Medieval Times

If you come here, I'll assume you know what you're getting into... it's a massive stage where actors do various tricks while riding horses like jousting and throwing spears. It's an interesting experience but I don't think I'd come back, felt the show got stale pretty quickly.

The majority of the food is gluten free, tell your server you can't eat gluten and they'll make sure yours is safe to eat. But you get literally choice in what you eat outside of dietary restrictions. And, eat without utensils since forks apparently didn't exist back then. The food tastes adequate with OK portions but you shouldn't come here if you're really hungry. But, I felt fine after the meal.

Whether you enjoy this comes down to how much you enjoy the show. Don't expect a gourmet meal, but rather one that does the job while you're entertained.

This is one of our favorite places to go when we come to Orlando. I live in Florida and come here often. I have NEVER been sick. Everything is gluten free with the exception of the bread. Which is kept in a separate area in the kitchen. Staff has always been incredible. Dessert is not gluten free depending on what it is (sometimes it's been an ice cream other times has been a pastry) food is always delicious and beyond filling. Not to mention you get an awesome show! Highly recommend. I have eaten here at least 10 times since being gluten free and have never had an issue.

The website said they had gluten free options on their website and said it can be requested at the time of the event.

When we got there I asked our informed our server and he was unsure what the gluten free options were. “His friend” aka another server thought that it all was except for the bread. I inquired about cross contamination in the kitchen, wanting to make sure the bread was prepared on a different surface than the other food. The server didn’t know, said he can’t talk to the chefs, and told me he would get his manager. Everyone else was served their meal, I waited. He couldn’t get a hold of a manager. Finally, when everyone was done eating and finishing dessert the manager came up to tell me that it was safe for me to eat the food. At that point I was frustrated and didn’t trust their word, so I didn’t eat.

It was an awful experience for a business that claims to be gf friendly. The show with the meal was also mediocre, so all around it was a negative experience. I recommend going elsewhere.

I was very happy to be able to attend my brother’s birthday party at Medieval Times last evening. The gluten and dairy free food items were good. Tomato soup, celery/carrots with hummus to replace garlic bread. Then the same meal as everyone else, just served first in its own plate. Dessert was Italian ice.

They were very knowledgeable on allergies. They didn’t have alternative options for an appetizer which was garlic bread but the rest of the meal was all gluten free. The dessert option was a doughnut but they offered either fresh fruit or Italian ice for a gluten free substitute.

I went fully not expecting to eat. My husband mentioned that I had celiac and the waitstaff jumped into action! They brought things for me that were all gluten free and even brought it out separately from the other food as to not cross contaminate. I never got sick! I was pleasantly surprised!

I emailed Medieval Times before the show and they assured me they could accommodate Celiac. Before the show, our waitress asked about allergies and I told her I had Celiac and could not have cross contamination. The waitress then put garlic bread on my plate and was confused why she couldn’t just take the bread off my plate and I could reuse it. She brought out veggies and hummus for me as a sub for garlic bread, but on the same tray as the garlic bread, dropped the veggies on the bread and then picked up and out them on my plate. Definitely cross contaminated!
