Hard Rock Cafe

Knowledgeable staff. Does not have dedicated frier. Good GF burger with bun

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Recently the Hard Rock Cafe has come a long way in becoming more gluten-free friendly. They understand celiac here and my server was sure to tell me that the fryer wasn't dedicated gluten free before I even had a chance to ask. The salad that came with my burger was fine, but nothing special. The burger itself was very tasty and I am a very sensitive celiac and I didn't get sick at all.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is no gluten free bun at the MOA location. If they did at one point, they don't any longer. All fried food is cross contaminated. I would not recommend for celiac. Considering how sick I am right now, I would not recommend for allergy nor intolerance either.

Celiac friendly?

No

If you have kids, be warned that there is nothing gluten free on the kid's menu. $6.95 for a hot dog without a bun seems outrageous. Forget about french fries since they do not have a dedicated fryer. I had a cheeseburger, which came on an Udi bun (yuck). I ordered the burger done medium, and it came rare, red, mushy, and cold in the center. The restaurant was not at all busy. We won't be back. I would rate it zero stars if I could.

Terrible GF experience here. I find that large national chains usually have this whole GF thing figured out, which is why we went here, but Hard Rock Cafe was a dismal failure. Yes, they will offer you a GF bun, as if that's all we celiacs need, but after questioning I quickly learned that they had incredibly few options. Even simple things that are usually safe like a sauteed chicken breast or salmon weren't GF (and couldn't be altered to be GF.) Both the server and the manager were very uneducated (the server had no CLUE what I was talking about, which is why I had to ask for the manager) so I didn't feel safe at all. In the end, the only item I felt I could eat with any confidence were the nachos (and they were burned and cold, to add insult to injury.)

Great atmosphere and service! The restaurant had its own separate gf menu, and all gf dishes were marked by a flag :) The menu had lots of options from starters and mains to desserts. Had the cheeseburger, was ecstatic that they got their own dedicated gf fryer for fries :) the food was a bit expensive but I was pleasantly pleased and enjoyed my visit, would come back again! The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable about allergies, and went through their kitchen routines with me when I was about to order.

Menu is well marked to specify gluten free options. Had a triple cheese burger and mashed potatoes (fries not celiac safe, waitress confirmed). Gluten free hot fudge brownie and ice cream was HUGE and DELICIOUS! Would return, food tasted good after long travels and no reaction in days following. Sat upstairs and had a nice view of the Grand Place, good for people watching.

I had one of the burgers, the gluten-free bread was not that good, left most of it. The burger was not seasoned enough. Had fries that was not salted. All in all I was not impressed. They have a separate gluten-free menu via QR-code but the regular menu show more than that.

Have eaten here twice in the past week, enjoyed my burger and fries (yes, separate frier!) and most importantly, didn't get sick. There's a GF menu available. Most burgers can be ordered and there's GF hamburger buns. Fries go in separate frier and are safe to eat. Not sure about measures taken to prevent cross-contamination. The first time my burger came with a stick marked with 'allergy', but not the second time. Didn't get sick either night though.
