Sassafras American Eatery Capitol Hill

Although they do not currently have a separate GF menu, there were so many items and the staff was so knowledgeable and took the time to describe flavors and textures. Loved it! I go the Blackened Catfish, fresh and zesty flavors with Dirty Rice, BF got a flight of Bloody Mary's (so fun) and the Red Beans and Rice without the Cornbread. Lot's of options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had to go back a second day for more grits. They really know what ingredients are in every dish. Happy to accommodate gf and very friendly staff. The cheddar grits special with pulled pork, pico, onions, and egg was seriously delicious. Southern porridge (buttered grits topped like oatmeal with bananas, pecans, and brown sugar) was worth the trip back the next morning.

The wait staff were very knowledgeable on what has a risk of cross contamination for celiac. They custom made my fried catfish with a gluten free flour and it was delicious!
