Maggie McFly's

Please do not eat here! I was in the area to see a show at the MVP arena so we stopped at the mall to eat before hand, the signs outside the restaurant state “dedicated fryers”, so my boyfriend and I decided to try something new. I got glutened and puked multiple times. Definitely not celiac safe… *Don’t trust the signs*

This order was placed at the Crossgates mall location in Albany. I have ordered the same dish, crusted chicken Romano- gluten free of course, for months and I have had quite a few mishaps happen. If you order here you really, REALLY need to clarify your allergy. Tonight I picked up my order and it said gluten free on the ticket, but luckily I noticed that the pasta was different which made it NOT gluten free. The person who helped me, Gage, happily made me a fresh order and gave me a complimentary gluten free cupcake and another order of sweet potato fries with my order! They are very accommodating of allergies but you must reassure with your server or the person taking your order. I will be going back again but just making sure they know it’s gluten free for celiac disease.

**update, I had an allergic reaction to the bang bang shrimp/chicken so I either got glutened or have an allergy I’m not aware of. Proceed with caution!

First time at a Maggie McFly’s! They caught my attention with a big sign talking about gluten free options. They have multiple ciders on draft and cocktails marked gf (careful, some include bourbon which is hit or miss for people).

A few things on the executive lunch menu are marked gluten free, including the Cesar salad, Cobb salad, battered fried chicken strips, longhini sweet sauce + cavatelli pasta, bang bang shrimp/chicken, French onion soup, chili, chicken rice soup, sides: baby green salad, French fries, coleslaw, and sweet potato fries.

The regular menu is huge but doesn’t have anything marked gluten free, so you have to ask the server. I have a feeling lots of stuff is gluten free, just not labeled (which is super overwhelming for me so I’ll stick to the lunch menu). They also have gluten free cupcake that are individually packaged!

They served me a non- gluten free appetizer when I asked for gluten free multiple times. The appetizer was labeled as something that could be made gluten free, meaning they had a non-gf version and a gf version. When I ordered they waitress told me it’s always gluten free. I start to feel sick by the time my main dish was served. I never tried the main dish (gave it to my non-gf husband) and will never go back.

They have a decent selection but the quality is iffy and they have, in the past, screwed up my takeout order and mixed gluten stuff with GF. Items are not clearly marked on menu but almost everything has GF option. Be careful and thorough in making sure what you get is GF. Go next door to 110 grill instead.

Staff is excellent, food is out of this world. Separate gf fryers, tons of gf options on menu. Separate kitchen prep. So many great options. Ate twice in one weekend I loved it so much. No reaction-have celiac AND dermatitis herpaformis. Reactions are noticable and sensitive. Event have gf cupcakes and the menu tells you exactly where the gf options are sourced from i.e cheesecake factory ect. My non gf by also loved his food. We had deviled eggs, I had short rib grilled cheese on a Brazilian cheese bread bun-TO DIE FOR. my bf ordered his on a"gf" bun the next day it was so delicious. Highly recommend.

I did not see any real precautions taken to protect against cross contamination nor did the wait staff offer any options. I did get sick from it. I would not recommend to t for celiac.

I’ve been a couple of times. Once I had chicken wings and French fries - what a treat!! I’m removing a star because I had a side salad and found a bug in it - gross! I would go back, especially when I’m craving something fried or a drink from the bar, but I’m pretty nervous about their salads... oh, I also tried their GF cupcake and it was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free items clearly labeled on the menu. Rice flour fried options. Lots of GF pasta options. Clearly says they have a dedicated frier for fries. The wait staff was friendly and offered to double check with the chef if the burger was GF. GF cupcake dessert option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They served a non gluten free meal to someone ordering gluten free and were only concerned about the incident report being completed

Some items marked gluten free others can be prepared gf. We ordered an item that could be prepared gf then half way they meal they informed us it wasn’t gf

Great GF menu. There are many soups and appetizers marked GF. I had the Buffalo Nachos and they were fabulous.

I explained I needed gluten free and that they had a dedicated fryer. We ate spinach artichoke dip (verified gf) and for a meal I had chicken fingers and fries, which arrived with an allergen stick poked into it. 4 hours later I vomited all contents of my stomach out, so severely ill that I popped blood vessels around my eyes. I would never ever ever trust this place again and I will never recommend anyone go there who has celiac disease. This happened 11/27/19. They were also not busy at all. So disappointing and now I have the “gluten hangover” for thanksgiving day, and who knows for how much longer....

Amazing food with a dedicated fryer and plenty of gf options. So many options that it was difficult to choose what I wanted. I Had the fried chicken dinner and it was delicious. A bit pricy but got more than 2 meals out of it. Can't wait to come back to explore more of their menu

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here for dinner before a movie. 15 minutes after I was told there was a GF fryer, the waitress came and said there was no dedicated GF fryer anymore.

Large menu with many GF options. I tried the GF penne in the gourmet mac & cheese. At first the kitchen made a mistake and put regular bread crumbs on top but they quickly remade it for me without bread crumbs and it was tasty. Menu says they have a dedicated GF fryer and cauliflower pizza crust
