Short's Brewing Company

My son has celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination. We ordered a GF build your own pizza. It was delicious! They cook the pizzas on their own pan. No issues. Stay for a GF cider!

They finally have a dedicated gluten free menu! The GF pizza was so good and I did not get sick. I have gotten the nachos and salads both really good- but they added more which makes it even better!

Ordered the Feed The Fire pizza with maple sriracha, and it was delicious! They also have a variety of hard ciders and seltzers.

DECENT GF OPTION IN BELLAIRE - We did the walk-up patio ordering and dining. They had a really clear, separate gluten-free menu. We ordered the nachos and the spinach-artichoke dip with tortilla chips instead of crustini. The guy at the order window was really helpful, and the food was really tasty. I am not celiac, but have a pretty sensitive gluten intolerance and didn’t get sick. I would eat there again!

Called prior to making reservations and hostess assured me they were celiac safe And had “lots” of gluten free choices. Arrived at reservation time to be told that my reservation was for 8:45pm not 8:30pm, to which I proved her wrong with my reservation confirmation text. Anyway, sat down, place was ridiculously loud and crowded with several patrons obviously three sheets to the wind. Waitress was obviously irritated when everyone declined alcoholic beverages And only drank water. Asked the waitress if food would be celiac safe to which she had no idea. Went to ask. Came back and said yes we can do that. Already not feeling safe. Brought the gf menu. Went with the nachos. Requested no tomato. Nachos came with tomato. Sent back. They hand picked the tomatoes off and brought it back out…found one of the tomatoes beneath the paper under the nachos. Nice try. Nachos are chips with cheese And boiled chicken. Long story short, would NEVER go back, food was terrible and my son who is also celiac and got the “gf” spinach dip and nachos had explosive diarrhea after eating. Not sure where the 5 star review comes from. This place was not it.

I don't normally order salads at restaurants... but holy cow!! I had the Buckingham Green Salad and it was phenomenal! The gluten free menu is decently-sized and each option looks thoughtfully curated and delicious.

Nachos are only food besides salads that are GF. No indicators for GF food on menu.

Fantastic food and drinks! I have Celiac Disease and this is one of the few restaurants in the state that I have safely eaten at and not worry about getting sick. Staff is very knowledgeable about cross contamination and allergy protocol. I visited a few times for work related trips (Short’s was one of our awesome sponsors for our event) and it was wonderful to be able to have meals with my coworkers like a “normal” person!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Soup of the day was gf as was the nachos! I’m a Celiac and didn’t get sick. Fast service, too!

They have a separate menu with the gluten free options. No gluten free buns. I ordered the buenas tardes nachos and they were amazing!

While they specialize in craft beer and tavern fare they do have a couple ciders on tap. The best they can do for celiacs is 3-4 salad options, occassionally a daily soup like black bean chili, nachos. Everyone locally raves about the food here and on a busy weekend you will have to wait an hour for a table. Overall I think the food is average at best and my family (non celiacs) were not impressed with the pizza.
