Applebee's

I checked the allergens menu before I went and I realized I could really only have a side of fries, the bone-in wings, or chips and salsa. But, I went and ended up getting the Classic Dip Trio appetizer and it was pretty good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.
