and side of fruit. It as pricy that way but I got an excellent portion, tasty, and filling! Fruit was a huge sundae cup of berries. Will definitely make me keep an eye out for Hard Rocks when traveling!

I called ahead and spoke to the manager to ask about how safely I could eat at this restaurant gluten-free. He assured me not to eat the fries as they recently switched brands and they would have wheat - and now the fryer would be cross contaminated, so don’t order wings

I asked his name and if he would be there and could babysit my meals since I am driving seven hours tomorrow

The manager was leaving - and yet he share with the next manager name Sam

When I arrived, I met Sam who had told the kitchen staff and bartender of my sensitive food allergy

I have had to eat this way for 19 years - and I have learned how important it is to talk to a manager and stress how important it is to eat out without cross contamination…- and yay! I had a great pulled pork sandwich on a GF bun with mashed potatoes and it was delicious and I didn’t get sick!

GF burger was awful. Avoid for a proper meal. Wings were nice but the patty from the burger is one of the worst I’ve had. Go elsewhere!
