Holston's Kitchen

Not Celiac safe. GF menu includes fries and chips that are fried in a shared fryer. I ordered the chopped steak from the GF menu. It came with gravy on top. I questioned it, and the server said it had gluten and brought me one without gravy.

Gluten free menu clearly marked. The food here was absolutely delicious and they accommodated my dairy free needs also. Prices were great and so was the service. Ate here three times!

This one is difficult. We have eaten here several times with no issues. The GF menu is small but there is some variety. Most of the sandwiches can be ordered with a pretty good GF bun. Cross contamination would be an issue as they do not have a dedicated fryer. Tonight, however, was sub-par to say the least. We ordered a GF burger and a GF grilled chicken sandwich. They came out with different buns - thankfully, otherwise we would not have been able to tell one wasn’t GF. So the burger goes back to the kitchen and comes back out a little too quickly on a GF bun. Found out later, unfortunately, that we didn’t get a new burger, they just swapped buns. Not a good night. On a more general level, 2 of the 4 meals were not good (ribs were awful this time, but no GF problems). Service was good, but obviously lacked training on allergy issues.

BEWARE: The menu has chicken fried chicken marked as GF but it is not. Server confirmed and other reviews on this site dating back at least 9 months have mentioned a “mistake” on the menu.

The food was good and the server was very kind to keep getting answers to my questions. However, a lot of things indicated as GF on the menu weren’t really GF and generally not celiac safe. The shared fryer means that all of the fried things including the chips used for the nachos aren’t celiac safe.

Came here because the menu listed country fried chicken as GF. I was suspicious (because it said beer battered and served with white gravy) and asked. Server came back and said it must be a mistake because that item is not GF. Very disappointed.

The food was pretty good. I got a hamburger and a side salad which came with a gluten-free bun. They seem to know all the procedure that needed to be taken.

Great experience! Server Brittany was knowledgeable & reassured us the kitchen is very aware & careful. Order came out 'marked' hot, tasting great!! GF menu has steaks, salmon, burgers, & chicken. Tracy, manager was great as well, checking in with us! New favorite place !!

Small gluten free menu but delicious! They do have gluten free buns, did not try though.

Not Celiac Friendly!! They have a pretty GF menu but it's not really gluten free! I asked if the fried side items on the gf menu were cooked in their own fryer desperate from the gluten item such as onion rings. Our waiter had no idea and went to ask the manager. The manager said no that they did not have a designated fryer. So cross contamination would be a problem. However The gf bun with burger was very good.

Celiac friendly?

Very limited menu and staff need more training
