Rainforest Cafe

Fantastic experience! Our server has celiac so he guided me through the menu. The manager came to our table and filled out an allergy ticket for the kitchen. This was the best eating out experience I have had since my diagnosis 2.5 years ago.

GF options on menu, our server had a reasonable knowledge. He said they could modify a lot of the dishes & if I wished to speak to the Chef, he’d be more than happy to come out & discuss my needs. Had the Spaghetti Quinoa & was ok.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered the quinoa spaghetti and it tested positive for gluten with my NIMA. I asked the staff to make sure everything was safe and sanitized, however there was still Gluten found. I gave it 2 stars because the manager was very kind.

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter ordered the mini burgers no bun and they baked her fries for her. The manager was very helpful and let us know her food would be on a bright pink ticket so everyone was aware of her allergy in the kitchen!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Manager Chris was extremely knowledgeable. Very friendly and accommodating! They have options for most of their food, baked my fries in the oven and double checked on all additional ingredients to make sure I was safe. Will def go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update. Went back a second time today and even after speaking with the manager, and confirming twice, they served my 5 year old regular pasta. 2.5 hours later my daughter was bent over in pain throwing up with a stomach ache. I called to speak with a manager who confirmed she was served the wrong noodles (spiral are not gf). This place makes an effort, but failed majorly today. Old Review: Amazing! Let them know about your celiac, and the manager comes to the table to explain the many options that are not even on the menu. Great for my daughter and I! They even promised no cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Enjoyed a meal here with my mom. (We had a mother-daughter day) asked before getting seated about gluten free options. The manager came out and pointed out the choices. I can rarely enjoy French fries because of contaminated fryers.... But she stated that if I'd like fries they would bake them. Great option. Very helpful. Cute restaurant. Didn't have any tummy issues either.

The wait-staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free, celiac and cross contamination. They don't have a separate menu but they can tell you exactly what on their menu is gluten free or what things they can easily change to accommodate you. They are also very patient when they have to go verify an item is gluten free for you. I had the guacamole burger (no bun) and it was fantastic!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitstaff was amazing and assured us there is a dedicated dryer for fries and chips. My kids are both celiac and extremely sensitive and didn’t have any issues. There’s also a pasta option, but we didn’t have it.

While they have a gluten free bun and pasta, I find the atmosphere more enjoyable than their food.

I went for dinner. There are a couple of options marked as gluten free at the menu. However they can make sandwiches and hamburgers with a gluten free bun.( Not sure about de seasoning). I ordered the China chicken salad. the staff help me making that one gluten free by removing a couple of ingredients.

Did not understand cross contamination or celiac unfortunately.

Went here because they had gluten free options. Server ensured he understood me, said the burger was the only thing I could get - and when I said I couldn’t have fries in a shared fryer, told me they could bake the fries since they’re made in a shared fryer.

I did have the gluten menu pulled up on my phone but didn’t seem to know anything about it. So, Got the burger on the gluten free bun with baked fries, as it was my only option.

Dish showed up, a burger, covered in fries. Then he said, these are the regular fries, but the baked are coming out.

So all my gluten fries were covering my plate/burger.

Pretty sure the burger had a regular bun on it, could not confirm, so did not eat..

Server brought me a plate much later with baked fries, which was all I could eat.

Super disappointed, and needed to leave so did not send the burger covered in gluten fries back.
