Being a celiac (I am also a vegetarian), it is so difficult to find places to safely eat. The staff was very helpful in answering any questions I had regarding ingredients. If they were unsure of the answer, they would go ask. They have a dedicated fryer to the fries! Anyone who has celiac or is gluten sensitive knows how difficult it is to find fries! And, they were AMAZING! As was the veggie burger. I will defiantly eat here again! Thank you to the staff and the Executive Chef Jacqueline Brown for her attention to my dietary needs.

After reading the other review, I was SO excited to come back to J Alexanders! Their Thai Kai salad is my favorite salad on the planet and they were able to serve it to me GF, just without wontons. Their to go ordering online lets you input allergies as well so super GF friendly in my experience so far!

I had avoided going here because no reviews on Find me Gluten Free. Yesterday, I called and spoke with the executive chef, Jackie, and she was fantastic (she has been the executive chef since they opened). They have an open air kitchen so can’t guarantee no cc and don’t have a separate menu, but she was able to walk me through the menu and what could be modified. When we arrived for dinner, she came out to meet me, and the server confirmed my order with her to make sure it was safe. Their menu is all fresh ingredients, and they make everything in house, so I felt really good about it and had no issues. Will definitely return. If you’re thinking about checking it out, definitely talk to Jackie. She’ll take good care of you, and the food was excellent.

I had dinner there a few weeks ago. Manager came over to discuss GF options. I felt very safe with what I ordered. I had salmon, baked potato and veggies. It was very good.

My waiter, Cassey was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I could eat that was celiac friendly. I also have other food / seasonings allergies and was accommodating on that as well. The menu is a bit limited but I was able to order something with no problem. I ordered the fish of the day, Sea Bass, baked potatoes and French style greens. The only seasoning I can do is olive and salt and they cooked it as ordered .. black pepper allergy which is a concern because a lot of restaurants put that in a lot of their food. I would recommend this place. Did not disappoint.

Formerly Merus Restaurant. I’ve been here a few times and the servers are knowledgeable about which items can be made GF. I usually get the steak but last time had the salmon and it was excellent. The server suggested leaving off the sauce.

No GF menu or indicated items on menu. We called and they told us they can modify anything, no problem. The waitress acted super annoyed after going back to kitchen several times to ask about things (which I’m sure it is annoying but so is being glutened). I was told I could have a salad with no dressing/sauce or a steak with no seasoning… so I left.
