Red Hawk Bar & Grill

I used to come here often when I was in grad school before my diagnosis. I had not been back since. I was very pleasantly surprised to see they currently have one of the most specific menus I’ve ever encountered referencing what was gluten free and not. Specific to the point of noting which foods (chips, fries) were themselves gluten free but prepared in a shared fryer and therefore not recommended for celiacs. The level of detail was very appreciated. Our server was very well versed in gluten free foods and helped us to modify certain items to be prepared safely gluten free. Overall it was a great experience and I was so happy to feel comfortable coming back to a place that I had known well before. Terrific!!

The waitstaff was really responsive to my questions, which was the only positive. Many items are marked gluten free that are actually not gluten free, such as the fries and the nachos. I didn't end up eating anything.

I have gotten sick there 2 times. Never going back. I asked the waitress 3 times if something was for sure GF. She even ask the cook. I got sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Marking is confusing (they mark fries gf but fries go info fryer with battered foods) but server was v knowledgeable and helpful. They have gf options for nachos (they deep fry their own tortilla chips) and sandwiches/ burgers but there's an upcharge for these options, which I personally find discriminatory. However, I was able to eat there and did not get glutened.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had things like fries marked gluten free that were from a shared fryer. Upon asking about the fries and other items, the waitress was unfriendly and unhelpful. I did not feel safe eating here, so we left.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’m so disappointed. Bartender knew next to nothing about food prep and had to keep passing off questions. I ordered chicken sandwich with gluten free bun. Order came out and I questioned the bun - not GF. They immediately returned and brought back “new” sandwich. I asked if it’s been entirely remade and they said they just transferred chicken and toppings to new bun. After I talked to manager and despite the menu having GF clearly denoted, they said they can’t guarantee GF because “it’s a scratch kitchen”. Ugh.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu makes it easy to tell what you can eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free items are labeled on the menu. Their salads were tasty and filling, which cannot be said for many gluten free salad options. I did not have a negative reaction to eating here.
