I love the Dynamite Roll with Cowboy Salad. The salad was fine as is, and they were able to make me a Dynamite Roll without deepfrying the prawns and served it with gluten free soy sauce. It was very good! Server was accomodating.
GF menu available & knowledgeable staff
Server was obviously trained re: gluten allergy. Separate GF menu you must ask for.
Yes
I spoke with Tina at this Sherwood Park location. They are one of 2 Canada locations (other is Camrose AB) with a celiac program. All servers and kitchen staff are trained and they go beyond a dedicated fryer and GF buns. They have GF batters and sauces like teriyaki. So much of the menu can be GF: burgers, crispy chicken sandwich, rice bowls, crispy cauliflower, nachos, fish tacos (corn tortilla) and so much more. Tina went though the entire menu and there were so many options (including brownie for dessert).

I wouldn't suggest eating here if you are celiac. They don't have a dedicated fryer so I couldn't eat much. I had a burger with a salad and got very, very ill. It could've been cross contamination so I wouldn't go back!

Staff was very knowledgable about cross-contamination. The server, manager, and kitchen staff were aware of what was safe for Celiac folks. We were told by the manager that very little on the menu would be okay to eat. Basically, the Cowboy salad or Caesar salad without croutons. Both the grill and single fryer were deemed unsafe by staff. Salads are prepared in a separate area. The server did say that some items could be baked instead of fried like the french fries or yam fries, but the manager emphasized that the kitchen was an "open" one and they could not guarantee no cross-contamination of anything other than the salads. This place would be great for those sensitive to gluten, but not Celiac in my opinion.

I have been to Browns many times but this was my first coming for Brunch with my family, and the majority of us are celiac. Servers were very knowledgeable about cross contamination and let us know that fryers “may contain” so we were aware. None of us were impacted and overall another great experience.

Very open to accommodate and flag as “allergy.” Staff seemed knowledgeable but do note there’s no dedicated fryer, therefore certain items may seem gluten free but are not.
