Review of Story Tavern

This place has excellent reviews on this app, and people rave about it in the gluten-free Facebook forums I am a part of. So it was no problem to drive the 45 minutes to this restaurant to try the gluten-free fried chicken sandwich. But that’s where all the good vibes ended.

The sandwich came out blackened burnt. There was MAYBE 2 oz of chicken on the bun - it was mostly fat and batter.

Making matters worse our server never checked on us until after the meal. So I had nothing to eat.

When she finally did after everyone was done eating, and I explained what was wrong with the sandwich, she acted like I was the problem.

The restaurant also simply didn’t care that this had happened.

My time, my dinner, all a waste.

My daughter had the GF pasta and while the noodles hold up the fake cheese sauce is gross and caused massive tummy troubles later.

All in all I do not get the massive ratings for this place. Totally underwhelmed and there’s an Asian GF fried chicken place in East LA you should go to instead.
