Applebee's

I called and spoke to the kitchen manager and they do not have any GF food and all the food is prepped and fried in the same area. Staff are NOT trained for any sort of food allergies.

They have salad that’s gluten free and that’s the only option.

Celiac friendly?

No

Hostess told me they don't offer gluten free menus, or carry gf food. The waitress brought me a notebook showing what was gf. I explained that I have celiac and asked her to please make the kitchen aware, she did not. Violently sick. I will never eat at an applebees again.

Celiac friendly?

No

I give this particular Applebee's 1 start because when I was being seated and asked for a gluten free menu my waiter told me about my weight watchers options? A waitress them brought me a paper copy of the menu choices which looked like she found out under a dumpster, it was disgusting. Although the ordering was a pain my food choice tasted ok.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Limited selection but good!

Despite telling our waitress 3 times I was gluten free, she brought my salad with a breadstick. I told her I could not eat the salad as it was now contaminated. She said “can’t you just take it off?” When I explained that it doesn’t work that way, she got an attitude and put in another order for a second salad. When we got our tab, they charged me for both salads! They did remove the second charge only after I pointed it out. Will never eat here again as they are obviously ignorant to what a gluten allergy means. I know they can’t guarantee there will be no cross contamination but when you have a “GS” label by the meal I ordered and I told you 3 times I was gluten free, I did not expect that a breadstick would be on my plate. Avoid this restaurant!

I ordered 6oz steak with garlic mash potatoes with steamed greenbeans instead of broccoli. I was very impressed with my food especially my tender steak. My male waitress was very patient with me with my menu and was very helpful and notified the cooker of my Celiac and Microscopic colitis disease. I will definitely go back. This was on 2/24/23 around 3:00. So I hope his manager will see this. Thank you again. 5 🌟 for the place and waitress.

Good restaurant chain. They substitute for gluten free bun on their burgers. Fries are not safe so I normally get mashed potatoes. They added a rice chicken bowl on their menu and that's what I normally order. They are pretty cautious about gluten allergy and a specific/different server comes out to bring just the gluten free order to avoid cross contamination, I suppose. Their cheesecake with no crumb base is delicious. I have never gotten contaminated going there.

DON’T TRUST IF YOU HAVE CELIAC!!!

I ate here a few months ago and got extremely sick. I ordered off the gluten sensitivity menu. I wasn’t sure what had made me sick so I tried it again a few days ago hoping the first time was just a fluke. I ordered the burben chicken and shrimp off the gluten sensitivity menu and got extremely sick.

January 19, 2023. Ate dinner here with my wife and friends. I'm not crazy about their "Gluten Sensitive" menu, but I have eaten at other Applebee's in the past without issues. At the other Applebee's where I have had success, the staff has been very attentive to my gluten allergy. At this location, the staff could not have paid the allergy any less attention. I asked for the cooks to change gloves and use fresh serving utensils. I was told they were busy and short staffed. I ate the grilled chicken with garlic potatoes and steamed broccoli. I was sick before I left the restaurant. At this location, be very careful if you are sensitive to gluten exposure.
