Slippery Otter Pub

The menu says there are GF options but also says “high gluten kitchen” and had NO dedicated GF space. Talked to the manager (since the waiter just stared at me when I asked him) and she recommended celiacs NOT eat at this restaurant. Appreciated her candor.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

They were clear on their menu and verbally that their kitchen is full of flour. They have a gluten free bun available for their burgers. My burger came out on a bun that looked just like my husband’s gluten bun- I asked the waiter if it was a gluten free bun and she said no, took it back, brought me a burger on a gluten free bun. So if I hasn’t noticed, I would have gotten sick. Burgers weren’t great anyway.

The staff was very aware of cross contamination of food items. The choice is limited, but I was relieved to not have to ask all the usual questions. It was nice to know I had people looking out for me. They are also gluten free vegetarian friendly!

Do Not eat here if you have celiac! I spoke with the waiter he said they have gluten free pizza crust and buns but everything is prepared together. He gave me no indication they would take safety precautions while preparing my food. I did not eat there. The rest of the family did order and they said the food was ok.

First off, DO NOT attempt to take your own tortilla chips to enjoy with the spinach dip - it is NOT ALLOWED as per the supposed “health department regulations”. Secondly, DO NOT order ANY grilled chicken - as it is shipped pre-prepared and has a gluten preservative added.

I ordered the steak salad with no croutons. The salad was brought out with croutons. I explained to the person who brought out the food(not our waitress) that I have celiac and tell the cook they need to make a new one, not just pick them off. My husband made a mental note of the balsamic swirls on the plate. When they brought out the new salad he noticed the swirls on the plate were exactly the same. They did not card and just picked them out and brought the same salad. Our waitress, Trina, was very apologetic and said she chewed out the chef, who was new. They brought me a new one and it was good. The chef snd the person bringing out the food did not care about my celiac.

I had the appetizer wings, they were marked GF. Our waiter was knowledgeable on other items being cross contaminated and all the sauces being gluten-free.

If you are Celiac DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun. They brought out a burger with an regular bun. I asked for my meal to be remade with a gluten-free bun. There was clearly cross contamination with my food and I had a reaction within 30 minutes.

Not celiac friendly, very few GF options, cross contamination everywhere as the waiter mentioned, they don’t even try to make it safe for people with allergy or celiac. Overall really bad service. Poor management for covid safety.

Celiac friendly?

No

There was so much cross-contamination. They didn’t have any safety in place to help anyone with celiac

They had maybe 3 or 4 options of food. All of the food was way over priced. I do not recommend for anyone with celiac or any gluten allergy

The restaurant was horrible, the waiter came maybe 2 times. Owner kept talking to your face with her masked pulled down (during covid) spitting all over our table. When we asked her to put it on she complied but then when we asked if they had straws. She flipped out on us and kicked us out of the restaurant for being rude to her since they were under stress too. Do not spend your money at this establishment. Go somewhere else

“Gluten is everywhere” a direct quote my waiter, Cody L. Maybe ask for someone different if he’s your waiter

Got a tiny bowl of lettuce because there were no other options that were celiac safe (despite what the menu says)

The waiter was awful. Rolled his eyes when I said I have celiac disease, treated everyone terribly, said they couldn’t make anything celiac safe because it was already precooked. I typically give the benefit of the doubt, but not this time. It’s a very bad idea for them to label things gf and then not provide.

Gluten free bun on a burger was delicious! Not too many options ..but then again it is a sport pub. Perfect if you’re looking for easy fast casual dining. They do have omission beer if you’re into that too.

I got a hamburger on a gluten free bun, side salad, chocolate cake and everything was great. The bartender was aware of what was gluten free, and very helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome food with great GF options. Wings were VERY good and the burger with GF bun was solid. Nice service as well on a busy weekend

Excellent food! The waitress was very knowledgeable and checked on everything. She was even on top of possible cross-contamination risks!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I didn’t get sick, but the menu was pretty limited. We shared a couple big salads without the croutons, and they were nothing to write home about.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. They even had a GF pale ale.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No gf menu. Everything in same fryer

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The gluten free bun was pretty good but the server was slow and forgot about my husband’s soup.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF options marked on menu - however there is not a dedicated fryer so the “GF” wings and French fries are not for celiacs or strongly sensitive people. Our server was very knowledgeable and provided this info before I even finished the question. I had their GF pizza - it was delicious and I felt fine! They also have GF buns for burgers and sandwiches.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Slippery Otter has really good pizza, and even the ranch dressing is GF! They also had great service (and jokes!) I love the ability to eat here safely!! Sometimes it’s hard for me to eat safely because I have celiac, but I’m happy here! For all my celiac peeps: Enjoy!!

Emily Mortimore (10) Mom approved!! (And Allison (8), my Celiac sister approves too!!!)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable about GF concerns. Before we needed to ask about dedicated fryers, our waitress told us the fries are OK but the sweet potato fries are not. Son's GF pizza was good but pricey ($16). Granted, an average person probably could have shared it--it was a typical Udi's crust size. GF burger buns we're good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My celiac daughter got sick after having the "gf friendly spinach artichoke dip, a side salad with ranch) (no croutons) and a gf pepperoni pizza last night. We have had great experience at other restaurants and she has never been glutened eating out. Must have been cross contaminated. The waiter seemed to fully understand that we were dealing with an allergy. Just the way it goes.. Be warned!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great gluten free buns (tasted delicious) and accommodating staff.

