I just got diagnosed as celiac last week and I’m still highly symptomatic, but it was my mom’s birthday so I wanted us to treat her to a nice dinner out. Cooper’s Hawk seemed to have a good GF system in place not only with an EXTENSIVE GF menu, but also with a list of allergens and cross-contamination possibilities for each dish. I did not try the GF bread as I read some reviews here which mentioned it got people sick, but they did offer it to me in a plate instead of a wooden board, so I thought that was a good sign of their knowledge.
I had the fillet mignon with broccoli and potatoes and I think they are definitely safe with avoiding cross-contact/contamination in the kitchen, especially when you warn the server.

This place has a separate, extensive gf menu. The staff seemed knowledgeable and the food was delicious. We all loved the gf bread, and the meal was delicious. The service wasn’t great but that was because they were very busy. I would definitely come back

Our waiter Dom was knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease. They have a separate prep area. Just a little tip. I hear a lot of people complaining getting sick from the bread. I always tell them to keep it in the bag and I will open it at the table myself. Never had a problem that way. Think smart. Lessen your contamination risk.

I got really sick after eating here. I ate their gf bread and chicken piccata.
— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
I got take out with the intention of testing the gluten free bread because I had gotten sick the last time I ate here. The bread was put in my bag in the bag that they receive it in instead of being handled. I tested it and it was safe. I felt great after eating my meal plus bread plus dessert. I wonder if others got sick before with the bread so this is the new protocol.

***Make a reservation*** We tried coming here on a Sunday night and they were booked. There was open seating in the bar but that was all taken with many people waiting for openings so we ordered take out. My husband and I ordered from their gluten free menu while my in-laws ordered from their regular menu. My husband ordered the Short Rib Risotto and I ordered the Lemon Piccata and caramel creme brulee. My husband and I tried each other's meal and we both agreed that the Lemon Piccata was the best though the Short Rib Risotto was delicious as well. We also asked for all the rolls that came with our meals to be gluten free and they were excellent. My typically bread disliking husband even liked the rolls and wanted a second one. We really liked that they even separated the gluten free food from the gluten containing food into separate bags. They also labeled both bags; one gluten free and one gluten containing so it was easy to be careful. Overall, the food was excellent and we felt very safe. It has been a whole day since consuming this meal and I haven't gotten sick.

My son has celiac and felt sick immediately after eating the GF bread. He’s only 8 so i don’t know for sure if he was glutened. I did find out that the wooden platter they serve the bread on is the same that they use for gluten. Is porous and no idea how well they wash it in between. Im thinking there may have been CC with the wood. They have a great gf menu… I would ask them to make sure to our the bread in a separate plate.

Large GF menu, staff was knowledgeable and accommodating on gluten and noted they have a separate prep area for gluten free
This is a chain restaurant, but this location just opened. Open for lunch & dinner. Surprisingly large separate GF menu. including several desserts. Good service & tasty food.
This is the best dining experience i've had since i've been gluten free. The server was extremely knowledgeable, explained how their manager has to sign off on all foods being gluten free before coming to the table, there's a separate cooking area and an extensive gf menu. They also brought me out my own fresh gluten free bun. Best meal i've had. I got the seared ahi tuna. Did not get sick and i have severe celiac's disease!

Love Cooper's Hawk! They have an extensive gluten-free menu with several choices in each category, including dessert. So many delicious options ! My favorite is the Dana's Chicken.
They do have gluten-free pasta. I always ask to be sure about separate water and have never gotten sick from it.
They will make gluten-free bread fresh in a separate oven to start the meal. If you order a burger, it's the same bread/roll/bun so it's a little big and awkward for a burger.
The staff have always been friendly and helpful. I make sure to note on my reservation that I have Celiac and need a gluten-free menu. Then I tell the server and they run through protocols. It's always been a good experience.

The chain generally does a great job with its gluten free items. This is the 3rd location I have eaten at and feel quite safe. Enjoyed a nice dinner with family.

I’ve never had any issues at Cooper’s hawk in the many years I’ve been going. I went to this location for the first time and there must have been cross contamination. I’m highly sensitive with celiac. I will never risk eating at this location again.
