Don’t trust if you are celiac. They talk to you like they understand but don’t. I got sick

Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


The food wasn’t bad, but the manager was my server and although he knew what celiac was clearly because of the conversation we had, he truly didn’t understand the difference between celiac and someone who is just gluten free. He kept saying “well celiacs have different tolerance levels”. I said no, that’s not how it works. You can’t have anything in their fryers because they cry the onion rings with everything else so wings, fries etc are off limits to celiacs. He substituted mashed potatoes for me and I ordered the muscles...the muscles came out with a huge piece of bread in the bowl & the steak had fries on it. I sent them back explaining gluten cannot touch my food and less than a minute later the food came back. Clearly they didn’t remake my food, just dumped the fries and smacked a scoop of mashed potatoes on it. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was bc the rest of the food was good for my friends without celiac, so for people who are just sensitive it’s a decent place.

Celiac friendly?
