Tennessee Pass Cafe

Menu lists GF, vegan and vegetarian. Loved the Shepard’s pie. When I asked about the mashed potatoes, they did have dairy but I chanced it with enzymes. Service was good. A bit slow due to not enough folks working but quality. Safety rating - no immediate response.

No dedicated fryer.

I stopped by and asked. Their food is cooked on a big flat grill, so high CC risk. No dedicated kitchen or fryer space. Not safe for celiac. Did not eat there; I assume the food is OK other than nasty gluten bits scampering about.

I just rang them and they said they don't have a dedicated fryer. Very confusing. I told them I read reviews that said they did but they confirmed they do not.

We had a wonderful meal here! The service was great and they were very knowledgeable about the gluten free options. My partner has celiacs disease and had no problems. We even had flash fried chicken wings from their dedicated fryer! Absolutely a win!

After reading reviews on GF apps, we stopped here. The waitress was very honest with me and said their small kitchen would most likely make me sick no matter what I got. I appreciated her being frank with me. We left without ordering (I'm a very sensitive celiac)

Very friendly staff. It seems like a lot has changed from the past reviews, as they are working to have a gf fryer again. The waiter didn't think I could have much aside from a salad, as all grilled things are on the same flat top, but brought out the manager/owner/? who said that he understood my needs and would literally go to the back and cook it himself in a separate pan. Delicious food and large portions.

As of August, the restaurant is under new ownership and they no longer have a dedicated gluten free area or fryer. Really only salads safe for people with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do have a dedicated fryer and understand Gluten free issues. Have lots of options for food. And the food is always good! But the food delivery is always slow! Almost painfully slow.... But the food makes the wait worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All food is locally sourced. Lots of gluten free options. Very good.

Menu offers gluten free bread options, but does NOT have a dedicated fryer like I had read on the app, which was a bummer. Ordered a burger with no bun and a bag of kettle chips to be safe.

A pleasant surprise when traveling through a small town. GF menu items clearly marked. I thoroughly enjoyed my turkey bacon avocado club on DELICIOUS GF multigrain bread. Good cider options as well as cocktails in lieu of beer. Outdoor patio was great and our server was terrific.

This place is fantastic! Lots of GF choices, including all the fried foods. I highly recommend the fried Brussels sprouts. Bison burgers were also very good. Fantastic service but don't expect this to be "fast" food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
