I clearly stated no gluten or dairy. My salad came out with croutons. Waitress was not knowledgeable and did not seem to take my intolerances seriously when i ordered. No gf menu except they hand you an allergy guide to go through.

We have always gone to Red Lobster for my dad's birthday and this time was the 1st time I couldn't eat gluten. Our server was knowledgeable and anything he was unsure about he was willing to find out for me. Red Lobster also has an interactive online menu with potential allergens in there most common dishes, which I had looked through ahead of time. Of course with most non-dedicated establishments, they state there's always a risk for cross- contamination. I got a special of garlic butter crab legs that come on a bed of crispy potatoes. I also got a side salad w/ ranch and the server assured me that that there would be no croutons on my salad. Everything tasted great and I had no symptoms.

I asked our waiter multiple questions about gluten free options and cross contamination. He gave me their nutritional binder that stated what was gluten free. I ordered a side salad and asked for no croutons. It came out with croutons so I told them I needed a new salad - they removed the croutons and gave me the same salad back. I told them again I needed a new salad cause of the bread crumbs. By the third time they had it corrected. I ordered shrimp, lobster, and scallops and told them to hold any orzo rice. My plate came out with several orzo rice grains on it. They were great about me ordering and looking through their nutrition binder but AWFUL about cross contamination!
