Excellent find in Amesbury! They have a separate dedicated GF menu. I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich and the GF bun (I believe the brand was UDI?) was the best gf bread I've eaten! Service was excellent.

We just happened to be driving through the area and needed to find somewhere to eat and The Barn Pub & Grille was highly rated for safety on this app so we decided to give it a try. It has a great pub atmosphere, yummy food and a separate GF menu : ) The owner and staff are knowledgeable with GF considerations. I spoke to the owner (Leo) for a bit to thank him for having such a wide GF menu and taking such care to avoid cross-contamination. He explained that his son has been celiac since he was a baby, so for the past 20+ years they have been preparing foods that are GF and celiac-friendly and completely understand the importance of avoiding cross-contamination. Our waiter explained that the folks in the kitchen must change gloves before preparing GF items and they also have a dedicated fryer!! My honey and I live over 2 hrs away but we will gladly take the trip back!!! (p.s. We ordered the chili nachos and Buffalo tenders off of the GF menu and they were fantastic!)

Great find. They take it to the next level for people who have Celiac. My husband and I went yesterday for lunch and my gf Rueben Sandwich and fries were great and my husband had the gf clam chowder, which was so yummy. Then we went there tonight for dinner and I had the Veal Cutlets with gf pasta. What a serving and it was delicious. They have a separate gf menu and so many options. If ever in the area I will definitely come back🥰

I had the BEST gluten free lobster roll and clam chowder at this awesome establishment. Jeanie was the best! She made us feel totally confident I wasn't going to get sick. My husband's lobster (non gluten free) roll was also the best! We will definitely be going back. I had such a hard time choosing they have so many options!

Had a huge gluten free menu for my 10 yo daughter who has Celiac! Her chicken fingers and French fries was exactly what she wanted and ate the whole thing! It was better than the regular chicken fingers in my opinion. Townie vibes pub environment but we like that feel - was a great little lunch spot for my family!

Though they serve food, I would characterize the quality of food as "this is definitely more bar than restaurant," so just have realistic expectations for quality of food (and service). What I will say is that my ticket was marked "gluten free" and so were the takeout boxes, so that was reassuring. I did get sick after, and I know the kitchen was really swamped when I went (Saturday evening), so I do wondered if someone neglected to change gloves in the rush or something. However, I am traveling, and it is possible I was glutened somewhere else earlier in the day. I am a vegetarian, and there was not much for vegetarian + gluten free entrees, so I ordered a couple appetizers instead. Fortunately I am starting to be able to eat dairy again after a long period of celiac-damage-related dairy intolerance, or I wouldn't have been able to find anything. I had the baked artichoke hearts and potato skins without the bacon. The baked artichoke hearts were a little weird alone (something about the combo of the garlic and marinade, probably), but I put the artichoke hearts on my potatoes and actually enjoyed it. The other thing I wouldfood. is that I tried calling ahead for takeout, but no one answered the phones. I don't think they do much takeout, even though there us stuff about takeout on the website. I ended up ordering when I arrived. It was then a 45 minute wait to get my food.

I spoke with the bar tender who told me the owner has a child with Celiac and has a dedicated gluten free fryer and many other options. I ordered the GF fish and chips and my husband ordered the regular fish and chips both were excellent. You could tell the GF order and the waiter new exactly which was which.

Ok.. there are mixed review on here so I'm going to set it straight. This place is a pub/bar. Done. They have a HUGE gluten free menu and dedicated fryer. I got the potato skins and they were very plain. I got the chicken tenders... they were AMAZING. My hubby got the chili and said it was hot/zippy. But he enjoyed it. If you want delicious gluten free chicken tenders, come here! I posted a picture as well.

Great fish and chips. Delish! Burger was also quite tasty. Great casual pub food. Safe for Celiacs

I went here based on so many 5 star reviews on this app but everyone of those people must have been drunk because this was one of the grossest places I've ever sat in and most of the food was inedible. BF said appetizer plate was decent but looked like frozen food out of a bag just re-fried. He got the roast beef dinner which was deli slices of roast beef re cooked on a griddle served in a nasty thick gravy over white bread - the roast beef was so rotten I could barely stand the smell and as soon as he put it in his mouth he spit it out. He is one of those guys who tries anything and usually eats it and couldn't even bare to keep this in his mouth, it was vile. I got the GF chicken finger basket because I figured anything fried was safer. The chicken looked and tasted like it was covered in beach sand, they were over cooked, and the sweet and sour sauce was so think and fake red it looked like some sort of slime. The fries were thick cut steak fries and were fine. Our waitress looked like a mom who had 5 jobs and hadn't slept in 10 years, she was nice enough but was running around frantically just dropping drinks and food on everyone's tables, and it wasn't even busy....on a Friday night at 630 which should have been our first clue. She was dressed in an old sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers, one of the cooks came out of the kitchen and looked like they hired him straight from prison, which would explain the food. The service was also so slow, we were there for 2+ hours from the time we walked in to walked out. There was one bathroom that I would have never used, I would have peed outside in the -20 degree weather first. This place is beyond a dive, I don't know how it has so many good reviews, easily the worst meal we've ever had. They did have a decent sized GF menu, stated a dedicated fryer and are aware of cross contamination but I am extremely doubtful of that and it doesn't matter if the food is that nasty.

Stay Away! The barn is just what it is a Barn. Filthy, rude, unisex dirty bathroom, smells old stale cigs. Food is burnt and makes you have to run for the restroom. You are better to go the the ale house down the street.

Awesome! Go there every time we are in the area and have NEVER felt sick....other than eating too much😜

It had been over a year since I found a place like this with a dedicated fryer, so I actually got to eat French fries!! The menu is expansive and totally reasonably priced. I'm celiac and very much recommend, overall great experience!
