Six Flags Great Adventure

We were so happy to see a dedicated gluten free place that was safe for my daughter and I. It took a long time as there was only one person taking and preparing orders but we went on a ride and by the time we came back, the food was ready. They have geefree pizza pockets and they give a ton of chicken nuggets (though no fries) - it was perfect.

Review 4/30 Sooo much better!! Gluten free chicken nuggets were really good and freshly made in front of us, gave us a great portion too. Park was cleaned, more ppl staffed and friendly.

Review 10/2021 We were at Six Flags great adventure yesterday. My daughter is 5 1/2 and has early onset celiac, and I have a gluten intolerance. We tried to order the gluten-free chicken nuggets from the villains café. I was very excited at first to see a place that was dedicated gluten-free options, however they ran out of the chicken nuggets and the person working there was unsure if there was anything else my daughter could have because she is also dairy free to. He let me know that the Mack and cheese was also vegan and gluten-free so we ended up ordering that for her. When we went this poor guy was literally by himself taking orders ringing people up and making the food. After a few minutes he waved me back to pick up the mac & cheese and it was literally a microwavable TV meal of maybe a scoop or two of the mac & cheese still in the microwavable container with the film on it placed in a basket. We paid $12 for a microwave TV dinner. The only reason why I’m giving it to stars instead of one is because my daughter actually ate it. I was thinking about trying the pizza pockets prior to realizing that all of their gluten-free options were all microwavable meals. And half of them were not even available because almost everything in the park was sold out. I know they do not allow food and drinks from outside in this park, take my advice and do not bother getting any meals from the park. The snack options were nice that they had a couple of safe prepackaged things but it is not worth eating a meal at the park. I’m glad we went later in the day so we had already eaten lunch before entering, it would make more sense to go back out to your car and either pack some thing in a thermos and take a break or leave the park go out to dinner somewhere that actually makes the food for you that is safe and then go back to the park at night when the crowds are less. Six Flags has a lot more that they need to improve upon if they’re going to start boasting about having gluten-free options. Very far behind other amusement parks that actually have food that is not microwavable premade and will dedicate options to allergies such as Hersheypark, Knoebels, Busch Gardens, and of course the bigger parks like Disney and Universal.

I ordered the chicken nuggets at the Villians cafe. I was so happy that they actually had gluten free food and their own gluten free stand. Wish the chicken came with fries like every other meal at GA does though. Service was slow as there was only 2 people working at the place. The food was decent and I don’t get sick.

Villian’s Cafe is a 100% gluten free facility with chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, pizza pockets, cookies, and brownies. I am glad six flags has a GF place that is safe to eat at but the service is terrible. There were only two people working. It took 20 minutes, maybe more, to get my food. They did warn us that it will be a wait and I understand being understaffed. It just sucks when there is only one place that is safe for celiacs and you have to wait forever to get your food. I would definitely rather bring my food in a cooler and eat it in the car (which I usually do) walking out to my car would have taken a shorter amount of time.

Go Fresh Cafe says "Now serving UDI's GF", & the technician says "I know we have that sign, but they never give it to us." LOL! Yes, I will ask for the manager each time as I bring my own snacks, lest I get sick. They have no options for folks w/ Celiac or Hashi's Disease.

Celiac friendly?

No

Completely inept. Aside from 2 dishes at 2 restaurants that are relatively close together(gf Mac and cheese and gf chicken nuggets) they are completely incapable of providing information on what traditional items are gf in their park. We went to "guest" services on day 1 when we entered the park and requested a list of GF items by location just like we get at Six Flags New England. We were told by both the rep and the supervisor that "they can't have a list for everything." When my Celiac daughter requested nachos we approached the stand with the same name as the nacho stand at the other park where we can eat anything but the rice. Neither the worker or the supervisor there could advise what was/wasn't gf and just kept repeating the names of the 2 restaurants with the 2 items mentioned above. Upon reaching the restaurant at 8:10pm when the park closes at 10, said restaurant was closed, though workers remained inside. The manager could again provide no info on additional alternatives within the park and when pressed did find a way to heat up 2 of the Mac and cheese dishes for us. On the following day I followed up with guest services providing a 2 page write up and requesting a manager to contact us with viable options by lunchtime, 1pm. They've missed that deadline by 18.5 hours and counting. I will now be following up with an ADA complaint in addition to contacting corporate as this shouldn't be a different scenario park by park. On a side note, my daughter really does,like the mac and cheese and nuggets they do offer when we can get them.

Follow up: 9 days after leaving the park i did receive a call in reference to the email I sent the same day I turned in the notes asking me to call back and request a supervisor. We are way past that as the ADA complaint has been filed with the DOJ. I will update if any meaningful changes result. I did also leave a message with corporate 4 days ago to discuss this issue and have yet to receive a response.

Celiac friendly?

No

they advertise a gluten free menu and placed but they are closed half the time and don't have a lot of options, was a horrible experience!!! don't waste your money on the season pass for food

Celiac friendly?

No

If you have celiac there are little to no options. We attempted to eat gluten free chicken nuggets but failed - we nicknamed them "chicken gum." Very disappointing- sneak in your own food.

I don't know if it is 100% celiac friendly, but I think that some of the foods were packaged elsewhere. The menu says that everything is made to order and I saw a lot of refrigerators from the window. I am enjoying my gluten free chicken nuggets. They also gave me lettuce without the croutons, which I appreciated. They have multiple signs advertising Udi's food service. They also served prepackaged kosher meals.

Celiac friendly?

No
