Rio Station Restaurant

I'd give zero stars if that was an option. We've eaten at Rio Station many times. They have always accommodated my gluten free diet. Tonight we were celebrating my husband and my birthdays. Since the menu is limited due to COVID, they did not have rice like they usually make me as a side. The waitress offered couscous. I have never had couscous before. I asked if it was gluten free. She said she'd check with the chef. She came back and said it was gluten free. With the first bite, it tasted like pasta. I asked the waitress. She said it was a grain. I took another bite. I knew something wasn't right. I looked up couscous on my phone and discovered it is made with wheat. I immediately stopped eating. I flagged down another employee, who later turned out to be the manager. She never identified herself. She came out with the back and sure enough... in unavoidable letters, it said it contained wheat. I am now at home sick and missing out on celebrating with my family. I don't know if they changed ownership or something else, but I am so disappointed. This was a restaurant I've always trusted to eat at as a Celiac, but now as I write this so sick and in pain, I can confidently say that I won't be eating there again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Best Gluten free crab cakes I’ve ever had eating out!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu available. Waiter did not seem knowledgeable about GF. Didn't know which dressings were GF and did not offer to find out. Food was just okay

Called to check and they have GF rolls but do not have a GF dedicated fryer. The waitstaff was personable and worked to explain the GF options.

best crabcakes ever!!! plenty of choices for those of us using this app to pick places to eat!

we went to this restaurant because of the fanatic gluten free menu. the waiter checked with the chef after me questioning whether or not there was a dedicated fryer. chef Daud there was not. I told the waiter that they could not list an item on the menu as gf if they were going to cross contaminate. I spoke with the hostess, who was going to speak with the manager because there was supposed to be a gf fryer. please check before you order. the crab cakes were gf and fabulous!

Gluten free options on the menu! Had a great crab cake GF!

Great wings and excellent food choices. Knowledgable staff. Have had delicious meals here several times and have never been sick. The entire family loves this restaurant!
