Review of Bavarian Bistro & Bar

The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to work with the customer to make sure they have a pleasant and "safe" dining experience. We, an entire family of celiacs, have eaten here 3 times now and every time they have worked with us on not only gluten but other food allergies as well. Their sweet potato fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer and they have assured us of precautions taken for the gluten free burgers etc. It isn't a completely gluten free establishment (meaning: there is always going to be a chance for contamination of some sort in any place that deals in gluten, too) but we have been glad to have at least somewhere we could go where they seem to understand and are willing to work with our issues. I marked that I am very confident about their precautions against cross contamination- It seems a bit leap from "somewhat" to "very". If I could choose something in between that would be most accurate. We didn't tour the kitchen ourselves but felt, from talking to the staff, that they understood the dangers to our family and would work to take every precaution.

Btw, the menu is somewhat limited for the GF (I marked there were "several" GF options because there are many different kinds of burgers and salads to choose from)- it's mainly burgers, salads, and sweet potato fries and maybe a few side dishes- but it has suited our needs and we as left happy customers.

It was lovely to be able to eat out somewhere and feel like they cared and took efforts to make it safe for our family. It's very hard, generally, to eat out and feel any level of confidence. And the food was good quality as well as delicious. We have been happy with our experiences here.
