Review of Blue Bonnet Restaurant

Blue Bonnet may be safer if eating there, but I had a horrible experience and will never go back. I ordered takeout during the pandemic (January 2021), made sure it was not during a busy service time, spoke with the manager to place the order and again with the person I picked the order up from at the restaurant to relay the need for celiac-safe gluten free, inquired about cross contamination, etc. So all the right things us celiac folks do and felt comfortable with their responses. Several hours after eating though I was sicker than sick, profuse vomiting for several days, and all my ‘glutened’ symptoms. Immediately after the vomiting let up I began having symptoms that I’d never experienced before and after multiple doctor and specialists visits, outpatient surgery, and months later I was finally diagnosed with another GI condition that is considered to be pre-cancerous, requires even more diet restrictions, medication, medical monitoring for years to come. Based on understanding what causes the condition and knowing the symptoms appeared literally a few days after being horribly sick from being glutened by this restaurant, I firmly believe this was the cause of the additional medical issue. I urge anyone considering this restaurant to use extreme caution or avoid altogether.

***I have never left a review like this before and most, if not all, of my reviews are positive so I am not trying to be overly negative or dramatic but I have seriously never been so sick from a restaurant experience nor had it cause additional and permanent medical issues from being glutened. If I could leave zero stars I would.
