Not gluten friendly. Even items marked gluten safe are cross contaminated on fryer and grill.

Got celiac disease? Yeahhhh...no. Better off going elsewhere. Food’s ok tasting, but you’ll likely get glutened.

No GF bread or many GF options.

This restaurant is not gluten free friendly. There is no gluten free menue they have one binder thst lists nutritional information and each meal by catagory with allergen warnings. General manager seemed to be accomidating as I advised of my needs.The food seemex ok but bland.With in an hour or so of eating the supposed. gluten free meal I had a serious reaction with abdomial cramps and diarhea. all night. Stay away from. Applebees!

Celiac friendly?

No

I'm not impressed with the selection, not even steak can gluten-free because of the seasoning. The list of choices is a very short list. Very short, I wouldn't waste time and money going to the restaurant (I have found that every branch is the same) If I could choose 0 stars, I would.

Celiac friendly?

No

We went here knowing that Applebees in general offers a pretty good and tasty gluten free menu. I have Celiac disease and am highly sensitive to anything with gluten, no matter how tiny an amount. After my husband and I were seated, our waiter came over. He was one of those who would start talking to you from twenty feet away, so you're completely unaware he's even trying to get your order. Once we figured out he was talking to us, it was hard to keep his attention, but we still made sure to mention (numerous times) about my food issue and he acknowledged. I figured my food would be fine. I was wrong. Normally I can finish off my meal there, I don't do appetizers or desert and so I feel satisfied, but not full after. After just a few bites, my stomach doubled in size and I felt full...something that never happens unless it's bad food. I spent the rest of the day asking my poor husband to stop at a number of restrooms throughout our travels home...oh and having to literally run through the mini golf course in a hurry is not fun with an injured knee!! (Thank you folks for letting me cut off your games!) Though I don't like putting down a restaurant, I just don't want others to suffer. Applebees overall is really good, this one in Manchester has potential, but I think our waiters inattentiveness may have played a huge part. I am also emailing the manager there so as to avoid any issues for others who attend. I plan on sticking to the Applebees in Concord as I have had multiple successful plates there and the staff are amazing.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered a salad and twice it had gluten. First time it came with bread sticks. Second time there was pieces of breaded chicken mixed in even when there was none listed on this salad. Don't eat here. It's not safe.

They say their bone in wings are gluten free but they fry them in gluten contaminated fryers. They fry everything in the same fryer. Also, they are not good when it comes to cross contamination.

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.

I trusted Applebee's list of allergens and gluten containing foods. The list is common to all Applebee's restaurants in their chain. Went three times to this particular restaurants, and as I always do I ask about GF options in their menu. I have been given conflicting answers about their french fries. Last time the manager explained that the french fries "theoretically" do not contain gluten, but not being fried in a dedicated frier they are not gluten free. She was sincere. Unfortunately, I was pointed to their allegen list previously, and made.to notice that fries do not contain gluten. And I had fries. The top managers of the chain are then gravely and grossly misleading customers with their "allergens list", clearly totally ignorant of the damage their are doing.

I would give zero stars if I could because we didn’t even get past the hostess here. Before sitting down we asked for a menu for a quick glance and what was available for gf options. Was quickly and rudely told that there aren’t any gf options besides what was on the menu (listed as gluten sensitive) and when asked if anything could be made in a special area was quickly told no as well. Not helpful and not interested in even telling if they had a gf bun or pasta. Did not seem knowledgeable in celiac care at all.
