Old School Bar and Grill

Something went very wrong here today. The server and I discussed the GlutenFree requirement for my "severe allergy" to gluten and inability to digest it. She seemed very aware and put in an order for the haddock sandwich to be prepared GF. As soon as I picked up the bun, it felt just too good to be true to be gluten-free. She went back to check, and it was indeed a toasted brioche bun, certainly not gluten-free. Then she suggested I still eat the fries, even though they had been laying on the bun. They took the sandwich off the bill but not the fries. Good reviews for this place but today was a real bust.

Exceptional GF food and extremely knowledgeable staff. Anything wasn’t immediately known was quickly answered by the kitchen. Dedicated fryer! The garlic Parmesan fries were incredible and the bolognese was exceptional (cooked in a separate pot/water). A gluten free lava cake for dessert was a wonderful surprise! I highly recommend this place.

The garlic parmesan fries and sweet potato fries are gf but regular fries have a wheat coating. We were told the fryer is dedicated. My celiac child's meal came out with a regular fry mixed in with his gf garlic parmesan fries but we didn't notice until after he ate some. The waitress thinks it was done while they were plating and offered to make new fries. Gluten free issues aside, it took an hour to get our food and both my husband and I got medium well steak instead of medium rare. I tend to be patient and rarely complain but I would not go back.

Dedicated fryer. Many gluten free items. My daughter (celiac) said the chicken fingers were the best she ever had. They looked so "real" she was afraid to eat them. We had to she confirm we had gotten the right order!

I had bruschetta chicken, also delicious!. Highly recommended this place!

They list items as GF but not all are celiac safe, they use a shared fryer so there is cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was delicious! Prices were fair.
