Red Robin

I was surprised when someone recommended Red Robin as a celiac friendly restaurant, but decided to give it a try. Their staff seemed knowledgeable about their food safety precautions and had the manager oversee the process. Have eaten there several times without getting sick.

Still need to be careful about what surfaces you touch on the way in and out, and there are contamination risks, but overall have had a safe experience and a sense that the staff knew how to handle the food with care. Gluten free substitute options have been very good as well. Certainly nothing that takes way from the experience at all.

Only downside is ordering requires comparing the physical menu to the online allergen menu, though the allergen menu is at least interactive and has “swap out” options for ingredients that need to be replaced.

2024 edit: have now eaten here probably around 15 times and have only once had what seemed like a clear gluten reaction, which I consider to be a pretty great record for an environment with so many gluten-containing foods eaten by hand. Easily could have been some other surface or something and not the food that caused the reaction. They seem consistently knowledgeable and careful. And the online allergy menu helps a ton with ordering.

Definitely recommend Red Robin for Celiacs.

They have safe gluten free options, but it’s very limited. I had a salad and fries, which even after talking to the waitress about having celiacs, came out with croutons. A manager went back and made sure the food was made safely. I didn’t get sick, but there isn’t a lot you can get without risking cross contamination.

I went with my family last night and they took us being gluten-free seriously. (I do it mostly for my dad who cannot eat gluten or he will get sick.)

They serve gluten-free buns and lettuce wraps, in addition to other gluten free items.

None of us feel sick or bad from it, which is great! I'm sure we'll be eating there again. Although, we don't typically eat out unless it's for a party (which it was).

Absolutely amazing! I have been coming quite often. I just let my waitress know about my gluten allergy, and I have never had any problems. I usually get french fries (they have a separate gluten free fryer) and a chicken Caesar salad. Thank you Red Robin staff :)
