I initially ordered the beef nachos which said gluten sensitive marked on the menu. I told the waiter(Mike) I have celiac and he said the chips were not gluten free (I infer because they are in the same fries as breading). I asked about a salad and he said without the tortilla chips it would be ok. It was delicious and I also ordered a chocolate milkshake. They checked all the ingredients including the whip cream, being proactive which I appreciate tremendously. They were knowledgeable enough, but cared enough to double and triple check ingredients so I felt safe and did not get sick!

Unfortunately this is my favorite restaurant, my son is the one with the sensitivity & stomach cramps not me. I’ve gotten us the bourbon street chicken n shrimp with mash potatoes and I’m assuming somehow through cross contamination ? He’s pooped 2-3 times since eating it for dinner. I’ve made this meal from home, it does not contain gluten.
They mark "Gluten Sensitive" items on their menu. We shared traditional buffalo wings and chicken nachos and they were really good. I also had a Perfect Margarita and it was great too!
Overall a good experience. The menu clearly noted GS for Gluten Sensitive beside the meal. Quite a few GS options. I felt comfortable. I can't say the staff completely understood what Gluten free means, but I chose a simple meal I felt safe with.
Yup, who knew Applebees had something to offer! Of course, no GF but the GS (gluten sensitivity) items are marked on the menu. Haven’t really been to one in years but was pleasantly surprised to find a good number of choices. I let my server know that I have celiac and he said he would talk with the kitchen and my Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp and mashed potatoes were tasty and no reaction so I was pleased. They have a good number of GS items so I will add them to “might work for me while traveling” list.
I often have the bourbon street chicken and shrimp as it cooks on the cast iron plate sizzling. The menu clearly labels gluten sensitive as they do have the disclaimer for cross contamination. The website also includes the disclaimer of the same utilized fryer as gluten foods and items and highly refined soybean oil, so it is notable that gluten sensitive is not the same as celiac friendly here.
