My favorite meal is the Fiesta lime chicken. However, if you have celiac, order this WITHOUT the tortilla strips. While they are naturally gluten free, they fry them themselves with other foods (such as the breaded chicken). I have been told by the staff many times that the tortilla strips are safe for me to eat, only to have the answer change when I ask if they're fried with anything else. This item is listed as gluten free without an changes needed, so beware - this may be the same with other "gluten free" options on the menu.

Oct 11, 2019 Late dinner. Many gluten sensitive menu options listed on the regular menu. The food was prepared to avoid cross-contamination and I did not get sick. The food quality and service was poor for an Applebee, independent of the gluten issue.
Yes

server straight up told me the store didnt have an allergen menu because they cant prevent allergens. Which -is false- and I didnt feel like arguing for it, so I opted for grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. I didnt feel sick after. Found the allergen menu online. Angry that my server wouldnt even work with me as an attempt to prevent contamination or assist me in finding something GF

The service was great. Their menu has a "GS" next to items that are deemed gluten sensitive. The employees are also knowledgeable about cross contamination and shared friers. I have not had any issues here but it is important to note that there was no true "gluten free" items on the menu, only gluten sensitive so if you are celiac please be careful while dining here.
