Brighton Bodega

Went on a first date here, called ahead and talked with the manager and she assured me that the kitchen staff had separate prep areas and were able to avoid cross contamination. I told the waiter I had celiac and she checked with the kitchen to make sure the dishes were gluten free, and made everything so easy. Been diagnosed celiac for 4 years and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. On top of that the food was fantastic.

Eating here was overall a great experience! The kitchen and staff are well informed on celiac and cross contact prevention measures. They were able to take a menu and highlight the options. I got a burger on a gf bun. There is not a dedicated fryer, so some of the fried options are off limits (they said some foods could be fried in the fryer used for cauliflower only, but not all foods). Ran into a little issue with subbing the fries for a side salad - it was basically just lettuce with olive oil and they tried to charge full price for it even tho it was a sub, but I brought it up with the waiter and he immediately removed the charge. The burger was delicious and I would eat here again! No symptoms afterwards!

Amazing Experience. They change their menu every day so they don’t have a separate gf menu. The kitchen marked the menu with everything that was / could be gluten free (about 80% of the menu). They answered all questions and were super helpful. 10/10 experience highly recommend, I am highly sensitive and I didn’t react. Note: their fryer has gluten in it, so no fried foods
