We had the best experience at lunch yesterday! My daughter has Celiac plus severe egg and nut allergies. It's very difficult to find (and trust) any restaurants where she can eat. I saw they had a Gluten Free menu and opted to speak to a manager to ensure I felt confident her food would be handled carefully to avoid cross-contamination. The manager told me they take allergies very seriously at their restaurant and that they will take care of us. He said, on a personal note, that his girlfriend has Celiac Disease, so he is well aware and informed on steps that are needed to avoid cross-contamination. My daughter ordered the Cheeseburger with no bun since it contained eggs (but they do offer a gluten free bun) with french fries since they use a dedicated fryer. She was in heaven! We are so thankful to have found this gluten/allergy conscious gem in Edwardsville and will be back!
Have to be diligent here. Told the waitress I was GF, ordered off the GF menu (mashed potatoes no gravy was a listed side option), got a plate with gravy on the potatoes and rice that was not on the GF menu. Sent it back and rice was left on so I assumed it was safe. Nope
They have a gluten-free menu and the waitress said they were very careful to not cross contaminate but I had issues.

Great place to eat, excellent service there is a gluten free menu you just have to ask!
I had a good experience the first time I ate here, but then the second time I ate at 54th Grill, I definitely experienced issues. I didn't feel like the waitress took my allergy seriously. Maybe this place is fine for people just avoiding gluten, but I would not recommend for celiac, chrones, or other autoimmune/ highly gluten sensitivities.
Ordered off allergy menu & told waitress my daughter cannot eat gluten....no bread. Ordered ribs, baked potato & steamed vegs. Out came the order and on top of ribs were 3 breaded chicken strips.

They have a 'gluten awareness' menu with lots of options! I ordered the devil den burger (no bun) with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Will be back to try more items.
Order from here often, have had a couple of order mix-ups that they’ve corrected. Decent gluten free selection but it is a shared fries so no fried foods.
Wait staff was not knowledgeable. One item on the gluten free menu is titled the same as on the regular menu but with different ingredients, causing some confusion. No protein options for vegetarians.
GF Awareness Menu is only online. Server immediately ran and checked when I inquired about a dedicated fryer. Ribs fall off the bone. Smoked brisket flavored beans were great. The Summer Chicken Salad was awesome. Location is on the same block as multiple hotels. We dined two days. Gluten free bun is available.
They have a GF menu online through a barcode on the main menu along with a thorough allergy menu that lists our wheat and gluten separately. The server wasn't too sure of individual items, but the manager was, and I felt confident with the menu thoroughness. I ended up having the salad with ranch dressing to start, and the steak with grilled asparagus.
