Review of Northvale Classic Diner

DO NOT go here if you're gluten free at all. I had been to this diner a few times before without any issue ordering gluten free items. But last night I went and was served a burger that I was told was on a gluten free bun but wasn't. They mixed up the buns with my partner's burger and I ended up with the regular gluten filled bun and my partner got the gluten free one.

I thought it might not be gluten free because of how it looked, but I asked the waitress and was assured it was (She also seemed annoyed with me for asking and didn't really look at the burger to make sure or check with the cook.) When I brought it to her attention a second time she then looked into it but I was halfway through the burger already!

Soon after I started feeling sick and have been itching all over since I ate it. I have an autoimmune condition that gluten exacerbates and it also causes me severe joint pain. On top of this I'm recovering from hip surgery and had just gotten out of physical therapy when I went here so the pain it caused me made everything so much worse!

They refunded the whole meal and were apologetic, but the waitress honestly seemed like she couldn't care less and when I confronted her she said "Well I put it into the computer as gluten free" as if that would guarantee there wouldn't be a mix up..Ugh! I'm so disgusted with this place.

Celiac friendly?
