I went here on a work lunch. The server knew about cross contamination because I was asking about the side that comes with the omelette and she mentioned the potatoes are not safe for that reason. I ended up going with the Mexicali salad without the tortilla strips due to CC. When the food came out she announced mine was gluten free which reassured me. I don’t feel sick

They weren't very cautious and I only have an intolerance and it still made me sick

I'm reviewing the one in the Cambridgeside mall. They have a gf Godiva chocolate cheesecake which is really good. I think they have another gf cheesecake now too, it might be at the bottom of their showcase making it hard to find. I've gotten the Godiva cheesecake semi-frequently and never had any issues - you can let them know you have an allergy when you ask for it. I ate the actual meal food about twice and didn't have issues with that either. You are able to just walk in and order a slice of cheesecake to go, it is quick and convenient.

I had a great time at TCF - there are many GF menu items to choose from! I wasn’t expecting such a diverse range of options so I was actually a little overwhelmed (not a bad thing!). Menu items that are are naturally GF or can be made as such are marked on the menu. My only disappointment was lack of gluten free cheesecake. I never expect desserts at restaurants to be gluten free but TCF had marketed they have several cheesecakes, however I only saw one on the menu and in the facility. Overall had an amazing experience with my friends despite long wait times. Staff was exceptional.

For a restaurant with such a large menu, the GF options are very limited and their servers and staff are not very knowledgeable. They do have GF buns, but the one my son had was still cold on the inside.

I ate here tonight and got the gf pasta. Am in a world of pain 3 hours later…not saying it was the pasta but also not NOT saying it was the pasta. It wasn’t clear that anything on the menu would be safe, as even the salads had questionable things in them. Went for a friends bday but would not recommend going if you have any choice in the matter.

Great staff and very professional, however, it seems they are not as careful as they say. I was here for a Christmas party and was served food that had cross contact or trace amounts of gluten. I have been sick /fuzzy headed all day.

Good variety of GF options, pasta, burgers, etc. The food delicious the waiter very helpful because we also have other allergies, and he made the specific arrangements for our meals. Not a dedicated facility, but if you can handle traces probably will be good. I have gluten allergies and since in the comments I saw alerts of cross contamination I had a gluten cutter pill, just in case. I at a pasta dish and my mom a hamburger both of us have gluten allergies but we don’t have problems with traces.

My fiancée loved their gluten free menu options and greatly enjoyed the pasta she got. We didn’t catch our waitress’ name, but she told us she also suffers from gluten intolerance, so we felt like we were in safe hands. My fiancée forgot to ask for no croutons on her salad, but our waitress made sure there were none on there anyway. Absolutely fantastic experience
