Sahm's Place

Came here for dinner. No GF Menu when I asked, though the regular menu lists GF buns as an option for their burgers. The waitress was kind, reassuring, and proactive. She asked the kitchen staff what things on the menu were GF (could hear them talking). One person in the kitchen said “I have no idea.” She came back saying that salads or pasta with no sauce could be GF.

I ended up ordering a salad and a baked potato. The baked potato was lovely. I’m also dairy intolerant. They checked the ingredients in the salad dressings for gluten and dairy and said the only option for salad dressing was oil and vinegar. The salad was very fresh and refreshing.

I asked if they could wash their hands or change gloves when making my food and if they could keep it separate from others foods and use separate utensils. The waitress said she would pass that on to the kitchen staff. I didn’t ask afterwards to make sure whether they had done that.

I thought it was interesting that they didn’t mention chicken, fish, pork chops, or steak as GF options, which are all on the menu.

I would come back in a pinch but am not very confident of this as a good option for GF. I have celiac disease but don’t get any symptoms if I’m exposed to gluten.

There’s a bar on the other side of the restaurant. I don’t know anything about what options are available there.

The people I went with had a meatloaf sandwich and a salad, and they both had mashed potatoes with gravy with their meals. They both liked their food. The restaurant serves Pepsi products, in case that matters to anyone.
