Tamarack Tap Room

Menu didn’t denote any gf options or a dedicated fryer, so it was based on the knowledge of our server. She was fairly knowledgeable but had to double checked on a few items. Got the Nachos based on her recommendation, which came out with a stick to designate the allergy. Later found out that the chips are cooked in the fryer. Our server didn’t know this fact (asked about the fryer for the fries) so I ended up getting sick.

No gluten free menu. Nachos were highly recommended as being good and gluten free. They are made in the same fryer as gluten products. Unfortunately we made that mistake. I would not recommend for celiac

I went for a light lunch & cocktail. Not a dedicated gluten free fryer, and two of three street taco options were "gluten-free friendly" (the shrimp is breaded). My waitress was well-versed in all the lingo and let me know that the head chef would prepare my food in the safest way possible. I felt confident in that! This is a nice option for a happy hour vibe - and the patio is huge!

They are gluten aware even though they have limited gluten free items they do try their best to not cross contaminate. I was initially told by the waitress that the nachos were gf but when they were brought out by the manager they told me that they make their own chips and fry them in the same oil as other breaded items. They could see my discomfort, apologized, and immediately made me their GF tacos that were absolutely delicious. Very happy with the accomodative service and will definitely come back.

Wait staff asked if I had a gluten allergy when I ordered my burger and no bun.

The manager delivered my meal and said the kitchen changed gloves before my plate was prepared.

I always get a salad instead of usual fried side and have not had an issue

There is NOT a gluten-free menu for this establishment. While a gluten-free bun is available for burgers, there really isn’t a wide variety of gluten-free meal options. Salads with no croutons, a few burgers with a GF bun, and reportedly, the chicken wings. There may be a couple more options that may appeal to others, but it’s definitely not spelled out on the menu. I got a burger. As a celiac, I feel fine, though I had a salad for a side and not fries or tots, which do not come from a dedicated fryer.

Had to ask, and waitress, while pretty knowledgeable, had to check with the kitchen. They are Gluten Sensitive, not GF on their items, so wouldn't recommend it for sensitive Celiacs.

We had a great dinner here. The server made me feel very safe and even stated that he had celiac…. Food was good, we’ll be back!

Got a burger with a gluten free bun. Big bun worked/held together pretty well until the end. Very good. They also have some good ciders although I’m unsure how they clean out between taps.

They were very good about asking if it was an Allergy or just a preference. My waitress was awesome and made sure that the Kitchen knew it was an Allergy. The General Manager(who also has Celiacs) also made sure that the kitchen took proper precautions, and brought me my food himself and made sure I knew what precautions they had taken. I felt very cared for. They answered all of my questions and looked into things for me to make sure I was able to enjoy my meal and not get sick. Unfortunately they do not have a dedicated fryer at this time. So all fried food options are at risk of cross contamination. I had the California Burger on a GF Bun with a House Salad with Ranch. The Bun was a bit dry and kinda crumbly. The salad was a lovely mix of spring greens and was delicious, as was the Burger! Definitely recommend going! Wish they had a dedicated fryer and some more GF options on the Menu as I am particular about what I eat. They did an awesome job at accommodating my needs.

They use shared fryers, so cross contamination is an issue. I am not celiac, so it was not a major concern for me. My server was not much help when I asked if the fries were battered or had a coating of any kind. They asked the kitchen staff and assured me that they were not. When I got my meal, they were indeed coated in some sort of flour or starch. Fortunately, it was not wheat and I was able to eat them .

Had the Locavore burger, gf bun extra $2. Duck bacon was good, not sure if it was prepared in a designated area. GF bun was really good though. Nice atmosphere, serves alcohol, kid friendly.

NOT GOOD! No GF labels on menu. Rude staff. Wont even try to help you. Very behind in the times for food service for food allergies.

Very little options for gluten free. The nachos were gluten free but the chips are fried in the same oil as gluten containing foods.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am gluten sensitive. Was very disappointed with the attitude. Not willing to try. Our server was very nice, but very clear this wasn't the place for celiacs. I ordered a burger without the bun and a side salad, my standard order for unsafe restaurants. It tasted great and I had no reaction, but I would never bring my celiac son here. Simply not safe and they would rather you go elsewhere so they don't have to deal with the liability. Do them a favor and go elsewhere. We would have gone elsewhere if we weren't with two other couples who wanted to try it.

Horrible. Stopped in and asked what was gluten free, decided on the wings. Was assured they were safe from cross contamination. Not so, we were seriously glutened, with extreme discomfort. My son vomited all night!! When we informed the restaurant the next day, our concerns were summarily dismissed. Would not recommend for anyone with Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Based on my experience, the staff is dismissive of Celiac concerns and not educated on cross-contamination. I was very sick after eating soup that I was assured was GF.

The street tacos on the late night menu are GF. My wife has celiac and had no issues with them. Also plenty of GF beers in bottles and some nice cider on draft.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have celiacs and spoke with my waitress about this. She went through the menu with me while looking at me the whole time like my questions were ridiculous. She assured me there is a dedicated fryer for the wings and they are knowledgable/careful about contamination. I began eating and she walks back over while I'm mid bite and tells me that the wings are not gluten free and not to eat anymore, even though they are on the menu as gluten free. They assured me they would be taking this off the menu, however, needless to say I got very sick. I would highly suggest not eating here if you have celiacs OR a sensitivity.
