This place is not very gluten free friendly. They give you a large binder to reference while having to look through all allergens and play a matching game with said menu?

Ask for the kitchen manager, Jared. He was originally at Carinos and we would go there asking for him because he would cook specifically for my diet. The old kitchen manager was let go from O'Charleys and things have been running great since Jared has come along per the general manager. We also gave the general manager a crash course in Celiacs during our visit in early September 2014.

Celiacs beware! This place is a joke. Manager brought out the allergen list and proceeded to tell me that all the potatoes are a no-go because they are a starch. Seriously?? I don't trust a place to not make me sick when they don't even know what gluten is.

Great menu that showed all allergens, small gluten free choices. Food was fair and service friendly but slow.

I can’t really give it any stars bc I didn’t go in, and I’m not sure why it’s on this app. They don’t have anything labeled gluten-free on the menu, and when I called to see if they had gluten-free buns or bread or pasta, they said no. So I’m pretty sure all you can eat here is salad! (and bring your own dressing 😆)

Three days after eating a "gluten-free" salad I am still sick! Later learned they marinate their chicken in a flour mix, but it's on the allergen list as safe!!! Never returning.

Ordered a steak, salad and potato thinking it was the least likely to mess up... still ended up sick. Plus the steak and potatoes tasted very gross. My steak seemed more like a burger than steak. Overall super disappointed in the meal, and glutened.
