The Ale House

Nice place with good atmosphere. Gluten free choices are pretty limited, but everything I've tried is good. Clearly marked on menu, making it a good 'covert' spot if you want to take friends out without a lot of hassle. Will be returning!

Unfortunately, there are only two salads and two entrees on the entire menu that can be made gluten free. With so little attention paid to GF, I didn't dare eat anything.

The staff was very good but the menus were new and did not have the gluten frees marked. There were several people who have celiac disease. The hostess pointed out the best food options but indicated the chips use a common frier and are not safe. My salad came with chips and I was reassured by the server and the waiter that they are safe. Time will tell. The salad was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very, very limited number of choices marked gf. The 2 or 3 salads and steak is about it. They were willing to make an omelet gluten free for my boys but told us the bacon wasn't gluten free....Then the salad which was marked gf on the menu came out with bacon on it, so I was really confused and not confident in validity of their gluten free accommodations

No longer my favorite restaurant in GJ, menu has changed, nothing on the menu is indicated GF, waitress said the safest was fish tacos (wasn't in the mood for fish tacos) I asked if she could find out about the nachos for me and she said oh yeah they are GF. Ordered the nachos, they were good but would have been nicer to have more choices. No longer have the flour less chocolate cake that was to die for. Very disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

No

I'm gluten, dairy, corn and soy free so I'm used to limited choices. One of my favorites here is the salmon with a green salad. There is one dressing that works. I ask for the salmon to be poached or sauteed in its own pan. I've enjoyed my meals here and had no problem. The servers are very willing to get answers to questions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu could have more gf options. I agree with other reviews that the gf options on the menu always seem to be fewer than the last time I was there. But the servers are usually willing to tell me how other dishes could be made gf if I wanted.

Was just there yesterday. They changed their menu again so if you want a salad, some shrimp tacos (delicious), or goat cheesecake go for it but otherwise there's nothing gluten free.

if you like salad, they have 2. nothing else on the menu is GF. Oh, there are 2 appetizers also but no other meals. For beer, only Omission which I can't drink.

Good food. Fun atmosphere!

As of Oct 2014 many GF options I had the skirt steak salad. There were +3 other salads, Ahi tacos, meals that include flatiron steak, jerk chicken, & cranberry apple salmon. A flourless chocolate cake but I was so full I didn't have room for it :( Great patio!!! Angry Orchard Cider on tap yum!

very few gluten free menu items