Good "pub" food. Good Spinach Artichoke dip (served with corn chips). Udi's crust pizzas with good variety of toppings. Red sauce was ok, but not amazing. Olive oil instead of sauce was good. Some other burger options. Their service was great (but we were there at 10pm). Awesome that they serve full kitchen until 11pm where most restaurants close at 10pm here and we didn't leave the Park until 9pm. Not amazing, but pleasantly surprised after the previous reviews here.

Service was poor. They could do burgers on udis buns, fries were cross contaminated. Ended up with a salad with grilled chicken (cold & DRY) I happen to also be corn intolerant, which takes out udis. Salad had 2 baby carrots, 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 cucumber slices and romaine lettuce. Not impressed

Celiac friendly?

No

Just ok - very expensive restaurant and charges extra for EVERYTHING-very limited in selection for gluten free celiac. I called ahead & was told Pizza crust was made next to the regular crusts & would be cross contaminated. They did have GF Udi brand buns but fries were not cooked in a dedicated fryer. We understood these things before we got there. What we did not realize was there wasn't other options besides to substitute a salad ($1 extra). She asked without a salad (or fries) if she could order vegetables- the server said it would be extra! With already paying $2 for the gf bun ( and $1.50 to add cheese) she decided to just have the burger. Another person in our party had a regular Swiss mushroom burger ($14) & tasteless. Both burgers were dripping with fat ... buns were soggy. Our server mentioned that she could have the pizza but when I mentioned I had called & was told it could be CC he kinda laughed about it. My thought is if you are going to say you have GF items you should have more than 1 choice and have choices in sides. West Yellowstone sure has been a challenge- luckily we had a condo & could make meals ourselves.

Celiac friendly?

No

Only thing on tap to have was Angry Orchard hard cider, but the staff was very knowledgable and helpful. The pizza was expensive (tourist town prices+gf prices) and just Udis crust but they were made really well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place with delicious GF options. Waiter went to ask when he wasn't 100% the BBQ sauce was GF. Highly recommend.

Awesome gf pizza crust and hamburger buns. No separate fryer - so stay away from fries or sweet potato fries. Ate here two nights, no side affects.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great Bison burgers with GF buns. Great food!

The Slippery Otter Pub was an overall good experience, the best part being not getting sick. The staff however isn't all knowledgeable and those who are still don't know the lengths to which gluten can be found. For an appetizer, there was Artichoke Dip and Corn chips which was absolutely delicious. For the meal I ordered a Bison Burger with Bacon and the GF bun. Honestly, the best gluten free burger I've had. My mother who joined me had a pizza with mushrooms and said it was fine, but not especially bad or good. While our server was kind, he seemed surprised that salad dressings and meat could have gluten in them which worried me a little but everything turned out fine and neither of us got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu lists many "GF" options, including fries. Don't believe it! They do not have a dedicated fryer. The waitress was great, and did her best to help us. She warned us that there's flour all over the kitchen; the GF notations are basically for fad GF dieters. Kids tried the GF pizzas, & waitress asked the cook to take extra care. My younger child still got glutened.

Celiac friendly?

No

We were to the point in our vacation where we just wanted PIZZA... This was the only place in town that said it had GF pizza.

It was most likely an UDI's crust.. It had that taste and it was only available in a 10" size. There is a $4 up charge for GF and since it is bigger than a small pizza (but smaller than a medium!) they charged the medium price. So my 10" mushroom and pepperoni pizza was $20! Most pizzas would be $25+.

The pizza was okay. Nothing fantastic, but not horrible.

There were an unspecified amount of spicy chicken wings for $9 labeled GF and an artichoke dip with GF chips. They also had GF hamburger buns available.

Awfully expensive for 'just okay.'

We went here based on others good reviews. The hostess told us they only have gf pizza. I asked two more times to clarify & she was firm. I finally asked for the manager who then said yes they do have gf burgers. They do not have a dedicated gf fryer. Food was ok. Not fabulous, not bad.

Ps: my son & I both had upset stomachs within 2 hours of eating here. Hmmm...coincidence or not???

Celiac friendly?

No

Thankful for this find on our trip. Waitstaff was very helpful and knowledgable. Best burger on a gf bun I have had in long time. Being able to enjoy a gf beer with my burger was a bonus!!

Many gluten free options, semi-knowledgable staff, Omission and New Planet beers, Abbas.Udi's buns for burgers. The fryer is nit dedicated, however.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We loved this pizza!! Since going GF a few years ago, I have always felt like I had to settle for second rate food and would have the saying, "not bad for GF". Not so with this pizza, my while family thought this pizza was outstanding by non GF standards. We also appreciated having a GF beer with our pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have GF options which is nice in a small tourist town. The buns are UDIs. The pizza is pretty good, if you like spicy sauce.

GF Spinach Artichoke Dip with Corn Chips was Excellent & GF Pizza crust was very good plus Omission beer & Angry Orchard cider on tap too!

Fried food isn't GF, but they have buns and my family didn't have any issues. The waiter and staff seemed knowledgeable. I would make the trip again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their fries are not gluten free. No dedicated fryer!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Omission beer & Angry Orchid Cider. GF buns, pizza crusts and fries. I had the pizza, it was excellent.
