Review


I will start by saying my husband enjoyed his sandwich. I have Celiacs and am very sensitive to croas contamination. My husband called ahead to make sure they had a Gluten Free menu. They did. I told the waitress I have Celiacs and she said she would tell the cooks to be very careful. After looking over the Gluten Free menu I noticed the onion dip was called the Guinness Onion Dip. I asked the waitress if this had Guinness in it as it's on the Gluten Free menu. She said it did. I then stated that it's not gluten-free then. She said "the Gluten boils out when we cook it". I wasn't going to order that, so I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. I had about 3 bites and started feeling very sick. I flagged down another waitress and asked if the corned beef was cooked in beer. She came back and said yes. At this point I was sick and mad. I told her, "This was on the gluten-free menu and it's not gluten-free and now I'm sick." The manager spoke to the owner who said "it's only 1 part Guinness to 4 parts water. The Gluten boils off" I told them that's not how Gluten works. You can't "cook off" the Gluten. They didn't charge me for my meal. But obviously I became very sick because of their lack of knowledge about Gluten and what is actually gluten-free and how things become cross contaminated. I will never eat there and if you have Celiacs I would NOT recommend it.
