LU LU Craft Bar + Kitchen

Very limited in gf options, vegan options practically non-existent. I wanted to like this place, the food looks great, but there’s barely anything I could pick from.

This is a place I really WANT to love, (I love the concept of fresh and local), but sadly, I don't. I'm pretty sure I would if I wasn't GF. The menu items look wonderful, but none of those wonderful looking items are GF. As it is, the GF selections are few -basically just the meats and some salads. What you get is tasty, but I don't go out to eat to get something that I can do just as well and as easily at home. I have been here 3 times. The first and third times were with a group. The second time was with my husband, hoping to change my mind on my first impression. It didn't. All three times have been the same experience as described. Until they step it up on their GF menu, I won't be advocating for them.

Unfortunately I have not had a great experience here. The first time I was hopeful when discussing with the waitress. She recommended a salad that normally comes with Chinese noodles but she said they could leave them off. About halfway through my salad I noticed a noodle mixed in the salad. I got sick but not bad. The second time I felt like the waitress really understood celiac and I explained my previous experience. I ordered something that I thought had little chance for cross contamination and I almost immediately got very very ill.

Amazing food quality, limited options. Their fries are absolutely worth the stop! Dedicated fryer and delicious appetizers but not a ton of meal options so I can't 5 star!

Wait staff was very accommodating and double checked that the French fry fryer was only fries before I ordered. It is a dedicated fryer which I was so excited about. They made my burger lettuce wrapped. I had a wonderful meal and didn’t get sick. The menu was mostly adaptable to gluten free. My dinner companion had the surf and turf which was also gluten free.

Our waitress was gluten free and she had great suggestions. If you ask they have a French Fry only fryer! First fries in over a year!

I went there as part of a work lunch get together. I informed the waitress that I have a wheat and gluten allergy. She advised that the Thai Steak salad would be fine with a modification. I said OK and thought all was good. In the end, I did get glutened. From my reaction, I can tell they may have put forth a minimal effort, but probably did not plan of dealing with any cross contamination. Good for those who are just trying to avoid, but not for those with an allergy.

They DO NOT have a dedicated fryer. Our waitress was really clear about that. They also didn't have as many selections as I thought they did based on the other reviews. They mainly only have salads and burgers that they can make without a bun if you have Celiac. The burger was good (well-seasoned and perfectly cooked), but overall I was unsatisfied, so that was kind of a bummer.

Dedicated fryer for chips and fries. Staff knew which options were GF. Had the ribs so the BBQ sauce is safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
