Olive Garden

I went there in May after seeing the website boast about gluten free accommodations. The waiter assured me what I ordered was gluten free and would be safe. My chicken tasted shrimpy. Not only did I get glutened, I got food poisoning as well. Trust me, I know the difference. When I called to complain, guess what they told me? That the chicken they fed me was BREADED but because it was pan seared you couldn’t tell. PLEASE do not eat here if you are sensitive to gluten in any way, especially if you have celiac. The only thing I would say you could confidently eat there is the house salad without croutons but even then it’s risky. Stay safe out there!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was okay to good. No gluten free menu, had to page through the electronic pad and look at nutrition info. The server was educated through, and when we ordered one side that was supposed to be gf she warned that they didn’t have dedicated dryers and they could not avoid cross contamination. We will have to wait and see if either of us react.

Friends frequently ask me to eat lunch there. Each time I have had so called gluten free entrées I have gotten sick. The restaurant does not guarantee that items are gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have tried going several times and each time, I have had stomach cramps and diarrhea after. I kept eliminating foods to determine what could cause it. Finally the last time I went I just ordered salad and again the same thing. I have now decided the cheese is getting contaminated somehow. I won't be returning either. It isn't worth the risk for Celiac folks.

I had the salmon and I was ill the next day. I believe I was glutened. Possibly the salad?. I'll never know for sure but I will never return.

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. A lot of the entrees can be substituted with gf pasta, or you can build your own pasta dish.

Gluten free pasta comes at no extra cost and is really delicious.

Staff is very aware and informed. Our waitress pointed out that the salad we got as a side had been made freshly to avoid any cross-contamination. I felt very safe.

I am gluten intolerant. Before ordering, I asked for a gluten free menu. I had already looked online to see what was offered, just wanted to see if anything new had been added. No actual menu (only online), but our waitress, Kelly, said she needed to get the manager to come speak with me. Afraid of possibly cross-contamination with the pasta dishes, I opted to be safe & ordered the 6 oz sirloin steak with broccoli, & the salad was served without croutons. Salad dressing was served in sealed individual cups. The steak was cooked perfectly & was one of the best steaks from a restaurant that I've had in a long time. I truly appreciated Kelly checking on me numberous times during our meal even though it was a very busy Saturday afternoon. Will definitely be dining there again.

AMAZING experience! They had all allergens listed on the ziosk. When I said I have celiac, they told the kitchen and all servers who would be attending to my table and everything was prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. They even had separate servers bring out my food to avoid it.

My experience tonight at Olive Garden was excellent. The waitress was knowledgeable about my options. Then the manager came over and acknowledged that I had requested for gluten-free options and insured me that they would change gloves to maximize safety. Then a third person came over to serve food and he pointed out that it was gluten-free and that they changed their gloves when making my food. I don't have allergies, but I am sensitive to gluten. I don't know if it would be safe for celiac, but it was safe for me.
