Review of Tailgate Social

I'm rating this as someone with Celiac disease.

On Christmas Day my husband and I had lunch at Tailgate Social at Palace Station Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

There weren't many places open for lunch, so we ended up at this sports bar and restaurant. There was no gluten-free menu, nor any markings on their menu.

Staff was great in that the hostess told the kitchen that I am celiac and the chef came and spoke to me (it wasn't busy.) I ended up ordering the $16 Cobb salad but the chef told me that their shredded cheese contained gluten to prevent clumping, so she left that off. I was happy that she knew that and preemptively took that off.

--- Most people don't know that often, pre-shredded cheese in the US is not celiac-safe due to gluten being in the anti-caking agents.

When I put in my drink order, it went to the bar tender and the presentation of the $8 crockpot hot chocolate was completely different than what was stated on the menu. It came with three gluten cookies. Luckily they weren't in the drink, just on the saucer. I gave those to my husband to eat, but it's not something that I considered I'd need to confirm prior to ordering.

My husband, who has no dietary restrictions, had the $17 Nashville hot chicken sandwich with onion rings. He was very happy that the onion rings had no upcharge. He also ordered the $12 "Drink up Grinches" cocktail and was happy with it.

Overall, would I eat at Tailgate Social again - only if there was magically a cure for celiac disease or they had a marked menu. There's currently not enough options for me as a celiac to warrant a repeat visit for now.
