Citizen Public House & Oyster Bar

Not a safe experience for us. We booked a pig-roast party specifying that we needed 3 gluten-free meals for guests with celiac disease. We verified by phone and by email. We were told it would not be a problem serving us. Unfortunately, it was a problem. The manager never told the kitchen to prepare gluten-free meals. To their credit, they scrambled to feed us, but it was tricky, and in the scramble we were told one of the dishes was gluten-free when it was not. That should never happen in a celiac-safe and well-managed facility.

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

— Not at all

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Good

First they do not have a GF menu. And they couldn’t do almost the whole menu GF as someone else previously stated. They also did not have a GF bun. However, our waiter was very accommodating with our son who has celiac. He wrote down everything that was GF which included a couple salads, steak frites, pork tenderloin, or a bunless burger. The fries were safe and amazing!! I will say that the menu items and flavors were a bit “fancy” for a kid so he didn’t love his dinner. However 4 stars for our waiter, service, safe food, and safe fries. Flavors and pricing better suited for adults.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. There’s several options to choose from. I had the steak frites and loved it. The place itself is pretty nice and the staff was knowledgeable. I didn’t get sick. Can’t wait to go back!

Such a great spot! I had a gf burger and fries from a designated frier. They can do almost their entire menu gf. Their kitchen is open until 1:30am! One of the only places in the area to get gf that late. Had a gf grapefruit IPA.

We had a fabulous meal there. An ahi burger on a really good GF bun and a lamb shank that fell off the bone. Absolutely delicious. Most of the appetizers were safe too. The sides were really tasty too. No plain "without the sauce" GF options here. The meals with gluten were the minority on of their menu. It wasn't an extensive menu but it was very good. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful. All in all, one of the most enjoyable dinners we've had out since diagnosis.

Burgers with Gluten free buns were awesome. Fries are apparently gluten free too, but I opted for the salad instead. Oysters are delicious too!!
