They have a separate, but limited, “gluten friendly” menu. Our server was great to help provide more answers if we had questions. I opted for the classic burger, bun-less - when it came out it still had some of the house sauce, which the server didn’t know if it was gluten free or not. I ate the top patty only which tasted amazing and the cheddar mashed potatoes on the side were perfect. I think it should be considered generally unsafe for celiac — seems it is likely a hit and miss experience for sure depending on who you get for a server.

I enjoyed my food here and my server was great - but I think she was an outlier. She was very attentive and knew about the menu, but from interactions with other servers, I don't think they are up to par for safe eating by most gluten sensitives, celiacs, or food allergic people.

I really like Brick House's food, that said, the one time my friend (gluten sensitive) tried to eat there, they ordered the meal specifically gluten free and when it arrived there was a piece of garlic bread on the plate and the mushrooms were breaded instead of grilled as requested. We immediately asked the server for a new entree and when it came back out a second time it seemed as if they simply took off the bread, scraped off the fried mushrooms and replaced with grilled. Needless to say my friend had a gluten reaction to dinner. They haven't been back since. They clearly have no understanding of gluten insensitivity and definitely are not celiac friendly :(

Gluten free menu has several choices. The food is good, but delivered chicken salad with croutons =| yikes! Scary.

Disappointed in their gluten-free (and dairy-free) approach, but mainly their overall service. Our chicken salad was delivered with RAW chicken! Not good! Then we had to send back my meal 2x because they accidentally included ingredients that included wheat or cheese. This is a bit concerning considering how sensitive some people are with a gluten allergy. So, to the point, I don't recommend for those avoiding OR eating gluten....

Gluten free menu was decent but staff did not seem knowledgeable and salad had croutons. Also asked if I wanted my chicken fried! But friendly and helpful.

Has a gluten sensitive menu (ask your waiter/waitress). I have been here multiple times and never had any issues (non-celiac)

I like their deviled eggs (different than their regular menu which is listed as fried) And I have also had their steak.

They offer a “Gluten Sensitive” menu that has 2 appetizers, 4 salads, 3 main courses, and 6 sides. The menu has a disclaimer letting you know that although basically every precaution is taken, there is a risk for cross contamination and you should consider the risks. I totally get that. That is something everyone should do if you’re not at a dedicated gluten free space.

I ordered a house salad. The waitress knew I was ordering from the gluten sensitive menu. It was listed to have mixed greens, tomato, cheddar cheese and choice of dressing. Great! Sounds perfect! It came out with croutons on top. Not great. When I asked if those were croutons, the waitress immediately apologized and took the salad away. They completely remade it and brought me a fresh salad without any fuss or issue. It was just mildly disappointing that I ordered it off the “Gluten Sensitive” menu and there are croutons staring at me…
