Celiac friendly?

No

I got the salmon and mashed potatoes with tortilla soup. The soup came with a cheese crisp that wasn’t GF. Got sick after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have Celiac. I ordered the gluten free Hawaiian fried rice and tested it with my Nima Sensor, which determined it was gluten free. The waitress asked about specifics of Celiac so I was happy she wanted to learn.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a pretty extensive GF menu. The server wasn't very knowledgeable, but offered to double check and was friendly. The GF food and regular food was mediocre. My husband got a beer sampler and really only liked one out of six.

CELIAC FRIENDLY! 😎 the staff is knowledgeable about what to do and how. Food tasty and good portion. Dear recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had small gf menu. Great tasting food. Highly recommended.

I sat at the bar and the bartender was very informative about their menu and preparation. It's always reassuring when the staff at a restaurant are able to answer all of your questions without you even needing to ask. Well done Lazy Dog Cafe.

Quite a bit of food to choose off the menu. I felt like the staff was knowledgeable and I did not get sick after eating here which is huge for me. :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The atmosphere is fun and the customer service is spot on! I ordered the New York strip and had it butterfly -well done. It came back more burnt than I was expecting and the waitress Patty immediately said, she was going to have them remake it. I declined, but she insisted! I was so relieved because I was eating the charred parts 1st. The 2nd one was PERFECT! Looking forward to many more visits at this Lazy Dog! The manager was awesome and went above and beyond to find out about a gluten-free dessert. I had almost thought he had forgotten, but he was doing his research! Thank you Brian, it meant a lot! I can't say enough about this place. My husband said his pizza (not GF) was delicious!

I am thrilled that Lazy Dog has such a fantastic Gluten Sensitive Menu!

Additional Notes about their Gluten Sensitive Menu:

- It's incredibly helpful that the GF menu is also posted on their website because people with food sensitivities and allergies tend to plan their meal choices ahead of time.

- The servers seem to be familiar with the menu and don't miss a beat when you mention it.

- When the food is delivered, they mention that the item is gluten free, which adds one extra layer of assurance.

They have very nice gluten-free menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very little on the menu for GF and I was told the fries are absolutely not safe as they are beer battered, so opted for a side of fruit (which was hilariously just a huge slice of admittedly very delicious watermelon).

When the food arrived, the (as I had been told) very glutenous fries were laid directly on top of the burger to where they had melted into the cheese. I was there for an interview so I didn’t return the food which was my mistake. I had a horrific migraine after eating there which is one of my symptoms.

While in Fresno for a doctors appointment my husband and I had dinner at this restaurant because he really wanted a burger. Although they have a gluten free menu they do not guarantee there will be no cross contamination. I nearly always order a salad when eating out because it’s usually a safer option. Not at this restaurant. The food was tasty and the service adequate but there was definitely cross contamination. I would not recommend this chain if you are a celiac.

I order from the gluten sensitive menu all the time with zero problems. Staff always ‘flags’ my dishes when ordered and brought to the table. I order the GS Sweet & Spicy Wok all the time and it is delicious!
