Spenard Roadhouse

Food was good but there is an extra charge for a GF side if fries are listed. Service not so great.

I was really excited to go because they had options listed in the menu as GF, but when I asked the server he said he wouldn't recommend anyone with Celiacs to eat there. I don't have any severe immediate reactions and so I'm not sure how they did, but the server made me uneasy about going there in the future. The other comments on here make me more hopeful though. (I had the tacos and they were super tasty!)

I loved it! I really didn’t know what to expect but I got a house salad as an appetizer and the salmon and risotto which was incredible! Salmon was a tad bit over done, which is common with pan seared meats but the rest was so good it made up for it! Definitely recommend.

Ordered the 3 for $15 veggie lunch (got Grilled broccoli, mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini) it had a ton of flavor and very filling as it was a nice size plate full. They do not have a designated GF station but they did ask a lot of questions when I explained I’m celiac and took extra care to not cross contaminate. Would recommend!!!

I enjoyed my meal so much I came back for take out another day on my trip. My gluten-eating dining companions also enjoyed their meals. I had a delicious and unique burger.

They are very conscious of cross-contamination. When I asked about the loaded tots which are not marked as gluten free, she said it was because they are fried in the same fryer as the calamari which has gluten in the breading.

My level of sensitivity is such that it was a reasonable risk and the tot’s were great - just what I was craving!

On a second visit, I had a sandwich on their gluten free bread. It is wonderfully soft and just like real bread. The avocado club was great!

Good tasting food. I had GF pizza and some of my husband's carnitas taco. I wish I would've asked for well-done pizza, as my pizza was a bit undercooked. I am not sure if it's celiac friendly. A little overpriced, but the atmosphere was nice.

I ordered a house salad and added shrimp. I don’t eat gluten or dairy among a few other things. The salad came and had a pile of garlic shrimp on top! I was so excited at the amount of shrimp!! They were great about checking everything added for safety. I was a little disappointed that they don’t have a dedicated fryer, So no tater tots for me.

We enjoyed the nachos and the tater tots! Both were excellent! We both did not get any reaction after eating.

Had the jambalaya. Was very good. Also had the super tots is what I think it was called. Also delicious. Didn’t get sick at all.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

good food, the menu nicely labeled gf items.

They had a good dinner and dessert menu that was GF. The staff was very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Biggest issue is the shared fryers. They label items gluten free that are fried in shared oil with gluten items. Verify when you order that items are not deep fried.

They have really yummy gluten free items - curry, jambalya

Just be careful and do not trust their GF labels on their menus. If you read closely - I think it says Gluten Free Friendly or something like that. Not OK for Celiacs. I still love going there, but am diligent about quizzing the server.

Tater tots are not OK for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

I've been here twice so far, and I probably will continue to go here whenever I have a hankering for some amazing pizza. Their pizza is sublime. Probably one of the best I've had. The staff each time has been semi-knowledgable and accommodating. If they don't know if something has gluten they'll go and ask some one who does know. The only bad thing is that they have a shared fryer so any fried food isn't gluten free. I suggest going to this place and get a bite of their GF pizza or other delicious gluten free meal options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service, GF clearly marked on menu, staff happy to help clarifying any issues on gluten content, great food, staff vocalized understanding of CC issues, but you may have to wait a bit.... It's so worth it! Best part = No bad reaction! 😀

My server was very helpful with selecting a GF item and informing the kitchen of my needs. He was extremely pleasant when dealing with my special needs. The food was delicious. I will definitely be returning.

Celiac friendly?

No

Good effort with a good-looking menu which indicated gluten-free items, but I definitely felt glutened after having the jambalaya entree.

The food tasted excellent, price was great, and the service was great, so I may not be giving up on it...

Great food, fun atmosphere. Willing to substitute things so my mom can eat their too!

Celiac friendly?

No

We had a terrible experience here. They tried to serve me the tater tots which are cooked in the same fryer as everything else. They even suggested them as an option. If I had not asked, I would have been glutened for sure. I ordered something else on the menu and when I took a bite there was a piece of broken plastic in the bite. I called the waitress over and she took my plate back to the kitchen. she asked if I wanted something else...of course I did not! then said, I'll take this off your bill. A mgr. came over and wrote down my name and phone number to have in case I went to the dentist. They still charged my husband for his meal. I won't go back.

They claim to be gluten free or gluten friendly but neither our waitress or the kitchen could answer my specific questions about items on the menu. I got sick after eating here. Was there with a larger party and none enjoyed their meals here or the service.

Celiac friendly?

No

Don't eat here if you have celiac disease. If you eat gluten free because it is "fashionable" you will be fine. Menu has disclaimer that they can't guarantee against cross- contamination. They describe GF as gluten -friendly, not gluten-free. I got horribly sick.....

Celiac friendly?

No

Love the GF choices here! Have the tater tots for sure! Staff is super cool & knowledgeable. Visiting from out of state & still came here twice!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menus were recently redesigned and gluten-free options are now labeled. There are not a lot of options but enough to keep me coming back. They have tater tots!
