Josie Kelly's Public House

Designated gluten free menu with many options to choose from. Great atmosphere. Our server, Bonnie, was awesome. They have live music every Sunday and many other night's during the month.. Would highly recommend this pub to anyone.

I have eaten twice at Josie Kelly’s and had a good experience. They have a separate gluten free menu and the wait staff have been very knowledgeable and helpful.

A wonderful experience! The gluten free items are clearly marked. When I told them it was a serious allergy they guaranteed there would be no cross contamination. The food was really good, and everyone I was with loved it. They do have a shared frier, so I stayed away from fried items even though the menu says they fries are gf.

Update: This place is seriously such a gem. The food is amazing. They now have an extensive gluten free menu (with vegetarian and vegan options). They now have a separate fryer, cauliflower crust, and bread for grilled cheese. The waitress was so knowledgeable and shared with me all of the precautions they take to prevent cross contamination.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience! We now have a dedicated fryer! Hope to see you sometime soon!

Not what you would think of when you think of "Irish Pub". The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and very clean. Regular menu has GF items clearly marked. Our server, Kayla was not only knowledgeable, but I could tell that she was invested in making sure we were safe. They have a dedicated fryer and the kitchen crew changes out gloves and cleans their stations.

Ordered the Fried Brussel Sprout Appetizer, highly recommend. Came out super crispy and had sweet and spicy notes. For my entree I ordered the Irish Cobb Salad and added Salmon.... WOW! So tasty! The salad dressings are all made in house, so no gluten to preserve them! My friend had the American Burger with a GF bun and their fries are also GF for the win! They even had a Flourless Chocolate Cake for dessert, it was absolutely decadent! Came with Vanilla Ice Cream and a strawberry sauce. Finished the evening with a round of Irish Coffee, and I must say that was the best I have EVER had!

Really excited I that found this place and I can't wait to go back to try more!

There is no separate menu but the main menu has items marked. They have gluten free buns for burgers. Even some specials of the day were gluten free, and they had one beer.

We have added a Gluten Free Menu!

I went to Josie Kelly’s tonight based on the previous, edited review. Our server was knowledgable and able to answer all of my questions. I got the American Burger with a side of bacon Brussels sprouts and a pickle. I think that ordering a burger from a bar/pub is a really good way to get to know the food at a new restaurant, and this burger was no joke. I felt very safe and will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

We are delighted that you felt safe dining with us! Happy to hear that you enjoyed your American Burger! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

The food was always great as far as I remember before Celiac diagnosis few months ago. Now, there aren’t many options due to cross contamination. According to the waitress, their fryer isn’t dedicated to gf items, so everything is fried in the same fryer. She said they offer gluten free bun but they can’t guarantee any food marked gf is free from cross contamination. So unfortunately it’s a NO for me.

Edit: Apparently I’ve been misinformed by the waitress. The owner responded to a post in the local FB group to another person who was given the same information as me. Here’s what she said:

“Unfortunately a newer member of our team was misinformed and gave guests incorrect information about some of our menu items. For those of you that have previously dined with us and trusted us - I hope you can understand how devastating this is.

I would like to re-assure you that we do have a dedicated gluten free fryer.

Our wings and fries are 100% naturally gluten free. Wings are baked with a dry rub first and then flash fried to order. We are able to bake them to order if that is what you prefer.

Many items on our menu can be modified to become gluten free. I am currently working on a separate menu to help guests navigate those modifications.

I have and will always be personally dedicated to creating a safe and worry free environment for anyone that chooses to dine with us. My sister has celiac disease, and she finds eating out is very stressful. It’s important to me that our guests have confidence in our practices so that they can truly enjoy their visit.

We encourage all guests with allergies and dietary restrictions to always notify our team so the kitchen crew can properly clean their station, utensils, the grill, as well as change their gloves to avoid cross contamination.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely, Kathleen Lloyd Bean An Tí [email protected]

Awesome experience. Plenty of options. Menu has GF marked items. Fryer is dedicated gluten free. They are extremely aware of all allergens and change gloves. The owner has immediate family with celiacs so she is super attentive to cross contamination. Definitely going back again. Lots of options. Vegan and dairy allergy friendly as well. Also a great atmosphere.

I got violently sick on my way home. I couldn’t even make it someplace safe before getting sick. I was super confident given how the staff spoke about their process. I stayed away from the shared fried and double checked everything with the waitress when ordering and when she dropped the food off at the table. I will not be returning.

We are so sorry to hear that you did not feel well after your visit. We now have an exclusively gluten free menu, a dedicated gluten free fryer and our staff receives thorough training and education. Hopefully you will try us again sometime soon.

Items fried in a shared fryer are marked GF on the menu. Very few items are actually GF. Waiter seemed unsure but did ask the kitchen for me. I ordered the scallops, they were ok, but overpriced, $30 for 4 small scallops.
