Super nice staff, but I have to agree with the other reviews. The gluten free menu was so limited-eggs, fruit, and that’s about it. Didn’t make a lot of sense since there was more on the dairy free menu than the gluten free. I tried the ham steak, baked potato, and baby carrots. That was last night. Today my stomach is giving me trouble and feels bloated. I guess they do cook everything together.

Okay let me start off saying that the staff is so kind and understanding. They have nothing though that is registered gluten free. The allergy menu isn't even a menu it suggests eggs BBQ pork and fruit and vegetables. That's it they don't offer any kind of gluten free food and the contamination risk is very high. They would get 1 star but my waitress was such a nice lady. I came here because I had read a review and saw it said they had a gluten free menu and was very disappointed with the reality that I couldn't really eat anything but pay $7 for an egg and an apple -_-

When asked if GF Menu available I was given a 15 page spieal bound book listing every food item Doan the left side and 12 or more "allergens" as a header row across (spreadsheet style chart) I t would an hour with a magnifying glass to read that entire thing,very awkward and k.poisibke to be of any use to me. I asked about individual items.

This is a last resort restaurant IMO. I should have kept the"book" at the table as I am pretty sure the fried apples were in a flour based sauce.

I can't say I would recommend eating at a cracker barrel if you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity, but they do have options should you need them. They have an allergen menu on their website with some gluten free items, but there is still a high risk of cross-contact.

I only ordered a side of mashed potatoes to be safe. Explained to the staff that I have celiac disease and the importance of no cross-contact. I didn't have a reaction.

They do offer a gluten free menu and have a lot of gluten free items. I’m always a little cautious since they do such a high volume of food. No gluten free breads.

Absolutely a pain to eat here. Even with the allergen menu, the risk of cross contamination is very high.

A little disappointed with the options here. There is only one entree I can safely eat gluten free at this establishment- Grilled Chicken Tenderloins, with a few safe sides (usually I choose green beans and corn).

GF options are extremely limited here because almost everything is breaded, fried or is thickened with flour.

Cross contamination is possible.

Anyone who is Celiac should not eat here.
