Review of Meyer's Olde Dutch Food & Such

Conflicted about leaving a review here, but just to possibly help someone else. Lots of good ratings on here and Gluten Dude approved. The employees were very knowledgeable when I ordered and I felt safe eating there- they reassured me separate fryer for the fries, they had gluten free buns. They brought my food out separately and confirmed it was gluten free. I truly feel like they did their part- I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. The bun was delicious and I had to do the double check- “Are you sure this is gluten free!?” and they confirmed.

My “glutening” episodes usually start two hours after eating gluten like clockwork- I was at a concert and the nausea started, and my vomiting episode started in a public space- which is my worst nightmare! I called and the same employee that was there earlier confirmed all gf precautions were taken. He seemed sincere, but did mention the buns were from a bakery in Coldspring. Some of the previous reviews mentioned Udi’s buns, so I’m wondering if the bun itself was cross contaminated before ever getting to the restaurant if the bakery isn’t dedicated GF.

Eat at your own risk. If you’re sensitive to CC ask about where the buns are from before ordering. If I knew the GF buns were possibly from a shared bakery I would not have eaten here.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. All of our GF buns are made in a GF bakery. We do not use large brand names buns. Our buns are locally sourced and are also dairy and soy free. All employees are well versed in the background of our GF buns.
