The Klondike Tavern

Visited this evening and had a really nice dinner! Confirmed with multiple people about gluten free items (which was most of the menu, really) and that they were Celiac safe.

*Notably* this month they’re not serving fried chicken, which from what I understand is not gluten free and would normally be fried in the same fryer with the truffle/garlic herb fries.

Burgers and salads were DELICIOUS, staff was great and super friendly. They were really busy because of the Halloweentown events, but got us in after a reasonable wait (party of 6).

Was pricy, but a nice environment and I would go back again.

So nice to find a good restaurant between Portland & Astoria! Granted, my eggs, potato & sausage breakfast was the only GF fare on the breakfast menu, but the rest of their menu features a number of GF dishes, all marked on the menu. Located in quiet historic St Helens, this place is worth the stop! Nice outside dining on a patio adjacent to their old building. Enjoyed it!

I have now had the pleasure of dining at the Klondike quite a few times. Every time I come in I’m always impressed by the incredible ambiance and general aesthetic.

I’ve had a different server every time and each person has been professional, and on point. My water was always filled before it got too low, the order came correctly and quickly. Last time I had the salmon and the time before that I had the ribeye and a salad! Highly recommend all of that. It’s some of the best made dishes I’ve found in St. Helens!

Do yourself a favor, if you find yourself looking for a delectable bite and you’re in or near St. Helens stop at the Klondike!

Lovely gluten free options. Not a lot in Sf. Helens for this but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the options they had were!

Not GF friendly unfortunately. There are quite a few items listed as (gf) on the menu. I was excited to try the truffle fries that they listed (gf)(df). I inquired about how they were fried and they explained everything is fried together so it’s all cross contaminated. I ended up ordering the cauliflower soup and it was good but when I received my entree (shrimp plate), it was indicated as (gf) and had four large pieces of toasted bread on top of my food. I asked if it was gf bread and it wasn’t. When ordering I asked if I needed to specify gf even if it states so and they said I didn’t. They ended up making a new dish but I was a little concerned after that. Overall, it seems careless especially when you are marking items as (gf) and they clearly aren’t. I understand that you can’t accommodate everyone but don’t mark things allergen free when it clearly isn’t.
