This particular location has always been great with me, they have gluten free pasta and they moved it by the vegetables to avoid the gluten noodles from falling into it. At the grill if you tell them you have an allergy they do a good job of cleaning the area and giving your food it’s own blocked off space.

Huhot's sauces are all now GF, so it is much easier to eat here than it once was. They block off part of the grill if you say you have an allergy and it is only the noodles that really pose a risk at this point on their main food line. Not perfect, but if you're celiac you'll have to consider the risks of flying noodles.

They have GF pasta and sauces, however it's buffet style so there is cross - contamination. They do clean the grill prior to cooking and use clean utensils in a blocked off spot on the grill. Having a dedicated GF "line" would change the rating in a heart beat! Staff was knowledgeable about GF.

Had good food, was given a ‘special bow’ to signal food allergy, crew took care to clean grill before cooking my food and used clean utensils.

Unfortunately they must’ve changed their sauces. They used to all be gluten free but now only about 5 are. They still section off your meal on the grill and use new utensils when preparing!

I’ve been here a few times and always love it! Ask for an allergy bowl and they’ll give you a special yellow bowl to fill with your desired ingredients. You can choose whatever you like and everything is that is gf marked. Sometimes it’s marked with a “G” which confused me at first, but means gluten free. They also have recipe cards at the beginning of the line including a few gf recipes you can try!

The employees are very knowledgeable about allergies and I never have to ask them to clean anything. They see my yellow bowl and immediately clean and section off the grill so my food does not come into contact with anything else on the grill.

So this restaurant has notes in the menu (and in the bathrooms) about their various allergy protocols… they all sound nice, but fall short in practice. If you have any allergy, they’ll clean and reserve a section of the grill, and pull food direct from the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. (yay!) And then the grill chefs toss the food all around and scrape their spatulas on the same gluten-covered surface where they scrape all of their other food. And really, how clean was that grill anyway? If you’re sensitive, this place seems like a disaster. Also, the food wasn’t very good, but that’s a whole other conversation…
