Ridgewalker Brewing Company

My wife has celiac disease. She ordered a cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. The bun was $3 which is pretty spendy but she said the bun was the best she ever had and the cheeseburger was delicious. Although the menu states that the sweet potato fries are gluten free, they are definitely not. They do not have a dedicated fryer.

We did not realize it until the end but they do sell gluten free beer in a can. The person that took our order at the bar was not aware because it wasn’t on tap.

One of the only items clearly listed as gluten free are the pork tacos; I don’t like pork much, but I ordered it. I alerted the staff that I have celiac, and they made notes to the kitchen to prevent cross contamination. I liked the food and the service was great…

But within an hour I realized the kitchen staff might not have known how sensitive celiac sufferers can be to cross contamination, because I got sick. 😖

Giving 2 stars because I have been there once before, ordered a sandwich on a gf burger bun with a bag of gf chips as the side, and I had no reaction.

There is not a gluten free fryer, they cook everything on a flattop that has lots of opportunities for cross contamination. They do have Udi’s buns. The chips are fried, so no nachos or taco salad. Basically, it’s just lettuce that is safe. Very disappointed. They were very nice, but not celiac safe at all.

Menu is clearly labeled with gluten free options. This is my favorite gf option in the Grove. I have Celiac and haven’t gotten sick here. One time I asked about the fries and they weren’t sure so they called the chef after he’d left to check. They take the time to care. The tacos are to die for!! Zombie fries are also a Sunday favorite! I would highly recommend!

Decided to check them out after they posted their new menu on the NextDoor app and I saw they have a lot of things labeled gluten free. However, they do not have a dedicated fryer, so my only option seems to be a burger with gf bun and side salad. Ok, that's fine, I don't need French fries. Well, the plate arrives and the salad has croutons on it. I ate the burger--it was just ok--gave the salad to my husband. Won't be returning.
