Hops n Drops

We stopped in for brunch last weekend and after talking to our helpful server in the bar area, I was able to order the Cali eggs Benedict on a GF bun. I did roll the dice on the hashbrowns, knowing that they’re usually cooked on a shared flattop, but that the server said the kitchen could cook them separately, and that gamble worked out—they were delicious and I didn’t have any reaction afterward. (It was way too much food though so if probably get the fruit cup next time.) The server also triple-checked that the Bloody Mary was GF—it was GF since it’s tomato juice, Dimitri’s mix, and vodka—though she did tell me my only safe vodka options were Tito’s and Crater Lake vodkas (we all know all distilled alcohol is GF, at least until any flavoring is added.) Anyways, lovely meal, not too busy there so felt safe ordering what I did, great service, and no reaction afterward. We’ll be back!

Decided to try it out per the recommendations of the Gluten Free Kitsap Facebook page. Burgers were a little mediocre but the price was right. Drinks were pretty good. Super fast service and they took me very seriously without even having to mention that I had celiac. The gluten free menu is on a QR code on the corner of the regular menus.

I felt really unwell after eating the avocado chicken salad from this restaurant. There is a gluten free menu with a decent amount of options to choose from (including gf buns for burgers/sandwiches) but I will not be eating here again in the future.

I had a burger with a gluten free bun and it was very good. Tasted homemade instead of the standard “Udi” buns most places use.

Server was very knowledgeable and helpful

Just ate there. Got a green salad because it seemed the safest option for no cross-contamination. Not only was the salad meager and not very tasty (iceberg with a ton of cheddar cheese, some tomatoes and cucumbers, dressing) but less than an hour later I already feel sick to my stomach. I think it's safe to say Celiac's shouldn't eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No
