Probably one of the best service at a dining experience since being GF the last 5 years. Manager is alert as gives insight as wel as server is very very understanding of the importance of allergy concerns. Highly highly highly recommend this place. UDIs buns available, they are up front about shared fryers, and super flexible with modifications! Outstanding!

Few options !! But a manager does come and speak with you about options and aware of cross contamination. I ended up getting a salad, the other option was a gf burger. Barely any sides options. Nothing fried is safe. So safety wise good, but not many options.

This place was amazing. Manager is required to come out and speak to you. Knew exactly what cross contact was. They have gluten free buns to go with the burgers and their homemade chips are also gluten free. Food was EXCELLENT!

Very impressed. I mentioned our son has Celiac disease. They said any allergy or intolerance of any kind is handled by a manager.

Manager personally came out to greet us and gave us our options to ensure the absolute lowest risk of cross contamination.

10/10.

I had a mushroom and swiss burger with a side salad with ranch dressing. The gf bun was a little spongee, but the patty was very good. I would probably get a double patty next time to over compensate for the bun. The ranch dressing was also very good. No issues.

No gf menu. They do have gf buns, waitress checked with kitchen as to what is gf. Manager came out to assure me they make food in a dedicated space, clean gloves, etc. Shared fryer, so had a house salad instead. Waitress doublechecked dressing was gf as well. Very good experience!

Excellent service. I was very impressed on how knowledgeable the wait staff was. Our waitress told us that the chips and fries can have cross contamination and offered several other options. The manager cane to the table to reassure us that kitchen staff would be preparing my meal separately and even a different server brought my meal. Very good food too. Highly recommend

Manager came out to our table and informed me of safety and precautions. Didn’t feel sick after eating the gouda burger on a gluten free bun with a side salad and spicy ranch. They seem to take allergies very seriously. Delivered my food separate from everyone else’s.

I went during the late night menu so it was limited, but I had the Gouda cheeseburger with a side salad and it was amazing, no reaction. The gf bun did not crumble and the server was very knowledgeable about the precautions the cooks make.

Just went last night... great server! The sales and all dressings are gf. Shared fryer so that means no house chips as well as fries even though they are gf themselves. They do have a gf bun for their burger *I don't know the taste because I ordered a cobb salad*. I only say celiac friendly because of the server I had knowing a lot. She started explaining without skipping a beat and understood cross contamination from the fryer for no house chips.

Asked for a gluten free menu and they came with their binder indicating allergens. Manager came to the table a few minutes later to review it with me, and assure me they have separate GF pots/pans and prep area for GF meals. Warned me that like any restaurant cross contamination can occur but they do everything possible to try to prevent it. Had a Nacho burger and did not get sick., with fresh jalapeños on it instead of battered. They offered a side salad or cooked veggies as an option instead of the fries that go in a contaminated fryer. Tortilla chips are also deep fried so no nachos... cheese and guac are safe thou. Had Angry Orchard cider or Greens GF IPA as a certified GF option.

My husband (not GF) and I sat at the bar and I ordered at White Claw in a can, knowing that it was GF with no possibility of cross-contact. The bartender immediately asked me if my GF status was a result of a dietary restriction or an “antibody reaction.” I explained that I had celiac disease and he handed me their “special binder” and explained that they had a separate prep space for those with allergies.

I ordered a simple cheeseburger and salad, and it was fantastic.

This restaurant (to date) is incredibly Celiac safe. If you have T.J. as your bartender/waiter, you’re in excellent hands.

The gf procedures here are the most comprehensive of any restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Even coming to the bar for a late night burger, I was greeted by the manager who outlined the procedures they have in place to protect their customers with allergies. They even take off $2 if you skip the side (no gf fryer) which is a refreshing change from the typical gf surcharge most restaurants have!

Amazing food. Enjoyed a burger on a gluten free bun with a side of veggies. Also a gluten free brownie sundae. Amazing. Monks has a binder for you to page through to show what is gluten free. The manager also checks your order. The cook changes gloves. Thank you.

I’ve got to hand it to Monk’s. This is our third time here over the course of two years, and I think they have the GF thing down. Each time, at the mere mention of wanting a GF menu, a manager comes with a binder that shows each food component and allergens. The waiter then confirms the order with the manager before entering it. My severely wheat-allergic son loves it. Note that there is no dedicated fryer, but they’ve been fine with me bringing in outside safe fries for my son.

Service is ok. Ambience is sports-oriented, so it's a good place to hang out during games. The Glutenfree buns for burgers are good, but a little soggy. My family who didn't have celiac had better menu choices. There is no GF menu, but they'll hand you a 10-page allergen checklist that's like a spreadsheet on each page, so you still have to ask about allergens and gluten. Do not eat the chips or fries. All fryers are shared with gluten. There's no option for baked potato, but the side salad is a dried-out bit of iceberg with some chopped veggies and way too many chopped black olives. They can't guarantee that things are 100% GF, but I haven't gotten sick eating here. Servers call gluten an "allergy" issue, FYI. Ask servers to have kitchen staff change gloves.
