Notes
"As America’s Favorite Neighbor, the health and safety of our guests are top priorities at Applebee’s. As part of our commitment to you, we provide the most current allergen information available from our food suppliers on eight common allergens plus gluten and added monosodium glutamate (MSG), so that our guests with food allergies can make informed food selections. Please be aware that during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil, the possibility exists for food items to come in contact with other food products. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens."

Review
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 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.

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.
