Ordered a cheeseburger with tots. The GF bun was the worst: it crumbled apart as soon as I tried eating it. I have to give up, remove all the bits of bun that I paid extra for, and just eat the patty with a fork. My daughter ordered a GF pizza and the crust was soggy. And the meal with drinks was 50 bucks. Not worth it.

We’ve eaten here many times and haven’t had a reaction. Sometimes they have a separate fryer for fries, etc. but not always so you have to ask each time. I also ask them to not toast the gf bun where the other buns are toasted. Pretty good options available.

Limited GF items in menu but with substitutes you can get a great meal here. Dedicated GF fryer but was told when super busy they might use for gluten items so beware. Times I have eaten here I have had knowledgeable servers but they change often. Always have been willing to accommodate and flag my food as celiac.

I ordered a house greens salad, after discussing GF options with the server. I told him that I have celiac, so have to be very careful, and he seemed to understand, but I was brought a salad with wheat croutons. I think this was out of carelessness, not lack of communication. They apologized, but beware.

Ate here twice within the same month. The first time I was very impressed and our waiter said all fries are gluten free and cooked in a dedicated fryer. 2 weeks later our server didn't seem to know what was gluten free. He said the fries are cooked in the same fryer as nongluten free items. So I decided to get gluten free pizza....but they didn't have the crust. The salad was good but I was hoping for more than that.

Confused about some of the earlier reviews. They did not offer to use a separate fryer for me and made it clear that other items are also cooked in the fryer so I was really disappointed I couldn’t have tots or fries. They offered to drain the oil, but of course that’s not sufficient for someone with celiac. I also found it odd that the menu had a little GF symbol on the key for things designated gluten free, but then GF was literally not marked by one thing. They told me the only GF items on the menu were the pizza crust and an alternative burger bun. In the end I just didn’t feel secure enough in my conversation with the waiter that they could successfully avoid cross contamination and I just had cider. The cider was good at least lol

All staff were very courteous and polite. Server clearly understood the need for no gluten contact and my BBQ chicken pizza was delicious, and did not leave me feeling ill at all. Their fryer is not gluten free, as our server very happily explained to me, but other than that it was a perfect experience!

Great service. Fries and tots are made in a separate fryer. Waiter asked if it was for an allergy.

We are on vacation and I use this app to help us find places for our 3 celiac children. Following other reviews saying they used a different fryer for the tots and fries and that they had GF buns. I personally didn’t ask them but our kids VERY much enjoyed the buns!

Wonderful food! Very knowledgeable and accommodating for my Celiac Disease. Separate fryer for French Fries. The best bacon cheeseburger I've had in a long time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated fryer for gf-friendly fries. Gf burger buns and small gf/vegan pizza doughs. Staff was extremely considerate of any sensitivities. Highly recommend!

Sooo good! Hostess and server were very knowledgeable about what was Gluten free and fries and tater tots have a separate frier. Would definitely come here again!(:

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Does not have a dedicated fryer. Very few items that are gf. I ordered steak and it came out raw. Will not go again

Celiac friendly?

No

I was very firm when describing the need for everything to be gluten free, waitstaff seemed fairly knowledgeable but not very serious. Had a chicken sandwich of some sort and the bread was soggy and disgusting. And then I had one of the worst gluten reactions I've ever had.

Celiac friendly?

No

had chicken sandwich w/gluten free bun. server was very careful and food was good. recommended for sure5

No more gluten free fryer.

Poor service just like in McMinnville. lackadaisical approach to GF requests. Be very careful if you are celiac! When they screwed up our gf burgers order, they wanted to just switch the buns!

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was good and experienced no cross contamination. Server was knowledgeable and very helpful. Service was slow though. Another night we did take out salads and they messed up our orders. My salad was correct but they gave me dressing with milk in it (I'm df too). And my husbands salad (no food allergies or restrictions) was somehow completely devoid of anything other than romaine lettuce and meat. A bit of a pain in general getting things straight but was at least successfully gf 🙂.

Gluten free buns. Dedicated fryer for fries. Food was very good. Waiter knowledgeable about cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was ok but not great. We did not get sick. Service was extremely slow. It took 30 mins for the waitress to bring our drinks.

Good pub food, solid understanding of cross contamination. We've eaten here safely several times! I never would have expected it of McMenamins. No fish n chips, despite another reviewers experience. Great burgers.

EDIT After another couple visits, I would change my review. Last time we were glutenized unapologetically. I think we may try again in the non busy season.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was amazing! The crust on my husbands pizza was soft and had herbs in it. My bun for my turkey sandwich was soft and buttery! They have gf beer! So great, everything was beyond expectations. Our server Lonnie was super helpful.

First - food was amazing! Wife and 2 kids have Celiacs and did not have any issues. GF Pizza was great! Cajun tots were awesome! They have a GF menu and servers were aware of the concerns.

Concerns/frustrations - they didn't keep all GF items separate from gluten items (I am not GF). So, they couldn't eat a few things we carried out. Server was annoyed when I asked to have staff change gloves and wipe down areas (common request anywhere we go). Server would not do any kind of substitutions or adjustments to order. Lastly, price seemed a little ridiculous to me. $11.50 for an 8" GF pizza (4 small slices).

However... I will pay extra for a place that does GF right; wife and kids really enjoyed meal and no issues!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sooo yummy! I had the hot turkey sandwich with GF bun. Very good!

Service was good. I was told there is no gluten free fish and chips but they offer gluten free buns and fries. Cool place to eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Above Average food. A step above Applebee's/Chili's. My daughter got the burger and the bun was good but the service was poor.

Good burgers & fries. Also g-free fish & chips. Both cod & halibut
