Black Woods Bar & Grill

Ate there twice in a period of two days. First time was the meatballs on top of potatoes. They were cold in the middle the potatoes weren’t even hot and they were small and rubbery. They asked us if we would like soup or salad like it came with it and it was an extra charge. They brought the cornbread covered in sugar with this disgusting margarine with cinnamon in it. A total expensive disappointment. Next day thinking maybe it would get better. Two of us ordered the roast beef it was strings of cardboard. The waitress knew we couldn’t even chew it. It was boxed and my dog wouldn’t even eat it. Same dining experience, person across the table form me ordered the chicken pot pie. They said it was cold and they didn’t want anymore. Gave it to me. Oh lucky me…. Last night same person called and said are you sick? Because I’m very ill and I think it was the chicken pot pie. I said no I’m fine, 4 AM this morning started vomiting with violent diarrhea had to cancel meetings for today, person who ordered the chicken pot pie is sick and is sure it was from that meal. I’m still very ill and today was an important day for me and I can’t do it. Do not eat at this place it is a total failure. And it’s dangerous. I don’t believe who’s ever in charge of this place cares.

Celiac family member (very sensitive to cross contamination) was able to eat here without any issues! Kept the meal simple and got pasta. Server was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and brought the gluten free food separate from the rest of the foods.

I went here for lunch with my daughters. My daughter ordered gf pasta and said it was good. I ordered a gf burger and it came on a regular bun. When I asked another staff member if the bun was gf, she said no. They changed out my order quickly, but I still got sick. And they had us pay full price with a ‘Oops, I thought I selected gf. I must not have.’

We arrived right away. We were seated right away, We waited 1 hour and 35 minutes for our meal to be ready. we had to catch the train and it didn’t leave us time to eat there so we took the food to go. We checked the order but didn’t have time to inspect everything. They put gluten bread in our order, the pasta was hard and uncooked. They didn’t put the veggies they supposed to, they forgot the potato’s, there was cross contamination as my wife and daughter got sick after eating. Would not recommend this place whatsoever.

3 of us 4 are celiac, and we had good food with no problems here. Our waitress routinely confirmed GF when bringing the food to the table.

I asked for a GF menu & the hostess pointed out all of the options on the menu. I mentioned that I have celiac & she said to tell the server & the kitchen would be sure & be careful. They even had a delicious GF dessert!!

Great service. Staff made sure I knew which items were GF and some that would be accommodated to be. Very enjoyable and no reactions!

Very good burgers and pasta, especially for a chain

Gluten-free pasta options! Yay!

I had the salmon sandwich from their four-item gluten-free menu. The salmon was very tasty, but that's about all I can compliment. First of all, it comes with kettle chips of which a fellow diner thought to question the GF status. Turns out that the chips are not actually GF, even though they're on the GF menu. They substituted veggies, but that's just irresponsible. The bun was so hard that my jaw hurt trying to bite through it, and a knife barely broke through. The waiter brought me one that was softer, but to send something out that is that inedible is ridiculous. It was definitely not worth the price we paid and it was the cheapest on the GF menu.

Very accommodating and very good food! Have a small gluten free designated menu with safe bbq sauce for the ribs. Chicken is amazing!

Went and had an allergic reaction to something that was noted as gluten free. Had to throw up, got hives, almost had to use epi pen…

Went there for lunch and informed the waiter I was ordering off the gluten free menu and that I had celiacs. Ordered a cheeseburger on a gluten free bun with the mashed red potatoes (both on their list of safe items) and 2 hours later (my routine if glutened) I was throwing up and sick all the way home (5 hour drive). 🤢

Amazing food! Separate area of the menu for gluten free items. I had the chicken and ribs combo with mashed potatoes and a side salad. Very good quality food! Celiac and no issues
