Good option for gluten free vegetarian burger. Tastes good. Staff was aware of gluten free requirements so ordering was easy stress free. Great option at Nashville airport ( location close to c gate 14-18)

I was a little nervous when I ordered - I explained I am celiac and will get violently sick even with cross contact. She at first didn’t seem to know what I meant … A few minutes the server came back to let me know that they were being extra careful in the back and it may take longer because they’re getting new cookware to use.

I ordered the GF Grilled Chicken on GF bun and the GF Vinegar Cole Slaw. It ended up being great and I feel safe.

(If I get sick I will update this review)

It is always hard to find good gluten free options when in an airport but this restaurant had some good choices. With the help of a knowledgeable server I had the grilled chicken sandwich and coleslaw and both were delicious! I would recommend to anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivities. The entertainment was great also while waiting for our next flight.

Food was tasty. Best option is the burger w GF bun, and either side salad or coleslaw. Bun was standard GF bun that fell apart, but everything else was fine. Live music in the background was also really nice... Decent and safe meal.

Labeled menu and was able to get a safe meal here. Burger with gluten free bun and slaw for the side. No dedicated fryer.

There’s not too many gluten free options at airports in general so I was excited there was a sit down place here in Nashville. I got just a regular burger with a gluten free bun, staff was helpful and knowledgeable. She did inform me their tater tots have flour and that the fries are fried in the same oil so they’re not safe. She allowed me to sub out the french fries for the mashed potatoes which were delicious. The food was good for what it is and the gluten free bun was, well a typical gluten free bun. Overall, I’m glad we were able to sit down and eat somewhere and we had a good time.

After reading other reviews I was skeptical. However, I went to see for myself. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with no bun, basically a grilled chicken breast with cheese and a side salad. It was delicious! Glad I gave it a try!

A great place to stop if you have a long layover. It took over 30 min to get my food but I was in no rush.

Food was labeled on the menu for allergens. It’s still airport food but was pretty good.

Loved the live music!

There’s gluten free bun ($2) and menu is marked. I did get the fries and so far so good. Definitely a risk but I didn’t eat before getting here and my flight was delayed. The bun wasn’t Udi’s but it was very dry and almost cold. Unless you really want a bun I’d skip it and save your $2. I didn’t get alcohol but I saw a seltzer on the menu. Music was good. If I was getting a burger on a non-delayed flight day I’d go to the Shake Shack across the way (no bun but they will lettuce wrap it).

Sat down an hour and 15 before my departure time, waited 15 minutes for someone to get my order. I got a gluten free burger and fries per the reviews. Food arrives 15 minutes later. I already don’t feel good. Something tells me something wasn’t gluten free. Anyway. I ate, and had to wait 30 minutes to get the waitress to notice me to pay my bill. THEN ANOTHER 10 MINUTES TO BRING ME THE BILL! Despite me telling her I needed to go for my flight. So I’m pretty sure I’ve been glutened, guess I’ll find out for sure on this flight that I barely made. UGH.

Had a basic burger (Old Tick Burger) with a gf bun. Bun was decent, not amazing, but I was grateful for it. Sides are fries or gator tots. Tots are not gf so I ordered fries, which are technically gf, but they are made in a shared fryer with other fried foods. So if you’re not celiac, fries are an option. I noticed a taco salad as another gf option, but not much else. They are a couple of gf sides too.

It’s an option, without many options. I had the breakfast burrito made open faced (no tortilla) but beware the potatoes are from a shared fryer.

This one is a bit tricky. After reading the positive review here and doing some research I was looking forward to having a place to eat in BNA that understood gluten free. The problem started with a waiter telling me they can handle gluten free just fine. This was followed by a waitress telling me there was absolutely nothing gluten free. Finally, another waitress told me that nothing from the fryer is gluten free as it is cross contaminated. This was after I had already ordered a burger and fries. So they cancelled my fry order and after a long wait (for an airport restaurant) I received a gluten free burger that was just ok. The bun was actually ok for gluten free but the rest was just meh.

If you are assertive and repetitive about your needs you will get some food here. However, I could see someone getting glutened here because they actually have items on the menu marked gluten free that are not actually gluten free. This is dangerous for a celiac

Ole Red - Blake Shelton’s restaurant at Nashville’s airport - is fabulous. The service is good, the chef is sensitive to all food sensitivities and allergies. The gf buns are homemade and fabulous. Fries are gluten free. And he even made us thousand island dressing from scratch to dip our fries. The only bummer was Pepsi products in the South. Go figure. They have gf tacos, salads, burgers, and sandwiches.
