Review of Cactus Club Cafe

Went for a friend’s birthday celebration and was expecting nothing safe. Was surprised and happy to hear that they take food allergies and Celiac disease very seriously. Have a separate prep area, food delivered by a manager.

Server asked if I was ok with “May Contains” or cross contact. I told her no and she said she had to look up all the ingredients in what I ordered. She pulled up a spreadsheet and checked every ingredient individually and noted what I could not have. Made suggestions for substitutions and put in my order with a Gluten Allergy/ Celiac flag. She was very knowledgeable about the restaurants protocols and assured me she understood the importance of communicating my needs to the kitchen.

After my order was placed a manager came by to reassure me.

My meal was great and I had no issues afterwards.

I ordered the Med Bowl with Chicken and Falafel cooked I the dedicated fryer.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
