Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Don’t do it. Staff is very under trained about gluten. Ordered GF steak waitress said she would make sure it was GF. Started eating then asked what was on the mashed potatoes the waitress said oh that’s gravy that has gluten in it. My dining experience has now turned to “ great I’m going to be sick for a week over a stupid dinner out” Manager said this will be a learning experience for the cooks and could care less that I would miss a days of work and sick as a dog. Go elsewhere.

Celiac friendly?

No

I Have never had a problem there with my celiac Always great food and not that pricey

It is gluten friendly but not suitable if you have celiac. We tried it twice and she was sick both times. They specify that it is not gluten free but she liked it before she got diagnosed so we wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately it didn’t work out.

Celiac friendly?

No

Fairly large selection on gluten free menu. Best gluten free desert I’ve tasted!

They have some claimed gluten-free options however every time we have tried to eat there my wife has been in bad shape after word. It’s a real bummer because it such a nice restaurant that cross contamination is really bad.

Celiac friendly?

No

I appreciate that they specify the food is gluten sensitive not gluten free however that is pretty useless to a Celiac. The food is mediocre at best and the few times I have eaten here I haven't felt great after. Not horrible but not good.

great gluten free menu

I ate off the gluten free menu and it was delicious. Had no issues later. I will definitely go there again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

nice servers, gluten SENSITIVE menu. not suitable for celiacs, sorry. dogs allowed on patio. fun atmosphere. menus are available online. I had the flat-iron steak, and it was very yummy. However they only get a 2 star rating because they almost killed me.

My gluten free meal was jam packed with gluten and it landed me in the hospital with inflamed intestines, out-of-control Multiple Sclerosis neuro symptoms and a lost week of productivity. Let's not mention the metric-ton of laundry due to loss of bladder and bowel control. What should have been a lovely mid-range date night dinner turned into one of the worst dining choices of my gluten free life.

Celiac friendly?

No

One of the best burgers I've tried. Staff was very informative and cautious. Never had any issues

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lazy Dog has a gluten sensitive menu and a complete allergy menu. I have multiple allergies so the allergy menu was extremely helpful. Great food and even greater service.

Very little on the menu for GF and I was told the fries are absolutely not safe as they are beer battered, so opted for a side of fruit (which was hilariously just a huge slice of admittedly very delicious watermelon).

When the food arrived, the (as I had been told) very glutenous fries were laid directly on top of the burger to where they had melted into the cheese. I was there for an interview so I didn’t return the food which was my mistake. I had a horrific migraine after eating there which is one of my symptoms.

While in Fresno for a doctors appointment my husband and I had dinner at this restaurant because he really wanted a burger. Although they have a gluten free menu they do not guarantee there will be no cross contamination. I nearly always order a salad when eating out because it’s usually a safer option. Not at this restaurant. The food was tasty and the service adequate but there was definitely cross contamination. I would not recommend this chain if you are a celiac.

I order from the gluten sensitive menu all the time with zero problems. Staff always ‘flags’ my dishes when ordered and brought to the table. I order the GS Sweet & Spicy Wok all the time and it is delicious!
