Billy Miner Ale House and Café

Not a bad space have been here a couple of times. The first time I was so excited because they told me their chili was gf as were the fries and wings, and the next time I got a gf pizza and was told their garlic sauce (that was used on the pizza). The issue with them came about the third time when I said I was celiac, gave my order and I could over hear someone say “everything we do is contaminated, there’s no dedicated fryers, I can’t say anything is gluten free” and the option was to get a gf pizza but I was given a tomato base instead of a garlic sauce.

So either their staff isn’t very knowledgeable or it depends on the day or the person that was on staff that day just decided that none of their food was safe, which is fine. It’s frustrating to read a menu where gf buns are available but it’s not a place that can be safe for celiacs. That being said it would be fine maybe for those who are less reactive, but I’m not sure I can go back. Disappointing because I was excited to be able to support a local spot.
