First of all they messed up my whole family’s order. We all the got the wrong food. Second of all, after specifically saying i had a gluten allergy and that no bread or wheat product can touch my food or plate, they came out with a piece of bread on my plate! And then they tried to just take it off and give me the same meal. After i had them make me new food, the waitress and even manager had the worst attitude with me and my family. It was the worst experience and made me never want to go back. If you’re celiac i would avoid this place

Celiac friendly?

No

I eat here almost every Saturday. I order steak, salad and veggies, and have had no issues ever. very friendly and helpful.

I personally love Crackerbarrel food, but if you get anything that is cooked on the meat grill or from the fryer, it will be cross contaminated. Eggs, salad and a few of their vegetable sides will be your best option here

Celiac friendly?

No

Strange disclaimer on their menu, says "these are items that are free of gluten or low in gluten". The amount of gluten is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure they're talking about the grits being cross contaminated, but "low gluten" items should not be on the gluten free menu. Of course, this is a shared kitchen, so cross contamination is a strong possibility on any foods. Staff seemed knowledgeable, though.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.
