O'Brien's Public House

They do have a gluten free Menu now. Lots of options. We have been there a few times and the servers have been great. They told me before I asked that they had a dedicated fryer. I’ve had the pizza and today a burger. They were both really good.

We have been here twice and both experiences have been ok. There are 3 of us with Celiac. The first waitress was super knowledgeable and could answer our questions. Dinner was great but there was a lot of confusion about ordering their "GF" ice cream malt. They were horrible. Decided to try again and the waitress was willing to ask but could not answer any of the questions we had including which salad dressings were safe. My salad had an unsafe dressing and overall the experience left me questioning safety. We won't be back which is a bummer because there are almost no options in Shakopee.

I am gluten sensitive, not celiac. I was not offered a GF menu; server asked what I was interested in and she said the kitchen staff would verify/ensure all was safe. Ordered the pot roast sandwich, no bun (but was told there was a GF bun available). Came out with what looked like French’s French-fried onions on top, definitely breaded. Since I wasn’t clear if they were GF, I pushed those to the side since I’m not super sensitive. They did say they had a separate fryer for the potato fries. I would advise caution. Pot roast was delicious though.

Menu doesn’t designate gluten free outside of flatbreads, but has a separate GF menu upon request. Decent amount of options, but be careful- Despite requesting and having to wait for the GF menu, still specifying that I wanted GF bread when I ordered, and asking the waitress if the one she handed me was gluten-free (someone else at my table ordered the gluten-full version with a different side, and the sandwiches looked identical) which she confirmed it was, a few minutes passed before they took back my tray because they gave me the wrong bread. I had been talking and hadn’t eaten it yet, but it was a bit of a close call. She returned with a new sandwich and instead of a proper roll, it was generic GF toast. Apologies were given, and I hadn’t eaten it, but it could have been a huge issue considering she confirmed it was gluten free when I was doubtful.

Overall, decent amount of options, and what I had was really good. BUT be careful and if the bread looks like it didn’t come out of a freezer bag, triple check.

I ordered the Cubano sandwich with fries. They have great house made pickles, crispy fries and a quality sandwich. Not celiac, but no reaction tonight and I'll be back!

The staff is somewhat knowledgeable and accommodating. Some are better then others. I go to the pub because the French fries are supposed to be “gluten free.” But, unfortunately, most times I’ve been, I’ve gotten sick. Not many options in Shakopee.

Dedicated fryer! Great gluten free menu - I’ve had a wide variety of meals there and everything has been delicious! They also have gluten free cheesecake every day and they change the flavors each month. Great atmosphere, great food, we love it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy!!! Great GF menu and great food!! Will definitely be back

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've eaten there several times. I've always had the hot headed Irishman burger, which was delicious. i don't know what precautions they take (because I'm too nervous a person to ask), but I haven't gotten sick, and I'm usually really sensitive to gluten.
