Gluten Sensitive
1 month ago

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.

After making myself very clear that I have Celiac and cannot have gluten, even speaking to the manager before I ordered, they brought my salad covered in croutons. Will not be going back.

After cautiously ordering with the very nice staff, we got our salads. My teenage daughter who has celiac got glutened with the first bite. A hidden crouton at the bottom of the plate. The manager apologized and they remade her salad but the damage was done. Avoid!

Celiac

Out of 3 times eating here, I only got glutened to a mild reaction once. Not the safest place but the staff was always knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely be trying their best

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.
