The Fritz

Recent change in ownership resulted in loss of GF dedicated fryer. There’s also a large disclaimer on the menu saying GF foods may be “canoodling” with gluten. On top of that, staff seemed annoyed about questions regarding gluten, even on a slow Wednesday evening. I chose to go elsewhere since I have celiac.

Delicious. My daughter got a burger on gluten free bread that she loved

We enjoyed the steak & horseradish, truffle fries, & Brussels sprouts from the small plates menu. They have 2 friers- one for GF, another for gluten. The regular, truffle, & sweet potato fries are all safe! I have celiac and am picky about where I eat out, but I felt very safe here (and the food was really good!)

I’ve been here many times and brought several friends. Sadly this trip the service was just terrible. My friend and I were there with only one other table .... the food was slow and the server never smiled or checked in and we had to wave her over - Which is why I’m not giving it five stars. But the burger of the day and sweet potato fries are awesome

Yes

Great food. Separate, dedicated fryer. There is gluten, but the staff is very knowledgeable about potential cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The burgers are hand pressed, the fries are in a gluten free fryer, and the salad was delightful. My meal and my partners meal was beautiful and delicious. We would definitely bring our friends here.

We walked in and the waitress with the Celiac daughter have us the disclaimer that this is not a gluten free kitchen. Once we acknowledged that we were willing to take the risk, she was immensely helpful in choosing what to eat. I had the bibb salad which was delicious. The fryer is not always safe, she had to check when they last changed the oil and they had but I decided not to risk that. It was still very delicious. My non-gf husband had the truffle fries and sausage appetizer all prepared gf. He thought the truffle fries were really tasty. The sausage was good but unique and he thought the raspberry sauce was very complimentary to the flavor of the sausage.

Yes

We had an excellent experience here. The server was knowledgeable about the food and how it was prepared. I had the steak, a huge side salad and the Brussels sprouts. Everything had interesting additional twists like caramelized onions in balsamic reduction sauce, salad dressing made fresh on the spot, and walnuts and parmesan on the sprouts. So much better than the plain steak or burger and bland salad that many places offer for gf. The owner/manager said she is gf also and had tips on other menu items.

As soon as we entered and said we had a celiac kid, our server warned us that it was not a gluten free facility at all. Since that’s always the case, and because she understood celiac (her daughter was also) we decided to stay (besides our son is type 1 diabetic and he HAD to eat!). All I can say was that they were very accommodating. She made sure the kitchen knew that it was not preference but health related. He had a burger (He is a kid! There were many options though!) but we couldn’t risk the fries even though they had changed the oil that morning. We asked them to warm up his gf bread wrapped in aluminum foil since all breads are warmed up together in the oven. According to them, the griddle was ok. I would say that if you go, you need to avoid peak hours since the place is small and gets crowded and, as anywhere, you go through everything with your server/owner.

They do have a dedicated fryer but they “occasionally, about once a week, fry wontons in it.” Oil changed every few days, couldn’t tell me if it had been changed today. I did eat the sweet potato fries and they were awesome. I do have celiac disease. Burger was decent, nice atmosphere.
