Review of Ruddy Duck Tavern

Before eating here, I came to inquire about gluten-free options. The hostess immediately starting speaking our language. She told us that everything that was on the menu could be made gluten-free. They had dedicated fryer, rolls, pasta, etc. So, I came back a week later to try them out. I was both excited and worried at the same time. The waitress that we had was amazing and knew everything about gluten-free options, and assured me that I would be fine. She was right on point. I had the best gluten-free pizza! I know, pizza, but I always start with "plain" options because I can't always eat the fancy meals. The waitress also told me that the meal my husband had ordered was also gluten-free so that I didn't have to worry about tasting his meal if I wanted. I didn't, but it was nice that she went out of her way to let me know I wouldn't get sick. It was such an awesome feeling to be able to order directly from the same menu that my husband was holding without feeling like an outcast. The food was amazing!!! We enjoyed ourselves so much, we returned a few days later with friends. Again, we were not disappointed. This time I ordered the burger with fries. I also have allergies to some of the old grains, so I emailed them ahead of time about the types of pasta and burger bun ingredients so I wouldn't have to make the waitress find out once we arrived. To my surprise, they responded within a short time and they answered all of my questions. My burger was awesome and my fries were too! I highly recommend this establishment for your gluten-free dining. Everyone we have encountered are just awesome, friendly people! The bonus is I had no illness whatsoever!
