AJ's OldTown Steakhouse & Tavern

Enjoyed my meal here! I felt safe + had no reaction. The waitress was very knowledgeable about risk for CC in the kitchen and described precautions taken. The only caveat is that the waitress told me that the “fryers were hot enough to ‘kill’ the gluten protein” when asking if there was a dedicated fryer. Despite that comment making me feel a bit uneasy, I still had a great steakhouse meal and steer clear of fried items. Nothing on their menu is marked; however, I would say the majority of their dishes are gf/can easily be made gf.

Had pan seared halibut with mashed potatoes. Was very good. A bit pricey, but everyone was satisfied with the portions they received and the taste of their food. We did have one person in our party who wanted to order an item off the menu, but once she notified our waitress that she had a shellfish allergy, the waitress said that item is severely cross contaminated with shellfish. I am not sure about CC for celiacs. Fun atmosphere.
